4. Setup
4.1 Mounting
The Moving Head DJ Light offers flexible installation options:
- Standing Installation: Utilize the four foot pads at the bottom of the unit for stable placement on a flat surface.
- Overhead Installation: Attach one of the two provided mounting brackets to the unit and secure it to a truss or ceiling structure. Ensure the mounting point can safely support the weight of the light.
4.2 Power Connection
Connect the provided power cable to the 'POWER IN' port on the rear of the unit and then to a suitable 220V AC power outlet.
4.3 DMX Connection (Optional)
For DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the 'DMX IN' port on the light. If linking multiple lights, connect the 'DMX OUT' of the first light to the 'DMX IN' of the next, and so on. Ensure proper DMX termination for stable signal transmission.
5. Operating Modes
The light supports various operating modes, selectable via the control panel on the unit or an external DMX controller.
5.1 DMX512 Control Mode
This mode allows precise control over all light functions (color, movement, strobe, dimming) using a DMX512 controller. The light operates on 13 or 15 DMX channels. Refer to the DMX channel chart in the full user manual for detailed channel assignments.

5.2 Master and Slave Mode
In this mode, multiple lights can be synchronized. One unit is set as the 'Master' and others as 'Slaves'. The slave units will mimic the master unit's movements and effects. Connect the DMX OUT of the master unit to the DMX IN of the first slave, and daisy-chain subsequent slaves.
5.3 Sound Activated Control Mode
The light features a built-in microphone that allows it to react to music and ambient sounds. In this mode, the light will automatically change colors, patterns, and movements in sync with the beat. This mode is ideal for parties or events without a DMX controller.
