Operation and Mounting
To activate the device, plug it into a mains socket. Once it's connected to an active power source, it will turn
on automatically.
During start-up, the device’s display will indicate its start-up status and can’t be used. The moving head may
vibrate as it calibrates the stepper motors. Once the device has fully started up, it will jump to the last-used
mode. Operation modes and other settings shown on the display can now be adjusted or changed by means
of the menu buttons.
Should the device detect a DMX signal, it will automatically switch to DMX mode and will display the last-
used address. For new devices, this will normally be DMX address 001. Of course, you can change the DMX
address via the display using the menu buttons.
Using the display and the menu buttons, you can adjust the functions and settings of the device. Press
'Enter' to confirm an adjustment or select a function, use ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ to change values press ‘Menu’ to
go back to the menu.
By holding down the ‘Menu’ button for two seconds having pressed ‘Enter’ to save any changes made, you
shall be returned to the main menu and the saved changes will now be active. This is usually done after
changing operating modes or the DMX address. This action does not necessarily have to be carried out, as
the device will automatically return and activate any changes made a couple seconds after confirming a
change in settings.
The menu contains the following options and functions:
Display Mode Function

The different functions e plained:
ADDR:
With this function, you can determine the DMX start address of the device. Set it channel 001, and the
device will read DMX channel 1. Set it to channel 003, then the device will read DMX channel 3, etc.
CHAN: This device can make use of many DMX channel modes. There’s a simplified channel mode for use
as part of a rather complete DMX circuit and e tensive control over the functions is not required. It’s also
possible to use the most e tensive channel mode, allowing for more available channels, each with a different
assigned function.
LND: The Master-Slave mode is designed to sync multiple devices. A copy of the internal program is sent
to the daisy-chained devices so that each one projects the same effect. The master-slave function works by
means of standard 3-pin XLR cables. The only difference is that the first device in the chain does not receive
DMX input.
PLEASE NOTE: When Slave mode is activated, the device will wait for a signal from the Master device. It is
not possible to simply select an automatic or sound-controlled mode! To cancel this, select 'NAST' mode in
the SLND menu, so the device goes to Master mode. Then, all standalone functions can be activated.
COLO: Choose 1 out of 15 colour presets and add optional stroboscope effects.
JUMP: Automatic program with slow or fast colour alternating and the option to add a stroboscope effect.
FADE: Automatic program with slow or fast colour transitions and the option to add a stroboscope effect.
MANU: Manual colour mi ing function. Set the master level, add an optional stroboscope effect and adjust
each base colour value (red, green, blue, white) to mi a custom colour.
OUN: This option allows you to turn the device’s microphone function on or off.
EN : This mode allows you to adjust the internal microphone’s sensitivity. The further away the device is
from the speaker(s), the more sensitivity is required so the device responds properly to the music. The
microphone is capable of handling high sound pressures but the louder the signal and sensitivity, the more it
will have difficulty matching the beat of the music. E periment with sensitivity levels and device positioning
for optimal signal transfer.
DIMC: Adjust the LED engine’s dim curve to simulate a halogen lamp, for e ample. Make sure to e periment
with the different dimming curves as each has its own effect on dimming the LED in respect to increasing or
decreasing DMX values.
BLND: Set the device’s behaviour in case of DMX signal loss. Choose ‘NO’ if you want the device to switch
to a stand-alone preset in case of DMX signal loss. Choose ‘YES’ if you want the device to default to
Blackout mode in case of DMX signal loss until a DMX signal has been re-established.
LED: If the LED display is not in use, it can be de-activated by turning the LED mode OFF. The red symbols
will no longer light up when using the device in a dark environment. Press one of the menu buttons and the
display will light up again and show any relevant information. If the device registers that the menu is not
actively being used, it will automatically turn off within 30 seconds.
DI P: This function determines whether the display is shown normally or inverted. If the device is
suspended, the display may be harder to read. This function allows you to rotate it vertically for better
legibility.
TE T: Should the device need cleaning or maintenance, this function can be used to test one or more
devices simultaneously. The device plays a continuous program while the step motors and LEDs are used.
This way you can quickly detect any abnormalities or defects. The device will run the program until stopped
manually (for e ample when the sound-controlled mode is activated.)

