3 Applications
The light effect unit SCAN-10 is especially suited for
private parties and in discothèques. It projects differ-
ent, coloured patterns, thus providing an ideal dance-
floor atmosphere. The control of the coloured patterns
and the mirror is made via the integrated microphone,
via the remote control LC-3 (separately available as an
accessory), or, in connection with a light control unit,
via the DMX512 input.
4 Inserting a Halogen Lamp
WARNING
Always disconnect the mains plug
before inserting or removing the halo-
gen lamp!
The unit is supplied without lamp. A halogen lamp with
the following specifications is required: 12 V/100 W,
type MR 16 with base GZ 6,35 (e. g. HLT-12/100MR
from the product range of "img Stage Line").
Never use a lamp with a higher wattage than 100 W!
ATTENTION
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.
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.
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
The unit must safely be mounted in an expert way.
ATTENTION
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.).
Pay in any case attention to a sufficient distance to
easily flammable material or material sensitive to
heat.
If the unit is installed as a suspended load above
persons, it must additionally be secured (e. g. by a
safety rope). Fix the safety rope in such a way that
the maximum falling distance of the unit is 20 cm.
1) Use a support for light effect units or a stable
mounting screw to fix the unit via its mounting
bracket (1) at the desired place (e. g. at a horizontal
bar or a traverse of a lighting stand).
2) 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
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.
Then the unit is ready for operation, the green LED (6)
– lights up when the scanner is operated by music
control as a single unit or as a master unit (see
chapter 6.1.1).
– flashes when the scanner is operated by music
control as a slave unit or via a DMX control unit.
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
To control the SCAN-10 via the integrated microphone
(8), no DMX signal must be present at the DMX input
(4). Depending on the music, an integrated light show
is presented, i. e. the change of the coloured patterns
(gobos) and the mirror movements are synchronized
with the rhythm of the music. If there is no music or if
the music is too quiet or too low, the unit changes the
patterns at fixed intervals only.
6.1.1 Interconnecting several SCAN-10 units
Several units can be interconnected in order to control
all further auxiliary units (slaves) to the same rhythm
via the microphone of the main unit (master).
1) The DIP switch No. 1 (7) of the master unit must be
set to ON.
2) The DIP switches No. 1 of the slave units must be
set to OFF. DIP switch No. 10 has a special func-
tion: In position ON the respective scanner oper-
ates 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 product range of "img Stage Line") 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.
6.2 Remote control LC-3
Different functions may be controlled via the remote
control LC-3 available as an accessory.
1) Connect the remote control to the jack ONLY FOR
REMOTE CONTROLLER (5).
