Insert the end in the carabiner and tighten the safety screw.
DMX-512 control connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin or5-pin
XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male
3-pin or5-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain
multiple Moving Head together through serial linking. The
cable needed should be two core, screened cable with XLR
input and output connectors. Please refer to the following
diagram.

DMX-512 connection with DMX
terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long
distance or is in an electrically noisy environment, such as in
a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator.
This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal
by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug
with a 120 Ohms resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,
which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last
fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.

Led Moving Head DMX starting
address selection
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when
using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture responds to
the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the
channel number from which the fixture starts to "listen" to the
digital control information sent out from the DMX controller.
The allocation of this starting address is achieved by setting

the correct number on the display located on the base of the
device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a
group of fixtures, or make different address for each fixture
individually.
If you set the same address, all the units will start to "listen"
to the same control signal from the same channel number. In
other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect
all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to "listen"
to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity
of control channels of the unit. That means changing the
settings of one channel will affect only the selected fixture.
In the case of the Moving head, which is a 24 channel fixture,
you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the
second unit to 25 (24 + 1), the third unit to 49 (24+ 25), and
so on.
Operating instructions of the internal
DMX wireless system
1. Equipments:
DMX 512 controller, wireless transmitter, and the fixtures with
wireless receiver.
2. Message from the LED indicator:
1) Rapid flashing red/Green: logging in to a transmitter
2) Slow flashing Red/Green: Logged on a transmitter and
the DMX line is idle (No DMX is connected to transmitter).
3) Solid Green: Logged on to a transmitter and receiving
DMX data.
4) Solid Red: Not logged on to a transmitter (free)
3. WDMX in the menu of the fixture:
On a fixture installed with wireless system, in order to switch
between wireless control system and traditional DMX control
(with cable), a new menu WDMX is added to the display
board.
ON: (Activate WDMX)
When the fixture is power ON, and the WDMX is activated
to ON status, but did not connect to the controller and did
not log in to the transmitter, the fixture will search for the
DMX signal source. If the fixture is connected to the DMX
controller it can be controlled by DMX controller; if it is log
in to the wireless transmitter, it can be controlled by the
Transmitter.
When the fixture is power OFF, and the WDMX is in ON
status, if the fixture is connected to DMX controller. After
the fixture is power on, it can be controlled only by the
DMX controller which connected. The fixture can log in
the wireless transmitter, and receive only radio signal from
transmitter, but not DMX from the transmitter.
