7. Please follow the chart on page 13 for all slave dipswitch settings.
Note only one fixture may use the master units dip switch settings
(see Page 13).
8. After all the units settings have been set and are plugged in, adjust
the sensitivity knob on the bottom of the master unit to make them
react to sound.
9. You can also use the optional MINI/C Remote Control. If you want
to use the optional remote control, connect the MINI/C controller
to the first fixture in the line (master). Note: The remote control
only operates in Stand-Alone and Master/Slave modes. If the
remote is connected in DMX mode it will not function.
DMX Mode: This fixture will react with DMX operation. For best
results use only one motor function for each scene (or step), when
programming scenes into a DMX controller. This will give you faster
mirror and faster gobo/color changes. For Example:
A. With DMX controller move the mirror up then program the step.
B. Move the mirror down then program that step.
C. Change the gobo/color wheel then program that step.
D. Continue this pattern to achieve best results.
1. Operating through a DMX controller allows users to create custom
programs tailored to their individual needs. This function also
allows you to use your fixtures as spots.
2. This operation will allow you to control each individual fixtures
traits with a standard DMX 512 controller such as the American DJ
Show Designer™ or the American DJ
® DMX Operator.™
3. The DJ Roller™ uses four DMX channels to operate; Channel 1
is Rotation, channel 2 is Tilt, channel 3 is Color change, and
channel 4 Gobo change.
4. To run your fixture in DMX mode, plug in the fixture via the XLR
connections to any standard DMX controller. - Follow the set-up
specifications that come with the controller.
5. Set the proper fixture DMX address. The DMX address is adjusted
with the dipswitches on the bottom panel of the unit. Page 13
Details a DMX chart. Please note that the chart on page 13 is set-
up as a guide only. For proper DMX addressing please refer to the
DMX binary rules on page 6.

get a synchronized light show that will react to sound chasing
through several built in programs.

individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512 controller such as
the American DJ Show Designer.

1. To operate as a stand alone unit, via its internal chases and
microphone, turn all dip switches off (see Page 13; Master/Slave).

the master unit’s internal programs.

and the others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit
can act as a Master or as a Slave.
