User Instructions

1) Unpacking unit

Unpack unit carefully, and inspect unit for any damage or missing pieces. Items included are:

1pc...light fixture1pc…lamp1pc…ac power cord1pc…XLR/XLR cable1pc…owner’s manual1pc...safety cable

2) Lamp Installation

- Be sure AC power to unit is disconnected before continuing. - Unscrew the 4 piece allen cap screws on bottom cover housing. - Insert lamp into lamp socket, be sure lamp is fully seated into lamp socket. Insert lamp assembly into side clips located on metal plate in unit. Be careful not to touch the actual bulb itself with your fingers, just the glass reflector housing around the bulb, to prevent shortened lamp life. - Reinstall the 4 allen cap screws on bottom cover housing.

3) Hanging unit and placing of the unit

- Attach a heavy duty clamp (not included) to mounting bracket and tighten all hardware. - Attach a safety cable (included) to mounting bracket of unit and a secure point to where you plan on hanging the fixture from such as truss, lighting stand, etc. Be sure these hanging locations can handle the weight of the fixture. - Use unit in a dry, indoor location only. - Keep minimum distance of at least 12” – 18” around unit for proper airflow operation. Do not block the airflow to the fan. - Keep unit away from flammable objects such as curtains, drapes, etc.

4) Data Cable (DMX cable) Requirements

This fixture requires a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output. Be sure cable is a 2conductor shielded type construction. Also, be sure that the cable shield is not connected to the ground lug or allow the shieldconductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield will cause a short circuit and erratic behavior. Alsoremember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be “Y” split.

5) Master/Slave Music mode

- Be sure AC power to all units is off before continuing next steps.

- Daisy chain your units via the XLR conductors on rear side of units. Remember that the Male XLRconnector is the input and the Female conductor is the output.

- The first unit is the chain (Master) will use the Female XLR connector only. And the last unit in the chainwill use the Male XLR connector only.

- Set (Master Unit) dipswitch #10 on only, all others off. All other (Slave units) set dipswitch #1 on only,and all others off. - Be sure only (Master unit) has dipswitch #10 on, and not any of the (Slave units) to prevent damage tounits!!! - Plug units into AC power source.

- Units will run in sync operation by sound being picked up by the microphone in the unit. - The RED LED located near dipswitch will pulsate to audio beats on (Master unit) only indicating audio signalbeing detected and flash constantly on (Slave units) indicating the unit is receiving signal. - See Master/Slave dipswitch chart section #8 for settings.

6) Single Unit Mode

Set dipswitches #9 and 10 on only. Unit will go through its self-programmed internal programs with no musicneeded.

7) DMX Controller Mode

- The units use 6 DMX channels to operate - DMX Ch. 1 = color wheel

Page 3: NovaScan Manual

- DMX Ch. 2 = gobo wheel - DMX Ch. 3 = mirror rotation and speed - DMX Ch. 4 = pan - DMX Ch. 5 = tilt - DMX Ch. 6 = dimmer - RED LED located near dipswitch will flash constantly when receiving DMX signal.

8) Dipswitches in DMX mode

This unit uses dip switches to assign a DMX address. East dip switch represents a binary value.

Dipswitch 1=1 Dipswitch 4=8 Dipswitch7=64Dipswitch 2=2 Dipswitch 5=16 Dipswitch8=128Dipswitch 3=4 Dipswitch 6=32 Dipswitch9=256

Each dip switch has preset value. A specific DMX address is set by combining the dip switch that sum up yourdesired value.

For example, to achieve a DMX address of 22, you must combine dip switches 2, 3 and 5. Since dipswitch 2has a value of 2, dip switch 3 has a value of 4 and dip switch 5 has a value of 16. The total sum of themcreate a DMX value of 22.

Set DMX address 22 Set DMX address 101Dip switches on #2=2 Dipswitches on #7=65Dipswitches on #3=4 Dipswitches on 6=32Dipswitches on #5=16 Dipswitches on #4=4Total = 22 Total = 101

- Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.

- Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.

- Clean the lens and mirrors with glass cleaner and soft rag. - Be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back into AC power source.
