Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-

age in your area matches the required voltage for your American DJ® Galaxian.™ The American DJ® Galaxian™ is available in a 120v and 220v version. Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure your unit voltage matches the wall outlet voltage

before attempting to operate you xture. Also be sure to only use the

included I.E.C. power cable supplied with the unit, this cable matches the voltage and current requirements of the unit.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-

tocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX

controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several

DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. Therefore, the first fixture controlled by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation): The Galaxian™

can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Galaxian™ is be a four channel DMX unit. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the rear panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data cable for data input and data output (Figure

own cables, be sure to use standard 110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all professional sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your own

cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.

Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-

When inserting standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

Galaxian™ Operation

Operating Modes: The Galaxian™ can operate in three different modes. In each mode you can run the fixture as a stand alone fixute or in a master/slave confiugration. This next section will detail the differences in the operating modes.

• Sound Active mode -

The fixture will react to sound, chasing through the built-in programs.

• Show mode - The fixture will run one of four shows that you choose.

• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation® Show Designer.

™

Master-Slave Operation This function will allow you to link up to 16

units together and operate without a controller. The units will be sound activated. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave.

1. Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units togeth- er via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector

is the output. The rst unit in the chain (master) will use the female

XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a termina tor at the last fixture.

2. On the Master unit find your desired show and set that show by pressing the ENTER button.

3. On the slave units tap the MENU button until “SLND” is dis-

played, and Press ENTER. Choose either “SL 1” or “SL 2” and

press ENTER. Please see page 11 for more info.

4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.

pages 16-17 for detailed description of the DMX values and traits.

2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures on pages 5-7 as well as the set-up specifications that are includ ed with your DMX controller.

3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.

4. This will allow you to create your own programs.

5. Follow the instruction on page 8 to set the DMX address.

6. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on the last fixture.

7. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX controller.

Sound Active Mode: This mode allows either single unit or several

units linked together, to run to the beat of the music.

1. Tap the MENU button until “SOUN” is displayed, and press

ENTER.

2. Tap the UP or DOWN buttonS until you nd your desired show,

and press ENTER.

3. The optional UC3 Controller (not included) may be used to con trol different functions including blackout.

Locate and remove the unit’s power cord. Once the cord has been removed located the fuse holder located inside the power socket. Insert a flat-head screw driver into the power socket and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace with a new one. The fuse holder has a built-in socket for a spare fuse be sure not to confuse the spare fuse with active fuse.

Galaxian Cleaning

Fixture Cleaning: Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning

the internal and external lenses should be carried out periodically to optimize light output.

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out side casing.

2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 20 days.

3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp beam output.

Trouble Shooting: Listed below are a few common problems that you may encounter, with solutions.

No light output from the unit;

1. Be sure you have connected your unit into a standard 120v wall outlet.

2. Be sure the external fuse has not blown. The fuse is located on the rear panel of the unit.

3. Be sure the fuse holder is completely and properly seated.

Unit does not respond to sound;

1. Low frequencies (bass) should cause the unit to react to sound. Tapping on the microphone, quiet or high pitched sounds may not activate the unit.
