After a full charge, the battery can last 3 hours will all LEDs on or up to II hours with one color on. Results will vary based on LED brightness. PLEASE NOTE: The fixture must be charged for 6 — 7 hours when charging for the first time.

Setting Wireless Frequency Groups

The BEST PAR 50 features seven individual 2.4ghz groups so you can organize your fixtures. Each group is represented by a color. Use the wireless frequency set button to select any one of the seven available group colors. Make sure all the other fixtures within that group are set to the same group color.

Primary/Secondary Mode

1. Connect to power source and turn on all fixtures.
2. Connect all fixtures wirelessly or via the DMX IN/DMX OUT ports. If connecting wirelessly, make sure that all fixtures are set to the same frequency group. See the "Setting Wireless Frequency Groups" section above.
3. Set all fixtures to DMX mode A001 (6CH) or D001 (10CH) on the panel display.
4. Set one fixture to be the primary, R001: L-on. Set all other fixtures to secondary mode, R001: L-of.

DMX Mode

The BEST PAR 50 can be controlled via any DMX Controller. You can either Link the picture to your DMX Controller with a DMX cable or utilize the Wireless DMX function if your Controller is capable. From your DMX controller you can change the color, control different modes, create scenes, and program chases. You can also daisy chain multiple units of BEST PAR 50 together via DMX Cables, or Wireless DMX. The Fixture uses either 6 or 10 channels depending what DMX mode you are in.

DMX Channels

To set the DMX starting channel address press the MENU button until you see d001 (10 channel mode) or A001 (6 channel mode). Now use the UP and DOWN buttons to select the desired setting. Press the ENTER button to save your selection.

DMX Termination (Optional)

The last fixture of a DMX chain has to be "terminated". This prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals. To terminate the last fixture solder a 1/4 Watt, 120 Ohm resistor across the DATA - and DATA + wires. The connections are illustrated below. If you are only connecting a few fixtures which are close together and use a short run to the controller, you may be able to operate without a terminator. Please see the diagram below.
