Frequently Asked Questions - DMX LED Operator 4 Eurolite

How to connect the controller to DMX devices?

Use a shielded 3-pin DMX cable. Connect the DMX output of the controller to the DMX input of the first device, then connect the devices in series. Terminate the line with a 120 Ω resistor on the last device.

How to set the DMX address of the devices?

Each device must have a unique starting address. For example, for 4 PAR LEDs: PAR 1 = 001, PAR 2 = 006, PAR 3 = 011, PAR 4 = 016. For a KLS-200, start at 021.

How to use the Select Color mode?

Press the COLOR SELECT button (green LED). Use the color buttons (Red, Orange, Yellow, etc.) to select a color. With the Up/Down buttons, select the desired fixture (PAR 1-4, KLS-200, LED Bar).

How to start an internal program?

Press PROG SELECT (yellow LED). The Prog Select fader allows you to choose the program (001-011, AUT, SOU). Adjust the speed with the Speed fader and the brightness with the Dimmer fader.

How to activate auto mode?

Press AUTO (green LED). The controller runs all programs in a loop. Adjust the speed, brightness, and flash frequency with the corresponding faders.

How to use the music control?

Press SOUND ACTIVE (red LED). The built-in microphone picks up the music. Adjust the sensitivity with the Flash/Sensitivity fader. You can also connect an audio source to the RCA input.

What is the Hold function for?

The Hold function (pause) freezes the current light state. Press the HOLD button (red LED) to activate/deactivate. Can be used in all modes.

How to turn off all lights quickly?

Press BLACKOUT (yellow LED). All DMX devices go into blackout mode (no light). Press again to return to the previous state.

Can I control a fog machine with this controller?

Yes, the Fogger button allows you to control a DMX fog machine. It must be addressed on channel 49-50 (address 049 recommended).

How to clean the controller?

Disconnect the power supply. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Never use alcohol, solvents, or abrasive products. No internal parts require maintenance.

Rear panel:

Install the unit on a plane surface or in your rack. For 483 mm rack installation (19"), 4 units (4 u) and the optional Mouting frame for LED Operator 4 (no. 70064509) are required. You can fix the unit with four screws M6 in the rack. When choosing the installation spot make sure that there is enough space around the unit for ventilation or that heated air from the rack can be passed on to improve heat dissipation. Steady overheating will damage your unit.

5.2 Sound-control

The sound-control works via the built-in microphone or RCA-input.

5.3 DMX-Connection between the devices

The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the DMX LED Operator 4 with the DMX-input of the nearest device. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.

Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (−) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

5.4 Addressing the devices

The devices to be controlled need to be assigned the DMX starting address The starting address is defined as the first channel from which the devices will respond to the controller.

Please assign the starting address to the devices as follows:

001 - LED PARCAN 1

006 - LED PARCAN 2

011 - LED PARCAN 3

016 - LED PARCAN 4

021 - LED KLS-200 RGB, also KLS-400/800/401/801/1001

036 - LED Bar RGB 252/10

049 - Smoke-machine

Now you can start operating them via your DMX LED Operator 4.
