4. Maintenance and Support
Ongoing maintenance and support are essential for the longevity of kinetic light installations. Some providers offer maintenance services, which can be factored into the overall cost.
5. Project Scale and Duration
Larger-scale projects or those with extended timelines may incur higher costs due to increased resource requirements and longer labor hours.
6. Location and Logistics
The installation location can affect costs, especially if it involves complex logistics or remote areas. Transportation and setup expenses may vary accordingly.
7. Customization and Features
Additional features, such as interactive elements or integration with other systems, can increase the cost of the installation.

How to set the DMX starting address via the panel?
Follow these steps:
1. Press "Left" (multiple times if needed) to return to the main interface.
2. Press "Up/Down" to select "Settings", then press "OK" to enter.
3. Select "DMX Address" and press "OK" to enter edit mode.
4. Adjust the hundreds digit (e.g., 2 for address 286) with "Up/Down", press "OK" to confirm; repeat for tens (8) and units (6) digits.
5. Press "OK" again to save the address (e.g., A286) and exit edit mode.
The X/Y axis moves abnormally (jitter, no response). What causes this?
Address the issue as follows:
1. Mechanical Check: Open the fixture (after power-off) to inspect if the X/Y axis belts are loose or broken; re-tighten or replace belts if needed.
2. Optical Coupling Calibration: Enter "Settings → Motor Calibration → X/Y Axis" to adjust the offset (-128~+127) or enable "Optical Coupling" (auto-corrects step loss).
3. Reset & Restart: Press "Menu → Reset → XY Reset" to reposition the axes; if no response, check the X/Y axis photoelectric switches (replace if "X/Y Hall Error" appears in the error menu).
The fixture does not respond to the DMX controller. How to fix it?
Resolve with these checks:
1. DMX Address & Channels: Ensure the fixture’s starting address is correct (e.g., 34CH fixture 1: A001, fixture 2: A035) and the controller’s channel count ≥ total fixture channels.
2. Signal Wiring: Use shielded twisted-pair DMX cables (≤150m); install a 120Ω terminal resistor between pins 2-3 of the last fixture’s XLR connector.
3. Signal Amplification: For cable lengths >150m, add a DMX signal amplifier to avoid signal loss; separate DMX cables from high-voltage power cables (≥1m apart) to prevent interference.
