6/7 CHANNEL DMX OPERATION
The 6-channel DMX mode provides position control of all effects plus speed
control of the moving mirror. The optional 7-channel mode adds speed control of
the color and gobo wheels.
Lamp power Lamp power can be switched on and off from the controller. When set up for 6- or
7-channel DMX operation, the lamp remains off until a lamp-on command is sent.
Note: A peak of electric current many times the operating current is drawn briefly
when striking a lamp. Striking many discharge lamps at once may cause a voltage
drop that prevents lamps from striking or trips circuit breakers. When striking
multiple fixtures, space lamp-on commands at 5 second intervals.
A hot lamp must be allowed to cool for several minutes before it can be turned back
on. To prevent accidental lamp-off commands, a lamp-off can be executed only
when channel 2 and 3 are set to full.
If a hot lamp does not strike, send the lamp-off command and wait several minutes
before trying again.
Reset All effects can be reset to their index positions from the controller. The reset
command must be sent for 5 seconds before it takes effect.
Shutter The shutter opens, closes, and strobes at variable rates from 1.5 to 13.5 Hz.
Stand-alone When stand-alone with music or auto trigger is selected on channel 1, the mirror
moves to random positions using the selected trigger. The color and gobo wheels
can be controlled normally, or, by setting their control channels to full, they can be
set to operate in stand-alone mode as well.
Colors The color wheel provides 15 full-color filters, 2 split-color filters, and an open
position. The wheel may be positioned between 2 positions for additional split-
color effects. Movement speed can be controlled on channel 7, if enabled.
For stand-alone color action, set channel 2 to a value from 210 to 255 and set
channel 1 to stand-alone with music or auto trigger.
Gobos The gobo wheel provides 19 gobos and an open position. Movement speed can be
controlled on channel 7, if enabled.
For stand-alone gobo action, set channel 3 to a value from 240 to 255 and set
channel 1 to stand-alone with music or auto trigger.
Pan and tilt The mirror pans 230° and tilts 76.5°. Movement speed is controlled on channel 6,
allowing you to program fades on controllers without cross-fader. If your controller
has cross-faders, and you use them, set channel 6 to the “tracking” speed for best
results.
