Setting up the unit
To activate the unit, connect the included power supply with the unit and a suitable 230V, 50 Hz power
outlet. The unit will activate directly after it is plugged in to a wall outlet or other power source.
Give the scanner time to calibrate the stepping motors, which are used to determine the position of the
mirror. You may hear and see some shaking, which is normal. The stepping motors use an end point
to determine the beginning and end of their movement.
The displays shows a scrolling “RST” status.
After calibration, the movinghead will start the previously used mode, but by default it is set to DMX
mode.
The status of the scanner is shown on the display. Certain values determine
the current status and will change when you push buttons on the control panel.
The buttons each have their own function, for easy navigation in the control
panel.
Press the ‘MENU’ button to switch modes, so you can easily select the built-in
master/slave, music controlled or DMX mode.
Display codes:
DMX-Mode:
A001:
This value represents the DMX channel where the scanner is currently set to. 001 stands for channel
1, but can be changed with the UP and DOWN buttons to a value from 001 to 255.
When receiving DMX data, a small red dot on the display will blink continuously, regardless of what
function is being used.
Music controlled mode:
When no DMX-signal is detected in DMX-mode, or when you select the master-mode, the unit will turn
itself into music controlled mode. Use the microphone sensitivity potentiometer to adjust the sensitivity
of the internal microphone for optimal light to sound functionality. When no music is detected, the
scanner will play a slow automatic program until a beat or loud sound is detected.
Master/Slave mode:
S-1- / D 1:
The D-value stands for the master-unit, which will use the internal microphone to perform music-
controlled. This fixture will send out a signal for slave fixtures, which you may connect using standard
XLR male to XLR female cables (not included).
The slave units show S-1- on the display, but a value of 0-4 can be chosen, using the UP and DOWN
buttons. These values represent certain setting, for example pan/tilt invert, so your fixtures work
synchronized while the mirror movements are inverted.
Pan and tilt mode:
P 0 / T 0
The pan and tilt values of every fixture can be reversed. This makes synchronized, but movement-
mirrored lightshows possible. The pan and tilt of every fixture can be mirrored individually.
P 0 represents the Pan mode. The default is set to 0, which means a normal working mode. By using
the UP and DOWN buttons you are able to select 0 or 1, where 1 is the inverted mode.
T 0 represents the Tilt mode. The same settings apply here as described above.
