caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.

Set Up and Operation

Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your preferred operation mode.

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.

One Sliding Profile Dimmer

1. Fasten the Sliding Profile Dimmer onto firm trussing. Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.

2. Plug the cord into a proper electric power supply socket.

3. To setup the device, see page 8 for the menu settings.

Multiple Sliding Profile Dimmers

1. Fasten the Sliding Profile Dimmer onto firm trussing. Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.

2. Use a 3-p or a 5-pin XLR cable to connect the Sliding Profile Dimmers.

3. Link the units as shown in (Fig. 2), Connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to

the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units.

Control Panel

When the indicator light flashes, means the Sliding Profile Dimmer is working.

Fig. 3

Control Mode

The Sliding Profile Dimmers are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to

the controller.

The Sliding Profile Dimmers respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX

address and save it, the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the front side allows you to assign the DMX address, which is the first channel from

which the Sliding Profile Dimmer will respond to the controller.

Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 2channels.

When using multiple Sliding Profile Dimmers, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.

Therefore, the DMX address of the first Sliding Profile Dimmer should be 1(A001); the DMX address of the

second Sliding Profile Dimmer should be 1+2=3 (A003); the DMX address of the third Sliding Profile Dimmer

should be 3+2=5 (A005), etc.

Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Sliding Profile

Dimmer correctly.

If two or more Sliding Profile Dimmers are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

Controlling:

After having addressed all Sliding Profile Dimmers, you may now start operating these via your lighting

controller.

Note: After switching on, the Sliding Profile Dimmer will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is

received or not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED “ on the control panel will not

flash.

The problem may be:

- The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Sliding Profile Dimmer.

- The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are

swapped in the input connector.

Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last Sliding Profile Dimmers in

order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
