Trance Wheel 250™
Operation
Power Supply:
Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-
age in your area matches the required voltage for your American DJ
®
Trance Wheel 250™ before attempting operation.
General Operation:
Just plug this light in, and watch it go. This fix-
ture is designed to operate as a stand alone unit. It has been tested
and the lamp has been installed at the factory there is no assembly
necessary. The Trance Wheel 250™ is ready to be plugged in, out of
the box. There is no power switch, after plugging the unit the unitʼs
internal beveled glass wheel will rotate continuously in a single direc-
tion, while the outside color dish will rotate back and forth to the beat
of music. The unit will create multi-colored patterns that will simulate
the rippling effect of water. If there is no lamp output check the break-
er and bulb. If the breaker and bulb are good, please return the unit
for servicing.
Operating Modes:
This unit comes with a 3-way multi-operating switch located on the
rear of the unit. The switch controls three (3) different operating
modes; Static, Sound Active, and Continuous Rotation.
Switch in the "I" position: Mode 1 - In this mode the internal oil wheel
and the external multi-mirror dish will spin continuously in clockwise
direction, regardless of the presence of sound.
Switch in the “0” position: Mode 2 - In this mode the internal oil wheel
will continuously rotate while the external multi-mirror dish will remain
static. In this mode the unit may be used as a projector.
Switch in the “II” position: Mode 3 - In the this mode the internal oil
wheel will continuously rotate in one direction while the outer multi-
mirror dish will react to sound. Please note that tapping on the unit, or
high pitched sounds may not trigger the unit, the unit is designed to
react to low frequencies (bass). Also note that the music sensitivity is
preset at the factory and may not be changed or adjusted.
Focusing:
The unit has a fully focusing lens. The lens is focused by manually
turning the lens in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.

erwise specified by an authorized American DJ

and you continue to blow either one, STOP using the unit. Contact
customer support for further instructions, you may have to return the
unit for servicing. Continuing to use the unit may cause serious dam-
age.
Breaker Reset:
This unit is equipped with a built-in safety breaker.
This breaker is designed to close the power circuit in the event of an
internal short or power surge. This will reduce the risk of electrical
shock or fire and protect the circuitry. To reset the breaker, push the
breaker button in until you hear it “pop” back in to place. If the break-
er continues to pop, stop using the unit and contact our customer
support team, the unit may need to be returned for service
.
Lamp Replacement:
Caution! Never open the unit when in use.
Always disconnect the main power and allow the fixture ample time
to cool before attempting to replace the lamp. Lamp replacement has
been made simple by incorporating a split dome that is retained by
thumb screws.
Again, please remember to always replace with the
exact same type lamp.
1. Be sure to follow the proper procedures when handling halogen
lamps.
Never touch the new lamp with your bare fingers.
2. Unscrew the single thumb screw located on the bottom of the
unit.
You do not have to remove the four phillips screws, they
secure the fan in place.
3. Once the thumb screw has been removed, pull the lamp assembly
cover plate up to expose the lamp. The fan is attached to the
cover plate.
4. Remove and replace the lamp with an exact match.
5. Reassemble in reverse order.
