Thank you for purchasing the Talent RGBW Mini Moving Head Lighting Fixture. Please read this user guide for safety and operation information before using the product. Safety Instructions • Please keep this User Manual for future consultation. If you sell the fixture, be sure to include this instruction booklet to ensure proper maintenance and use. • Unpack and check carefully for transportation damage before using the fixture. • Before operating, ensure that the power supply voltage and frequency match the power of your electrical system. • It’s important to connect the yellow/green conductor to ground to avoid electric shock. • Disconnect main power before servicing and maintenance. • Use a safety cable when permanently mounting this fixture. Always handle the fixture with care. • Maximum ambient temperature is 104° F. • In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the fixture immediately. Please contact the dealer from whom you purchased the fixture, the nearest authorized technical repair facility, or Talent Sound & Lighting directly.
Modes of Operation Your Talent Sound & Lighting fixture may be operated as a stand-alone device that runs on pre-programmed routines or sound activation, in master/slave mode with other devices, or via an external DMX512 controller. In DMX mode it is configurable to be controlled by 7 or 14 channels of an outboard DMX controller. Besides sound activation and automatic modes of stand-alone operation, there are two main ways to control the fixture: A. Universal DMX controller This fixture’s DMX address can be set remotely by a universal DMX controller. First, you need to program two scenes into a chase, and then link the fixtures to the universal DMX controller. When you run the chase, the fixtures in the chain will set the series DMX address automatically. Each lighting fixture needs to have an address set when in DMX mode, to receive the data sent by the controller. The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1). B. Master/Slave operation The fixture allows you to link as many as 16 fixtures together and operate without a controller. In Master/Slave mode, the first fixture will control the others to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good for when you want an instant performance. The first, or master, fixture’s DMX input will have nothing connected to it. Its output connects to the slave fixtures. DMX Channel Chart - 7 Channel: DMX channel Value Function Description Remark 1.

1.) You may have a break in the DMX cabling. Check the LED for the response of the master/ slave mode signal. 2.) Wrong DMX address in the fixture. Set the fixture to the proper address. 3.) Use of microphone cables for DMX connections can cause errors D. The fixture doesn’t respond to sound. 1.) Make sure the fixture is not set to receive a DMX signal. 2.) Check the fixture’s internal microphone by tapping the microphone. DMX General Information The DMX512 digital communication protocol was introduced to control stage lighting and special effects. The DMX standard features 512 available channels, and they are assignable in any sequence that conforms to the user’s needs. Each DMX-capable fixture requires one or more sequential channels. A starting address, which indicates the first control channel reserved for that particular fixture, must be assigned to the fixture before the controller can recognize it. DMX controllable fixtures may vary in the number of channels they require, depending on the fixtures features and/or functionality. Channels should never be permitted to overlap; otherwise, for example, a fader that controls blue output on one fixture may cause strobing or dimming on an adjacent, incorrectly assigned fixture. Multiple fixtures of the same type that use an identical starting address will function in unison. Fixtures assigned properly spaced starting addresses will operate individually, but a DMX controller with sufficient channels can be configured to run these same fixtures either combined or independently. The sequence in which DMX fixtures are connected has no effect on how a controller communicates with each individual lighting fixture. Although 3-pin XLR mic cables may be used to connect DMX fixtures over short runs, longer distances will introduce data errors due to the mic cable’s incorrect impedance. For best results, Talent Sound & Lighting recommends the use of correct 120 ohm, low-capacitance, twisted pair cable designed for the DMX512 protocol. It is also suggested that a termination resistor plug be used on the output connector of the last fixture in an array of DMX instruments. This resistance ensures proper data transmission.
