technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.

• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the
installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not
attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result
in injuries.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.

• Replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating (see “Technical Specifications”):
1. Remove the fuse holder using a flat-head screwdriver.
2. Remove the old fuse and install a new one.
3. Replace the fuse holder.
6. Use
Stand-Alone Operation
In stand-alone operation, the device can be used without a controller. A single unit will react to the
surrounding sounds through the built-in microphone. Set all DIP switches to OFF. Use the adjustment
knob at the back of the unit to adjust the sensitivity.
Master/Slave Operation
The master/slave operation enables several devices to be controlled synchronically by the master unit.
Interconnect all units using XLR cables. Set all DIP switches on the master unit to OFF; set DIP switches
1 and 10 on the slave units to ON. All slave units will follow the master unit’s pattern.
7. DMX Mode
The DMX mode allows you to control the unit through a universal DMX controller. Set DIP switch 10 to
ON to activate the DMX mode, set the DMX address using DIP switches 1 to 9.
