5.2  Master /slave  mode

Synchronous operation of multiple XBEAM-410LED 
spotlights with the same show program is also 
possible without a DMX controller . The first unit 
(master) will control the other units (slaves) . Con-
nect the units in a chain according to chapter 5 .1; 
however, do not connect the DMX input of the 
master unit (fig . 5) .

6  Operation

WARNING

To prevent damage to your eyes, 
never look directly into the light 
source for any length of time .
Please note that stroboscope ef-
fects and fast changes in lighting 
may trigger epileptic seizures with 
photosensitive persons or persons 
with epilepsy!

Connect the mains cable provided to the mains 
jack (6) first, and then connect it to a socket 
(230 V/ 50 Hz) . The unit is switched on: After a reset 
(reset of the motor control), the unit will return to 
its previous operating mode . The indication on the 
display (3) will disappear a few seconds after the 
unit has been set into operation .
The settings are made via a menu using the control 
buttons (2) (refer to chapter 8) . The display indi-
cation will appear when a button is pressed and 
disappear after a few seconds when no button is 
pressed .

6.1  DMX control

For operation with a DMX controller, set the num-
ber of channels and the DMX start address:
1) Set the 

number of channels

 (7 or 14 channels) 

via the menu item 

 . The number of DMX 

channels depends on the functions required 
(refer to the table in chapter 8) and may also 
depend on the number of control channels avail-
able on the controller .

2) Set the 

DMX start address

 via the menu item 

  . For separate control of all DMX-controlled 

units, each unit must have its own start address . 
Example: If the first DMX channel of the unit is 
to be controlled by the light controller via DMX 
address 5, set the start address on the unit to 5 . 
All other DMX channels of the unit will be auto-
matically assigned to the subsequent addresses . 

Example:

 In the 7-channel mode with start address 5, 

the channels 1 to 7 are assigned to the addresses 5 
to 11 . Address 12 is the next possible start address 
available for the following DMX-controlled unit .

When the number of channels and the start ad-
dress have been set, the unit can be operated via 
the DMX controller . A dot keeps permanently flash-
ing on the display to indicate that the unit is in the 
“DMX control” mode and that a DMX signal is 
available at the DMX input .
When a DMX signal is applied, the unit will not 
automatically go to “DMX control” . To go to “DMX 
control” from a different operating mode, call up 
the menu item for the start address or the number 
of channels and confirm the setting .

6.2  Operation without DMX controller
