Appendix A - DMX Dip Switch Value Guide

DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals. Addresses on Mojo series products are set by flipping appropriate DMX dip switches.

Mojo Spin Master Product Guide

This product user guide covers the following effect lights: Mojo Spin Master I (MJS-1), Mojo Spin Master II (MJS-2), Mojo Spin Master III (MJS-3).

TM TM

To do this, you need to know that DMX dip switches have the following values: #1=1; #2=2; #3=4; #4=8; #5=1; #6=32; #7=64; #8=128; #9=256. And you need to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values.

For example, standard DMX addresses for four Mojo Spin Master III effect

lights, each of which has four channels (See page 10.), Follow:

MJS3 Address Value DMX Dip Switches "ON"

Unit 1 1 #1 Unit 2 5 #3 & #1 Unit 3 9 #4 & #1 Unit 4 13 #4, #3, #1

Explanation: Since each unit has four channels, each address advances four values (See Address Value above).

Once address values are figured out, add DMX dip switch values to obtain the appropriate address (DMX Dip Switches "ON") for each unit. Flip appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit.

Troubleshooting

This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems. If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following steps. If the effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.

No Light, No Movement - All Products

Response: Suspect three potential problem areas: the power supply, the lamp, the fuse.

1. Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.

2. The lamp. Replace the old lamp with a new one of appropriate specifications. See directions above for replacing lamps.

3. The fuse. Replace the fuse. See directions above for replacing the fuse.

No Response to DMX

Response: Suspect the DMX dip switch setting, DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card malfunction.

1. Check the DMX dip switch setting. Make sure the DMX dip switch address setting is correct.

2. Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; resupply electrical power. Try your DMX control again.

3. Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller

operate other DMX products properly? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light effect to a qualified technician.

No Response to Audio

1. Check the function setting of the first unit. Make sure that function dip switch

#1 is on. (Function dip switch #1 on = audio control.)

2. Turn up the music volume.

Getting Ready

All Geni products are thoroughly tested at the factory and shipped in perfect condition. If damage has occurred during shipping or if components are missing, please contact your Geni dealer immediately.

Your package should include: (1) One Mojo Spin Master series lighting effect with bracket.

(2) One IEC electric mains power cord with plug. (3) One product user manual.

The lamp may or may not be included, depending on your Geni dealer. In most cases, the lamp is not included.

Install the Lamp

Mojo Spin Master series effects use either the GX5.3 24V/250W lamp by Osram or the ELC lamp of identical specifications by Philips. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit. Note that product versions that use other lamps may be offered in the future. Check your product specification label for information.

Lamp Installation

(1) Loosen the two screws on the top of the lamp cover. Open the case. (2) Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass. (See Figure 1.)

Oil on hands shortens the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off the glass with a clean, lint-free towel and rubbing alcohol.)

(3) Hold the lamp socket with one hand. Insert the lamp pins into the holes in

the lamp socket. (4) Make sure that the lever is up. Slide the lamp into the lamp base. (5) Put on the lamp cover and fasten the screws snugly.

Set Up and Operation

The set up and operation of all Mojo Spin Master light effects is similar. The main difference is that function channels of various items vary, so that dip switch settings differ slightly. Follow directions below as they pertain to your particular product and your preferred operation mode.

Before plugging unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.

One-unit Audio Effect

(1) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger Cclamp fastened onto the Mojo Moon bracket). Leave at least one meter on all sides for air circulation. (2) Flip "on" function dip switch #1 and regular dip switch #1. (3) Plug one end of the electric mains power cord into the IEC socket on the unit. (See figure 5, page 6.) Then plug the other end of the cord into a proper electric power supply socket. (4) Turn on the music. The effect will change to the music.

Four-unit Audio

1. Fasten the effect lights onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger Cclamp bolted onto the Mojo Moon bracket). Leave at least one meter on all sides for air circulation.

2. Link the units as shown in figure 2, page 4. Connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units.

3. Activate audio control: On the first unit, flip "on" function dip switch #1. Terminate the system: On the last unit, flip "on" function dip switch #2.

4. Set DMX dip switches as follows.

MJS1 Dip ON MJS2 Dip ON MJS3 Dip ON Unit 1 #2 Unit 1 #2 Unit 1 #2 Unit 2 #3 Unit 2 #1 #2 Unit 2 #1 #3 Unit 3 #1 #2 #3 Unit 3 #1 #3 Unit 3 #1 #4 Unit 4 #2 #4 Unit 4 #1 #2 #3 Unit 4 #1 #3 #4

4. Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's IEC socket (see figure 4), then plug the other end of the mains power cord into proper electric power supply sockets, starting with the first unit. Do not supply

Maintenance

Mojo Spin Master light effects require almost no maintenance. However, you should:

! Keep the unit clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, then wipe the cover

with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Clean internal components about once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner. Do not use alcohol or solvents.

! Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, then wipe the DMX and

audio connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.

Changing the Lamp

If electrical power is supplied and the lamp does not light, it may be time to change the lamp. Follow directions below to do so.

1. Disconnect mains power supply. Loosen the two screws on the top of the

lamp cover. Open the cover.

2. With one hand holding the lamp reflector, pull down the lamp lever

(toward the base of the unit). (See figure 1.) The lamp will be pushed out of the lamp base. Holding the lamp socket with one hand, pull the lamp out of the lamp socket with the other.

3. Pull up the lamp lever (away from the unit base, toward the lamp cover).

4. Follow directions for installing a new lamp, page 2.

Replacing a Fuse

Power surges or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, replace the fuse as follows:

1) Unplug the unit from electric power source.

2) Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover (C in figure 4).

Gently pry up the fuse cover.

3) Note two fuses: The replacement fuse is covered; The used fuse has both

ends exposed. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.

4) Push the replacement fuse out of its cover, then insert the replacement fuse

into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Products are packed with a replacement fuse. If your replacement fuse is missing, a new one can be purchased at an electric appliance store. Be sure to use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.

Product Operation Overview

Mojo Spin Master products are easy to operate. In general, there are two modes: audio and DMX. Activate audio mode by flipping function dip switch #1 "on" on the first unit. Allow for DMX control by leaving function dip switch #1 "off". Function dip switch #1 on the first unit determines the control mode. Leave function dip switch #1 in the "off" position on all following units, in audio and DMX modes.

In audio mode (function dip switch #1 "on"), choose various shows by flipping regular dip switches on the first unit. For example, for a slow, four-unit audio show, flip "on" function dip switch #1 on the first unit to activate audio mode, then flip regular dip switches #2 and #6 "on" to activate a slow-paced, four-unit audio show. (See the following Function Channel Chart.)

Do not activate audio dip switches on following units, but set their DMX channels according to regular DMX procedures. (See Appendix 1 for an introduction to DMX dip switch settings.)

One final note: Terminate all systems by flipping "on" the second function dip switch on the last unit. This preserves clear signal transmission in both audio and DMX modes.

Dip OFF Mode ON Mode

#1 Single unit show mode Single unit audio show mode

#2 Single unit audio mode 4-unit audio show mode, master

#3 Single unit audio mode Self-test mode

#4 Single unit audio mode Single, slow show mode

#5 Single unit audio mode Focus assistance

#6 1- unit audio, mixed show Audio low BPM show mode

#7 1-unit audio, mixed show Audio high BPM show mode

#8 Single unit audio mode No program

#9 Single unit audio mode No program

Applies only when audio mode (function dip switch #1 "on") is activated.

Otherwise, these channels are DMX address setting dip switches.
