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 Galaxian Gem LED can operate in three
different 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 chases and patterns,
dimmer and strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique
programs tailored to your individual needs.
1. The Galaxian Gem LED is a five 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.
Show Mode:
In this mode you can choose 1 of 8 show modes to run.
This operating mode can be used in stand alone unit or in a master-
slave configuration.

Master-Slave Operation
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 programs. Any unit
can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1. Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units togeth-
er 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 termina-
tor at the last fixture.
2.
For the Master unit
press the MENU button until “
SLND
” is dis-
played, and Press ENTER. Set the unit to “
MAST
” and press ENTER.
3. Next set the Master to your desired operating mode.
4. For the slave units
press the MENU button until “
SLND
” is dis-
played, and Press ENTER. Set the slave units to either “
SL 1
” or
“
SL 2
”.
5. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.
6. The optional UC3 Controller (not included) may be used to con-
trol different functions including blackout. See page 17 for UC3
controls.
