Can I use this blinder without a DMX controller?
Yes, in standalone mode you can use sound activation or built-in auto programs. Use the menu to select mode. The fixture responds to music via built-in microphone.
What is the maximum load for daisy chaining power?
The Retro Blinder OCTO 380 has a powerCON TRUE1 compatible connector. Do not daisy chain more than 10 fixtures on 230V supply. Always check the manual for specific ratings.

What is the strobe frequency range?
The strobe frequency can be adjusted from 1 to 25 Hz via DMX or menu. Use the Strobe channel or mode setting.
The fixture is not responding to DMX. What should I check?
