manual abstract
Up to 16 fixtures can be daisy chained in Master/Slave mode. MENU SET TO NOTES P6 -n Master mode P4 -n Sound activated A 001 Channel address P1 Any Pan invert P2 Any Tilt invert You can change the Pan and Tilt settings freely. Sound-active (P4) or Auto-run (P5) In Master/Slave mode you can choose whether the fixture will run in a sound-active state where the movement is triggered by sound or in auto-run where the speed is pre-programmed.

You can tailor your programming to suit a specific event. Whether it is a wedding where a spot light may be required or a lead singer requiring a color solo, the opportunities are endless. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture independently. Daisy Chain Connection 1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the first fixture. 2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on. Daisy Chain Connection Menu Functions DMX-512 addressing This mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 6 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and notate the start address selected for future reference. If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping to the Appendix Section and read the heading .DMX Primer.. It contains very useful information that swill help you understand its use. Setting the starting address 1. Press the [Choose] button until the display reads .ANNN. where N representsa number from 0 to 9. 2. Press the [Up] and [Down] buttons to increase or decrease values until the desired value is achieved. 3. Press the [Enter] button to activate selection. Q-Scan 250 & Q-Roll 250 User Manual 11 2005-11-15/13:24 User Configurations P1 -Pan Invert / P2-Tilt Invert It is possible to invert the pan and tilt mirror movement from within the fixture itself. This could be helpful in situations where the positioning or rigging of a fixture led to a reverse orientation of the fixture in relation to all or most other fixtures installed. When choosing to command the pan or tilt of all fixtures at the same time you will notice that the fixtures whose orientation is different from the others will most likely move opposite of the rest. You can apply a pan and tilt Invert by following the settings in the table below. FUNCTION SET TO NOTES P1 -y Pan Invert P2 -y Tilt Invert P1 & P2 -n Return to normal Segment Display Configurations The display can be inverted making it easier to read the menu depending on the orientation of your fixture. P8 -Display Invert FUNCTION SET TO NOTES P8 -y Invert display P8 -n Return to normal Service Functions P3 -Fixture Reset (all motors) This function will re-initialize the fixture by returning all motors to its startup positions or otherwise known as (home position).

Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX-512 will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly the same. DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller...
