Setting up the unit
To activate the unit, connect the appropriate included power cable to the unit and to a suitable 230V, 50Hz
power outlet.
During start-up, the stepping motors and other parts of the fixture need to calibrate. It may be possible that
you notice some sha ing and rattling of the fixture; this is perfectly normal if this ta es no longer than 30
seconds. During start-up the display reads 'Ayra ERO 704' and the fixture cannot be used. Do not try to enter
the menu during start-up. When the start-up is complete, the last used mode will be shown and the settings
and values can be changed. For a new product, this is usually the DMX mode with the value set to 001
Through the menu and the buttons below the display, you are able to adjust settings and read data from the
fixture.
Use the display and the menu buttons on the bottom to set preferences, change settings and scroll through
the menu. “Enter” is used to save a certain setting or preset; press “Menu” for at least 2 seconds to return to
the main menu.

the fixture will respond to values corresponding with the number of channels that the fixture is occupying.
(For example, when you set the starting address to value 003, the fixture will respond to channels 3, 4, 5
etc.)
Channel mode: The channel mode of the fixture ma es it possible to use the correct channel mode setting
for every application. For simple and basic setups, users may prefer to use the 9 CH mode. For advanced
setups, users may prefer to choose the 11CH mode to be able to control the colour of every pixel.
Show mode: Select one of the 4 built-in shows for the music controlled mode. Please note that the Sound
State needs to be activated for this function to be used effectively.
AutoRun mode: Select one of the 4 built-in shows and select an operating speed for the show. The user can
choose from speeds 1 through 9, where 1 is slow and 9 is fast. During low speed operation, movements will
change as fluently as possible.
Slave mode: Select the right operation for the fixture. The usual mode is the master mode. If you select
Slave mode 1 or 2 (2 is partially reversed in music controlled mode), the fixture only listens to a signal
provided by the master fixture.
To use the master-slave mode, connect two ERO 704 fixtures together with standard 3P XLR male – 3P XLR
female cable (not included). Connect the DMX output of the master to the DMX input of the slave function.
Regardless of the mode selected on the master fixture (AutoRun, Sound controlled), the slave will mimic the
actions.
It is possible to invert the pan or tilt value of the slave, which ma es wonderful synchronized or mirrored
performances possible without having to use a controller.
NOTE: Please note that it is not possible to switch to any wor ing mode if the Slave mode is active on your
fixture!
Bla k out: Choose what the fixture will do during DMX signal loss. For theatrical applications, most users
choose to let the fixture switch to Blac out, where all values are set to 0 and there is no light output until the
signal comes bac .
For disco applications, most users might want to activate the last chosen mode if the last signal is lost. This
can be the AutoRun mode or the music controlled mode.
Sound state: The sound state shows if the built-in microphone of the unit is active or not. It can be enabled
or disabled in the menu.
Sound sense: The sensitivity of the built-in microphone is adjustable, in order to optimise the built-in sound-
controlled mode. For example, when your music source (spea ers) is placed far away, it is possible to
increase the sensitivity to ma e sure that the fixture responds to the sound accurately.
White balan e: Colour balance. For theatrical applications, users may want to change the colour balance of
the bar so it is more similar to the colours of other lighting fixtures. With this mode, the maximum intensity for
each basic colour (red, green, blue) can be limited from values 50 to 255. When this mode is selected, use
the up and down buttons to scroll between the basic colours, and press enter to see the current values.
Adjust values with the up and down buttons and press enter to store changes. The default setting is 255 for
each basic colour.
Ba klight: LED display on/off. When using this device in a club or theatre, the environment is mostly dar .
Therefore, it is possible to shut off the LED menu display when it is not in use. The default setting is ON,
which means that the LED display remains on all the time.
Auto test: When this mode is selected, the unit will perform pan and tilt movements to test the stepping
motors. After this, the LEDs are tested to see if there are any bro en LEDs. The process continues until the
process is disabled manually via the menu display.
Temp he k: Chec the temperature of the fixture if anything is wrong or if you are interested in the current

temperature levels of the fixture. The temperature of the head and body is measured and displayed in
Celsius. Use the up and down buttons to switch between the head and body temperature display.
Fan speed: The fan speed of the fixture can be changed by users, which enables them to use the fixtures for
any purpose. For example, for normal use the auto mode can be used to regulate the fan speed
automatically. When the temperature of head and body increases, the fan speed will be increased.
Fan noises are, however, undesireable for theatrical applications. As such, if you are only going to use the
fixtures for single or mixed colour use and not continuously on full performance/output, it is possible to switch
off the internal fans. By eeping the internal temperature chec active, you can preserve the lifespan of your
fixture.
When using the fixtures installed in night clubs (where the temperature near the roof can be quite high) it is
recommended to select the auto speed or the medium/high speed selection. This way you are ensured that
the internal components are being cooled sufficiently and that there will be no damage to your products on a
long-term basis.
Fixture time:
Service intervals are primarily used by companies who hire products for all inds of purposes and users who
use the fixtures frequently. So after a particular number of hours, the fixture is brought in for service, to chec
if all components are in good shape and to fix any problems. This function displays the number of hours that
the product has been used.
Firmware version:
Displays the firmware version that is installed on the PCB. Users can not upload new firmware to this fixture.
Reset:
Resets the fixture without requiring you to remove the power cables or switch the product off.

Operating modes
The ERO 704 offers various operating modes, each with its own advantages. For simple events there are
stand-alone modes, and for advanced situations it's possible to create synchronised light shows. You can
also control every feature of the ERO 704 via DMX in two channel modes. A short description for each mode
can be found below:
AutoRun:
Automatic light show with a pre-programmed internal show on a pre-defined speed. Use the AutoRun modes
to activate the programs and set the speed. The speed of the internal programs can be adjusted from 0 to 9.
Sound:
Automatic light show with a pre-programmed internal show in sync with the music, than s to an internal
microphone that pic s up the beat of the music and changes a step every time a beat is detected. Use the
Sound Sense mode to change the sensitivity of the internal microphone so it will respond optimally to the beat
of the music. In this mode, any set function in the AutoRun mode is overruled, and the fixture will change
effects in sync with the beat of the music.
Slave:
In master/slave mode, it is possible to lin several ERO 704 fixtures together, to create synchronised light
shows in the AutoRun or Sound mode. The first fixture in the chain must be set in the Auto or Music mode,
and the other fixtures must be set to Slave, so they will mimic the behaviour of the first fixture. The
master/slave function requires 3p XLR male – XLR female cables (not included). Connect the DMX out of the
master fixture to the DMX input of the second (and other slave) fixtures. You can also experiment with
inverting pan and tilt values to create amazing mirrored light shows.
DMX:
The ERO 704 can be connected to a DMX controller with standard 3p XLR male – XLR female cable. In DMX
mode, a DMX terminator must be connected to the last fixture at the end of the DMX chain to prevent
reflections in the DMX signal, which could cause flic ering and unwanted behaviour from your intelligent
fixtures.
A DMX terminator is an XLR connector with a 120-ohm resistor placed between pin 2 and 3 as a bridge.
NOTE: The ERO 704 can be switched between two DMX modes. The only difference is that in the 13CH
mode you have control over pan and tilt fine values (for the precise aiming of your beams), and there are
extra functions for triggering the music controlled mode and colour macros.
9CH mode:
