5. Setup
5.1 Mounting the Fixture
The Mini Moving Head Light can be placed on a flat surface or mounted to a truss or ceiling using the included hook bracket and screws. Ensure the mounting location is stable and can safely support the fixture's weight (0.85kg / 1.87lb).
- Surface Placement: Place the fixture on a stable, level surface. The rubber feet on the base provide stability.
- Overhead Mounting: Attach the hook bracket to the bottom of the fixture using the provided screws. Securely fasten the bracket to a truss or mounting bar. Always use a safety cable (not included) as a secondary attachment to prevent accidental falls.
5.2 Power Connection
Connect the included power cable to the power input on the rear of the fixture and then to a suitable AC100V-240V 50/60Hz power outlet.
5.3 DMX Connection (Optional)
For DMX control, connect a 3-pin XLR cable from your DMX controller's output to the DMX IN port of the first fixture. For multiple fixtures, daisy-chain them by connecting the DMX OUT of the first fixture to the DMX IN of the next, and so on. Ensure the last fixture in the chain has a DMX terminator (not included) for stable signal transmission.
6. Operating Modes
The fixture offers several operating modes, selectable via the control panel or remote control.
Figure 6.1: Overview of the five customizable control modes: DMX (13CH), Master/Slave, Sound-activated, Remote Control, and Auto.
6.1 Control Panel Operation
Use the 4-digit digital display and the MENU, UP, DOWN, ENTER buttons on the base of the fixture to navigate and select modes.
- MENU: Cycles through main menu options.
- UP/DOWN: Navigates through sub-options or adjusts values.
- ENTER: Confirms selection or saves settings.
