Mega Flash DMX™ Cleaning Instructions

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the fixture should be

carried out periodically to optimize light output.

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-

side casing every 20 days.

2. Use normal glass cleaner with a soft cloth to wipe down the inside

reflector and lens every 30-60 days.

3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the

unit back in.

4. Frequent cleaning the unit will extend lamp life and ensure the fix-

tures reliability.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture

operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy use we rec-

ommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure

longevity, and crisp beam output.

Mega Flash DMX™ DMX Set Up

Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-

age in your area matches the required voltage for your American DJ ®

Mega Flash DMX.™ The American DJ Mega Flash DMX®™ is 120v only.

Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be

sure your unit voltages matches the wall outlet voltage before attempt-

ing to operate you ﬁxture.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-

tocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures

and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from

the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that trav-

els from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR ter-

minals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA

“OUT” terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of

different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a sin-

gle controller, as long as all ﬁxtures and the controller are DMX com-

pliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several

DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order

in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the

DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1

may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end,

or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address

of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1

to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Dipswitches in DMX mode: This unit uses dipswitches to assign a

DMX address. Each dipswitch represents a binary value.

Dipswitch 1 address equals 1

Dipswitch 2 address equals 2

Dipswitch 3 address equals 4

Dipswitch 4 address equals 8

Dipswitch 5 address equals 16

Dipswitch 6 address equals 32

Dipswitch 7 address equals 64

Dipswitch 8 address equals 128

Dipswitch 9 address equals 256

Dipswitch 10 - Some units omit dipswitch 10. When a unit does

include dipswitch #10, it is usually used for special functions such as

Mega Flash DMX™ DMX Set Up

sound activation.

Assigning DMX Address: Each dipswitch has a preset value. A spe-

cific DMX address is set by combining the dipswitches that sum your

desired value. For example: To achieve a DMX address of 7, combine

dipswitches 1, 2, and 3. Since dipswitch 1 has a value of 1, dipswitch

2 has a value of 2, and dipswitch 3 has a value of 4, the combination

of the three create a DMX value of 7. (See example below).

Set DMX address 1: Set DMX address 7:

Dip-switches # 1 = 1 Dip-switches # 1 = 1

2 = 2

3 = 4

= 7

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX

and Master/Slave Operation): The Mega Flash

DMX™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol.

The Mega Flash DMX™ is a two channel DMX

unit. The DMX address is set on the side panel of

the Mega Flash DMX™ Your unit and your DMX

controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connec-

tor for data input and data output (Figure 1). If you

are making your own cables, be sure to use standard two conductor

shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all pro sound

and lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male and

female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that

DMX cable must be daisy chained and can not be split.

Notice: Be sure to follow ﬁgures two and three when making your own

cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-

nect 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 behavior.
