01Safety Instructions

Read this chapter completely before first use. Damage resulting from failure to observe these instructions is excluded from the warranty.

Risk of fatal electric shock Only qualified professionals may install, operate and repair this fixture — always strictly in accordance with this manual. Electrical connection must only be carried out by qualified installers. Each fixture must be properly earthed.

The light source and any damaged external supply cable must only be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person.
Check the fixture for transport damage immediately upon receipt. Do not operate a damaged fixture and contact the supplier promptly.
This product is intended for indoor use (IP20). Avoid humid or excessively dusty environments; service roughly every three months.
Install the fixture in a well-ventilated location at least 50 cm from walls; keep ventilation openings clear.
Do not look directly into the light source — risk of eye damage.
Never attempt to open or repair the fixture yourself.
Do not use a power cord with damaged insulation and do not run it alongside other cables. Unplug the fixture when not in use or when cleaning — never pull on the cord.
If the fixture has a safety eyelet or hole, additionally secure it with a safety cable.
Before operation, check that all parts are securely connected and screws are properly tightened.

Before opening Fully disconnect the fixture from mains power before opening any cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Brown	Live wire	L
Blue	Neutral wire	N
Yellow / Green	Earth	PE

If the external cable is damaged, it must be replaced with a cable of the type specified by the manufacturer or its service agent. The mains voltage used must match the voltage indicated on the rating label and must be protected by overload/leakage protection. Do not connect too many fixtures to a single power cable.

3.2DMX512 connection

Connect fixtures exclusively in series (not in parallel) via 3-pin XLR cables: DMX OUT of the previous fixture to DMX IN of the next. Each fixture has its own address code, set via the control panel.

Fit a 120 Ω termination resistor between pins 2 and 3 of the output connector on the last fixture in the chain to prevent signal reflections.
If a fixture within the chain loses power, the DMX pass-through is bridged internally so the remaining fixtures continue to be addressed.
All fixtures must be set to DMX mode to ensure only one host is active on the signal line.

RDM note RDM (Remote Device Management) extends the DMX512-A protocol over the bidirectional RS-485 bus. RDM operation requires an RDM-capable controller; a simple one-way signal amplifier in the chain blocks RDM feedback data.

04Operating Modes & Control Panel

4.1Operating modes

Mode	Description
DMX mode	Console operation; receives DMX and RDM signal.
Self-walking mode	The fixture runs automatically according to a built-in program.
Sound mode	When strong sound is detected, the fixture automatically runs a scene from the built-in program; otherwise the last scene is maintained.
Scene mode	Runs as above and additionally supports custom editing of up to 10 scenes.

Scene playback in scene mode

Setting	Description
1 – 10	Outputs the specified scene
Automatic	Outputs scenes automatically in order at their set time (non-0); scenes with time 0 are skipped

Master/slave selection (outside DMX mode)

Setting	Description
Master	Runs built-in program and outputs data if no DMX signal is present; otherwise no data output (synchronization)
Slave	Runs built-in program, does not output data (not synchronized with other fixtures)
Auto	If no DMX signal is present, runs built-in program; otherwise operates from the DMX signal

Note Scene mode is suitable for single-fixture use or small quantities: only a fixed scene needs to be output, or a simple program run, without a console. If the light source is a bulb, wait 10 minutes before switching the bulb off.

4.2Display & panel settings

The fixture supports English, German and Chinese as well as mirrored display. The touchscreen provides the following settings:

Setting	Values	Function
Language	English / 中文	Display language
Screen protection (after 30 s idle)	Off	Keeps the last page lit
	Mode 1	Screen off
	Mode 2	Black screen, address code shown bottom-left
	Mode 3	Shows brand info, address code & operating mode
Screen rotation	Off	No mirroring
	On	Mirrored display
	Auto	Automatically detects fixture orientation
DMX indicator	Mode 1	Lit with signal, off without signal
	Mode 2	Off with signal, lit without signal
	Mode 3	Blinks with signal, off without signal
Signal brightness	1 – 10	Signal LED brightness, 10 steps
Backlight	1 – 10	Brightness after 10 s idle, 10 steps
Touch switch	On / Off	Disable touch if damaged; use auxiliary buttons instead
Touch calibration	—	Calibration page if the touchscreen misbehaves

Touch calibration Do not enter the calibration page under normal circumstances. Only use it when touch detection is demonstrably faulty; if the touchscreen itself is damaged, disable touch instead.

Chapter 05

05Scene Mode

In scene-editing mode the fixture does not receive DMX console data — edited values are reflected on the fixture immediately. Up to 10 scenes can be stored.

Setting	Values	Description
Scenario selection	1 – 10	Selects the scene to edit
Scene time	0	Scene does not participate in automatic output
Scene time	1 – 255	0.1 s to 25.5 s hold time
Channel 1 · Pan	0 – 255	Channel values per the DMX channel table (Chapter 07)
…	0 – 255
Channel N · function	0 – 255

Reset behaviour in scenes If the reset channel is triggered within a scene, the fixture performs the reset; afterward that channel's value automatically resets to prevent repeated resets.

Chapter 06

06Advanced Setup

Setting	Values	Description
