Emerald Scan™
Control & Functions
1. Power Cord -
Connect only to a matching power outlet. Never
use this fixture is the ground prong has been removed or broken off.
2. Breaker -
A 2A built-in safety breaker to reduce the risk of electri-
cal shock or fire and protect the circuitry. In the case of a internal short
or power surge.
3. Mini/C Controller Jack -
This jack is for use with the optional
Mini/C controller only. Do not attempt to connect an audio signal to
this jack, this will damage the PC board and void your manufactures
warranty!
4. XLR Input Jack -
This jack is used to accept an incoming DMX
signal or Master/Slave signal.
5. XLR Output Jack -
This jack is used to transmit the incoming
DMX signal to another DMX fixture, or transmit a Master/Slave signal
to the next Emerald Scan™ in the chain. For best results in DMX or
Master/Slave mode terminate this jack if it is the last unit in the chain.
See “Terminator” on page 10.
6. Dip Switches -
These switches serve two functions. In DMX mode
each switch corresponds to a specific value based on binary code.
See page 8 for a detailed explanation of DMX binary code.

Operation
react to the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master
or as a Slave.
1. Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units
together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remem-
ber the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR
connector is the output. For longer cable runs we suggest a
terminator at the last fixture.
2. See page 14 for Master/Slave dipswitch positions. Choose a unit
to function as the Master and set the dipswitch accordingly. This
unit must be the first unit in line. Then simply daisy chain the units
together using XLR cables.
3. Now set the Slave units dipswitches accordingly, and they will
react the same as the MASTER.
4. The optional
MINI/C Controller
(not included)
may be used to
control a blackout function.
Built-In Program:
This mode allows a single unit to run a built-in
program. Use this mode when running a single unit, or when running
a Master/Slave configuration.
1. Follow the dipswitch settings on page 14.
2. The unit will run the built-in internal program that you have
chosen.
3. The optional
MINI/C Controller
(not included) may be used with
this mode to control a blackout function.
