                            Operation

CAUTION IMPORTANT! When installing this projector, make sure 

that it is mounted in a manner that prevents the audience from 

looking  directly  into  the  beam,  and  the  beam  from  striking  the 

audience.

Operating  Modes:  The  Duo  Scan  RG  has  three  different  operating 
modes. In each mode you can run the fixture as a stand alone fixture 
or in a master/slave confiugration. 

Universal DMX Control: 

This function allows you to use a Elation

® 

universal DMX-512 controller to control the individual lasers, patterns, 
rotation, movement, and zoom. A DMX controller allows you to create 
unique programs tailored to your individual needs. 
1.  The Duo Scan RG is a 10 channel DMX fixture. See page 17 for  
 

detailed description of the DMX values and traits.

2.  To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures 
 

on pages 8-10 as well as the set-up specifications that are includ-

 

ed with your DMX controller. 

3.  Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
4.  This will allow you to create your own programs.
5.  Follow the instruction on page 12 to set the DMX address. 
6.  For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on  
 

the last fixture.

7.  For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included   
 

with your DMX controller.

Sound Active Mode: 

This mode allows either single unit or several 

units linked together, to run to the beat of the music.  
1.  Press the MENU button until “

SOUN

” is displayed, and press   

 

ENTER.

2.  

Press the UP or DOWN buttons so that “

ON

” is displayed, and   

 

press ENTER to confirm and then hold MENU for at least 2-3 sec- 

 

onds.

3.  To adjust the sound sensitivity press the MENU button until    
 

SOSE

” is displayed and press ENTER. Use the UP or DOWN but- 

 

tons to adjust sensitivity.

4.  The optional

 UC3 Controller 

(not included)

 

may be used to con- 

 

trol different functions including blackout. See page 17 for UC3  

 

controls and functions.

                            Operation

With  this  feature  you  can  connect  the  fixtures  to  one  another 
using the IEC input and output sockets. The quantity that can be 
connected is 16 fixtures maximum. After 16 fixtures you will need 
to use a new power outlet. They must be the same fixtures. DO 
NOT mix fixtures.

     Power Cord Daisy Chain

Master-Slave  Configuration: 

This  function  will  allow  you  to  link 

up to 16 units together and operate without a controller. The units will 
be sound activated. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the 
controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units pro-
grams. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1.   Using appropriate XLR cables, daisy chain your units together via  
 

the  XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the Male 

 

XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector is the 

 

output. 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. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at  

 

the last fixture.

2.  Set your Master unit to your desired operating mode.
3.  On the slave units press the MENU button until “

SLND

” is dis-

 

played, and press ENTER. Choose either “

SL 1

” or “

SL 2

” and    

 

press ENTER. Please see page 10 for more info.

4.  The slave units will now follow the Master unit.
