SETUP Lamp You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. Either three GLC or GKV 575W halogen lamps are included. Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement. Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp with alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
Power Your product is equipped with switch-selectable AC power setting. Warning! Slide switch up or down depending on your line voltage. Verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the line voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground. • • • • • To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Operating Modes The TFX-64CM can be operated in three ways. • • • A stand-alone mode will listen to sound and run through its diverse range of built in programs. An optional TFX-SWF wired controller provides simple remote control. Master/Slave mode will allow the command of up to as many units you want in a synchronized light show to the sound. DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity.
Master/Slave The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link up to as many units you want in a daisy chain fashion. In this mode, the first unit in the daisy chain will automatically command all other units following. An optional TFX-SWF controller connected to the first unit in the chain will allow enhanced control functions. MASTER /SLAVE SETTIN GS 1) Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the first fixture.
RGB&D MOD E All three lamps are individually dimmable giving the user the ability to customize or create the color of choice. This mode offers the user complete freedom. Channel Function 1 Red 2 Green 3 Blue 4 Dimmer 1) A steady hold of the MODE button will change the operating mode once then release the button. 2) Repeat step 1 until you arrive at the RGB&D operating mode, as indicated by the led next to the label.
TFX-SWF Easy Controller (Optional) The TFX-SWF Foot Controller is used only in master/slave mode. Connect the 8-pin connector of the foot controller into its respective connector on the first unit in the daisy chain. The table below describes the functions of the TFX-SWF Controller.
APPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX 512 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.
