4. Operating Instructions
Operating Modes
A stand-alone mode will allow the user to set the desired speed and intensity.
Master/Slave output provides for unison triggering of chained strobes.
DMX-512 control protocol allows remote control of the fixture via a universal DMX controller.
Stand Alone
The Stand Alone mode is activated automatically when the fixture is absent of a CH-751, SC-1000M
or a DMX controller. Note! All dipswitches
must be set to the OFF position. The
strobe speed and strobe intensity can be
adjusted and they are located on the side
of the fixture. The strobe will continue to
operate at the user set levels until it is
turned off. Upon turning the strobe back on
the unit will continue in the previously set levels.
Unison Strobe (Master/Slave)
The Unison strobe mode will allow you to link additional units in a daisy chain fashion. Simply,
connect each fixture in a daisy like fashion using certified DMX XLR cable. Be sure that all DMX
dipswitches are set to the OFF position.
DMX Control Mode
In this mode the user can control the strobe light remotely. Both the intensity and the flash rate can be
programmed as part of a scene or a cue. To blackout the unit entirely it requires both intensity and
flash rate to be at 0 levels.
1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector
of the controller.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the controller which will have a (female) 3 pin connector
to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector.
3. Then, proceed to connect from the DMX output as stated above to the DMX input of the following
fixture and so on.
4. If you need help setting the DMX address read the section titled “Setting the DMX address” in this
Chapter.
