This booklet contains instructions for the following products: · · · · · · · · · ClubScan ClubRevolution ClubColour ClubJive Futurescan 1 Gladiator Revolution Twister 4 Galactic Star DuoColour All the information in this booklet applies to all the above products, unless it has lines beside it. Information like this only applies to certain products. The text will tell you to which products it is relevant. [. . . ] The left hand side will be at the DMX channel you set on the dip switches. The right hand side will be two channels further up, i. e. if you set the dip switches to channel 1, one side of the unit will be on channel 1 and the other side is on channel 3. Page 7 Abstract Universal Instruction Manual Operating the unit When you turn the unit on, it will go through an initialisation routine where it moves all the motors to their zero positions. You may hear some bumping noises as the unit checks the limits of movement on the motors. The initialisation routine takes about 20 seconds, after which the unit will begin to respond to DMX input, or to sound if no DMX is connected. Note: Units with halogen lamps do not turn the lamps on until initialisation is complete. Operation in stand alone mode If the unit is in stand alone mode (no DMX connected), it will automatically produce a light show in response to the music, and will control any other units connected to it. If you have several units, you can tell which one is generating the light show by looking at the green LEDs. The first unit in line will automatically generate the light show and will flash its LED in time with the music. The other units will have their LED's on continuously. You can set several special options on the dip switches which affect how the unit behaves in stand alone mode; see page 6. Note: If you connect other manufacturers' products to the DMX output while the unit is in stand alone mode, they will probably not respond. Remote control for Futurescan 1, Gladiator Revolution and DuoColour: You can black out the unit (and any others connected to it by DMX) by pressing the Blackout button. You can make the unit strobe by pressing the Strobe button. You can make the unit move more slowly by pressing the Slow button. If the unit is receiving DMX, the remote control will have no effect. On the DuoColour you can lock the colour by holding down the slow button for a few seconds (the Slow light flashes). Gobo The units also crossfade between gobos. This allows you to "fade out" the light by moving the control slowly from Open to Blackout. To obtain correctly positioned gobos, you need to send the correct DMX values to the unit. The values for each gobo are listed at the end of the manual. If you move the control to the top end of its range (about 80%) you will enter the `strobe zone'. The unit will strobe slowly (about one flash per second) at 80%, up to full speed strobe (about 10 flashes per second) at 100%. Note: Except for the Galactic Star, the gobo wheel is used to produce the strobe effect, so you cannot strobe on a gobo. [. . . ] Otherwise, tapping the microphone should cause the green LED to flash. Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit. Unit keeps resetting itself intermittently Sometimes the fuse holder on the electronics board becomes loose. This results in an intermittent power supply, which may cause the unit to reset itself.
