ROCKON-7: How To Use The Remote

Introduction

The RockOn 7 Moving Head Light includes a wireless remote control, allowing you to adjust brightness, color, movement, and mode settings without needing a DMX controller. This guide will walk you through all remote functions and how to use them effectively.

Step 1: Understanding the Remote Buttons

The wireless remote has multiple buttons for controlling different functions of the RockOn 7 Moving Head Light. Here’s a breakdown of what each button does:

A. Basic Power & Reset Functions

• Power Button: Turns the light on or off.
• Save Button: Saves the current setting, so the light remembers it after being powered off.
• Reset Button: Resets the light to its default settings.

B. Mode Selection

• Auto Mode: Runs a preset automated lighting sequence.
• Sound Mode: Activates sound-activated mode, where the light responds to music or noise.
• Strobe Mode: Enables the strobe effect, where the light flashes on and off rapidly.
• Speed (+/-): Adjusts the speed of auto, sound, and strobe modes.

C. Brightness & Color Controls

• Dimmer Button: Adjusts the overall brightness of the light.
• Color Button: Cycles through available colors.
• Speed (+/-): Adjusts the brightness intensity or fine-tunes color adjustments.

D. Movement Controls (Pan & Tilt)

• X Button: Controls the pan (horizontal movement) of the light.
• Y Button: Controls the tilt (vertical movement) of the light.
• Speed (+/-): Adjusts the speed of pan/tilt movements.

E. Predefined Colors & Automated Modes

• Red, Green, Blue, White Buttons: Instantly sets the light to one of these base colors.
• Full Button: Activates full mode for maximum brightness and effect.
• Number Buttons (1-4): Selects different pre-programmed automated lighting modes.
• Speed (+/-): Adjusts the speed of the selected automated mode.

Step 2: Using the Remote to Control the Light

1. Point the remote directly at the light (IR technology requires a clear line of sight).
2. Ensure the light is in Master Mode if using Master-Slave mode.
3. Press the desired mode button (Auto, Sound, Strobe, etc.).
4. Use the Speed (+/-) buttons to adjust effects in each mode.
5. Use the X/Y buttons to fine-tune the light’s pan and tilt.
6. Save your settings using the Save Button, or reset to default with the Reset Button.

Step 3: Using the Remote in Master-Slave Mode

• If you have multiple RockOn 7 lights, you can use one remote to control all of them in Master-Slave mode.
• Ensure the Master light is responding to the remote before setting up additional lights as Slaves.
• The Slave lights will mirror the Master light’s actions.

Conclusion

The wireless remote for the RockOn 7 Moving Head Light provides easy control over brightness, color, movement, and effects without needing a DMX controller. For best results, always point the remote directly at the light and ensure it is in line-of-sight range.
