A. Microswitches from 1 to 11:

For DMX address setting and programming.

B. Microswitch 12:

To select operating mode:
The ON setting enables SLAVE mode.
The OFF setting enables MASTER mode.

C. Led "DMX" (green):

When on, it indicates that a DMX input signal
is present and that the starting address is
valid.

When flashing, it indicates that no DMX input
signal is present or that the starting address is
not valid.

D. Led "OUT" (yellow):

When on, it indicates that the projector is in
Master mode and can control other projectors.

E. "DMX" address:

This is the sum of values corresponding to the
microswitches set to ON.

AUTOMATIC MODE

In automatic, the projector may be configured in two different modes: SLAVE and
MASTER

1) SLAVE Mode: (microswitch 12 set to ON) The projector receives a DMX signal and

carries out the sequences transmitted from a main projector configured in

MASTER

mode.
The projectors should have address

1 (see programming automatic SLAVE mode).

OPERATION WITH CONTROL UNIT (DMX mode)

All the projectors must be configured in SLAVE mode (Microswitch 12 set to ON); the
projector receives a DMX signal and carries out the controls transmitted from the
control unit.

2)

MASTER Mode: (microswitch 12 set to OFF) The projector generates a DMX signal
that can pilot other projectors in

SLAVE mode.

In this case, there should be no DMX signal.

Example:

Microswitch 1 set to ON - corresponding value = 1
Microswitch 3 set to ON - corresponding value = 4

Set address 4 + 1 = 5

The address can also be set with the projector switched off.
Since the projectors use two channels, the first one should have address

1; the second

one address 3; the third one address 5 and so on.
For the last address, you have to consider the channels used by the last projector so as

not to exceed the maximum value of valid addresses (511).

LAMP OPERATION

There are two ways of defining the colour disc operating mode:

1) By setting a sequence of colours (the disc turns stopping on selected colours and
stays on each colour for the time that has been set).

2) By continuously rotating the colour disc (the disc stops on all of the colours without
the possibility of setting the amount of time.)

• Colour sequence setting

Set the microswitches (from 1÷7) corresponding
to the colours you wish to put in the sequence,
to

ON.

N.B.: When one colour is selected, that colour

will be projected permanently.

• Continuous Colour Disc Rotation

Leave the microswitches (from 1÷7) on OFF to continuously rotate the colour disc.

In this case, set microswitch 11 to ON to rotate
the disc at a speed of 1 rpm. If it is set to OFF,
the disc rotates at a speed of 2 rpm.
