Overhead rigging The installation of the device has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation. The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.51839285_V_1_1.DOC 25/60 When rigging, derigging or servicing the device staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges,

nder high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden. The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.

he operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test. The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year. Procedure: The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated. IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property. The device has to be installed out of the reach of people. If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room. Caution: Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the device! Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device's weight. DANGEROFFIRE! Wheninstallingthedevice,makesurethereisnohighly-inflammable material(decorationarticles,etc.)withinadistanceofmin.0.5m. Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp. For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 12 times the weight of the fixture. You must only use safety-ropes with quick link with screw cap. Pull the safety-rope through the attachment eyelet and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw. The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm. A safety rope which already held the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again. Adjust the desired inclination-angle via the mounting-bracket and tighten the fixation screws. DANGERTOLIFE!

Press it again to confirm. Control LED: Red: Power on Yellow: DMX Out (Sound/Auto mode) Green: DMX In51839285_V_1_1.DOC 27/60 Blackout-socket If you wish to lock the light output - e.g. via an optional footswitch (Blackout-mode) or an Easy-2 remote control, connect your footswitch or Easy-2 remote control via a mono-jack plug to the Blackout-socket. Contact closure between tip and sleeve is reached when the footswitch is employed. DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly. Please note, the starting address depends upon which controller is being used. Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another. Occupation of the XLR-connection: If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.51839285_V_1_1.DOC 28/60 Building a serial DMX-chain:

onnect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected. Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture. Connection with the mains Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable. The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows: Cable Pin International Brown Live L Blue Neutral N Yellow/Green Earth The earth has to be connected!If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with aminimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC-standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximumfault current of 30 mA.Lighting effects must not be connected to dimming-packs. OPERATION After you connected the effect to the mains, the DJ-SCAN 600 starts running. During the Reset, the motorsare trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards. Stand Alone operation In the Stand Alone mode, the DJ-SCAN 600 can be used without controller. You can do without a controlleras the DJ-SCAN 600 features a built-in microphone, which provides automatic sound control.Disconnect the DJ-SCAN 600 from the controller and select the desired "Master Mode”.If you have connected a footswitch to the Blackout-socket, you can lock the light output (Blackout-mode) andturn it on again. Master/Slave-operation Connect the master and slave-devices and adjust the settings as desribed above. DMX-controlled operation You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a differentoccupation with different features. In order to call up the different features, you first have to open the lightoutput (control channel 6, DMX-value 250-255).51839285_V_1_1.DOC 29/60 Addressing The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel from which the DJ-SCAN 600 will respond to the controller.

lease, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each DJ-SCAN 600 correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more DJ-SCAN 600 are addressed similarly, they will work similarly. To set DMX address for the device, press the encoder and turn it clock-wise to increase the value and

ounter-clockwise to decrease it. Press encoder again to confirm. Controlling: After having addressed all DJ-SCAN 600, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller. Note: After switching on, the DJ-SCAN 600 will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If the data is received, the green control LED lights up. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the green control LED does not light up. This situation can occur if: - the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the DJ-SCAN

- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the input connector. Note: It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link. DMX-protocol Control-channel 1 - Horizontal movement (Pan) Push slider up in order to move the mirror horizontally (PAN). Gradual mirror adjustment from one end of the slider to the other (0-255, 128-center). The mirror can be stopped at any position you wish. Control-channel 2 - Vertical movement (Tilt) Push slider up in order to move the mirror vertically (TILT). Gradual mirror adjustment from one end of the slider to the other (0-255, 128-center). The mirror can be stopped at any position you wish. Control-channel 3 - Colour-wheel Linear colour change following the movement of the slider.
