1. Standalone 1unit:

Just connect the unit to the mains and put on some music. The unit will start working automatically to the rhythm of the music.

2. Two or more units in master/slave setup:

Connect 2 or more units together using good quality balanced XLR microphone cables . The unit that has no cable connected to its input will react as master; the others are the slave units.

1. Optical lens with manual focus adjustment

2. Hanging bracket with 2 knobs on both sides to fasten the unit and a mounting hole to fix a mounting

3. Mains input with IEC socket and integrated fuse holder, connect the supplied mains cable here.

4. ¼” jack used to connect an optional CA-8 controller.

5. Din-5pin input, used to connect an optional wireless receiver, named RF-8R.

6. DIP switches, used to set the DMX-starting address of the unit.

7. DMX input: 3pin male XLR-connector used to connect universal DMX-cables. This input receives

instructions from a DMX-controller or from another Led Micro Scan light effect when used in master/slave mode.

8. DMX output: 3pin female XLR-connector used to connect the Led Micro Scan with the next unit in the

DMX chain or with another Led Micro Scan when used in master/slave mode.

OVERHEAD RIGGING Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety. Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing. Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The fixture must be fixed at least 20cm from surrounding walls. The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated. Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s weight. Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails. The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered! Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating. The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is still optimal. JB SYSTEMS® 3/36

Don’t forget to set the DMX addresses as follows: Master unit: DMX start address MUST be set to 001. (first DIP switch = ON, all other are OFF) Slave units: DMX start address may have any value but NOT 001 (example: set the first 3 DIP switches to ON) It is possible to inverse the behavior of a slave unit by changing the position of DIP-switch n°10. Just try it and see if the effect becomes better. Changing DIP-switch n°10 on the master has no effect.

3. Connect the optional CA-8 or RF-8 controller for more control:

The CA-8 or RF-8 controller can only be used in standalone or master/slave mode: CA-8 wired remote: Connect the controller to the jack input of the first unit (master). RF-8SET wireless remote: the wireless remote has two parts: RF-8T: small RF-transmitter that can control up to 5 effects. RF-8R: small RF-receiver that should be connected to the DIN 5pin input of the LED MICRO SCAN. See the installation manual of the receiver for more information. Now you can control all the connected units: STANDBY BUTTON: Press this button to start/stop blackout mode on all connected units. MODE/FUNCTION BUTTONS: With the MODE button you can select 3 different modes: The LED is off: with the FUNCTION button you can select 3 different strobe functions. The LED is on: with the FUNCTION button you can select different shows. The LED is blinking: With the FUNCTION button you can select the desired gobo/color.

4. Controlled by universal DMX-controller:

The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected light effects with a good quality XLR M/F JB SYSTEMS® 4/36

ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won’t work! Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the controller it has to decode. How to set the DIP-switches to obtain the right starting address: On the back of the Led Micro Scan you will see that each of the first 9 DIP-switches corresponds to certain value: Dip

Invert slave You can combine the values of these switches to become any starting address between 1 and 512: Begin address = 01 switch 1=ON values: 1 Begin address = 05 switch 1+3=ON values: 1+4 = 5 Begin address = 09 switch 1+4=ON values: 1+8 = 9 Begin address = 13 switch 1+3+4=ON values: 1+4+8 = 13 Begin address = 62 switch 2+3+4+5+6=ON values: 2+4+8+16+32 = 62 DMX-CONFIGURATION OF LED MICRO SCAN: ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet. The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics. Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products. Always dry the parts carefully. Clean the external optics at least once every 30 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 90 days. Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
