4.   Turn the master unit dipswitchws to the “Off” position.
5.   Please follow chart on page 13 for all slave dipswitch settings.  
      Note only one fixture may use the master units dipswitch set-   
      tings (see Page 13).
6.   After all the units settings have been set and are plugged in,    
      adjust the sensitivity knob on the bottom of the master unit to  
      make them react to sound.
7.   To run a synchronized light show set all the dipswitch on all the  
      fixture to the ‘off’ position. All fixtures will now run in the same  
      exact pattern.
8.   You can also use the optional MINI/C Remote Control. If you want  
      to use the optional remote control, connect the MINI/C controller  
      to the first fixture in the line (master).  
Note:  The  remote  control  only  operates  in  Stand-Alone  and  Master/
Slave modes. If the remote is connected in DMX mode it will not func-
tion.  If  the  units  do  not  receive  an  active  DMX  signal,  the  units  will 
automatically react to sound in the Master/Slave mode. 

DMX Mode:

This  fixture  will  react  with  DMX  operation.  For  best  results  use  only 
one  motor  function  for  each  scene  (or  step),  when  programming 
scenes into a DMX controller. This will give you faster mirror and fast-
er gobo/color changes.  For Example:
      A.  With the DMX controller move the mirror up then program the   
      step.
      B.  Move the mirror down then program that step.
      C.  Change the gobo/color wheel then program that step.
      D.  Continue this pattern to achieve best results.
1.  Operating through a DMX controller gives the user freedom to  
      create his/her own programs tailored to their own individual    
      needs. This function also allows you to use your fixtures as spots.
2.   This operation will allow you to control each individual fixtures 
      traits with a standard DMX 512 controller such as the    

 

      American DJ Show Designer™ or the American DJ

®

 DMX  

 

      Operator.™ 
3.   The DJ Scan 250™ uses four DMX channels to operate; Channel1       
      is Pan, channel 2 is Tilt, channel 3 is Color, and channel 4 Gobos.
4.   To run your fixture in DMX mode, plug in the fixture via the XLR

Operating Modes:

You can use the  DJ Scan 250

 in three ways:

•  Stand alone mode - 

The unit will react to sound, chasing through 

the several built in programs. You can also use the optional DJ Scan 
MINI/C Remote Control to blackout the units.

• Master/Slave mode -

 You can daisy chain up to 4 units together 

toget a synchronized light show that will react to sound chasing  
through several built in programs.

•  DMX control mode -

 This function will allow you to control each  

individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512 controller such as  
the American DJ Show Designer.

For  best  results  use  fog  or  special  effects  smoke  to  enhance  the 
beams  projections.  The  DJ  Scan  250™  comes  with  a  protective 
transportation  cover.    Be  sure  to  remove  it  before  attempting  any 
operation!

Stand Alone Mode:

1.   To operate as a stand alone unit, via its internal chases and    
      microphone, turn all dipswitches off.
2.   Adjust the sensitivity knob on the bottom of the unit so the unit  
      will react to sound.
3.   The DJ Scan 250™ will now react to the bass sound of music via  
      the internal microphone.

Master-Slave Operation:

This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together to run on  
the master unit’s 2 channel internal programs. In Master-Slave opera-
tion one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to 
the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a 
Slave.
1.   Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the bottom    
      of the units.
2.   Use standard XLR microphone cables to link your units together.   
      Remember that the Male XLR connector is the input and the    
      Female XLR connector is the output.
3.   The first unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connec- 
      tor only - The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connec 
      tor only.
