3. SETUP AC Power This fixture runs on 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Before powering on the unit, make sure the line voltage to which you are connecting it is within the range of accepted voltages. Always connect the fixture to a switched circuit. Never connect the fixture to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used only as a 0 to 100% switch.
Mounting Orientation The Mayhem™ may be mounted in any safe position, provided there is adequate room for ventilation. Rigging Be sure that the structure can support the weight of the fixture. Please see the “Technical Specifications” section of this manual for a detailed weight listing. Mount the fixture securely. This may be done with a screw, nut and bolt, or a hanging clamp. The hole in each bracket is 13 mm in size. When rigging, consider routine maintenance and DIP switch access.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DMX Operation This is the operating mode which will allow for control with an external DMX controller. You must set the starting address for this mode. If this is your first time using DMX, then it is recommended that you refer to the “DMX Primer” section in the “Appendix” of this manual. The fixture will automatically switch to DMX operating mode when a DMX controller is plugged into the fixture.
Standalone Operation Automatic This fixture has a preprogrammed color fade program. This is accessed via the DIP switches on the back of the fixture, and the speed may be adjusted, as well. Please see the chart below for further explanation. Mode DIP switches Master Auto 9 = On Sound-Active This fixture has preprogrammed sound triggered chases. These are accessed via the DIP switches on the back of the fixture, and the sensitivity may be adjusted using the audio adjustment knob.

5. APPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance.
Fixture Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support. Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
3-Pin to 5-Pin Conversion Chart If you use a controller with a 5-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter. The chart below details a proper cable conversion: 3-PIN TO 5-PIN CONVERSION CHART Conductor 3-Pin Female (Output) 5-Pin Male (Input) Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1 Data ( - ) signal Pin 2 Pin 2 Data ( + ) signal Pin 3 Pin 3 Not used Pin 4 Not used Pin 5 Setting up a DMX Serial Data Link Universal DMX Controller 1.
Setting the Starting Address This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a start address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that uses six DMX channels and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105.
