Control Mode

The fixtures are individually addressed
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 Compact Lightset allows you to assign the DMX fixture address,
which is the first channel from which the Compact Lightset will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 15 channels.
When using multiple Compact Lightsets, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Compact Lightset should be 1(A001); the DMX address of the
second Compact Lightset should be 1+15=16 (A016); the DMX address of the third Compact Lightset
should be 16+15=31 (A011), etc. Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order
to control each Compact Lightset correctly.
If two or more Compact Lightsets are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under "Addressing'.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Compact Lightset fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Compact Lightset will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is
received or not. If there is
flash.
The problem may be:
• The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Compact Lightset.
• 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.
