There is an additional DMX address (000) that acts as a test channel for the LED outputs.

The DMX Controller has a built-in “lock out” function that will automatically save the current
settings should there be a power outage. The settings will only save once the controller
has locked out, which takes approximately five seconds. It will then return to the last saved
settings on startup.
Matchstix Cables and Splitters
Cineo Matchstix use a 2-conductor, 26AWG cable with 5.5mm x 2mm coax female connector
to mate with the lamphead. Lampheads are typically supplied with 12 feet (4m) cables,
although shorter lengths are available friom Cineo, LiteGear or other suppliers. Cineo and
LiteGear also supply specialized cables for connecting Matchstix to automobile power ports
and D-Tap connectors commonly found on camera batteries.
Maximum cable length between lamphead and power supply or dimmer should not exceed 25
feet (6.4m).
Output of power supplies and dimmers can be split into 2 or 4 outputs to allow multiple
Matchstix on a single circuit or DMX channel.
Keep in mind that when using splitters the total load is calculated by adding all the Matchstix
on a single circuit, and that the use of splitters does not increase the capacity of the available
current.
Remote Phosphor Panels
Color temperature (CCT) for the Matchstix fixtures is changed by replacing the remote
phosphor panels on the front of the lamphead. The CCT is clearly labeled on the respective
panels.
To change color temperatures:
1. Remove power to the lamphead
before removing the end cap.
This will assure that the LEDs do
not ignite while panels are being
exchanged.
2. Loosen the two captive
thumbscrews located on the end
cap with the power connector and
remove the end cap.
3. Remove panels and replace with panels correlating to the desired CCT, making sure that the
panels are well-seated in the slot in the opposite endcap. Panels should always be inserted
with the glossy side out.
4. Avoid touching LEDs and the white reflective material.
5. Re-attach endcap. NOTE: Please make sure that thumbscrews are securely fastened but
not overly-tightened.
Although no harmful UV emanates from the fixture, Matchstix should only be used with the
remote phosphor panels in place. Although the panels are extremely durable, avoid exposing
them to abrasive surfaces. Please reference the Cineo Matchstix catalogue for available color
temperature options.
