- Page 3 Welcome Congratulations on your purchase of this Abstract product. Your new unit offers many exciting features and can work in harmony with any other Abstract product in the range to produce an amazing light show. This booklet contains instructions for the following products:...

Page 4: Features Of The Unit
DMX input plug (pin 3 cold, pin 2 hot, pin 1 screen). Used to connect the unit to either a DMX controller or to another Abstract unit in stand-alone mode. You can use a dedicated controller such as the Abstract CE controller, or another DMX lighting desk. - Page 5 Mains power (not shown in picture). Power is supplied to the unit through an IEC connector on the back face of the unit. There is a power supply fuse built into this connector. If this fuse fails you should take the unit to an Abstract dealer for service.

Page 6: Installing The Unit
If you want to control the unit yourself, see page 9. If you have more than one Abstract unit, link the units together using 3-pin DMX cables. Connect the DMX out (the socket) on the first unit to the DMX in (plug) on the second unit. - Page 7 Dipswitch 10. It always behaves as if the switch is OFF. If you’ve got a variety of different Abstract products, they might have different versions of the light show programmed into them - we are continually improving the light show.
- Page 8 Special options in stand alone mode In stand alone mode, you can also set three options on the Master unit’s Dipswitches which affect the light show: All dip switches on: Display mode - unit ignores audio and scans slowly through various patterns (including strobes) 1 off, 2-9 on: Slow mode - unit responds to audio but always moves slowly and gently.
- Page 9 DMX controlled mode gives you full control over every function of the unit. Using a suitable DMX controller such as the Abstract CE controller, you can program the lightshow just the way you want it. However, it does take a bit more setting up, and a lot more programming time, than the stand alone lightshow.
- Page 10 If you are using the Abstract CE controller, or another “personality” based controller, you should set up the controller to match the heads you have connected. Refer to the controller manual for help on this. If the controller does not have an appropriate setting for the head, use the nearest similar setting. If in doubt, a VR8 or Futurescan setting will operate most of the units.
- Page 11 To obtain correctly positioned colours you need to send the correct DMX values (the unit does not ‘snap’ to the colours). Many controllers can ‘learn’ these values. The Abstract controllers are pre- programmed with them. On the Futurescan 1, Gladiator Revolution, Twister 4, MoonScan, MoonRay, gobos are permanently fixed to the colours.
- Page 12 Compatibility with other Abstract units All units in the Abstract CE, VR and Club ranges are compatible with each other, even those which have different functions, or more colours and gobos.

Page 15: If You Have Problems
The trip will automatically reset when the unit cools down. Ensure all vents are clean and have free airflow. If the fan does not run when the unit starts up, take the unit to an Abstract dealer for repair. - Page 16 If still you cannot resolve the problem, it may be that the unit has a fault. You should contact your Abstract dealer for assistance. If you have Internet access you can go to: http://www.abstractavr.com...

Page 17: Maintenance Of The Unit
If you are operating the unit regularly for prolonged periods (e.g. nightclub installations) you should take the unit to an Abstract dealer for full servicing and internal cleaning a few times a year. Do not attempt to open the case yourself as electrical hazards are present inside, and you risk damaging delicate internal parts. -
