®
Green Phantom™.
General Operation:
This fixture is designed to operate as a stand
alone, sound-active unit, or in a Master/Slave configuration. It can
also operate via DMX controller. The Green Phantom™ is ready to
be plugged in out of the box. The unit comes with several built-in
patterns that automatically cycle through when the unit is operat-
ing, the patterns can also be selected manually. If the unit does not
turn on after the unit has been plugged in, be sure the unit is properly
plugged in to a matching wall outlet. If the problem continues to per-
sist, please contact customer support for further instructions.
Operating Modes:
Universal DMX Control:
This mode allows you to use a universal
DMX-512 controller such as the American DJ
®
DMX Operator™ or
Show Designer.™
1. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 8 - 10 as well as the set-up procedures included with
your DMX controller.
2. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
3. Assign a DMX address to the unit by following DMX setup and
using dipswitches 1-10.
4. The Green Phantom™ uses two DMX channels. See page 13
for detailed description of the DMX traits. Use your DMX control-
ler to activate the various built-in patterns.
5. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.
Stand-Alone Operation (Auto Mode, Manual Mode & Sound
Active Mode):
This mode allows a single unit to run in an auto
mode, manual mode, or sound active mode. Use these modes when
running a single unit, or when running several units as individuals.
Auto Mode:
1. Set the mode switch to the “Auto” position. Adjust the Elapse
Time knob to set the speed of pattern switches.

Operation
Manual Mode:
1. Set the mode switch to the “Manual” position. Use the Pattern
knobs 1 & 2 to adjust the patterns. Stop adjusting when you find
your desired pattern.
Sound Active Mode:
1. Set the mode switch to the “Sound Active” position.
2. The unit will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal
microphone.
Master-Slave Operation (Auto Mode, Manual Mode & Sound
Active Mode):
This mode will allow you to link up to 16 units together
and operate without a controller. 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 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.
Auto Mode:
Choose a unit to function as the Master and set dip-
switch #1 to the “ON” position, and put the Mode switch in “Auto”
position. This unit must be the first unit in line.
3. Turn any other dipswitches to the “ON” position, except dip-
switch #1, this must remain “OFF” on the SLAVE units. Now they
will react the same as the MASTER.
4.
Manual Mode:
Choose a unit to function as the Master and set
dipswitch #1 to the “ON” position, and put the Mode switch in
“Manual” position. This unit must be the first unit in line.
5. Turn any other dipswitches to the “ON” position, except dip-
switch #1, this must remain “OFF” on the SLAVE units. Now they
will react the same as the MASTER.
6.
Sound Active Mode:
Choose a unit to function as the Master and
set dipswitch #1 to the “ON” position, and put the Mode switch in
“Sound Active” position. This unit must be the first unit in line.
7. Turn any other dipswitches to the “ON” position, except dip-
switch #1, this must remain “OFF” on the SLAVE units. Now they
will react the same as the MASTER.
