5.2 Power Connection
- Connect the provided power cord to the POWER IN port on the light bar and then to a suitable power outlet.
- For daisy-chaining multiple units, connect a power link cable from the POWER OUT port of the first unit to the POWER IN port of the next unit. Ensure the total power consumption does not exceed the circuit's capacity.
5.3 DMX Connection (Optional)
- Connect a 3-pin XLR cable from your DMX controller's output to the DMX IN port of the first light bar.
- To control multiple units, connect a DMX cable from the DMX OUT port of the first unit to the DMX IN port of the next unit in the chain.
- For optimal signal integrity, terminate the DMX chain with a 120-ohm DMX terminator on the last fixture's DMX OUT port.
6. Operating Modes
The light bar offers several operating modes, selectable via the digital display and control buttons.

6.1 Auto Mode (Self-Propelled)
In Auto mode, the light bar cycles through its built-in programs automatically. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select different auto programs and adjust their speed.
6.2 Sound-Active Mode (Voice Control)
The light bar responds to music and sound via its built-in microphone. The lighting effects will synchronize with the beat. Adjust microphone sensitivity if needed through the menu options.
6.3 Master-Slave Mode
Connect multiple light bars via DMX cables. Set one unit as the 'Master' and the others as 'Slave' units. The slave units will mirror the master's operation, allowing synchronized effects without a DMX controller.
6.4 DMX Mode
For advanced control, connect the light bar to a DMX512 controller. This mode allows precise control over individual colors, dimming, strobe, and built-in programs. Refer to the DMX Control section for channel assignments.
