CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel only.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within the equilateral triangle is intended to alert the use or the presence of un-insulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.

The exclamation point within the equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operation and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying this appliance.

This symbol means: indoor use only

This symbol means: Read instructions

This symbol determines: the minimum distance from lighted objects. The minimum distance between light-output and the illuminated surface must be more than 1 meters

• To protect the environment, please try to recycle the packing material as much as possible.

• A new light effect sometimes causes some unwanted smoke and/or smell. This is normal and disappears after some minutes.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.

• To avoid condensation to be formed inside, allow the unit to adapt to the surrounding temperatures when bringing it into a warm room after transport. Condense sometimes prevents the unit from working at full performance or may even cause damages.

• This unit is for indoor use only.

• Don't place metal objects or spill liquid inside the unit. Electric shock or malfunction may result. If a foreign object enters the unit, immediately disconnect the mains power.

• Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.

• Don't cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.

• Prevent use in dusty environments and clean the unit regularly.

• Keep the unit away from children.

• Inexperienced persons should not operate this device.

Maximum save ambient temperature is 40^ . Don't use this unit at higher ambient temperatures.

• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.

• Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or when you start servicing.

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 1 standalone unit:

• Just insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in stand-alone mode.

Remark1: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control. Refer to "how to operate the unit" to learn how to do this.

Remark2: if there's no output, please make sure to set the unit in master mode and set the blackout mode to "NO" (see previous chapter)

Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:

• Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The first unit in the chain will automatically act as master, the other units will act automatically as slaves.
• Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
• Done!

Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the master unit if you want to have more control over the master/slave operation

Electrical installation 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 of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90 to 120 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 light effect 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.
  0~120 ohms resistor

HOW TO SET THE RIGHT STARTING ADDRESS:

Refer to the previous chapter (DMX-512 address setting) to learn how to set the starting address on this unit. The starting address of each unit is very important. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell you in this user manual which starting addresses you have to set because this completely depends on the controller you will use... So please refer to the user manual of your DMX-controller to find out which starting addresses you must set.

HOW TO OPERATE THE UNIT

Every time you turn the unit on, it will show "MS20" on the display and move all the motors to their 'home' position and you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds. After that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built-in programs.

YOU CAN OPERATE THE UNIT IN THREE WAYS:

Master/slave with built-in pre-programmed shows
With CA-8 easy controller
With universal DMX controller

- MASTER/SLAVE WITH BUILT-IN PRE-PROGRAMMED SHOWS:

Choose this function if you want an instant show. By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit controls the other units which results in an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. Its DMX input will have nothing plugged into it, and its master-LED will be constantly on and sound-LED will flash to the music.

Important! This function only works when the blackout mode in the menu of the master is set to OFF, otherwise nothing will happen! Read more about this option in the "Main Menu" paragraph.

• MASTER has 4 built-in shows: You can select (show 1), (show 2), (show 3) or (show 4) directly in the menu of the master.

• SLAVES have 2 working options: The other units are set to slave mode (slave-LED is constantly on). In order to create a great light show you can introduce contrast movements (pan/tilt of slave is inversed) In the menu of the slave units you can go to option Slfd and select:

Normal slave: slave works in sync with the master.
52 2 light show: slave works in opposite with the master.

BY EASY CONTROLLER

When used in Master/slave mode we strongly advice you to use the CA-8 "Easy controller" Just connect this small controller to the 1/4 jack of the master unit, and you will be able to control the following

FUNCTIONS:

Stand By	Blackout the unit
Function	1. Sync. Strobe 2. Two-light strobe 3. Sound Strobe	Select Show 1-4	1. Press shortly: change colors 2. Press for 1sec: change gobos
Mode	(LED OFF)	(LED blinks)	LED ON

MAINTENANCE

• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
• Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.

During inspection the following points should be checked:

• All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be corroded.
• Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation.
• When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.
• The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected.
• In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.
• The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.

• The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit's optics.

• Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.
  Always dry the parts carefully.

• Clean the external optics at least once every 30 days.
• Clean the internal optics at least every 90 days.

Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
