Radd™ Operating Instructions
For best results use fog or special effects smoke to enhance the beams
projections. The Radd™ comes with a protective transportation cover.
Be sure to remove it before attempting any operation!
Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active):
1. To operate as a stand alone unit, via its internal chases and micro
phone, turn all dip switches off.
2. Adjust the sensitivity knob on the rear of the unit so the unit
will react to sound.
3. The Radd™ will now react to the bass sound of music via the
internal microphone.
Master-Slave Operation (Sound Active):
1. This function will allow you to link up to 16 units to run on the
master units internal programs.
2. 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.
3. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the bottom of the
units.
4. Use standard XLR microphone cables to link your units together.
Remember that the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female
XLR connector is the output.
5. 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.
6. Turn all the master units dip switches to the off position.
7. Please follow chart on page 4 for all slave dipswitch settings. Note
only one fixture may use the master units dip switch settings.
8. After all the units settings have been set and are plugged in, adjust
the sensitivity knob on the bottom of the master unit to make them
react to sound.
Note: Stand-Alone and Master-Slave operation require sound to
activate!
DMX Operation:
This fixture will react with DMX operation. For best results use only
1 (one) motor function for each scene (or step), when programming
scenes into a DMX controller. This will give you faster mirror and faster
gobo/color changes. For Example:
A. With DMX controller move the mirror up then program the step.
B. Move the mirror down then program that step.
C. Change the gobo/color wheel then program that step.
D. Continue this pattern to achieve best results.
1. Operating through a DMX controller gives the user freedom to create
his/her own programs tailored to their own individual needs. This
function also allows you to use your fixtures as spots.
2. This operation will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits
with a standard DMX 512 controller such as the American DJ Show
Designer
™
or the American DJ
®
DMX Operator.
™
3. The Radd™ uses four DMX channels to operate; Channel 1 is Pan,
channel 2 is Tilt, channel 3 is Color, and channel 4 Gobos.
4. To run your fixture in DMX mode, plug in the fixture via the XLR
connections to any standard DMX controller. - Follow the set-up
specifications that come with the controller.
1. To focus a Radd,™ it is best to first turn down the music sensitivity
knob to its minimum position.
2. Loosen the thumb screw on the front of the unit that hold the lens
in place.
3. Adjust the focus by manually moving the lens up and down.
4. Tighten the thumb screw after you achieve your desired focus.
