5. Setup
5.1 Mounting
The fixture can be mounted to a truss or ceiling using the provided brackets and screws. Ensure the mounting surface or structure can support the weight of the fixture (approximately 9.87 kg or 21.7 lbs).
- Attach the mounting brackets to the fixture using the designated screw points.
- Securely fasten the fixture to the desired location, ensuring it is stable and cannot vibrate loose.
5.2 Power Connection
Connect the provided power cable to the 'POWER IN' port on the rear of the fixture and then to a suitable grounded power outlet. Multiple units can be daisy-chained using the 'POWER OUT' port, ensuring the total current draw does not exceed the circuit's capacity.
5.3 DMX Connection (Optional)
For DMX 512 control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the 'DMX IN' port of the first fixture. For multiple fixtures, connect the 'DMX OUT' of the first fixture to the 'DMX IN' of the next, and so on. Terminate the last fixture in the chain with a DMX terminator if experiencing signal issues.
6. Operating Modes
The DJXFLI Spider Moving Head Light offers several operating modes, selectable via the control panel.

6.1 DMX 512 Mode
This mode allows external control of the fixture's functions using a DMX controller. Set the DMX address for each fixture using the control panel. The fixture supports 13 or 43 DMX channels, providing detailed control over movement, color, strobe, and dimming.
6.2 Sound Activated Mode
In this mode, the fixture reacts to ambient sound via its built-in microphone, creating dynamic light patterns synchronized with music. Use the control panel to adjust sound sensitivity if available.
6.3 Auto Mode
The fixture runs through pre-programmed internal light shows automatically. This mode is suitable for standalone operation without external control.
6.4 Master/Slave Mode
Connect multiple fixtures via DMX cables. Set one fixture as the 'Master' and the others as 'Slave' units. The slave units will then mirror the master's operation, creating synchronized light shows without a DMX controller.
