Four channel setting switches are on the control box. The MODE switch is the left one and nearest the red LED power
indicator. The right hand switch is the X1 DMX.
Address then X10 and X100
It is powered by 24 volt DC and controlled by DMX512, either from most color scroller power supplies or a standalone power
supply. Once powered, the unit will show a red power LED to indicate the power is on. The unit is also fitted with a green
LED which indicates the status of operation. After it is powered, the unit needs to initialize to find the home position of the
gobos. This takes about 2 seconds during which time the green LED will flash. Once the home sensing is complete the
flashing will stop. If the LED is not lit then DMX is not present. If the LED continues flashing, it means there has been a fault
detecting the sensor and the unit operates but without correct index positioning.

--------------- CAUTION ----------------
When using a DMX device with a discharge lamp such as CDM or an HMI, it's suggested that you separate the power circuit for the discharge
lamp from the DMX control device. When using DMX controlled units such as an Indexing TwinSpin™ or SX4® Gobo Changer or DMX Loop Tray,
the "noise" from the discharge lamp ballast may cause some interference and or damage the electronics. For best results we recommend
providing separate line voltage to the DMX devices and the discharge light fixture.
