Operations:
There are 3 operating modes to choose from:
1, DMX Mode 2, Auto Run 3, Master/slave mode
DMX Mode
To select DMX mode, set dipswitches 1 and 10 to ON. You can now set the required DMX address using
dipswitches 2 to 9. The start address for this xture is 1. Please refer to the chart overleaf for DMX
functions.
Auto Run Function Mode
To select auto pattern mode, set dipswitches 7, 8 and 9 to the ON position. The unit will now cycle
through all it’s built-in patterns. In this mode the LEDs will remain constantly chasing until the power is
turned OFF or the mode is changed.
Master/Slave Mode
To select the Slave mode, set dipswitches 1 and 10 to the ON position. The slave unit/s will now run in
sequence with the master unit in the above auto run function mode.
Sound Active Function
Please note that the sound active function will work on all modes including DMX.
Dipswich Functions:
To control the unit via the dipswitches please follow the dipswitch settings below.
For Strobe set dipswitch 9 to ON and use dipswitch 1 for speed.
For Red on only use dipswitches 1 - 3 (1 = dim, 1+2= med 1, 2 + 3 = full on).
For Green on only use dipswitches 4 - 6 (4 = dim, 4+5= med 4, 5 + 6 = full on).
For Blue on only use dipswitches 7 - 8 (8 = dim, 7 + 8 = full on).
For pattern 1 set dipswitches 1, 2 + 9 to the ON position and use dipswitches 4 - 7 for speed control.
For pattern 2 set dipswitches 4 + 9 to the ON position and use dipswitches 5 - 7 for speed control.
For the fade pattern set dipswitches 1, 2 , 3 + 9 to the ON position.

Master/Slave connection
1) Connect the 3-pin (male) connector of the DMX
cable to the output 3-pin (female) connector on
the master unit
2) Now connect the opposite end of the DMX cable
to the input socket on the slave unit/s.
Proceed to connect from the output as stated above
into the following xture and so on.

DMX-512:
• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between
intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the
controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the DATA
“IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only have a data “out”
terminal).
DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
• The Equinox Predator can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of
the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input/output
(gure 1).
Figure 1
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
Further DMX cables can be purchased from
all good sound and lighting suppliers or
Prolight dealers.

Equinox Predator DMX Set up
Notice:
• Be sure to follow gures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. Do not connect the cable’s shield
conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing.
Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.
Special Note: Line termination:
• When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to
avoid erratic behaviour.
Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the possibilities of
erratic behaviour.
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:
• Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-Pin
XLR xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin
XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The Chart below details the
correct cable conversion.
Termination reduces signal transmission problems
and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a
DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between
pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.
