ENGLISH
DESCRIPTION:
1. Optical lens with manual focus adjustment
2. Hanging bracket with 2 knobs on both sides to fasten the unit and a mounting hole to fix a mounting
hook.
3. Mains input with IEC socket and integrated fuse holder, connect the supplied mains cable here.
4. Lamp compartment, to be opened with this screw.
5. Internal microphone
6. ¼" jack used to connect the optional CA-8 controller.
7. DIP switches, used to set the DMX-starting address of the unit.
8. DMX input: 3pin male XLR-connector used to connect universal DMX-cables. This input receives
instructions from a DMX-controller or from another Dynamo light effect when used in master/slave mode.
9. DMX output: 3pin female XLR-connector used to connect the Dynamo with the next unit in the DMX
chain or with another Dynamo when used in master/slave mode.
10. DYNAMO AND DYNAMO 250: Scanning mirror.
11. DYNAMO 250 Barrel: barrel shaped reflector
LAMP (RE)PLACEMENT
In case of replacement of the lamp or maintenance, do not open the fixture within 10
minutes until the unit cools down after switching off. Always unplug the unit before
servicing! Always use the same type of spare parts (bulbs, fuses, etc.) When replacing
parts, please only genuine spare parts.
 Switch off the unit and unplug the mains cable.
 Wait for about 10 minutes until the unit has been cooled down.
 Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screw that closes lamp compartment of the fixture. (see number 4 in the
chapter 'Description )
 On the inside you will see the lamp socket. Tear the lamp socket gently out of the lamp compartment.
 Unplug the old lamp. Hold the lamp socket while unplugging the lamp instead of pulling the cable!
 Hold the lamp socket while pressing the new lamp gently in the socket.
Attention! Check the label on the backside of the device or see the technical specifications in this manual
to know which lamp should be used. Never install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with higher wattage
generate temperatures the device was not designed for. If the device uses a lamp transformer, it will burn
due to current overload.
 Don't touch the bulb inside the reflector of the lamp with bare hands! This drastically shortens the lifespan
of the lamp. If you touched the lamp, clean it with a cloth and a little denatured alcohol. Wipe the lamp off
before installing.

 Put the new lamp back inside the unit. Be sure that the wires don't touch the lamp.
 Close the lamp compartment with the screw.
 Done!

OVERHEAD RIGGING

 Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
 Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
 Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
 The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
 Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device's
weight.
 Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
 The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
 Don't cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
 The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
CONTROLLING THE DYNAMO
1. Standalone 1unit:
Just connect the unit to the mains and put on some music. The unit will start working automatically to the
rhythm of the music.
2. Two or more units in master/slave setup:
Connect 2 or more units together using good quality balanced XLR microphone cables . The unit that
has no cable connected to its input will react as master; the others are the slave units.
Don't forget to set the DMX addresses as follows:
 Master unit: DMX start address MUST be set to 001. (first DIP switch = ON, all other are OFF)
 Slave units: DMX start address may have any value but NOT 001 (example: set the first 3 DIP
switches to ON)
It is possible to inverse the behavior of a slave unit by changing the position of DIP-switch n°10. Just try
it and see if the effect becomes better. Changing DIP-switch n°10 on the master has no effect.
3. Connect the optional CA-8 controller for more control:
The CA-8 controller can only be used in standalone or master/slave mode. Connect
the controller to the jack input of the first unit (master). Now you can control all the
connected units:
 STANDBY BUTTON:
Press this button to start/stop blackout mode on all connected units. The led is ON
when the blackout function is active. After about 30sec. blackout, the lamp will be
switched off automatically to extend its lifetime.
 MODE/FUNCTION BUTTONS:
With the MODE button you can select 3 different modes:
 The LED is off: with the FUNCTION button you can select 3 different strobe
functions.
 The LED is blinking: with the FUNCTION button you can select 12 different
X/Y moving patterns.
 The LED is on: The beam movements are sound activated. With the FUNCTION button you can
select the desired gobo/color.
4. Controlled by universal DMX-controller:
