Compact Par 7 MKII

Control Panel

Control Mode

The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
first channel from which the Compact Par 7 MKII will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 7 channels.
When using multiple Compact Pars, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Compact Pars should be 1(d001); the DMX address of the second
Compact Par 7 MKII should be 1+7=8 (d008); the DMX address of the third Compact Par 7 MKII should be
8+7=15 (d015), etc.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each Compact Par 7
MKII correctly.
If two or more Compact Pars are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Compact Par 7 MKII fixtures, you may now start operating these via your
lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Compact Par 7 MKII will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is
received or not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the "LED" on the control panel will not
flash.
The problem may be:
• The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Compact Par 7 MKII.
• The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It's necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 10 seconds
When no button is pressed for 10 seconds, the display will turn off.

Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.
