Setting up the unit
To activate the unit, connect the appropriate included power cable to the unit and to a suitable 230V, 50Hz
power outlet.
During start-up, the stepper motors of the mirror need to calibrate. It's possible that you notice the fixture
shaking and rattling a bit; this is perfectly normal as long as it takes no longer than 30 seconds. During start-
up the display reads 'AYRA' and the fixture cannot be used. Do not try to enter the menu during start-up.
When the start-up process is complete, the last used mode will be shown and the settings and values can be
changed. For a new product, this is usually the DMX mode with the value set to 001. If no DMX signal is
present, the device will turn to an auto or music-controlled mode.
Through the menu and the buttons below the display, you are able to adjust settings and read data from the
fixture.
Use the display and the menu buttons on the bottom to set preferences, change settings and scroll through
the menu. “Enter” is used to save a certain setting or preset; press “Menu” for at least 2 seconds to return to
the main menu.
The table below shows an explanation for every feature and value.

ADDR:
DMX address setting, used to determine the DMX starting channel. From this channel on, the fixture
will respond to values corresponding with the number of channels that the fixture is occupying. (For example,
when you set the starting address to value 003, the fixture will respond to channels 3, 4, 5 etc.)
CHND:
The channel mode of the fixture makes it possible to use the correct channel mode setting for every
application. For simple and basic setups, users may prefer to use the 1CH mode. For optimal control of
every function, select the 11CH mode.
SLND:
Select the right master or slave operation for the fixture. The usual mode is the master mode. If you
select Slave mode 1 or 2 (2 is partially reversed in music controlled mode), the fixture only listens to a signal
provided by the master fixture.
To use the master-slave mode, connect two TDC Diamond Scan fixtures together with standard 3P XLR
male – 3P XLR female cable (not included). Connect the DMX output of the master device to the DMX input
of the slave device. . The slave will mimic the actions of the master fixture, regardless which mode (AutoRun,
Sound-controlled, etc.) is selected.
