• Built-in programmes and microphone
• Power consumption: 21W
• Power supply: 240V
• Dimensions: 210 x 494 x 205mm
• Weight: 3.5Kgs
Operations:
DMX Mode
To select DMX mode, press the “MODE” button to show “ADDR” on the LED display. Now use
the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to set the DMX address from 001-512. When you have nished
setting the desired DMX address press the “ENTER” button.
Auto Run Mode
To select auto run mode, press the “MODE” button to show “AUTO” on the LED display. Now use
the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to choose from the two auto run options “AUTO” or “AUT1”.
“AUTO” Option 1: With this option the unit will run through its built-in programmes when there is
no sound present and will automatically switch to sound when music is heard.
“AUT1” Option 2: With this option the unit will constantly run through the built-in programmes
regardless of the presence of sound.
When you have selected the desired option press the “ENTER” button. The unit will now run
through its built-in programmes.
Sound Active Mode
To select sound active mode, press the “MODE” button to show “SOUN” on the LED display.
Now press the “ENTER” button and use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to set the sound active
mode “ON” or “OFF”. The unit will now react to the beat of the music.
Note: When there is no music present the unit will automatically switch to auto run.
Slave Mode
To select the slave mode, press the “MODE” button to show “SLND” on the LED display.
Now press the “ENTER” button and use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to select either “SLA1”
or “SLA2”.
“SLA1” option: This is the normal slave mode, where the slave units all do the same thing.
“SLA2” option: This is the inversion slave mode, where the slave unit will react in the opposite
direction from the master unit.
Note: After making any changes to the above settings, please allow the Eyebar 5 seconds to
register the change.

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).
DMX Linking:
• DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together
and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the
shortest cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not
inuence the DMX addressing. For example; a xture assigned to 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
xture 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.
DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
• The Equinox Eyebar 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.
Equinox Eyebar 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.
