DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never
remove any covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐
tective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so
could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis‐
tered electrician.

WARNING!
Eye damage caused by high light intensity
The lamp used in this device produces an intense beam of visible and invisible
light radiation.
Do not start the operation of the device without completely fixed covers. Never
look directly into the light source.
WARNING!
Risk of epileptic shock
Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy. Sensitive persons
should avoid looking at strobe lights.

WARNING!
Risk of burns
The surface of the device can become very hot during operation.
Do not touch the device with bare hands during operation, and after switching
off wait for at least 15 minutes.
Safety notes

CAUTION!
Risk of injury due to mirror movements
The mirror mounted at the device head may perform very fast movements (pan,
tilt) and reflect very bright light. This is also the case immediately after switching
on the device, with automatic or remote operation, and while a connected DMX
controller is in off state. Persons who are in the immediate vicinity of the device
may be injured or frightened by this.
Make sure that there are no obstacles within the movement range of the mirror,
and that no persons are in the immediate vicinity of the device before switching it
on and during its operation. If any work is to be carried out within the movement
range or in the immediate vicinity of the mirror, the device must remain switched
off.
NOTICE!
Risk of fire
Do not cover the device nor any ventilation slots. Do not place the device near
any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked flames.

NOTICE!
Operating conditions
This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never
expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and
strong vibrations.
NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches
the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual
current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and
possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long
periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.

4 Installation
Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the

WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and regulations in
your country. Always secure the unit by a second fastening, such as a retaining
cable or safety chain.
The load capacity of trusses or other fixtures must be sufficient for the intended
number of devices. Note that the movement of the head will cause additional
loads to the load-bearing parts.
NOTICE!
Risk of overheating
The distance between the light output and the illuminated surface must be more
than 0.5 m (19.7 in).
Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
The ambient temperature must always be below 40 °C (104 °F).

NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors
For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordi‐
nary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX output to audio devices such as mixers or amplifiers.
The unit offers a 3-pin XLR socket for DMX output and a 3-pin XLR plug for DMX input. Please
refer to the drawing and table below for pin assignment.

5 Setup
Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched off. Use the shortest possible high-
quality cables for all connections.
Setup
LED scanner
18

Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX
device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on
to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain
is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼W).
Connections in DMX mode
Setup

19

While the device and the DMX controller are in operation, a flashing white rectangle (DMX
indicator) in the display shows that a DMX signal is present at the input.
When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will control the
other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This function is ideal when
you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the
DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the DMX output of the first slave device to
the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.
