DMX Operation:
This unit must be controlled with a DMX controller. This unit is not
sound active and does not include any built in programs. For best result
we recommend the American DJ
®
Show Designer or the American DJ
®
DMX Operator to control the Spiral Scan™.
1. Operating through a DMX controller gives the user freedom to
create custom programs tailored to personal 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 Spiral Scan™ uses four DMX channels to operate;
Channel 1 controls the Pan.
Channel 2 controls the Tilt.
Channel 3 controls the Color.
Channel 4 controls the Gobos.
Channel 5 controls the Gobo Rotation Speed.
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.
5. Use your controller to control the various fixture traits (Pan, Tilt,
Color, Gobo, and Gobo Rotation Speed). A complete break down
of the DMX traits can be found on page 14 of this manual.
Auto-Mate™/DMX Solo™ Operation:
The Auto-Mate™ and DMX Solo™ by American DJ
®
, are mini DMX
controllers that come with built-in programs exclusively for the Spiral
Scan.™ The Auto-Mate includes eight programs and the DMX Solo™
includes 16 built-in programs. Please note that all programs in the Auto-
Mate™ are preset, but may be changed with the American DJ™ Show
Designer.™ You may wish to use this optional controller as an inexpen-
sive alternative to a full featured DMX controller. This option will also
allow the fixture to be sound active. All set-up and installations proce-
dures are the same as a standard DMX operation. For more information
on either of these two optional controllers, please contact our toll free
customer support number or see us on the web.
