ENGLISH
 Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The first unit
in the chain will automatically act as the master, the other units will act automatically as slaves.
 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Done!
Remark: You can connect a CA-8 or RF-8 remote controller to the master unit if you want to have more
control over the master/slave operation
Remark2: if there's no output, please make sure to set the first unit in master mode and set the blackout
mode to "NO" and Sound Mode to "On" (see previous chapter)
Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-master/slave:
In this mode the units will show a synchronized show, working to the rhythm of the beat but you can still
control some functions on the master by 1 DMX-channel.
 To assure proper operation you need an optional "Mini DMX-SPLITTER" (order code: 4630) to isolate
the master/slave line from the main DMX-line, see drawing.
 Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The first unit
in the chain will act as the master, the other units will act automatically as slaves.
 Set the master to 1MSL channel mode (see previous chapter). Check the DMX-chart below to see the
difference between both channel modes.
 For the DMX-controller the master and his slaves can now be considered as 1 virtual effect that needs a
start address so it can be controlled as any other DMX-unit in the DMX chain: see "DMX Address" in the
chapter "Main Menu" to see how you can set the DMX-start address.
 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Set the DMX-controller according to the DMX-chart below.
 Done!
Remark: in order to work well to the rhythm of the music, make sure that the option "Sound Mode" on the
master is set to "On" (see previous chapter)

Electrical installation in DMX-mode:
 HOW TO SET THE RIGHT STARTING ADDRESS:
Refer to the previous chapter (DMX-512 address setting) to learn how to set the starting address on this unit.
The starting address of each unit is very important. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell you in this user
manual which starting addresses you have to set because this completely depends on the controller you will
use... So please refer to the user manual of your DMX-controller to find out which starting addresses you
must set.
OPERATE THE UNIT BY CA8 OR RF8SET
When used in standalone or master/slave mode we strongly advise you to use the CA-8
"Wired easy controller" or RF-8SET "Wireless easy controller".
 CA-8 wired remote: Connect the controller to the jack input of
the first unit (master).
 RF-8SET wireless remote: the wireless remote has two parts:
 RF-8T: small RF-transmitter that can control up to 5 effects.
 RF-8R: small RF-receiver that should be connected to the
DIN 5pin input of the projector. See the installation manual
of the receiver for more information.
Now you can control all the connected units:
Blackout Blackout the unit
1. Synchronous Strobe in full ON
Function 2. Sound Strobe in full ON
3. Sound Strobe in color(Random)
Mode LED OFF
Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-mode:
 The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to
"daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected units with a good quality balanced cable.
 Both XLR-3pin and XLR-5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular because these
cables are compatible with balanced audio cables.
Pin layout XLR-3pin:
Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)
Pin layout XLR-5pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+) ~ Pins4+5 not used.
 To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use
a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this
simply won't work!
 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows
which commands from the controller it has to decode. In the next section you will learn how to set the
DMX addresses.
