Navigating the Menu

1.Press Mode to scroll through the menu options.

2.Press Enter to select a function to modify.

3.Use the Up and Down buttons to modify the selected menu function.

Standalone Mode (Sound-Active, Auto Mode):

This mode allows a single unit to run to the beat of the music, or the unit will auto change in Auto Mode. There is an LED indicator on the rear of the fixture which will indicate this mode.

1.Use SET.A to choose the desired program.

2.Use SET.S to set the speed of the current program

3.Use SET.f to set the flash rate of the current program.

Note: when there is no sound available, then the unit will automatically switch to auto mode. To change it into auto mode when there is sound present, then simply turn the sound adjustment knob fully counter-clockwise.

Note: In the absence of DMX signal, the fixture will automatically revert to standalone mode. Plugging in a DMX cable that is connected to a DMX controller will automatically disable standalone mode and put the fixture into DMX mode.

Note: In sound-active mode, the display will read SUND.

•The unit will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal microphone in Sound Active mode, or the unit will auto change in Auto Mode.

•Use the audio sensitivity knob on the back of the unit to make the unit more or less sensitive in Sound-Active mode. Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases the sensitivity; turning the knob clockwise increases the sensitivity.

Master/Slave Mode (Master Sound, Master Auto):

This mode will allow you to link up to 32 units together without a controller. The first fixture in the daisy chain will automatically be assigned as the master, and each fixture following will be assigned as slave fixtures.

Note: for this mode, you must not connect a DMX controller to the fixtures.

Note: In sound-active mode, the display will read SUND.

1)Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your units together via the DMX connector on the rear of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture. For more information about terminators, see page 14.
