Procure a syringe with a thin needle, customary in trade (grind off the tip, so it will be blunt - no risk of injury!!), and fill

the oil between the brass gear wheels and the brass plate and turn the rotating gobos by hand.
Attention: Do not use too much oil!
General Informations on DMX512 Record
DMX 512 record is devided in 512 addresses. You have 512 addresses to your disposal. To be able to connect
different appliances with a DMX-controller, it is necessary to determine the number of DMX-channels for every
appliance. The occupation of channels of a scanner could be like that for example:
channel 1
x-movement
channel 2
y-movement
channel 3
gobo/effect wheel
channel 4
colour
channel 5
shutter/dimmer
channel 6
iris/gobo positioning/gobo rotation
In order that not every connected DMX-appliance performs same functions, the appliances are addressed in series;
i.e. for the first appliance the first 6 addresses are used (be right for an appliance with six channels), for the second
