ScanTron 250™
Power Supply:
Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-
age in your area matches the required voltage for your American DJ
ScanTron 250.™ The American DJ
120v and 220v version. Because line voltage may vary from venue to
venue, you should be sure your unit voltages matches the wall outlet
voltage before attempting to operate you fixture.
DMX-512:
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures
and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from
the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that trav-
els from fixture to fixture via the DATA "IN" and DATA "OUT" XLR ter-
minals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA
"OUT" terminal).
DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of
different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a sin-
gle controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX com-
pliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several
DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order
in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the
DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1
may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end,
or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address
of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1
to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave
Operation): The ScanTron 250™ can be controlled via DMX-512 proto-
col. The ScanTron 250™ is a five channel DMX unit. The DMX address
is set on the bottom panel of the ScanTron 250. ™ Your unit and your
DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR con-
nector for data input and data output (Figure 1). If
you are making your own cables, be sure to use
standard two conductor shielded cable (This cable
may be purchased at almost all pro sound and
lighting stores). Your cables should be made with
a male and female XLR connector on either end of
the cable. Also remember that DMX cable must be
daisy chained and can not be split.
