Set the product in one of the standalone modes to control without a DMX controller.
1.
Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
2.
Turn the product on.
Never connect a product that is operating in any standalone mode (either
Static, Automatic, or Sound) to a DMX string connected to a DMX
controller. Products in standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that
could interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.
To enable the Sound-Active mode, do the following:
1.
Press <MENU repeatedly until Sou or Aut shows on the display.
2.
Press <UP> or <DOWN> until Sou shows on the display.
3.
Press <ENTER>.
4.
Turn the music on and press <MENU> until S 0(~9) shows on the display.
5.
Use <UP> or <DOWN> to set the sound sensitivity from level S 1~S 9, with S 9
being the most sensitive.
6.
Press <ENTER>.
The product will only respond to low frequencies of music (bass and
drums).
The laser will BLACK OUT when in Sound-Active mode after 3 seconds of
silence or noise below the sensitivity setting.
Individual products have different sound sensitivities, even when set to
same number. For the best results, use Master/Slave mode to make all
products operate in unision to the beat of the music.
To enable the Automatic mode, follow the instructions below:
1.
Press <MENU repeatedly until Sou or Aut shows on the display.
2.
Press <UP> or <DOWN> until Aut shows on the display.
3.
Press <ENTER>.
4.
Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the desired effect for an automatic program.
5.
Press <ENTER>.
The Master/Slave mode allows a single Scorpion™ 320D EU product (the "master") to
control the actions of one or more Scorpion™ 320D EU products (the "slaves") without
the need of a DMX controller. The master will be set to operate in either Automatic or
Sound Active mode, while the slaves will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and
connected, the slave units will operate in unison with the master unit.
Configure the units as indicated below.
Slave units:
1.
Press <MENU> repeatedly until SLA shows on the display.
2.
Press <ENTER> to accept.
3.
Connect the DMX input of the first slave unit to the DMX output of the master unit.
4.
Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave units to the DMX output of the
previous slave unit.
5.
Finish setting and connecting all the slave units.
Master unit:
1.
Set the master unit to operate in either Automatic or Sound-Active mode.
2.
Make the master unit the first unit in the DMX daisy chain.
•
Configure all the slave units before connecting the master unit to the
DMX daisy chain.
•
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for
Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the
signals from the master unit.
•
Do not connect more than 31 slave units to the master unit.
