Universal DMX Control:
sal DMX-512 controller such as the Elation
Designer™ to control mirror movement. Special Note: Because these
units are designed to automatically go in to sound-active mode when
they do not sense a DMX signal, these units may activate when your
DMX controller is turned off. To avoid this problem leave your DMX
controller on when the lights are powered on and be sure the sound
sensitivity knob is always turned down (counter-clockwise) when run-
ning these units in DMX mode.
1. The Quick Scan™ uses one DMX channel. Channel 1 controls the
movement and speed of the mirror.
2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures
on pages 5 - 7 as well as the set-up specifications that are includ-
ed with your DMX controller.
3. Use the controller's first fader to control the mirror.
4. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included
with your DMX controller.
