Operating Modes: 

The Fantasy 250™ can operate in three dif-

ferent modes. This next section will detail the differences in the 
operating modes.

•  Stand alone mode - 

The  unit  will  react  to  sound,  chasing  through  the  built-in  programs. 
You can also use the optional Scan MINI/C Remote Control to black-
out the units.

• Master/Slave mode -

 

You  can  daisy  chain  up  to  16  units  together  to  get  a  synchronized 
light show

 without the need of an external controller. The units can

 be 

sound active or run through a built-in program. 

• DMX control mode -

 

This  function  will  allow  you  to  control 

each  individual  fixtures  traits 

with  a  standard  DMX-512  controller  such  as  the  Elation

®

  Show 

Designer.

Universal  DMX  Control: 

This  function  allows  you  to  use  a  uni-

versal  DMX-512  controller  such  as  the  Elation

®

  DMX  Operator™  or 

Elation

®

  Show  Designer™  to  control  the  color  wheel,  gobo  wheel, 

gobo rotation, prism rotation, and the Internal programs. A DMX con-
troller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual 
needs. 
1.  The Fantasy 250™ uses five DMX channels. Channel 1 controls  
 

the color wheel, channel 2 controls the gobo wheel, channel 3  

 

controls gobo rotation, channel 4 controls the prism rotation, and  

 

channel 5 selects one of the 10 internal  programs. See page 

 

15-16 for detailed description of the DMX traits.

2.  To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures 

 

on pages 8-10 as well as the set-up specifications that are 

 

included with your DMX controller. 

3.  Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.

4.  This will allow you to create your own programs.
5.  Follow the instruction on page 16 to set the DMX address. 
6.  For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on  

 

the last fixture.

7.  For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included  
 

with your DMX controller.

Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active): 

This mode allows a single

                  Operation

 Fantasy 250™ 

 

 

 

                  Operation

unit or several units linked together, to run to the beat of the music.  
1.  To operate the unit in Sound Active mode. “Flip” dipswitch #10 to  
 

the “on” position.

2.   The Fantasy 250™ will now react to the bass sound of music via  
 

the internal microphone.

Stand Alone Mode (Internal Program):

1.   To operate as a stand alone unit, via its internal program, “flip”   
 

dipswitch #12 to the “on” position.

2.  The Fantasy 250™ will now run its own internal program.
3.  You can also use the optional MINI/C Remote Control to activate  
 

the blackout function.

Master-Slave Operation: 

This function will allow you to link up to 

16 units together and operate without a controller. The units can be 
sound activate or run the Internal program. In Master-Slave operation 
one  unit  will  act  as  the  controlling  unit  and  the  others  will  react  to 
the controlling units movements and programs. Any unit can act as a 
Master or as a Slave.
1.   Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units  
 

together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remem- 

 

ber the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR    

 

connector is the output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use  

 

the female XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain will use  

 

the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a  

 

terminator at the last fixture.

2.  Designate one unit to be the Master by ‘flipping” dipswitch #11 to  
 

the “on” position.

3.  On the Slave units, leave all dipswitches in the “off” position.

4.  For Sound Active mode, “flip” dipswitch #10 to the “on” position,  

 

on the Master unit.    

5.  You can also use the optional MINI/C Remote Control to activate  
 

the blackout function. If you want to use the optional remote con-

 

trol, connect the MINI/C

 controller to the first fixture in the line
