Special Note:
For excessive cable runs of 100ft. total or more, we recommend using a termi-
nator of 80-100 ohms/.5w. Long cable runs can sometimes cause erratic behavior. Using a cable ter-
minator will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.
For best results use fog or special effects smoke to enhance the beams projections.
The DJ
Scan
™
comes with a protective transportation cover. Be sure to remove it before attempt-
ing any operation!
Stand-Alone Operation (
Sound Active
):
1. To operate as a stand alone unit, via its internal chases and microphone, turn all dip switches off
(see Diagram1).
2. Adjust the sensitivity knob on the bottom of the unit so the unit will react to sound.
3. The DJ Scan™ will now react to the bass sound of music via the internal microphone.
Master-Slave Operation (
Sound Active
):
1. This function will allow you to link up to 16 units to run on the master units internal programs.
2. In Master-Slave operation 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.
3. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the bottom of the units.
4. 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.
5. The first unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain
will use the male XLR connector only.
6. Turn all the master units dip switches to the off position (see Page 6/Diagram1).
7. Please follow chart on page 4 for all slave dipswitch settings.
Note only one fixture may use the
master units dip switch settings (see Page 4/Diagram1).
8. 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.
Note:
Stand-Alone and Master -Slave operation require sound to activate!
