How to get started 

1.

 

Manually feed mains power to the unit and roll-on a secured track using mode 2 from the right side or mode 4 
for from the left side (seen form the connections). 

2.

 

Apply DMX from a Lighting desk, ideally a desk with manual faders. 

3.

 

Make sure that your six channels are patched from DMX channel 1 to 6. 

4.

 

Pull all channels on to 0% 

5.

 

Apply power to the track and link the wireless DMX units by pressing (short push<½s) the LINK SW on both 
transmitter and receiver within 10s 

 

RF LINK, LINKED, STATUS(STAT) and DMX lamp should be lit when connected 

after the 10s (timeout of wireless search function)

 or use the hard wiring through a cable carrier.

 

6.

 

Set DMX channel 6 to 53% - 

This enables the saving of soft-limit left and right position.

 

7.

 

Pull channel 4 to 20 % -- the unit starts moving reverse (left).

 

8.

 

Stop the unit (pull channel 4 to 0%) when the desired LEFT end position is reached.

 

9.

 

Pull channel 5 to 20 % -- the unit starts moving forward (right).

 

10.

 

Stop the unit (pull channel 5 to 0%) when the desired RIGHT end position is reached.

 

11.

 

Pull channel 1 (position) to 75 % 

12.

 

Pull channel 3 (speed) to 50% - 

The unit start to move reverse, with 50% speed, to a position that is 75%.

 

13.

 

Pull channel 1 (position) to 25% - T

he unit starts to move forward, with 50% speed, to a position that is 25%
