Foreword
Thank you for choosing the Aurona Aurona Blinder 2×200VW IP65 — a weatherproof blinder with two 200 W COB cells in variable white (2700 K warm white + 6500 K cool white), 64 additional amber LEDs for tungsten emulation and five 16-bit dimming curves.
This document covers installation, operation, menu navigation and the complete DMX mapping of all seven channel modes. Read the manual in full — especially the Safety Information chapter — before first use, and keep it with the unit.
The fixture is weatherproof (IP65) and intended for professional use only. Maximum ambient temperature: 40 °C. The housing may be hot during and after operation.

Chapter 03
This device can be mounted in many orientations provided each individual device is secured by the use of the correct mounting bracket. The double yokes allow both free-standing floor use and horizontal hanging; mounting points on the top and bottom are provided for vertical rigging. Cam locks on the side and back accept ¼-turn omega brackets. For linking multiple fixtures, 6 coffin locks and 3 tool-free lock handles are provided.
If the fine-wire fuse of the device fuses, only replace the fuse by a fuse of the same type and rating. Before replacing the fuse, unplug the mains lead.

After selecting DMX Add and pressing "Enter", use "Up" and "Down" to select the desired DMX address and press "Enter" to save. In the same way, DMX Cha selects the channel mode and Dim Mode the dimming curve.
By standard, out of the box, the fixture holds the last signal when no DMX signal is present or the signal is lost. Via DMX Loss you can instead select Hold (hold last signal), Blackout, Manual (last manual colour) or Auto (last auto show selected).
Under this item you can pick a channel and assign a function of the DMX mode. Once User DMX is selected, click through the channels and re-arrange them as you please; set the channel following the last used one to End so that the mode stops there. For a 10-channel mode, channel 11 would be "End". To select this mode, choose User under DMX channel mode.
In Manual mode, use "Up" and "Down" to select the colour from the preset group (5 colour temperatures) or the fine-tune group (21 steps), set the illuminated area via Zones to "All", "Pixel 1" or "Pixel 2", and set the intensity from 000 to 255. Press "Enter" to save.

In Auto Pro mode use "Up" and "Down" to select the built-in program, confirm with "Enter", then set the run speed from <Sp000> to <Sp100> and the dimmer from <dim000> to <dim255>. Press "Enter" to save. For Pr 03 (Fade 1) to Pr 12 (Sound), the colour temperature is taken from the Manual menu.
Set the master fixture to one of the stand-alone operating modes: automatic, sound, static colour or manual colour. On the slaves, enter Mas/Sla mode, set it to "S" and press "Enter" to confirm.
Each fixture is equipped with a built-in WDMX module and an antenna, allowing it to both receive and transmit DMX signals without any DMX cables. To enable WDMX operation, first pair the fixture with another fixture or with a standalone transceiver connected to a DMX console.
Turn on a standalone transceiver (not included) by pressing the power button. When the indicator light turns white, release the button; the transceiver is then in configuration mode. There, pressing the button once switches the air protocol and the indicator colour changes in the order shown below. After selecting the target protocol, press and hold the button for more than one second and release it when the indicator turns white — the device then enters operating mode.
| Colour | Air protocol |
|---|---|
| Red | EL MODE |
| Green | WDMX reception |
| Blue | WDMX transmission |
| Group | Indicator colour |
|---|---|
| CH00 | Red |
| CH01 | Green |
| CH02 | Blue |
| CH03 | Red + green = yellow |
| CH04 | Green + blue = cyan |
| CH05 | Red + blue = magenta |
In EL MODE, six groups with independent ID codes can be set; only transceivers within the same group communicate with one another. Six transmitters can be set to IDs CH00 to CH05, controlling six groups of different receiving devices (for example six lighting zones). This avoids signal interference between groups.
On the fixture: press "Menu", navigate with "Up" and "Down", select Wireless and press "Enter". Choose "On" or "Off" to enable or disable wireless DMX. With "On", return to Mode, select EL Mode, press "Enter" and set the group number CH<00> to CH<05>. When several fixtures or transceivers are in the same group, the one transmitting is assumed to be the transmitter and the rest automatically become receivers. Under Mode, W-DMX_R → "Delete" starts pairing with a transmitter; W-DMX_T → "Create" starts pairing with a receiver.
Chapter 05
The fixture offers seven fixed channel modes (1 / 1U / 2 / 5 / 7 / 8 / 10 CH) plus a freely assignable user mode. The following chapters list each mode in full.
