ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION + ADDRESSING
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
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 on the dmx units, 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 unit 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
 Do not switch the unit on and off in short time intervals as this reduces the lamp life.
 Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or before replacing the bulb and or making the
service.
 In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.
 Important: Never look directly into the light source! Don't use the effect in the presence of persons
suffering from epilepsy.
Every time you turn on the unit, it will run built-in program to reset all motors to their home position, the
display will show the Briteq logo during the startup, you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds. It will
show warning sign if one of the checks fails during the reset and you can press the MENU button to view the
error information. After that, the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal and the standard display will show
as below on the right.
