= brightness of blue (0 – 255)
= brightness of white (0 – 255)
= flash frequency of the stroboscope (0 – 20)
4) Select the five adjusting functions successively
with the button ENTER and adjust the bright-
ness or the flash frequency with the button 
or  .
Hint: When adjusting the brightness of the colours red,
green or blue, not only their brightness changes but also
the shade of colour in case the colours are mixed . There-
fore, first adjust the colour which is to dominate to the
desired brightness and then add the other two colours .
If the intended colour mixture is white, first adjust the
brightness of the green colour because this appears to
be the brightest colour to the human eye . Then add red
to result in yellow and finally add blue to result in white .

6.1.2 Programs running automatically

1) Press the button MENU repeatedly until the
indication on the display does not change any

2) Press the button  or  repeatedly until the
display shows
3) Press the button ENTER . The display now
switches to
4) Select the desired control program with the
button  or :
= crossfading and selecting different
colours
= different kinds of colour change and
stroboscope alternately
5) To change the running speed, press the button
ENTER . The display now shows
and a number (1 – 9) . Adjust the speed with the
button  or  (1 = slow, 9 = fast) .

6.1.3 Music control

For music control the LEDs shortly light up at max-
imum brightness via the sound picked up by the
microphone (4) .
1) Press the button MENU repeatedly until the

6.2 Synchronous control of several
spotlights (master-slave mode)
Several PARL-40DMX can be interconnected . Then
the master unit can control all slave units in sync .
1) Interconnect the spotlights to a chain via the
DMX connections . For this purpose see chapter
6 .3 .1 "DMX connection", however, skip step 1 .
2) The first spotlight of the chain [whose input
DMX IN (5) is not connected] serves as a master
unit and controls the slave units . Adjust the
slave units to the slave mode:
a) Press the button MENU repeatedly until the
indication on the display does not change
any more .
b) Press the button  or  repeatedly until the
display shows
c) Press the button ENTER . The display is
switched to

6.3 Operation with a DMX controller

For operation via a DMX light controller (e . g . DMX-
1440 or DMX-510USB from IMG STAGE LINE) the
spotlight is equipped with eight DMX control chan-
nels . It is also possible to control it via 6, 5, 4 or 3
channels only as required . DMX is the abbreviation
for Digital Multiplex and means digital control of
several DMX units via a common control line . The
functions of the channels and the DMX values are
indicated in fig . 4 .

6.3.1 DMX connection

For DMX signal transmission, special cables are
recommended (e . g . cables of the CDMXN series
from IMG STAGE LINE) . For cable lengths exceeding
(= Speed)
150 m or when controlling more than 32 units via
a single DMX output, it is generally recommended
to insert a DMX level matching amplifier (e . g . SR-
103DMX) .
1) Connect the input DMX IN (5) to the DMX out-
put of the light controller .
2) Connect the output DMX OUT (6) to the DMX
input of the following spotlight or the following
light effect unit . Connect its output again to
the input of the following DMX unit, etc . until
all DMX-controlled units have been connected
in a chain .
3) To avoid interference in signal transmission,
for long cables or for a great number of units
connected in series, terminate the DMX output
of the last DMX unit of the chain with a 120 Ω
resistor (> 0 .3 W) : Connect a corresponding
terminating plug (e . g . DLT-123 from IMG STAGE
LINE) to the DMX output jack .
