Button 1:

1. pressed: effect 1 (normal colour change)
2. pressed: effect 5: „LSD“

Button 2:

1. pressed: effect 2 (Soft colour change)
2. pressed: effect 6: Fire  „Fire“

Button 3:

1. pressed: effect 3: „Blob“
2. pressed: effect 7: Lightnings  „Flash“

Button 4:

1. pressed: effect 4: User colour change
2. pressed: effect 8: „Burst“

Important: Shutdown: if any button is pressed longer than abt. 3 seconds, all modules are switched of,
any further button will start its assigned effects,

The DIP-Switches - Default-Effects

Some  settings  (i.e.  the  default  effect  after  reset  or  power  on)  can  be  preset  with  the  internal  DIP
switches. For this the case of the module must be opened (see attachment).

Important: Please do not touch any of the electronic components, because off the risk of damage by
electrostatic  discharge.  We  recommend  to  use  a  small  non-conductive  tool  to  change  the  DIP
switches.

The switches are separated in 3 groups (as imprinted):

DIP 1,2: These two switches control hold time for effects 1 snd 2 (colour changes):

Effect 8: Randomly coloured flashes („Burst“)

DIP 6,7,8 determine the „Group“ of a module. Because the modules can be connected as a network, it
should be possible to send command only to a part of the network too. This is what we call a „Group“.
In  example  if  several  modules  are  used  for  a  pool  illumination  (ceiling,  walls  under-water),  these
modules could be separated into three groups. Now it possible to send command i.e. only to modules
on the ceiling. More information can be found in the following paragraph „A Pool Scenario“..

Another  important  use  of  the  Groups  is  the  starting  colour  for  the  preprogrammed  colour  changes
after power on or reset: To achieve impressive effects - even without using a network or PC software -
the Groups can be used. Seven different starting colours are available:
