Pin layout XLR-5pin:
Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+) ~ Pins4+5 not used.
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!
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows
which commands from the controller it has to decode. In the next section you will
learn how to set the DMX addresses.
HOW TO SET THE RIGHT STARTING ADDRESS:
Refer to the previous chapter (DMX-512 address setting) to learn how to set the starting address on this unit.
The starting address of each unit is very important. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell you in this user
manual which starting addresses you have to set because this completely depends on the controller you will
use... So please refer to the user manual of your DMX-controller to find out which starting addresses you
must set.

ENGLISH
OPERATE THE UNIT BY CA8 OR RF8SET
When used in standalone or master/slave mode we strongly advise you to use the CA-8 "Wired easy
controller" or RF-8SET "Wireless easy controller".
CA-8 wired remote: Connect the controller to the jack input of the first unit (master).
RF-8SET wireless remote: the wireless remote has two parts:
RF-8T: small RF-transmitter that can control up to 5 effects.
RF-8R: small RF-receiver that should be connected to the DIN 5pin input of
the SIRIUS. See the installation manual of the receiver for more information.
Now you can control all the connected units:
STANDBY BUTTON:
Press this button to start/stop blackout mode on all connected units.
MODE/FUNCTION BUTTONS:
With the MODE button you can select 3 different modes:
The LED is off: with the FUNCTION button you can select different
strobe modes, like "sound strobe".
The LED is blinking: with the FUNCTION button you can select
different shows.
The LED is on: (music mode is temporarily switched off)
Press the FUNCTION button shortly: to change the colors
Press the FUNCTION button longer: to change the gobos
MAINTENANCE
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit is cooled down.
During inspection the following points should be checked:
All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be
corroded.
Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any
deformation.
When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.
The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a
small problem is detected.
In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be
cleaned monthly.
The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit's optics.
Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least once every 30 days.
Clean the internal optics at least every 90 days.
Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
