5. Setup

5.1 Mounting

5.3 DMX Connection (Optional)

For DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the DMX IN port on the rear of the FLT-75-41 (refer to Figure 2). If connecting multiple DMX fixtures, daisy-chain them from the DMX OUT of one fixture to the DMX IN of the next.

6. Operating Modes

The Redshow FLT-75-41 offers multiple operating modes, controllable via the onboard control panel or the included remote control.

6.1 Control Panel Operation

The control panel (Figure 3) features a digital display and four buttons:

• UP: Increases values or navigates up through menu options.
• DOWN: Decreases values or navigates down through menu options.
• ENTER: Confirms selections or enters sub-menus.

Use these buttons to select DMX addresses, choose operating modes (Auto, Sound, Manual Color), and adjust parameters like brightness or speed.

6.2 Remote Control Operation

The DMX LED Remote Controller (Figure 5) provides convenient wireless control:

• Auto: Activates pre-programmed automatic light shows.
• Sound: Engages sound-activated mode, where the light reacts to music via its built-in microphone.
• DMX: Switches the unit to DMX control mode.
• Black Out: Turns off all LEDs.
• Red, Green, Blue, White: Selects individual primary colors.
• Color Buttons (1-9): Selects various pre-mixed colors.

• Flash: Activates a strobe or flash effect.

6.3 DMX Control Mode

When in DMX mode, the fixture responds to signals from an external DMX controller. Set the DMX address using the control panel. Consult your DMX controller's manual for specific programming instructions. The FLT-75-41 typically uses a standard number of DMX channels for color mixing (RGBW) and effects.

6.4 Sound-Activated Mode

In sound-activated mode, the built-in microphone detects ambient sound, and the light patterns and colors will change in response to the music or audio. Adjust the microphone sensitivity if available via the control panel or remote.

6.5 Auto Mode

Auto mode cycles through a series of pre-programmed light shows and color sequences. The speed of these programs can often be adjusted using the '+' and '-' buttons on the remote or the control panel.

7.1 Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal light output and extends the lifespan of the unit.

1. Disconnect the unit from power before cleaning.
