Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa. One / Multiple Phantom(s) DMX Control 1.
Fixture Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.
The Phantom can be operated with a controller in control mode or without the controller in stand-alone mode. Control Panel When the indicator light is on, means the Phantom is working Fig. 5 A. LCD Display D. Down Button B. MODE button E.
Control Panel Functions For synchronous operation of multiple fixtures the fixtures must all be connected on a data-link. Note: Disconnect the fixtures from the DMX controller before operating, otherwise data collisions can occur and the fixtures will not work properly! It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm ) into the input of the first fixture and into the output of the last fixture in the data-link, in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.
Motor / Adjustment Functions 1) Press Mode/Esc for 10 seconds, until the display shows: 2) Enter the Password : 2323. 3) Press Enter to confirm your choice. If there is no change or confirmation within 60 seconds, the fixture will automatically exit this function.
