Spinout™ Operating Instructions
For best results, use fog or special effects smoke to enhance the beams
projections. Please make all connection before powering the units.
Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active):
1. To operate as a stand alone unit, via its internal programs and micro
phone, turn all the dip switches to the off position.
2. Adjust the audio sensitivity knob on the rear of the unit to make the
unit more or less sensitive to sound.
3. The Spinout™ will now react to the bass tone of music via the
internal microphone.
Master-Slave Operation (Sound Active):
There are two different
Master-Slave modes. One mode syncs all the units together, this means all
the unit will do the exact same thing at the same time. The second mode
runs the units to a built-in chase.
1. This function will allow you to link up to 16 units.
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 connectors on the rear 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. Mode One - Sync Mode: Turn the dip switches on the Master unit
to the off position. For all the remaining units (slaves), turn dip switch
number one “on.” Note only the first fixture in the line (master) may
use the master units dip switch settings - all “off.”
7. Mode Two: Set you dip switches according to the chart on page 13.
8. After all the units settings have been set and all cables are plugged
in, adjust the sensitivity knob on the rear of the master unit to
make them more or less sensitive to sound.
Note: Stand-Alone and Master-Slave operation require sound to
activate!
DMX Operation:
1. Operating through a DMX controller gives you freedom to create
your own programs tailored to your needs. This function also allows
you to use your fixtures as color changers.
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 Spinout™ uses four DMX channels to operate; Channel 1
controls dish rotation, channel 2 changes the effect wheel, channel 3
controls Color wheel, and channel 4 controls Gobo wheel. See page
11 for the DMX traits chart.
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.
