Unpacking:

Every Pocket Scan™ has been thoroughly tested and has been 

shipped in perfect operating condition. Carefully check the ship-

ping  carton  for  damage  that  may  have  occurred  during  ship-

ping.  If  the  carton  appears  to  be  damaged,  carefully  inspect 

your  fixture  for  any  damage.  In  the  case  damage  has  been 

found please contact our toll free customer support number for 

further instructions.

Power Supply:

Before plugging your unit in be sure the source voltage in your 

area matches the required voltage for your American DJ

®

 Pocket 

Scan.™ The American DJ

®

 Pocket Scan

 is available in a 115v 

and 230v version. Because line voltage may vary from venue to 

venue, you should be sure to plug your unit into a matching wall 

outlet before attempting to operate you controller.  

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements:

Your controller and packs require a standard 3-pin XLR connector 

for DMX data input and DMX data output (Figure 1).  If you are 

making your own cables be sure to use standard two conductor 

shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all pro 

sound and lighting stores).  Your cables should be made with a 

male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable.   Also 

remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and can not 

be “Y”ed or split.

Notice:

  Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector.  Do  

not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or 

allow  the  shield  conductor  to  come  in  contact  with  the    XLR’s 

outer casing.  Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit 

and erratic behavior.
