Connect controller: For a DMX controller with 5-pin output, use a cable with a
1.
5-pin male and a 3-pin f ema le conne cto r, such as P/N 11820005. Pins 4 and 5
are not us ed. For a DMX controlle r with 3-pin out put, use a cable with 3-pin
male and female connectors such as the one supplied. Connect the cable to
the controller’s DMX output and the SynchroZap’s data input.
Connect additional fixtures: Connect the output of the fixture closest to
2.
the controller to the input of the next fixture. When connecting a SynchroZap QX250 to a Martin fixture with pin 3 cold (-), use a 3-pin phasereversing adaptor such as Martin P/N 11820006.
Terminate the link: Insert a male 120

put of the last fixture on the link. The termination plug, which is simply a
male XLR connector with a 120 Ω, 0.25 watt resistor soldered between
pins 2 and 3, “soaks up” the control signal so it does not reflect back
down the link and cause interference. If linking many SynchroZaps for
stand-alone master/slave operation, it may be necessary to terminate the
input of the first fixture with a female 120
Tips for building a trouble-free serial link
• Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices. Though standard microphone cable may work in some situations, it is prone to interference that can cause
unpredictable performance.
• Never use a “Y” connector to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a
splitter such as the Martin 4-Channel Opto-Isolated RS-485 Splitter/Amplifier. If a splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.
• Do not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.

Select DMX mode
The SynchroZap QX250 has 2 DMX modes: a 6-channel mode that pr ovides full control of
all effects and a 1-channel mode in which the SynchroZap performs a random sequence at 3
trigger rates.
To select the 6-channel mode, simply set an address as described below.
1.
To select the 1-channel mode, set DIP-switch pins 9 and 10 to ON. Pins 1
2.
through 8 are used to select an address between 1 and 255.
Select the address
When operating the Synchro Zap QX250 with a controlle r, the DIP-switch must be set to the
start channel, also known as the address, which is the first channel the controller uses to
send instructions to the fixture. The address may be any chan nel up to 507 in 6-channel
DMX mode and any channel up to 255 in the 1-channel mode.

OPERATION
Stand-alone operation
The SynchroZap QX250 may be operated without a controller in a stand-alone mode in
which it performs a random sequence triggered by the beat of the music. Two or more SynchroZap QX250s may be connected for synchronized stand-alone “master/slave” operation.
Single SynchroZap
With the fixture off , s et DIP-switch pins 1,2 , and
1.
10 to ON and set the others to OFF.
Apply power to the SynchroZap QX250.
2.
Adjust the volume of the music until the fixture responds.
Multiple SynchroZaps
Link the fixtures together as described under
1.
“Connecting the serial data link” on page 8.
Select one SynchroZap to be the “master”
2.
by setting its DIP-switch pins 1, 2, and 10 to

tures respond.
Controller operation
The SynchroZap QX250 may be operated with any DMX-512 controller. It is ideally suited
for use with the Martin 2518 DMX Controller.
Getting started
Set up the SynchroZap QX250 as described in section 2.
1.
Switch on and configure the controller.

the controller. The DMX protocol beginning on page 18 describes in
detail how the fixture responds to DMX commands.
Loss of DMX
If the DMX sign al is lost, the SynchroZap automatically executes a random sequence using
the music trigger after 5 seconds. DMX control resumes when the signal returns.
Controllable effects
Channel 1: lamp on/off, shutter, reset
When power is applied to the SynchroZap, the lamp remains off until a “lamp on”
command is sent from the co ntroller.
on (5%).
Note: A peak of electric current that can be many times the operating current is drawn when
striking the lamp. Striking many lamps at the same time may cause a voltage drop large
enough to prevent lamps from striking or trip the main circuit breaker. It is a good practice
to strike lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals.
To strike (turn on) the lamp, set channel 1 to lamp
The lamp can be t urned o ff from th e con troll er by sen ding a “lamp o ff”
command. Set channel 1 to lamp off (100%), channel 2 to green (45%),
channel 3 to gobo 9 (34%) and hold for 5 seconds.
The lamp cannot be turn ed o n aga in un til af ter it ha s co ol ed for a pp ro ximately 5 minutes. If the lamp does not strike, send the lamp off command and allow it to cool.
Channel 1 also controls the shutter, allowing you to black out the light and flash the light at
variable or random speeds for strobe-like effects.
Finally, the mechanical effects can be reset to their home position by sending the “reset”
command (95%).
Channel 2: color wheel
The SynchroZap has 9 dichroic color filters plus an open white position. Between each
position is a split-color position. The color wheel can also be rotated at varying speeds and
scrolled using the music trigger.
Channel 3: gobo wheel

Page 13
Channels 4 and 5: mirror drums
The SynchroZap has 2 asymmetrically mounted mirror drums with independently controllable rotation. Each drum can rotate in both directions at varying speeds, stand still, or be set
for musically triggered random or synchronized action. Channel 4 controls the left drum
and channel 5 controls the right drum.
Channel 6: Synchronized drum rotation and music
trigger speed
Synchronized drum rotation:
Synchronized drum rotation causes the mirror drums to
rotate in opposite directions at the same spee d with the ir “tilt” angle of fse t by 0°, 90 °, 18 0 °,
or 270°. This effect can be seen clearly by setting channel 1 to open (10%), channel 2 to
yellow/magenta (25%), channel 3 to gobo 19 (68%), channel 4 to fast ccw rotation (35%),
and then experimenting with the values betw een 8% and 38% on channel 6.
When synchronized ro tation is select ed, the drum speed an d direction are set on channel 4
and channel 5 has no effect. To regain independent control of the drums, turn synchronized
rotation off (0%) or select a music trigger speed.
If both drum channel s are set to mu sic trig ge r (10 0%) , in dep end en t rand om ro tat ion may be
selected by setting a music trigge r speed; synchronized random rotation may be selected by
setting a synchronized drum rotat ion angle .
Music trigger speed:
Channel 6 also controls the effects speed when music trigger is
selected. Three speeds are available. The difference is most noticeable on the mirror drums.
Music trigger works even if no speed is selected, that is, if channel 6 is set to synchronized
rotation.
