LED Octostrip Set MKII 100 cm
The LED Octostrip Set MKII 100 cm can be operated with a light controller in control mode or without the
controller in stand-alone mode.

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 front side of the base allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the first
channel with which the Octostrip will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 208 channels.
When using multiple Octostrips, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Octostrip should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second
Octostrip should be 1+208=209 (209). The DMX address of the third Octostrip should be 209+208=417
(417), etc. Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each
Octostrip correctly. If two Octostrips are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Note: It is also possible to connect multiple devices by means of ArtNet. See page 13 for more
information.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Octostrip fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Octostrip 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 LED Octostrip MKII 100 cm.
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 60 seconds
When no button is pressed for 60 seconds, the display will turn off.
To light up the display, you have to press the MODE, SETUP, UP or DOWN button.
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.
