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 unit will start the previously used mode, but by default it is set to DMX mode.
The status of the fixture 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:
Addr / 1 :
This value represents the DMX channel where the scanner is currently set to. 1 stands for channel 1,
but can be changed with the UP and DOWN buttons to a value from 1 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:
Soun:
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
, displaying ‘Soun’. 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. The
Sound mode can be activated or de-activated.
Master/Slave mode:
Nast / SL 1 / SL 2:
The ‘Nast’ 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 ‘SL 1’ or ‘SL 2’ on the display. This way you can select a synchronous or
horizontal mirrored slave-function, for more dynamic effects.
LED display mode:
Led:
The LED display of the unit can be turned off during use, which makes your light-show more attractive,
especially if the display is visible for your audience. When using the menu-buttons the display will be
lit, but after several seconds inactivity the display will be turned off. When pressing one of the menu
buttons the display will activate itself again. The off value means display OFF, the on value means
display ON. The DMX indicating dot will not turn off for convenience reasons.
DMX control mode:
This fixture can be controlled using a DMX-controller and standard XLR male to XLR female cable.
When doing so, make sure your DMX-controller is capable of controlling your fixture. When in doubt,
contact your local dealer for advice.
