These LED's allow you to monitor the output of each channel.

3) Mode select indicators

Indicates which of the 4 modes is currently active.

4) Master dimmer

Controls the overall dim level of the 4 channels.

5) Background level

With this fader you can set the background level (minimum output level) of the 4 dimmer channels. This

can "soften" the chaser effects so they become less aggressive.

Attention: don't set this fader to maximum, you won't be able to see the chaser patterns or set proper

dimming levels for the 4 channels.

6) Program speed control

When "program speed" mode is selected, you can change the speed of the selected chaser program.

7) Power switch

Used to switch the unit ON/OFF.

8) Audio sensitivity

Used to adjust the input sensitivity of the external audio inputs. Adjust the level until the sound activated

functions work nicely to the rythm of the music.

9) Dimmer channels

These are 4 faders used to set the individual dimming levels of the 4 channels. Below each fader there's a

flash button to set the output of the corresponding channel to 100% (full) for as long as the button is

pressed.

10) Program display

Shows which of the 4 modes is currently active.

11) Mode select

Used to select 1 of the 4 user modes:

Hold Dim: This mode can be used to control the dimming levels of the outputs. The 4 faders can be used

to set the dimming level of each channell output individually.

Hold Sound: The Music is divided into 4 different frequency ranges (bass, middle, high, antibass). Each of

the 4 output channels will respond to a different frequency range.

Program Sound: The chaser program selected with the "program select" button will be displayed. The

chaser speed is synchronised to the rythm of the music.

Program Speed: The chaser program selected with the "program select" button will be displayed. The

chaser speed can be adapted with the speed fader.

12) Program select

choose the program you like. Nine different chaser programs can be selected. Program 0 is a random

program.

Common Terms

The following are common terms used in intelligent light programming.

Blackout is a state where all lighting fixtures' light outputs are set to 0 or off, usually on a temporary basis.

DMX·512 is an industry standard digital communication protocol used in entertainment lighting

equipment. For more information read Sections "DMX Primer" and "DMX Control Mode" in the Appendix.

Fixture refers to your lighting instrument or other device such as a fogger or dimmer which you can

control.

Programs are a number of scenes arranged one after another. It can be programmed as either a single

scene or multiple scenes in sequence.

Scenes are static lighting states.

Sliders are also known as faders.

Chases can also be called programs. A chase consists of a number of scenes arranged one after

another.

Scanner refers to a lighting instrument with a pan and tilt mirror; however DMX controllers can use this

term to control any DMX-512 compatible device as a generic fixture.

MIDI is a standard for representing musical information in a digital format. A MIDI input would provide

external triggering of scenes using midi devices such as a midi keyboard.

Stand Alone refers to a fixture's ability to function independently of an external controller and usually in

sync to music, due to a built in microphone.

Fade slider is used to adjust the fade time between scenes within a chase.

Speed slider affects the amount of time a scene will hold its state. It is also considered a wait time.

Shutter is a mechanical device in the lighting fixture that allows you to block the lights path. It is often

used to lessen the intensity of the light output and to strobe.

Patching refers to the process of assigning faders to a DMX channel within a fixture.

Playbacks can be either scenes or chases that are directly called to execution by the user. A playback

can also be considered program memory that can be recalled during a show.

Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification

voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.

Maintenance

clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse

Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections

with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying

electric power.

Replacing a Fuse

Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the

fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below to do

so.

1. Unplug the unit from electric power source.

2. Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the fuse cover. Turn the screwdriver to the left, at the same time

gently push a bit (Turn and Push). The fuse will come out.

3. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.

4. Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to

use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.
