Operation
CAUTION IMPORTANT! When installing this projector, make sure
that it is mounted in a manner that prevents the audience from
looking directly into the beam, and the beam from striking the
audience.
Operating Modes: The Ruby Royal has three different operat-
ing modes.
Universal DMX Control:
This function allows you to use a Elation
®
universal DMX-512 controller to control the individual lasers, patterns,
rotation, movement, and zoom. A DMX controller allows you to create
unique programs tailored to your individual needs.
1. The Ruby Royal is a six channel DMX fixture. See pages 17-18 for
detailed description of the DMX values and 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 includ-
ed with your DMX controller.
3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.
This will allow you to create your own programs.
4. Follow the instruction on page 11 to set the DMX address.
5. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on
the last fixture.
6. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.
Sound Active Mode (Stand Alone or Master-Slave):
This mode
allows either single unit or several units linked together, to run to the
beat of the music.
1. Press the MENU button until “
SOUN
” is displayed, and press
ENTER.
2.
Press the UP or DOWN buttons so that “
ON
” is displayed, and
press ENTER to confirm and then hold MENU for at least 2-3 sec-
onds.

Ruby Royal
Operation
With this feature you can connect the fixtures to one another
using the IEC input and output sockets. The quantity that can be
connected is 18 fixtures maximum. After 18 fixtures you will need
to use a new power outlet. They must be the same fixtures. DO
NOT mix fixtures.
Ruby Royal Power Cord Daisy Chain
Master-Slave Configuration:
This function will allow you to link
up to 16 units together and operate without a controller. The units will
be sound activated. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the
controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units pro-
grams. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1. Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units togeth-
er via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember 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 termina-
tor at the last fixture.
2. Set your Master unit to your desired operating mode.
3. On the slave units press the MENU button until “
SLND
” is dis-
played, and press ENTER. Choose either “
SL 1
” or “
SL 2
” and
press ENTER. See page 12 for more info.
4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.
