Introduction

Thank you for having chosen Kongfu 18 Matrix MKII. You will see you acquired a powerful and versatile device.

Unpack your item. Before you initial start-up, please make sure that there is no damage caused by transportati-

on. Should there be any, consult your dealer and do not use the device.

Safety instructions

This device has left our premises in absolutely perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to ensure

a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes writ-

ten in this user manual.

Installation

that none of the xture’s ventilation slots are blocked. Fasten the xture to a secure structure or surface. Do not

stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over. If you install the xture in a location where it

may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed in this user manual using a securely anchored safety

cable that will hold the xture if the primary fastening method fails.

Fastening the xture to a at surface

The xture can be fastened to a hard, xed, at surface that is oriented at any angle. Ensure that the surface and

all fasteners used can support at least 10 times the weight of all xtures and equipment to be installed on it.

Fasten the xture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over. If you install

the xture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed below with a securely

anchored safety cable that will hold the xture if the primary fastening method fails.

installed on it.

2. Block access under the work area.

3. Fold the legs of the mounting bracket together and bolt a rigging clamp securely to the mounting bracket. The

bolt used must be M10, grade 8.8 steel minimum. It must pass through both mounting bracket legs and be

fastened with a self-locking nut.

4. Working from a stable platform, hang the xture with its clamp on the truss and fasten the clamp securely.

5. Secure the xture with a safety cable as directed below.

Securing with a safety cable

Secure the xture with a safety cable (or other secondary attachment) that is approved for the weight of the

xture so that the safety cable will hold the xture if a primary attachment fails. Loop the safety cable through

DMX-512 connection/connection between xtures

outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.

Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the rst xture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next xture. Always

connect one output with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected.

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator:

For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment, such

as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of the digital

control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 resistor connected bet-

ween pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last xture in the chain.

Caution:

Operation

The Kongfu 18 Matrix MKII can operate in three dierent modes. In each mode you can run the xture as a stand

alone xture or in a master/slave conugration. This next section will detail the dif-ferences in the operating

All xtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct xture responds

to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the xture starts to

listen to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting address is

achieved by setting the correct number on the display located on the base of the device.

You can set the same starting address for all xtures or a group of xtures, or make dierent address for each

xture individually.

If you set the same address, all the units will start to listen to the same control signal from the same channel

number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will aect all the xtures simultaneously.

If you set a dierent address, each unit will start to listen to the channel number you have set, based on the

quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will aect only the

Note: Always set MENU to address mode(A.001-A.512) when using DMX control!
