Note: If Mode 4 is selected, then the speed of PAN/TILT movement is set to
MAXIMUM. This mode is suitable for the EX-4 controller.
You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different
occupation with different features.

Addressing

The Control Board on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is
defined as the first channel from which the MH-420 will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the MH-420 will use the channel 5 to 20 for control.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each MH-420 correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more MH-420 are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address setting, please refer to the instructions under "Addressing" (menu "A001").
Controlling:
After having addressed all MH-420, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the MH-420 will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is
no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash "A001" with actually set address.
This situation can occurr if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the MH-660.
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap
in the input connector.
Note:
It's necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.

Colour-wheel

The MH-420 features a colour-wheel with 12 color positions - 11 of these with dichroic colors and the last
one open. The wheel can be positioned between two adjacent colors in any position. It is also possible to
rotate the color-wheel continuously at different speeds - the so-called "Rainbow effect" is created.
