6.1.1 Interconnecting several scanners
GB
Several scanners of the same type may be inter-
connected in order to control all further auxiliary units
(slave) to the same rhythm via the microphone of the
main unit (master).
1) Set the DIP switches Nos. 1 to 9 (7) at the master
unit according to fig. 5 (master mode).
2) Set the DIP switches Nos. 1 to 9 at the slave units
differently to the main unit (slave mode); the posi-
tion of the individual switches is of no importance in
this case. DIP switch No. 10 has a special function:
In position "ON" the respective scanner operates
with inverse movements, i. e. its mirror does not
move synchronously with that of the master unit but
opposite to it.
3) Connect the jack DMX OUT (3) of the main unit via a
3-pole XLR cable (e. g. series MEC-... or MECN-...
from the "img Stage Line" product range) to the jack
DMX IN (4) of the first auxiliary unit.
4) Connect the jack DMX OUT of the first auxiliary unit
to the jack DMX IN of the second auxiliary unit, etc.
The green LED (6) at the main unit flickers during oper -
ation to the rhythm of the music or lights up constantly
(if no music is playing or if the music is too quiet / too
low); the green LEDs at the auxiliary units keep flash ing.
6.1.2 Remote control LC-3/FSC-3
Further functions may be controlled via the remote
controls LC-3 (fig. 2) and FSC-3 (remote foot control,
same functions as LC-3) which are separately avail -
able as accessories.
1) Connect the remote control to the jack ONLY FOR
REMOTE CONTROLLER (5).
2) Set the DIP switches Nos. 1 to 9 (7) as in fig. 5.
3) Via the DMX output DMX OUT (3) further scanners of
the same type may be connected (→ chapter 6.1.1)
to control them together with the remote control.
4) Select the operating mode with the button MODE
(16). The LED next to the button shows the se -
lected mode:
Mode strobe/sound (LED does not light up)
Both the mirror movements and the change of the
coloured patterns (gobos) are controlled by music.
If the button FUNCTION (15) is kept pressed, a
strobe effect is activated (with the auxiliary units
the effect changes each time the button is kept
pressed: the first time, it is synchronous to that of
the main unit, the second time it is opposite, the
third time it is synchronous again, etc.).
Mode pattern/sound (LED flashes)
The change of the gobos is controlled by music,
for the mirror twelve different movement patterns
de pend ing on the music may be called with the
button FUNCTION (15).
Mode sound (LED lights up continuously)
Only the mirror movements are music-controlled,
the gobos are not changed by music control. To
change to the next gobo in each case, press the
button FUNCTION (15).

To activate the function Blackout, press the but-
ton STANDBY (14): The mirror goes to the starting
position and the light is stopped down. After a short
time the halogen lamp switches off. As a check the
LED next to the button lights up. To switch back,
actuate the button again.
6.2 Operation via a DMX light control unit
For the operation via a DMX light control unit (e. g.
DMX-1440 from "img Stage Line"), the scanner is
equipped with four channels. The functions of the chan-
nels and the DMX values can be found in table fig. 8.
As a DMX interface the unit has 3-pole XLR connec-
tions with the following contact configuration:
1 = ground, 2 = DMX-, 3 = DMX+
For the connection, special cables for high data flow
should be used. The use of microphone cables with a
standard screening and a minimum cable cross sec-
tion of 2 × 0.22 mm
2 and 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 ampli-
fier (e. g. SR-103DMX from "img Stage Line").
1) Connect the input DMX IN (4) to the DMX output of
the light control unit.
2) Connect the jack DMX OUT (3) to the DMX input of
the next light effect unit. Connect its output to the
input of the following unit, etc. until all light effect
units have been connected.
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX light
effect unit in the row with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W):
Solder the resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of an XLR
plug and connect the plug to the DMX output or use
a corresponding terminating plug (e. g. DLT-123
from "img Stage Line").
4) With the DIP switches Nos. 1 to 9 (7) adjust the
start address (i. e. the address which is provided for
the control of the 1 st
binary number. The start address results from the
addition of the switch values of the DIP switches set
to "ON", e. g.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
DIP ON
‘
DMX start address 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
DIP ON
’
DMX start address 6 = 4 + 2
The easiest way is always to start from the highest
possible switch value and to add the smaller values
in a descending order.
Then the three channels following the start address
are automatically assigned (e. g. for start address 6
for channel 1: address 7 for channel 2, address 8
for channel 3, address 9 for channel 4).
