the American DJ Show Designer™.

of fixtures allowing you independent control of the colors, mirror,

controls the color and shutter, channel two controls the mirror

DMX channel follow the standard DMX Binary Code for a two (2)
channel unit.

with your DMX controller.

The 1/4" phone plug on the unit is for the optional Marvel/C. Do
not attempt to connect an audio signal this jack, this will damage
the PC board and void your manufactures warranty!
Lamp Replacement: Caution! To avoid the risk of electrical shock
or injury never attempt to open up the unit while it is in use. Always
disconnect the main power before attempting to replace the lamp or
fuse. Remember to always replace with the exact same type lamp and
fuse unless otherwise instructed to do so by an authorized American
DJ service technician.
1. Be sure to follow the proper procedures when handling halogen
bulbs.
2. Loosen the screw on trap door located on top of the unit.
3. Remove the trap door.
4. Remove and replace the bulb.
5. Reassemble.
Fixture Cleaning: Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the
internal and external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment
in which the fixture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the
outside casing.
2. Use a brush to wipe down the fan grill and remove as much
built up as possible.
3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth
every 20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth
every 30-60 days.
5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the
unit in.
