Appendix A - DMX Dip Switch Value Guide
DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals.
Addresses on Mojo series products are set by flipping appropriate DMX dip
switches.
To do this, you need to know that DMX dip switches have the following values:
#1=1; #2=2; #3=4; #4=8; #5=1; #6=32; #7=64; #8=128; #9=256. And you need
to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values.
TM
For example, standard DMX addresses for four Mojo Scan I , each of which
has four channels as Follow:
MJC-1XA,1YA Address Value DMX Dip Switches "ON"
Unit 1 1 #1
Unit 2 4 #3
Unit 3 7 #1 & #2, #3
Unit 4 10 #2, #4
Explanation: Since each unit has four channels, each address advances four
values (See Address Value above).
Once address values are figured out, add DMX dip switch values to obtain the
appropriate address (DMX Dip Switches "ON") for each unit. Flip appropriate
DMX dip switches on each unit.

Maintenance
TM
Mojo Scan I scanner require almost no maintenance. However, you should:
!Keep the unit clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, then wipe the cover with a
damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and a soft
cloth. Clean internal components about once a year with a light brush and vacuum
cleaner. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
!Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, then wipe the DMX and audio
connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before
linking equipment or supplying electric power.
Changing the Lamp
If electrical power is supplied and the lamp does not light, it may be time to change
the lamp.
Replacing a Fuse
Power surges or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn
out. If the fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens,
replace the fuse as follows:
1) Unplug the unit from electric power source.
2) Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover (C in figure 5). Gently pry
up the fuse cover.
3) Note two fuses: The replacement fuse is covered; The used fuse has both ends
exposed. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
4) Push the replacement fuse out of its cover, then insert the replacement fuse into the
holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover.
Products are packed with a replacement fuse. If your replacement fuse is missing, a
new one can be purchased at an electric appliance store. Be sure to use a fuse of the
same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.
Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems. If a problem occurs,
carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates
properly, do not carry out following steps. If the effect does not operate properly, refer

Getting Ready
All Geni products are thoroughly tested at the factory and shipped in perfect
condition. If damage has occurred during shipping or if components are
missing, please contact your Geni dealer immediately.
Your package should include:
TM
(1) One Mojo Scan I scanner lighting with bracket.
(2) One IEC electric mains power cord with plug.
(3) One product user manual.
The lamp may or may not be included, depending on your Geni dealer. In most
cases, the lamp is not included.
Install the Lamp (MJC-1XA)
MJC-1XA use either the GX5.3 24V/250W lamp by Osram or the ELC lamp of
identical specifications by Philips. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.
Note that product versions that use other lamps may be offered in the future.
Check your product specification label for information.
Lamp Installation (MJC-1XA)
(1) Loosen the two screws on the top of the lamp cover. Open the case.
(2) Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass. (See Figure 1.)
Oil on hands shortens the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off
the glass with a clean, lint-free towel and rubbing alcohol.)
(3) Hold the lamp socket with one hand. Insert the lamp pins into the holes in
the lamp socket.
(4) Make sure that the lever is up. Slide the lamp into the lamp base.
(5) Put on the lamp cover and fasten the screws snugly.

Unit 1 #1
Unit 2 #3
Unit 3 #1#2#3
Unit 4 #2#4
For more units, continue to use standard DMX dip switch settings. See
Appendix 1 for details.
4. On the last in a series of units, flip "on" the Terminate dip switch (Term.
dip switch). This keeps the signal clear. Make sure other function dip
switches are "off".
5. Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's
IEC socket , then plug the other end of the mains power
cord into proper electric power supply sockets. Do so for all units and the
controller.
(see figure 5)
Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and
connected properly.
6. Design your show according to your DMX controller functions. Do
not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected
properly.DMX channel functions are shown on pages 6.
Product Operation Overview
In audio mode (func. dip switch "on"), choose various shows by flipping regular dip
switches on the first unit. For example, for a slow, four-unit audio show, flip "on" func.
dip switch on the first unit to activate audio mode, then flip regular dip switches #2 and
#6 "on" to activate a slow-paced, four-unit audio show. (See the following Function
Channel Chart.)
Do not activate audio dip switches on following units, but set their DMX channels
according to regular DMX procedures. (See Appendix 1 for an introduction to DMX dip
switch settings.)
One final note: Terminate all systems by flipping "on" the (Term.) Dip switch on the last
unit. This preserves clear signal transmission in both audio and DMX modes.

Set Up and Operation
TM
The set up and operation of all Mojo Scan I scanner is similar. The main difference is
that function channels of various items vary, so that dip switch settings differ slightly.
Follow directions below as they pertain to your particular product and your preferred
operation mode.
Before plugging unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product
specification voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V
power, or vice versa.
One-unit Audio Effect
(1) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-clamp
fastened onto the MJC-1 bracket). Leave at least one meter on all sides for air
circulation.
(2) Flip "on" Func. dip switch #1 and regular dip switch #1.
(3) Plug one end of the electric mains power cord into the IEC socket on the unit. (See
figure 5, page 9.) Then plug the other end of the cord into a proper electric power
supply socket.
(4) Turn on the music. The scanner will change to the music.
Four-unit Audio
1. Fasten the effect lights onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-clamp
bolted onto the MJC-1 bracket). Leave at least one meter on all sides for air
circulation.
2. Link the units as shown in (figure 3), Connect a DMX signal cable from the first
unit's DMX "out" socket to the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link
the second, third, and fourth units.
3. Activate audio control: On the first unit, flip "on" func. dip switch .
Terminate the system: On the last unit, flip "on" Term. dip switch .
4. Set DMX dip switches as follows.
MJC-1XA,1YA Dip ON
Unit 1 #2
Unit 2 #3
Unit 3 #1 #2 #3
Unit 4 #2 #4
5. Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's IEC
socket (see figure 5), then plug the other end of the mains power cord into
proper electric power supply sockets, starting with the first unit. Do not supply
6. Turn on the music.
Note that up to 64 units can be connected and operated in audio mode. To do
so, flip on DMX dip switch #1 on the 5th, 9th, 13th, etc., unit. Then repeat
settings on following units, so 6th, 10th, 14th, etc., unit DMX settings =
unit 2 Settings: 7th, 11th, 15th, etc., Unit DMX settings = unit 3 settings;
8th, 12th,16th unit settings = unit 4 settings.
DMX Control
1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-
TM
clamp bolted onto the Mojo Scan I bracket). Leave at least one
meter on all sides for air circulation.
2. Link the units as shown in Figure 4. Plug a DMX signal cable from the
controller to the first unit's DMX "in" socket. Then plug a DMX signal cable
from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to the second unit's "in" socket.
Repeat this process to link following units.
