Compact Par 7 Q4

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, next time.)

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the back side of the device allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the
first channel with which the Compact Par will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 11 channels.
When using multiple Compact Pars, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Compact Par should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second
Compact Par should be 1+11=12 (012); the DMX address of the third Compact Par should be 12+11=23
(023), etc. Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each
Compact Par correctly. If two or more Compact Pars are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Compact Par fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Compact Par 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.
If not, the problem may be:
• The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Compact Par.
• 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 is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 20 seconds
