4) The button STAND BY (13) allows to activate /
deactivate the function Blackout . With the function
activated, the light will be off and the LED next to
the button will light up .
5) Select the operating mode with the button MODE
(15) .
a) After switching on the spotlight, the mode
SOUND 1 will be activated . The LED next to
the button MODE will not light up . When the
button FUNCTION (14) is kept pressed, a music-
dependent stroboscopic effect will be created .
Each time the button is pressed again, this effect
will change between white light, changing
coloured light (in case of several spotlights as a
short sequence of only one flash per spotlight;
with the same colour for all spotlights), and
changing coloured light with different colours
in case of several spotlights .
b) To switch to the mode MANUAL, press the but-
ton MODE once . The LED next to the button will
light up . Use the button FUNCTION to select one
of the following colours:
white, red, blue, purple, orange, green, yellow,
magenta, cyan
c) To switch to the mode SOUND 2, press the
button MODE once again . The LED next to
the button will flash slowly . A selection of five
music-controlled colour change options and se-
quences is available when the button FUNCTION
is pressed repeatedly . These options, however,
only make sense when several spotlights have
been interconnected .
d) To switch to the mode AUTO, press the button
MODE once again . The LED next to the button
will flash rapidly . In this operating mode, the
colours will change automatically by transition
from one colour to another . Any music played at
this stage will not affect this mode . A selection
of three transition speeds is available when the
button FUNCTION is pressed repeatedly .
To return to the mode SOUND 1, press the button
MODE once again .
7 Operation via a Light Controller
For operation via a light controller with DMX512
protocol (e . g . DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB by IMG
STAGELINE), the spotlight is equipped with four con-
trol channels . The functions of the channels and the
DMX values can be found in chapter 9 .1 .

7.1 Connection
For DMX signal transmission, special cables should
be used (e . g . cables of the CDMXN series from IMG
STAGELINE) . For cable lengths exceeding 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 DMX input (4) to the DMX output of
the light controller .
2) Connect the DMX output (3) to the DMX input of
the following light effect unit; connect its output
again to the input of the following unit, etc . until
all light effect units have been connected in a chain .
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX unit in
the chain with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0 .3 W): Solder
the resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of an XLR plug
and connect the plug to the DMX output or use a
corre sponding terminating plug (e . g . DLT-123 by
IMG STAGELINE) .
7.2 Adjusting the start address
For operation of the spotlight with a light controller,
adjust the DMX start address for the first DMX chan-
nel . If e . g . address 17 on the controller is provided for
controlling the colour red, adjust the start address 17
on the spotlight . The other functions of the spotlight
(green, blue, dimmer) will then automatically be as-
signed to the three following channels (in this example
18 to 20) . As the next possible start address for the
following DMX-controlled unit, address 21 could be
used in this example .
There are two methods for adjusting the address:
7.2.1 Automatic address adjustment
This method makes sense when several PARL-30SPOT
units are used for which addresses of low range are
desired:
1) Disconnect the input DMX input (4) of the first
spotlight from the controller or switch off the con-
troller so that there is no DMX signal at the input
of the spotlight .
2) Press the button DMX ADDRESS SETTING (5) on
the first spotlight for five seconds . The spotlight
and the spotlights connected to it will then be dark .
3) Reconnect the controller or switch on the controller
again .
The start address of the first spotlight is now set to 1;
the start addresses of the following spotlights to 5,
9, 13, etc .
