voltage in your area matches the required voltage for your American
DJ
®
Deco FX™ before attempting operation.
General Operation:
Just plug this light in, and watch it go. This fix-
ture is designed to operate as a stand alone unit. It has been tested
and the lamp has been installed at the factory there is no assembly
necessary. The Deco FX™ is ready to be plugged in, out of the box.
There is no power switch, after plugging in the unit the lamp should
turn on, and unit will begin to function. If there is no lamp output
check the fuse and bulb. If the fuse and bulb are good, please return
the unit for servicing.
Operating Modes:
This unit comes with a 3-way multi-operating switch located on the
bottom of the unit. The switch controls three (3) different operating
modes; Static, Sound Active, and Auto.
Switch in the "I" auto position: Mode 1 - In this mode the mirror dish
and textured glass wheell will spin continuously in one direction,
regardless of the presence of sound.
Switch in the “0” satic position: Mode 2 - In this mode the textured
glass wheel will continuously rotate while the mirror dish will remain
static. In this mode the unit may be used as a rotating-gobo projec-
tor.
Switch in the “II” sound position: Mode 3 - In the this mode the tex-
tured glass wheel will continuously rotate in one direction while the
mirror dish will react to sound. Please note that tapping on the unit,
or high pitched sounds may not trigger the unit, the unit is designed
to react to low frequencies (bass). Also note that the music sensitivity
is preset at the factory and may not be changed or adjusted.
Focusing:
The unit has a fully focusing lens. The lens is focused by manually
turning the knob located on the top front, in either a clockwise or
counter-clockwise direction.
Caution:

unless otherwise specified by an authorized American DJ
®
techni-
cian. Replace with anything other than the specified part can damage
your unit and will void your manufactures warranty.
Warning:
If after you have replaced the lamp or the fuse and you
continue to blow either one, STOP using the unit. Contact customer
support for further instructions, you may have to return the unit for
servicing. Continuing to use the unit may cause serious damage.
Fuse Replacement:
First unplug the power. The fuse holder
is located next to the power cord. Using a flat-head screw driver
unscrew the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace with a
new one.
Lamp Replacement:
Caution! Never open the unit when in use.
Always disconnect the main power and allow the fixture ample time
to cool before attempting to replace the lamp. Lamp replacement has
been made simple by incorporating a split dome that is retained by
thumb screws.
Again, please remember to always replace with the
exact same type lamp.
1. Be sure to follow the proper procedures when handling halogen
lamps.
Never touch the new lamp with your bare fingers.
2. Unscrew the single phillips screw located at the bottom front of
the unit. It will say “Lamp Access”.
3. Once the screw has been removed, pull the lamp assembly
cover plate up to expose the lamp.
4. Remove and replace the lamp with an exact match.
5. Reassemble in reverse order.
Halogen Lamp Warning!
This fixture is fitted with
halogen lamps which are highly susceptible to
damage if improperly handled. Never touch the
lamps with your bare fingers as the oil from your
hands will shorten lamp life. Also, never move the
fixture until the lamps have had ample time to cool.
Remember, lamps are not covered under warranty
conditions.
