2. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your DEEJAY LED A-B Box (DJ154):

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the lighting unit and all accessories from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit.
2. Mounting: The unit comes with a handle bracket. This bracket can be used to mount the light in various configurations:
   • Truss Mounting: Use appropriate clamps (not included) to attach the bracket securely to a lighting truss. Ensure all screws are tightened.
   • Wall Mounting: Fix the bracket to a wall using suitable screws and anchors (not included), ensuring the surface can support the unit's weight.
   • Floor/Table Placement: The bracket can also serve as a stand, allowing the unit to be placed directly on a floor or table to illuminate corners or specific areas.
3. Power Connection: Connect the provided power cord to the unit's power input and then to a standard electrical outlet. The unit operates via a corded electric power source.
4. Control Connection (Optional): If using DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller to the DMX input on the DJ154 unit. For multiple units, daisy-chain them using DMX output to the next unit's DMX input.

Ensure the unit is placed in a location with adequate ventilation to allow the built-in cooling fan to operate effectively.

3. Operating Instructions

The DEEJAY LED A-B Box (DJ154) offers multiple operating modes:

3.1. DMX Control Mode

For precise control over color mixing, strobe effects, and programs, connect the DJ154 to a DMX512 controller. Refer to the unit's display or a separate DMX channel chart (if provided with the product) to understand the specific DMX channels and their functions. This mode allows for professional integration into larger lighting setups.

3.2. Master/Slave Mode

In a multi-unit setup, you can designate one DJ154 unit as the 'Master' and others as 'Slave' units. Connect the DMX output of the Master unit to the DMX input of the first Slave unit, and then daisy-chain subsequent Slave units. The Slave units will mirror the operations of the Master unit, ensuring synchronized lighting effects without a dedicated DMX controller.

3.3. Sound-Active Mode

The DJ154 can operate in a sound-active mode, where its built-in microphone detects ambient sound and triggers dynamic lighting patterns. This mode is ideal for parties and events where lighting needs to react to music. The unit can produce various effects, including color changes, strobes, and automated programs, all synchronized to the beat.

3.4. Static Color and Strobe Effects

Even without DMX or sound input, the unit can be set to display static colors (such as amber, cyan, or other desired hues) or continuous strobe effects. Consult the unit's control panel or display for navigation through these preset modes.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DEEJAY LED A-B Box (DJ154).

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no moisture enters the unit. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Ventilation: The unit features a built-in cooling fan. Ensure that the ventilation openings are clear of dust and debris to prevent overheating. Periodically use compressed air to clear any accumulated dust from the vents.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically check all power and DMX cables for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately to prevent electrical hazards or signal loss.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the unit in a dry, dust-free environment, preferably in its original packaging or a padded case to protect it from physical damage.

No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

If you encounter issues with your DEEJAY LED A-B Box (DJ154), try the following troubleshooting steps:

• No Power:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the unit and a working electrical outlet.
  • Check the power outlet with another device to confirm it is live.
  • Inspect the power cord for any damage.
