Music-trigger uses a built in microphone for sound-activated control and autotrigger runs at a preset speed using an internal trig source. 1 Use the DIP-switch on the rear panel to select a trigger type. To select musictrigger, set DIP-switch pins 1, 2, and 10 to ON. To select auto-trigger, set DIPswitch pins 2 and 10 to ON. Set all other pins to OFF.

CONNECTING THE SERIAL DATA LINK The RoboColor Pro 400’s XLR connections are configured for Martin protocol controllers, that is, the data sockets are wired with pin 2 to hot (+) and pin 3 to cold (-). When connecting a RoboColor Pro 400 to a DMX device (pin 2 cold and pin 3 hot), you must swap pins 2 and 3 with a phase-reversing cable.

User.fm Page 9 Monday, April 17, 2000 11:22 AM ADDRESS SETTING The DIP-switch on the rear panel is used to select the control address on which the RoboColor Pro 400 responds to the controller. The control address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to receive instructions from the controller. For independent control, each fixture must have a unique control address and nonoverlapping control channels. The total number of channels required depends on the operation mode.
