Frequently Asked Questions - DJ LED251 Karma

How do I set the DJ LED251 to sound activation mode?

Press the 'Mode' button repeatedly until 'Snd' appears on the display. The fixture will then react to audio via its built-in microphone.

What is the DMX channel configuration for this fixture?

The DJ LED251 operates in 4-channel mode (basic RGB control) or 7-channel mode (advanced with dimmer, strobe, etc.). Use the DMX settings menu to select.

Can I mount the fixture upside down?

Yes, the fixture has a mounting bracket that allows hanging upside down. Ensure the safety chain is attached securely.

How do I clean the lens?

Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the lens. Do not use any liquid cleaners as they may damage the LED coating.

What power cord does the DJ LED251 use?

It uses a standard IEC C13 power cord (e.g., computer power cable). The input voltage is 100-240V AC.

Why is the fixture not responding to DMX?

Check that the DMX address is correctly set and that the cable is not faulty. Ensure the controller is on the same DMX universe.

WARNING

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT OPEN

WARNING: to reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover. No serviceable parts for the user inside. For servicing refer to qualified personnel.

This symbol alerts you of the presence of important operating and maintenance instructions, in the manual or in the documentation accompanying the product

This symbol indicates a risk of electric shock in case of wrong use or alteration of the product.

The CE mark indicates that this product complies with the applicable European directives and their related standards. Compliance documentation in complete form is available at the company Karma Italiana Srl

Directive 2012/19/UE regarding electric and electronic equipment waste (WEEE).

The symbol of the crossed-out dustbin indicates that the product at the end of its life must be collected separately from other waste. The user must, therefore, confer the fixture complete with all the essential components to an authorized disposal center for collection of electronic and electrical waste, or return it to the dealer when buying new equipment of equivalent type, at a rate of one to one, or one to zero if external dimension is less than 25cm. Appropriate separate collection to send the decommissioned equipment to recycling, treatment and environmentally compatible disposal helps to prevent negative impact on the environment and human health and promotes recycling of the materials making up the product. In Italy illegal dumping of the product by the user entails the application of administrative sanctions pursuant to Legislative Decree n. 49 (14/03/2014).

The product's remote control is powered by a battery which, according to the European Directive 2013/56/EU, cannot be disposed of with normal household waste. Please inquire about the local regulations regarding the separate collection of batteries: a correct disposal allows to avoid negative consequences for the environment and health.

• For all intents and porpuses the warranty is effective only upon exhibition of the invoice or of the purchase receipt.
• If you send the product for repair, it must be shipped with complete original packaging: we therefore recommend to save it.

We also suggest to register your product on our website www.karmaitaliana.it, after signing in to access the reserved area. In this way you will have the possibility to keep track of the warranty validity and to receive updates on our items.

The product you have purchased includes a ball effect (4) and a wash + strobe effect (3) capable of producing a myriad of colourful rays, which will stand out if the fixture is used in combination with a smoke machine.

POSITIONING

This light effect can be placed on a surface or hung on stands by means of the bracket (1). Use the knobs (2) to lock it with the correct tilting. To better fasten the fixture you can use a safety cable, which can be fixed on the ring (6).

On the back it features a cooling fan (10). Take care that it is not covered or obstructed and keep it clean, removing dust, so that it can work properly.

OPERATION

To turn on the fixture connect the cable to the back socket (8) and then insert the plug into an electrical power outlet.

If the fixture doesn't turn on, disconnect the power cable, extract the fuse (9) and check if it is good. If it is blown replace it with one of the same rating.

The light effect can operate in auto mode, sound activated mode (thanks to the built-in microphone), manual mode (by means of the included remote control) or connected to a professional DMX 512 system.

If you mean to connect it to a DMX system with an external controller, you have to connect the input XLR cable to the DMX IN (11) socket and the output XLR cable to the socket DMX OUT (7). In this way the DMX signal will be transmitted from a fixture to another. On next page you will find some basic instructions on DMX operating mode.

If no controller is connected, it is possible to arrange a cascade connection of several fixtures, so that they perform the same effect. The first unit will operate as a master and the others will be slave (on the units you have to set the address d001).

DISPLAY CONTROLS

Under the display (5) there are 4 buttons allowing to select an option from the menu, change its value and confirm the choice.

The 4 buttons are:

Menu: It lists the menu main options.

UP: To skip to the next option or value

DOWN: To skip to the previous option or value

ENTER: To confirm your choice

The below diagram indicates the menu options and the corresponding functions.

INTRODUCTION TO DMX CONNECTION

In a DMX 512 connection there are 512 available channels. Each DMX fixture uses one or more channels to manage its functions. The user must assign a starting address to each DMX fixture connected to the system. This address will indicate the first channel used by the controller. You have to plan the starting address choice in order to avoid the channels' overlapping. Otherwise the fixture wouldn't work correctly.

Example: If you need to connect 3 DMX fixtures, each with 10 channels, the first unit is to be set on address 1, the second unit on address 11 and the third one on address 21. Anyway you can set the same starting address on more devices if you wish them to operate in synchrony. DMX devices are conceived to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain connection. With this kind of connection the data output of a fixture is connected to the data input of the following one. The connection order of the devices is not important and it doesn't affect on how the controller interacts with each of them. We suggest to put them in the easiest and most direct sequence for cable connection. The signal cable length should not be more than 100 m to avoid interferences with other signals or electric devices. To set the address you want to assign to the fixture (from 001 to 512), press the MENU key until the display shows the symbol "d". Then, by means of the UP and DOWN keys, set the address and confirm with ENTER.

To operate correctly with DMX systems it is necessary to know the number of channels available on each connected fixture and the function of these channels.

This fixture operates with 12 channels.

The below chart shows the functions related to each channel in DMX mode.

Before using the fixture it would be advisable to take a specific course on DMX systems for full understanding of its potential and functions.
