USB CONNECTOR: used for connecting the WTR-DMX DONGLE (order code 04645) for wireless DMX in combination with our M-DMX TRANSCEIVER (order code 04646). Don’t use this connector for connection with a PC!

10. DISPLAY: shows the various menus and the selected functions.

11. SENSITIVITY KNOB: The unit works to rhythm of the beat when used in standalone or master/slave mode. With this knob you can set the input sensitivity of the build-in microphone. 12. INTERNAL MICROPHONE: The built-in microphone is used to synchronize the show to the beat of the music. OVERHEAD RIGGING • Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety. • Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing. • Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls. • The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated. • Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s weight. • Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12 times the weight of the device when installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails. • The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered! • Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating. • The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

• Press the ENTER-button to confirm your choice. You can connect several units together. Please put the first unit of the chain in “Music or automatic mode” and all other units in “Slave mode” to make them all work in perfect sync! 4) DMX512 MODE: The projector can be controlled by any standard DMX-controller in 6 different DMX-modes. • Press the [MENU] button until the display shows [dMH] • Press the [ENTER] button • The display will show the actual DMX address • Press [ENTER] to enter the setup • Use the [UP] or [DOWN] buttons to select the DMX mode you want to use. [1Ch], [2Ch], [4Ch], [6Ch], [9Ch] or [22Ch] • Press the [ENTER] button to confirm your choice. • Use the [UP] or [DOWN] buttons to select the desired DMX address • Press the [ENTER] button to confirm the DMX address Note: the display blinks when the unit is in DMX-mode and no DMX-signal is detected. Some more information on DMX512: 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 light effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won’t work! Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the controller it has to decode.