HOUR: If this device is used professionally or rented, it should be regularly maintained and inspected in
between use. The HOUR function shows e actly how long the device has been in use. This amount of time
accumulates over time as long as the device is being used and cannot be manipulated by the user.
Operating Modes
The following overview is designed to show the differences between the various operation modes that are
supported by the above-mentioned menu functions.
Auto:
In automatic mode, choose one of the operating modes where the device is not dependent on e ternal
factors (such as a sound-controlled signals or the presence of noise). Choose one of the basic programs and
set the options such as the switching speed or the intensity correction, if desired.
ound:
When in Sound-controlled mode, the device's internal microphone detects the music and reacts to the beat.
The device will move in sync with the music and provide an automated light show.
When there is no music for the device to detect or when only high frequencies are audible, the device will
continue its program at a slower pace, so the light show will not stop abruptly. As soon as the microphone
detects music again, it will resume the automated program and follow the beat.
lave
In Slave mode, you can daisy-chain multiple devices of the same type so they all function a specific way.
This way you can coordinate your light show by having multiple separate devices moving the same way
instead of all different directions, which can be chaotic. Basically, you can connect an unlimited number of
slave devices to a master device, but a DMX booster is required in between. Generally speaking, you can
connect up to four armatures together without the need for a DMX booster.
Be aware that when you attempt to connect devices of different types and brands, they may behave
strangely and you may not get the desired effect because certain functions are linked to the wrong channels.
This is true of DMX lighting of all brands and types.
DMX
The DMX mode is the most comprehensive way to maintain ultimate control over all the functions this device
has to offer. It enables you to determine e actly how many functions you want to control via the DMX
controller or DMX software.
This device can be set to various channel modes so the channel layout, which is shown below, corresponds
perfectly with your DMX circle layout, as well as with the functions you will be using.

Installation and connection requirements
Now that you know how the TDC Disco Base works, it's important to know how to use it correctly and safely,
according to the installation and connection requirements.
Make sure the device and connection cables are out of reach of children, and that if children are present,
they are under adult supervision at all times. Because this device can be used upright or suspended,
children could pull on the cables, causing the device to fall on top of them. To avoid injury, it is important to
pay close attention to the position and/or installation of this device.
Upright use
The TDC Disco Base is e clusively suited for suspended use and is not suitable to be placed on a DJ booth,
table, et cetera.
When suspending the TDC Disco Base, use the included suspension bracket and mounting materials.
If you want to mount a half coupler or a G-hook to the brackets, it is advised to do this before mounting the
brackets to the armature. You can find standard hooks and/or brackets for 35 or 50mm tubes (truss or light
stand) at your local dealer.
Hardware for mounting the TDC Disco Base to a wall, ceiling, or beam is not included. Contact a specialist if
you're not sure which hardware is required for your situation. A wooden beam and stone wall require
different mounting methods.
Should you want to suspend the TDC Disco Base, you will need to attach a safety cable to the armature.
This is not included, but is available at your local dealer. The TDC Disco Base is equipped with an eyelet for
hooking a safety cable. Once it's hooked on, you can wrap the cable around the truss or light stand and
attach it again by means of the same hook. This ensures the device is secured and prevents it from falling,
even if one or both of the brackets should come loose.
Ensure that the safety cable has a load capacity of 10 the weight of the armature and that the device can
not fall farther than 30 cm. You can wrap the safety cable around the truss or light stand several times to
ensure the fall is as short as possible. The shorter the fall, the less chance of damage or injury.
tep motor load capacity
The TDC Disco Base is fitted with a step motor to which a mirror ball or mirror object can be attached. The
step motor’s a le features an eye to attach a mirror ball or object via a ring, carabiner hook or chain,
depending on size and purpose.
There is room on this device to fit a mirror ball of up to 30 cm (20 cm is recommended) or an object less than
0.5 kg in weight. Please note: This weight is added to the load capacity of the suspension bracket and safety
cable.
Light source
The TDC Disco Base contains powerful LED modules that create an even more powerful effect thanks to a
special lens that bundles the beams together. Never look directly into the lens at close range, as the human
eye can't adjust to the sudden intensity of the beam of light this device produces. It won't result in permanent
damage, but it can cause temporary blind spots, which may cause disorientation and discomfort.
Cooling
The TDC Disco Base is cooled via various cooling slits in the housing. Fans will be activated when the
device is turned on. Make sure the fans and vents are not blocked and regularly check that they are
functioning normally. Be aware that should the fans suck in substances like dust, smoke and moisture, this
may impair their operation and shorten the life of the device.
Parts and repair
This product does not include spare parts and can not be repaired by the user. All inspections and overall

maintenance should be done by a specialist.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the e terior of this device monthly with a dry, or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Ensure that the device
is unplugged before cleaning it.
Check if all the screws are intact and secured and tighten or replace them where needed. Check all metal
parts of the device for any signs of corrosion. If corrosion is found, the device needs to be checked
thoroughly.
Power output
The TDC Disco Base is fitted with a standard IEC connector power input as well as a power transfer output
via a contra-connector. This makes it possible to link multiple devices with one single power supply, wall
socket or power block.
The input and output are linked and not equipped with a fuse. Due to its low peak power, the device itself
also does not contain a fuse. Please note, the standard IEC C13/C14 connector used in this armature can
handle a ma imum of 13A.
Because of 230V group can handle a ma imum of 10A and the TDC Disco Base consumes power itself, the
output can take a ma imum load of 10A from linked devices. This also includes a calculated safety margin.
DMX terminator
In DMX mode, it’s standard practice to place a terminator at the end of a DMX circuit. A DMX terminator is an
electrical termination consisting of a 120 Ohm resistor, that’s placed between the second and third pin to
eliminate possible data reflections. Data reflections can cause strange behaviour in DMX-controlled devices.
DMX-terminators are sold separately but you may yourself decide to solder a 120 Ohm resistor between the
second and third pin of a standard male XLR connector.
