DJ Scan™ Set Up Cont. Special Note: For excessive cable runs of 100ft. total or more, we recommend using a terminator of 80-100 ohms/.5w. Long cable runs can sometimes cause erratic behavior. Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

DJ Scan™ Operating Instructions cont. DMX Operation: This fixture will react with DMX operation. For best results use only 1 (one) motor function for each scene (or step), when programming scenes into a DMX controller. This will give you faster mirror and faster gobo/color changes. For Example: A. With DMX controller move the mirror up then program the step. B. Move the mirror down then program that step. C. Change the gobo/color wheel then program that step. D.
