CAUTION
The SX4® Disc Tray fits in the same SX4® housing as the Loop,
Six-Gobo and Four-Gobo Trays. It utilizes the same DMX Dual
Power Supply as the Six and Four-Gobo Tray.
Select speed and direction of rotation using the 4 Channel and
Mode Selection switches mounted on the Dual Power Supply.
In this mode of operation, the unit will turn on and off when you
power it. To operate in this fashion, follow the
following instructions:
X100 sets clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation.
Odd numbers (1,3,5) set counter-clockwise, even numbers set clockwise.
X10 and X1 sets speed of rotation.
X10 at 0 and X1 at 0 is slowest rotation.
X10 at 6 and X1 at 3 is fastest possible rotation.
Set channel selection with X100, X10, X1 to desired DMX channel. Example: X100 at 0, X10 at 0, X1 at 1 means
unit will operate on DMX channel one. Run the fader up and down. 0% to 50% is fast to slow Clockwise.
51% to 100% is slow to fast counter clockwise.
TO CONTROL YOUR DISC TRAY WITH A DMX SIGNAL. In order to do that, you will use the mode and
channel select switches on the DMX Control Dual Power Supply
, and follow the following
procedure:
The Disc Tray can be operated using a DMX signal, or it can be
simply turned on and off using built-in programs.

STAND-ALONE MODE

Stand Alone Continuous Rotation

DMX Controlled Continuous Rotation
When using a DMX device with a discharge lamp such
as CDM or an HMI, it’s suggested that you separate the
power circuit for the discharge lamp from the DMX control
device. When using DMX controlled units such as an Indexing TwinSpin™ or SX4® Gobo Changer or DMX Loop
Tray, the “noise” from the discharge lamp ballast may
cause some interference and or damage the electronics.
For best results we recommend providing separate line
voltage to the DMX devices and the discharge light fixture.
