4. Setup

4.1 Unpacking and Inspection

Carefully remove the lighting unit from its packaging. Inspect the unit for any signs of damage that may have occurred during transit. If any damage is found, do not operate the unit and contact customer support immediately.

4.3 Power Connection

Connect the included power cable to the power input on the rear of the unit and then to a standard AC 110-240V, 50-60Hz power outlet. Ensure the power source matches the unit's requirements.

4.4 DMX Connection (Optional)

For DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the DMX IN port on the LE-Par36. If linking multiple units, connect a DMX cable from the first unit's DMX OUT to the next unit's DMX IN, and so on. Ensure the last unit in the chain has a DMX terminator (not included) for stable signal transmission.

5. Operating Modes

The LE-Par36 offers several operating modes, selectable via the LED display menu on the rear panel.

5.1 Menu Navigation

Use the buttons next to the LED display to navigate and select modes:

• MODE: Cycles through main operating modes (e.g., Auto, Sound, DMX).
• UP/DOWN: Adjusts parameters or cycles through options within a selected mode.
• ENTER: Confirms selection or saves settings.

5.2 Auto Mode (A1-A7)

In Auto mode, the unit cycles through pre-programmed light sequences without external input. Use the menu to select from various built-in programs (A1 for color, A2 for jump, A3 for gradient, A4 for voice, A5 for strobe, A6 for auto, A7 for happy).

5.3 Sound-Activated Mode

The unit's built-in microphone detects ambient sound and synchronizes light patterns to the beat of the music. Select this mode from the menu to activate.

5.4 DMX Control Mode

For professional control, connect the unit to a DMX512 controller. Set the DMX address for the unit using the menu. The LE-Par36 uses 7 DMX channels, allowing control over individual color intensity (Red, Green, Blue), strobe speed, and various program selections.

5.5 Master-Slave Mode

Link multiple LE-Par36 units together for synchronized operation without a DMX controller. Set one unit as the 'Master' (e.g., in Auto or Sound mode) and the other units as 'Slave'. Connect the DMX OUT of the Master unit to the DMX IN of the first Slave unit, and continue the chain. Slave units will mirror the Master's behavior.
