ELECTRICAL INSTAL 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 (see previouschapter)
Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:
Daisy chain the units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. Put the first unit of the
chain in master mode, the rest must be set to slave mode. See the previous chapter for more
information.
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 (+)

not used.
To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a
90
Ω
to 120
Ω
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.
DMX-CONFIGURATION OF THE LED COLOR BANK:
U can control the Led Color Bank by 6, 9, 15, 27 or 24 DMX channels
