[. . . ] `t Hofveld 2 ~ B1702 Groot-Bijgaarden ~ Belgium Reproduction or publication of the content in any manner, without express permission of the publisher, is prohibited. Dispose of the unit and used batteries in an environment friendly manner according to your country regulations. To take full advantage of all possibilities, please read these operating instructions very carefully. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover. [. . . ] DMX IN: normally not used BUT you can connect an external DMX-controller. As soon as a DMX-signal is detected on this input, this DMX-signal takes precedence of the outputs generated by the LED Director. This means that an external DMX-controller can automatically take over the control over the fixtures connected to the DMX-outputs. You can even determine starting from which address the incoming DMX-channels should be routed to the outputs (see item 5 in the chapter "setup menu"). DMX THROUGH: This is an exact copy of the DMX input (17) and is used to daisy chain the LED Director in a big installation. The LED fixtures can be connected to the LED Director in two ways: STAR CONFIGURATION The 6 DMX-outputs (15) are used and the connected LED fixtures all have start address 001. 1A and 1B on the drawing) on one output but all should have the same start address 001. All LED fixtures receive their own start address, (see n°16 in the previous chapter) depending on which of the 6 channels you want to assign them to. The setup menu is used to configure the LED Director and perform some less used functions. The menu contains 11 sections that are fully explained below: 1/ SET DATE Use the dial (14) to select "SET DATE" and press the ENTER button (13) the display shows the current date.

Use the dial (14) to select "SET CLOCK" and press the ENTER button (13) the display shows "CLOCK SET: SUN". 5/ CHASE BY TIME This option determines how the parameters "fade time" and "wait time" influence the timing of the programmed chase during playback. We suggest to think about this before you start programming the chases, since it influences the final result a lot. Two options are available: RUN TIME BY CHASE: This is the easiest method but with less possibilities. [. . . ] When you switch the mains on again, the LED Director runs the last used program immediately!There are 3 running modes: AUTOMATIC MODE: Press the CHASE button (5) and use the dial (14) to select one of the chases: If a chase is empty, the display shows "NO SCENE" choose another chase . If a chase contains scenes, the display shows "AUTO" while the chase starts running. Note: fade & wait times can only be adapted if you selected "RUN TIME BY CHASE" in the setup menu (see item 5 in the chapter "setup menu") MANUAL MODE: First select one of the chases as described for the automatic mode.
