How to set the DMX addresses:
There are 2 ways to set the DMX-address of the units.
A. Setting individual DMX-addresses per projector:
 Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected.
 Connect the first unit to a universal DMX controller.
 Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.
 Set all DMX-channels on your DMX-controller to zero
(value 000).
 Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-
start address on you projector, to maximum (value 255)
 Press the "Auto DMX address" button (F) on the projector
shortly.
 If you want to set another projector to the same DMX-
start address, simply press it's "Auto DMX address"
button (F) and it will receive the same address.
 Done!
An example to make things clear:
We will set the DMX start address of a projector to 106:
 Connect the projector to the DMX-controller as described above and make sure all is switched
on.
 Set all DMX-channels on the controller to zero (000)
 Now set DMX-channel 106 to maximum (255)
 Press the "Auto DMX address" button (F) on the projector shortly.
 Done!  Your projector now has DMX address 106!
B. Automatic DMX-addressing, starting from any given start address:
To save a lot of time (imagine the time it takes to set the DIP
switches of 16 units...) you can set the DMX addresses of all
units in the DMX-chain just by the push of a button. No need
to calculate the starting address of each individual unit, this
will be done for you!
 Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected.
 Connect the first unit to a universal DMX controller.
 Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.
 Set all DMX-channels on your DMX-controller to zero
(value 000).
 Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-
start address on you projector, to maximum (value 255)
 Press the "Auto DMX address" button (F) on the first projector in the chain for about 5seconds.
 Done!  The first projector in the chain will receive the DMX-start address you chose and it will
automatically calculate and program the DMX addresses of all the other units in the DMX-chain!
An example to make things clear:
We want to set the DMX-addresses of 16 units, the DMX start address of the first projector must
be 202:
 Connect all projectors to the DMX-controller as described above and make sure all are switched
on.
 Set all DMX-channels on the controller to zero (000)
 Now set DMX-channel 202 to maximum (255)
 Press the "Auto DMX address" button (F) on the first projector in the chain for about 5seconds.
 Done!  The first projector in the chain will receive DMX-start address 202 and it will
automatically calculate and program the DMX addresses of all the other units in the DMX-chain!
nd
This means that the 2 projector automatically receives address 206, the 3
th
..., until the 16 projector who automatically receives start address 262.
You just programmed 16 projectors, this took you about 10seconds!!!
Remark: you can mix the units with other DMX-effects that don't have the automatic DMX-
addressing option. In that case you still have to set the DMX-addresses of these DMX-effects
manually!

OVERHEAD RIGGING

 Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
 Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
 The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
 Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device's
weight.
 Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
 The device should be well fixed.
 The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
 3 different fixing methods are possible:
 Fixed to ceiling or truss (1m chain included)
 Wall fixing (optional wall adapter available)
 Pole mount (optional adapter for poles up to D=60mm available)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. Standalone 1unit:
 Just connect the unit to the mains and put on some music. The unit will start working automatically to
the rhythm of the music.
Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control.
B. Two or more units in master/slave setup:
 Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together. Refer to the chapter "electrical installation" to learn how to
do this (don't forget to address all units properly!)
 Connect all units to the mains and put on some music. The units will start working automatically to the
rhythm of the music and show the internal chase programs.
Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the master unit if you want to have more control
over the master/slave operation.
