In Slave Mode 1 (SL1), slave fixtures will follow the Master fixture when in Sound Active Mode. In Slave Mode 2 (SL2), each slave fixture will use its own microphone and behave independently when in Sound Active Mode. When not in Sound Active Mode, SL1 and SL2 function identically. Change between Sound Active Modes (So0-So8) and Sound Sensitivity (Se00Se99) Change between Auto-run Modes (Aut0-Aut8) and Autorun Speed (SP1-SP9) Turn the display backlight on or off.

For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its unique address control channels. For example, this device has three channel modes: 2/11, if we set the mode to standard 2 channels mode, and there are several models that need to be independently controlled, we just simply address first fixture at 1, and second fixture at 3, third one at 5, etc. · If the devices have the same address, they will behave synchronically. · Display is flashing when no DMX signal is received. www.event-lighting.com.au 7 2 Channel Mode Channel 1 2 Value 5-20 21-35 36-50 51-65 66-80 81-95 96-110 111-125 126-130 131-144 145-159 160-174 175-189 190-204 205-219 220-234 235-249 250-255 0-255 Function Auto 0 (Combined effect) Auto 1 (Beam effect single colour) Auto 2 (Beam effect mixed colour) Auto 3 (Laser + strobe) Auto 4 (Beam + strobe) Auto 5 (Beam (single colour) + laser) Auto 6 (Beam (mixed colour) + laser) Auto 7 (Laser effect) Auto 8 (Strobe effect) Sound 0 (Combined effect) Sound 1 (Beam effect 1) Sound 2 (Beam effect 2) Sound 3 (Laser + strobe) Sound 4 (Beam + strobe) Sound 5 (Laser + Beam 1) Sound 6 (Laser + Beam 2) Sound 7 (Laser effect) Sound 8 (Strobe effect) Run speed and sound sensitivity adjust www.event-lighting.com.au 8 14 Channel Mode Channel Value 1 0-7 8-15 16-23 24-31 32-39 40-47 48-55 56-63 64-71 72-79 80-87 88-95 96-103 104-111 112-119 120-127 128-135 136-143 144-151 152-159 160-167 168-175 176-183 184-191 192-199 200-207 208-215 216-223 224-231 232-239 240-255 2 0-250 251-255 3 0-250 4 251-255 5 0-250 6 251-255 7 0-250 8 251-255 9 0-7 8-47 48-87 88-127 128-167 Description Beam 1 Beam 1 Strobe effect Beam 2 Beam 2 strobe effect Beam 3 Beam 3 strobe effect Beam 4 Beam 4 strobe effect Laser effect Function None Red Green Blue White Amber Red + Green Red + Blue Red + White Red + Amber Green + Blue Green + White Green + Amber Blue + White Blue + Amber White + Amber Red + Green + Blue Red + Green + White Red + Green + Amber Red + Blue + White Red + Blue + Amber Green + Blue + White Green + Blue + Amber Blue + White + Amber Red + Green + Blue + White Red + Green + White + Amber Red + Green + Blue + Amber Green + Blue + White + Amber Red + Green + Blue + White + Amber Jump change with single colour Jump change with mixed colour Speed, slow to fast (when jump change) Sound strobe (same values as Channel 1/2) (same values as Channel 1/2) (same values as Channel 1/2) None Red Green Red + Green Red + Green Strobe www.event-lighting.com.au 9 168-207 Green + Red strobe 208-255 Alternate strobe 10 0-250 Laser Strobe Speed from slow to fast 251-255 effect Sound activated 11 0-7 Laser rotation No rotation 8-87 Backwards rotation, slow to fast 88-167 Forwards rotation, fast to slow 168-255 Random rotation 12 0-7 Strobe mode No function 8-36 No Strobe 37-66 Strobe effect 1 67-96 Strobe effect 2 97-126 Strobe effect 3 127-156 Strobe effect 4 157-186 Strobe effect 5 187-216 Strobe effect 6 217-246 Strobe effect 7 246-255 Strobe effect 8 13 0-255 Strobe effect Ch. 12 effect speed, slow to fast speed 14 0-7 Strobe effect No Strobe 8-240 Strobe speed, slow to fast 241-255 Sound activated Technical Specifications Photometric · Light Source: o Beam: 20pcs 3W LEDs (4pcs Red, 4pcs Green, 4pcs Blue, 4pcsWhite, and 4pcs Amber) o Strobe: 24pcs 0.2w SMD White LEDs o Laser: 532nm/30mW (Green) laser diode, 650nm/100mW (red) laser diode · LED Lifetime: 50,000 hours Power · Input Voltage: 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz · Power consumption: 80W · Connection: IEC in/out Control · Protocol: DMX512 · Operation Modes: DMX, auto, manual, sound active, IR remote, master/slave · DMX Channels: 2 / 14 · Interface: 3-pin XLR in/out · Display: 4-button 4-digit LED display control panel www.event-lighting.com.au 10 Housing · Materials: Metal · Finishing: Matte black · IP Rating: IP20 · Cooling: fan · Weight: 4.3kg · Dimensions: 365x365x370 (package) Warranty Please refer to your local dealer or contact Event Lighting Pty Ltd. www.event-lighting.com.au
