Mounting

Use the included mounting bracket and screws to secure the fixture. Ensure all connections are tight and secure. When hanging, use appropriate clamps and safety cables (not included) to prevent accidental falls.

Power Connection

Connect the provided power cord to the "POWER IN" port on the back of the unit and then to a standard 120V AC grounded power outlet.

DMX Connection (Optional)

For DMX control, connect a 3-pin DMX cable from your DMX controller to the "DMX IN" port of the first fixture. To daisy-chain multiple fixtures, connect a DMX cable from the "DMX OUT" port of the first fixture to the "DMX IN" port of the next fixture. Ensure the last fixture in the chain has a DMX terminator (not included) for stable signal transmission.

Operating Instructions

The XFALIGHTS Moving Head Light offers several operational modes, accessible via the 4-button menu display on the base of the unit.

Control Panel Navigation

  • MENU: Cycles through the main menu options.
  • UP: Increases the value or moves up in menu options.
  • DOWN: Decreases the value or moves down in menu options.
  • ENTER: Confirms the selected option or value.

Operational Modes

  1. Auto Mode: The light will run through pre-programmed sequences automatically. Use the menu to select different auto programs or adjust speed.
  2. Sound-Activated Mode: The light will react to ambient sound via its built-in microphone. Sensitivity can be adjusted through the menu.
  3. DMX Mode: For professional control, connect the light to a DMX512 controller. The light supports 13 or 15 DMX channels. Refer to the DMX Channel Chart section for detailed channel functions.
