3 Applications
The scanner is especially suited for applications on
stage, in discothèques, clubs, and party rooms. It is
equipped with a gobo wheel which allows to create
different, coloured patterns, which are projected onto
the illuminated area via the rotating mirror. The unit is
designed for the control via a DMX light control unit
and has 4 DMX control channels.
As an alternative to the DMX operation, the scanner
can also be operated by music control via the inte -
grated microphone. In this case the remote control
LC-3 or FSC-3 (both separately available as accesso-
ries) offering further control features can additionally
be used.
4 Inserting a Halogen Lamp
WARNING
Always disconnect the mains plug
before inserting or removing the halo-
gen lamp!
G
As halogen lamps heat up very much during oper -
ation, let the lamp first cool down after operation of
the unit (minimum cooling down time 5 minutes)
before replacing it.
G
Never operate the unit without cover (11). Looking
directly into the lit halogen lamp may cause eye
damage due to the high brightness and the UV
radiation.
The unit is supplied without lamp. A halogen lamp with
the following specifications is required:
SCAN-10: 12 V/100 W, type MR 16 with base GZ 6,35
(e. g. HLT-12 / 100MR from the "img Stage Line"
product range).
SCAN-12: 24 V/250 W, type MR 16 with base GX 5,3
(e. g. HLT-24 / 250MR from the "img Stage Line"
product range).
Never use lamps with other specifications!
1) Screw off the recessed head screw (12) on the rear
side of the unit and pull out the cover plate (11) for
the lamp compartment backwards.
2) Put the halogen lamp into the support (fig. 3) and
mount the lamp connection (fig. 4).
3) Slide the cover plate into the guidance of the hous -
ing and screw it tightly.
5 Mounting
ATTENTION: The unit must safely be mounted in an
expert way.
G
To prevent heat accumulation within the unit, the
mounting location must be selected in such a way
that a sufficient air circulation will be ensured
during operation. The unit must have a minimum
distance of 15 cm to adjoining surfaces and the air
vents at the housing must not be covered in any
case (e. g. by curtains, etc.).
G
Pay in any case attention to a sufficient distance to
easily flammable material or material sensitive to
heat.
G
If the unit is installed as a suspended load above
persons, it must additionally be secured (e. g. by a
safety rope at the mounting bracket; fix the safety
rope in such a way that the maximum falling
distance of the unit is 20 cm).
Use a support for light effect units or a stable mount ing
screw to fix the unit via its mounting bracket (1) at the
desired place (e. g. at a horizontal bar or a cross arm
of a lighting stand).
To align the unit, release the two setscrews (2) on
the mounting bracket. Adjust the desired inclination of
the unit, and retighten the screws.
6 Operation
WARNING
Please note that strobe effects and very
fast light changes may trigger epileptic
seizures with photosensitive persons or
persons with epilepsy!
Connect the supplied mains cable to the jack POWER
(9) and the plug to a mains socket (230 V~/50 Hz).
Thus, the unit is switched on, the red operating LED
(13) lights up. The mirror goes to a defined starting
position and the control is reset. To switch off the unit,
disconnect the mains plug.
For a more convenient operation it is recommend -
ed to connect the unit to a mains socket which can be
switched on and off via a light switch.
6.1 Music control
With the DIP switches (7) set the unit to master mode:
switch No. 1 to "ON" and switches 2 to 9 to "off" posi-
tion (the position of switch No. 10 is of no importance):
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
DIP
ON
Master mode
If the music plays with a clear rhythm in the bass range
at sufficient volume, the changes of the coloured
patterns (gobos) and the mirror movements are syn-
chronized with the rhythm of the music; the green LED
(6) flickers to the rhythm of the music. If no music is
played or if the music is too quiet or too low, the unit
only changes the patterns at fixed intervals and the
green LED lights up constantly.
In case the music control does not work optimally,
modify the music volume or the distance between
speaker and scanner.
Note: For music control via the microphone (8), no
DMX signal must be present at the DMX input (4).
