Unpacking:
Every Pocket Scan™ has been thoroughly tested and has been
shipped in perfect operating condition. Carefully check the ship-
ping carton for damage that may have occurred during ship-
ping. If the carton appears to be damaged, carefully inspect
your fixture for any damage. In the case damage has been
found please contact our toll free customer support number for
further instructions.
Power Supply:
Before plugging your unit in be sure the source voltage in your
area matches the required voltage for your American DJ
®
Scan.™ The American DJ
®
Pocket Scan
™
is available in a 115v
and 230v version. Because line voltage may vary from venue to
venue, you should be sure to plug your unit into a matching wall
outlet before attempting to operate you controller.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements:
Your controller and packs require a standard 3-pin XLR connector
for DMX data input and DMX data output (Figure 1). If you are
making your own cables be sure to use standard two conductor
shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all pro
sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a
male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also
remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and can not
be “Y”ed or split.
Notice:
Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do
not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or
allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s
outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit
and erratic behavior.
