cables are compatible with balanced audio cables.
Pin layout XLR-3pin:
Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)
Pin layout XLR-5pin:
Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal
(+) ~ Pins4+5 not used.
To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use
a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this
simply won't work!
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands
from the controller it has to decode. In the next section you will learn how to set the DMX addresses.
HOW TO SET THE THE RIGHT STARTING ADDRESS:
Refer to the previous chapter (DMX-512 address setting) to learn how to set the starting address on this unit.
The starting address of each unit is very important. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell you in this user
manual which starting addresses you have to set because this completely depends on the controller you will
use... So please refer to the user manual of your DMX-controller to find out which starting addresses you
must set.
DMX-CONFIGURATION OF ORION:
1 CHANNEL MODE
What are patterns?
Patterns are different static (non moving) combinations of LEDs on a LED-cluster.
When the value of CH1 is set between 000 and 119, you can use CH2 to select 25 different patterns.
Use CH3 to change the strobe frequency of the selected patterns.

What are chases?
Chases are a series of patterns put in a loop to create dynamic (moving) effects.
When the value of CH1 is set between 120 and 239, you can use CH2 to select 25 different chases.
Use CH3 to change the speed of the selected chases.
Three DMX-modes are available: 1CH, 4CH and 7CH mode:
1 channel mode:
Extremely user friendly mode: you only need 1 DMX channel to choose 1 of the 11 preprogrammed
sound chases or you can use our Effect commander to switch the unit ON/OFF (no switch pack needed).
4 channel mode:
Saves DMX-channels on your controller but all LED clusters react identically.
Channel 1: mode selection (pattern, chase, stand-alone)
Channel 2: select patterns or chases.
Channel 3: strobe speed (pattern mode) or chase speed (chase mode)
Channel 4: general dimmer
7 channel mode:
Uses more DMX-channels on your controller but all LED clusters can be controlled individually so you
have total control!
Channel 1: mode selection (pattern, chase, stand-alone)
Channel 2-5: select a different pattern or chase for each of the 4 LED-clusters:
o Channel 2: LED cluster 1
o Channel 3: LED cluster 2
o Channel 4: LED cluster 3
o Channel 5: LED cluster 4
Channel 6: strobe speed (pattern mode) or chase speed (chase mode)
Channel 7: general dimmer
HOW TO OPERATE THE UNIT
Every time you turn the unit on, it will show L747 on the display
YOU CAN OPERATE THE UNIT IN 3 WAYS:
BY MASTER/SLAVE BUILT-IN PREPROGRAM FUNCTION:
Select this function when you want an instant show. By linking the units in master/slave connection, the
first unit will control the other units to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. Its DMX
input will have nothing plugged into it, and its master-LED will be constantly on and sound-LED will flash to
the music.
Important! This function only works when the blackout mode in the menu of the master is set to
OFF, otherwise nothing will happen! Read more about this option in the "How to setup" paragraph.
MASTER has 12 built-in shows: You can select
directly in the menu of the master.
SLAVES have 2 working options: These units are set to slave mode (slave-LED is constantly on). In
order to create a great light show you can introduce contrast movements In the menu of the slave
units you can go to option
