PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS
SX4® DISC TRAY
The SX4® Disc Tray fits in the same SX4® housing as the Loop, Six-Gobo and Four-Gobo Trays. It utilizes the same DMX Dual Power Supply as the Six and Four-Gobo Tray. The Disc Tray can be operated using a DMX signal, or it can be simply turned on and off using built-in programs
Select speed and direction of rotation using the 4 Channel and Mode Selection switches mounted on the Dual Power Supply. In this mode of operation, the unit will turn on and off when you power it. To operate in this fashion, follow the following instructions:
MODE = 5
Stand Alone Continuous Rotation |
X100 sets clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation.
Odd numbers (1,3,5) set counterclockwise, even numbers set clockwise.
X10 and X1 sets speed of rotation.
X10 at 0 and X1 at 0 is slowest rotation.
X10 at 6 and X1 at 3 is fastest possible rotation.
CONTROL YOUR DISC TRAY WITH A DMX SIGNAL.
In order to do that, you will use the mode and channel select switches on the DMX Control Dual Power Supply, and follow the following procedure:
MODE = 6
DMX Controlled Continuous Rotation |
Set channel selection with X100, X10, X1 to desired DMX channel. Example: X100 at 0, X10 at 0, X1
at 1 means unit will operate on DMX channel one.
Run the fader up and down. 0% to 50% is fast to slow Clockwise. 51% to 100% is slow to fast
counter clockwise.
