3. music-controlled stroboscope salvos*
*The music control must be activated
( chapter 6, step 2).
When the button FUNCTION is kept pressed
again, the next stroboscope function respec-
tively will be activated.
b) When the LED of the button MODE is on, the
colour of the light beam and the light pattern can
be selected with the button FUNCTION. To
select the colour, only press the button shortly; to
select the pattern, keep the button pressed until
the next pattern appears. In this mode, the unit
will automatically control the movement of the

7 Operation via a Light Controller

For operation via a light controller with DMX512 proto-
col (e. g. DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB by "img Stage
Line"), the SCAN-20LED is equipped with 6 DMX con-
trol channels. The functions of the channels and the
DMX values can be found in chapter 10.1.
7.1 Connection
As a DMX interface, the unit is provided with 3-pole
XLR jacks of the following pin configuration:
Pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX-, 3 = DMX+
For connection, special cables for high data flow
should be used. Standard microphone cables with
screening and a minimum cross section of 2 × 0.22 mm
and with a capacity as low as possible can only be
recommended for a total cable length of up to 100 m.
For cable lengths exceeding 150 m it is recommended
to insert a DMX level matching amplifier (e. g. SR-
103DMX by "img Stage Line").
1) Connect the DMX INPUT (5) to the DMX output of
the light controller.
2) Connect the DMX OUTPUT (6) to the DMX input of
the following light effect unit; connect its output
again to the input of the following unit, etc. until all
light effect units have been connected in a chain.
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX unit in
the chain with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W): Solder the
resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of an XLR plug and con-
nect the plug to the DMX output or use a corre-
sponding terminating plug (e. g. DLT-123 by "img
Stage Line").
7.2 Adjusting the start address
For operating the SCAN-20LED with a light controller,
adjust the DMX start address for the first DMX chan-
nel. If e. g. address 17 on the controller is provided for
panning the mirror, adjust the start address 17 on the
SCAN-20LED.
The other functions of the SCAN-20LED will then
automatically be assigned to the following addresses
(in this example 18 – 22). As the next possible start
address for the following DMX-controlled unit, address
23 could be used in this example.
1) To adjust the DMX start address, press the button
MENU (12) once so that the display (7) will show
. Make sure that the next button is pressed
within 8 seconds, otherwise the adjusting process
will end automatically.
2) Press the button ENTER (14). The current address
will be displayed.
3) Adjust the address with the button
memorize with the button ENTER.
4) To deactivate the menu, keep the button MENU
pressed until the start address or the operating
mode selected is displayed again or wait for approx.
8 s.
5) Once the control signals from the DMX controller
are received, the red LED DMX (11) will light up and
the start address will be displayed. It will now be
possible to operate the SCAN-20LED with the DMX
controller.
To activate the light beam, set the DMX channel 6
for the dimmer to bright and the DMX channel 3 for
the stroboscope functions to a DMX value greater
than 7.
