CONTROL SYSTEMS
TRACER CONTROL UNIT
SUPERTRACER comes with a control unit mounted on the adjustable bar and connected to the projector by
means of a proper cable through 9 pin din connector. The TRACER CONTROL UNIT is powered at low voltage 12
Volts directly by the projector and it is able to control the fixture in all its functions.
It is necessary to know that SUPERTRACER can be controlled by practically all types of controllers on the market
that can execute the standard DMX 512 protocol. Controller-projector and projector-projector connections require a
two-core screened cable provided with CANNON PLUGS AND SOCKETS. SUPERTRACER can use both 3 or 5
pin CANNON plugs and sockets because it comes with 3- and 5 pin CANNON SERIAL PORTS. The ground braid
on the screened cable must be connected to just one end of the cable. The projector and cables must not be
installed near overhead ducts for electrical cables or intense magnetic fields.
CONTROL FROM TRACER CONTROL UNIT
In this mode, the projector is controlled directly from the on-board TRACER control unit.
To better understand the working, we suggest to read carefully this paragraph and, if possible, to operate step by
step directly on the TRACER console or to refer to the TRACER console drawing.

controlled by the colour section slider when the Rainbow LED is switched on. This function may be switched off by
pressing the Rainbow/Fixed Colours key again or any of the quick-select COLOUR keys.

or cold colours (6500°K CTB). The FROST filter key is used to obtain soft beam using.
