Universal DMX Control: This unit allows you to use any universal DMX-512 controller to control mirror movement, the color wheel, the gobo wheel, and the shutter (strobe). A DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs. 1. The E 136 2.0 uses four DMX channels. Channel 1 controls pan, channel 2 controls tilt, and channel 3 controls the colors, and channel 4 controls the gobos. 2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up specifications that are included with your DMX controller. Press the ESC button until “A001” is displayed. Now you can press ENTER and adjust the DMX address using the UP or DOWN buttons. When you have found your desired address press the ENTER button to set the address. 3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits. 4. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on the last fixture. 5. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX controller. Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active or Test Mode): This mode allows a single unit to run to the beat of the music. Only use this mode when running a single unit, or when running several units as individuals.
SOUND ACTIVE MODE: 1. To activate Sound Active mode, press the UP or DOWN button until “AUDI” is displayed press ENTER. Press the UP button until “ON” is displayed. If “ON” is already displayed then press ENTER. Now press the ESC button. The unit will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal microphone. 2. Adjust the audio sensitivity knob on the back of the unit to make the unit more or less sensitive to sound. Turning the sensitivity knob in the clockwise direction will increase the sensitivity, turning the knob in the counter-clockwise direction will decrease the fixture’s sensitivity to sound. 3. The optional E122/C Controller may be used with this mode to control blackout. TEST MODE: When power is supplied to the unit this is the default setting. Press ESC once to select from different modes. 1. To activate the Test mode, press the UP or DOWN button until the LCD displays “TEST”, press ENTER. It will now display “Mode 1”, press the ENTER button. 2. Now press the ESC button. The unit will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal microphone. 3. The optional E122/C Controller may be used with this mode to control blackout. Master-Slave Operation (Sound Active or Test Mode): This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together and operate without a controller. The units can be sound activate or run in a test mode. In MasterSlave operation one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave. 1. This is a very simple process. Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector is the output. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture. You do not have to assign the units Master/Slave. They will automatically fall into Master/Slave mode. 2. Use the sensitivity knob on the rear of the master unit to make it more or less sensative to sound. 3. The optional E122/C Controller may be used with in this operation for blackout.

*STROBE EFFECT: The strobe effect will only work when the Channel 4 fader is set to LAMP ON/ SPOT (DMX values 17-33). *GOBO SWITCH: The gobo switch effect will only work when the Channel 4 fader is set to Gobos’ 1-10 (DMX values 34-199). The gobo switch effect is when the gobo wheel switches back and forth from one gobo to another. You can choose the gobos that you would like the wheel to switch back and forth to, by choosing the gobo using the Channel 4 fader. The gobos DO have to be situated next to each other on the gobo wheel. EXAMPLE: Set the channel 4 fader to Gobo 3 (DMX values 68-84), then set the channel 5 fader to Gobo Switch (DMX values 16-91). Now the gobo switch will alternate between Gobos 3 and 2. The Gobo Switch will always go from the higher number gobo to the lower number gobo. Gobo 3 to Gobo 2, Gobo 7 to Gobo 6, Gobo 2 to Gobo 1, etc..... *COLOR SWITCH: The color switch effect will only work when the Channel 3 fader is set to Colors’ White - Orange (DMX values 0 - 199). The color switch effect is when the color wheel switches back and forth from one color to another. You can choose the colors that you would like the wheel to switch back and forth to, by choosing the color using the Channel 4 fader. The colors DO have to be situated next to each other on the color wheel.
