7. Please follow chart on page 12 for all slave dipswitch settings. Note
only one fixture may use the master units dip switch settings (see
Page 12).
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.

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. If the units do not receive an active DMX signal, the
units will automatically react to sound in the Master/Slave mode.
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 gives the user freedom to
create his/her own programs tailored to their own 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 Scan/RG™ uses four DMX channels to operate; Channel 1
is Pan, channel 2 is Tilt, channel 3 is Color, and channel 4 Gobos.
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.
