rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
• Allow the device about 10 minutes to cool down before replacing the bulb or start
servicing.
• Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or before replacing the bulb
or start servicing.
• The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to
the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
• Check that the available voltage is not higher than the one stated on the rear panel of the
unit.
• The power cord should always be in perfect condition: switch the unit immediately off
when the power cord is squashed or damaged.

LAMP (RE)PLACEMENT
In case of replacement of the lamp or maintenance, do not open the
fixture within 10 minutes until the unit cools down after switching off.
Always unplug the unit before servicing! Always use the same type of
spare parts (bulbs, fuses, etc.) When replacing parts, please only
genuine spare parts.
• Switch off the unit and unplug the mains cable.
• Wait for about 10 minutes until the unit has been cooled down.
• Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screw that closes lamp compartment of the fixture.
• On the inside you will see the lamp socket. Tear the lamp socket gently out of the lamp
compartment.
• Unplug the old lamp. Hold the lamp socket while unplugging the lamp instead of pulling
the cable!
• Hold the lamp socket while pressing the new lamp gently in the socket.
Attention! Check the label on the backside of the device or see the technical
specifications in this manual to know which lamp should be used. Never install lamps
with a higher wattage! Lamps with higher wattage generate temperatures the device was
not designed for. If the device uses a lamp transformer, it will burn due to current
overload.
• Don’t touch the bulb inside the reflector of the lamp with bare hands! This drastically
shortens the lifespan of the lamp. If you touched the lamp, clean it with a cloth and a little
denatured alcohol. Wipe the lamp off before installing.
• Put the new lamp back inside the unit. Be sure that the wires don’t touch the lamp.
• Close the lamp compartment with the screw.
• Done!
OVERHEAD RIGGING
•
Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only.
Improper installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property.
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be
respected, certified installation materials should be used, the installed device
should be inspected regularly for safety.
• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during
rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
• Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or
liquids. The fixture must be fixed
at least 50cm
from surrounding walls.
• The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons
may walk by or be seated.
• Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of
10times the device’s weight.
• Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when
installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no
part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
• The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be
considered!
• Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.

JB SYSTEMS® 5/40 DUALSCAN
• The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical
installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The
installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is
still optimal.
CONTROLLING THE DUALSCAN
1. Standalone 1unit:
Just connect the unit to the mains and put on some music. The unit will start working
automatically to the rhythm of the music.
2. Two or more units in master/slave setup:
Connect 2 or more units together using good quality balanced XLR microphone cables
(like for example JB Systems code 7-0063). The unit that has no cable connected to its
input will react as master; the others are the slave units.
Don’t forget to set the DMX addresses as follows:
• Master unit: DMX start address MUST be set to 001. (first DIP switch = ON, all other
are OFF)
• Slave units: DMX start address may have any value but NOT 001 (example: set the
first 3 DIP switches to ON)
It is possible to inverse the behavior of a slave unit by changing the position of DIPswitch n°10. Just try it and see if the effect becomes better. Changing DIP-switch n°10
on the master has no effect.
3. Connect the optional CA-8 controller for more control:
The CA-8 controller can only be used in standalone or
master/slave mode. Connect the controller to the jack input of
the first unit (master). Now you can control all the connected
units:
• STANDBY BUTTON:
Press this button to start/stop blackout mode on all
connected units. The led is ON when the blackout function is
active. After about 30sec. blackout, the lamp will be switched
off automatically to extend its lifetime.
• MODE/FUNCTION BUTTONS:
With the MODE button you can select 3 different modes:
• The LED is off: with the FUNCTION button you can
select 2 different strobe functions.
• The LED is blinking: with the FUNCTION button you can
select 6 different X/Y moving patterns.
• The LED is on: The beam movements are sound activated. With the FUNCTION
button you can select the desired gobo/color.
4. Controlled by universal DMX-controller:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light
equipment. You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected light
effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable (ex. JB Systems ref. 7-0063). To
prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω
ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL
JB SYSTEMS® 6/40 DUALSCAN
to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply
won’t work!
Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows
which commands from the controller it has to decode.
• How to set the DIP-switches to obtain the right starting address:
On the back of the Dualscan you will see that each of the first 9 DIP-switches
corresponds to certain value:
Dip #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9
Value 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256
You can combine the values of these switches to become any starting address
between 1 and 512:
Begin address = 01 Æ switch 1=ON values: 1
Begin address = 05 Æ switch 1+3=ON values: 1+4 = 5
Begin address = 09 Æ switch 1+4=ON values: 1+8 = 9
Begin address = 13 Æ switch 1+3+4=ON values: 1+4+8 = 13
Begin address = 62 Æ switch 2+3+4+5+6=ON values: 2+4+8+16+32 = 62

• DMX-CONFIGURATION OF DUALSCAN:
MAINTENANCE
• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during
servicing.
• Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.
During inspection the following points should be checked:
• All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened
and may not be corroded.
• Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally
free from any deformation.
• When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be
replaced.
• The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately
when even a small problem is detected.
• In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation
openings should be cleaned monthly.
• The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL
JB SYSTEMS® 8/40 DUALSCAN
• The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out
periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in
which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause
greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
• Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.
• Always dry the parts carefully.
• Clean the external optics at least once every 30 days.
• Clean the internal optics at least every 90 days.
Attention:
We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified
personnel!
