convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
fixture.

Saga II™ Operation
Power Supply:
Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source voltage in your
area matches the required voltage for your American DJ® Saga II.™
The American DJ® Saga II™ is available in a 120v and 220v version.
Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, be sure to plug
your fixture into a wall outlet with a matching power supply before
attempting to operate.
General Operation:
This fixture is designed to operate as a stand alone unit, there is no
need of a controller. The Saga II™ is ready to be plugged in, out of
the box. If there is no lamp output check the breaker and bulb. If the
breaker and bulb are good, please contact our toll free customer sup-
port number for further instructions. Please do not return the unit to
your dealer without first contacting customer support.
Mode Switches:
The Sage come with two mode switches on the rear of the unit.
Switch 1 controls the reflector dish, switch 2 controls the gobo wheel.
When the switches are in the up position (“I”) the wheels will rotate in
a continuous rotation regardless of sound. When the switches are in
the middle position (“0”) the wheels will remain static (no rotation).
When the switches are in the down position (“II”) the wheels will react
to sound. Each wheel may be operated separately, so one wheel may
be controlled by sound while the other may be in a rotating in con-
tinuous motion.

Fixture Cleaning:
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the fixture should be
carried out periodically to optimize light output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing every 20 days.
2. Use a small brush and normal glass cleaner with a soft cloth to
wipe down the inside casing every 30-60 days.
3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the
unit back in.
4. Frequent cleaning will extend lamp life and ensure fixture reliability.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy use we rec-
ommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure
longevity, and crisp beam output.
