Operating Modes:
You can use the Pocket Scan

• Stand alone mode - The unit will react to sound, chasing
through the several built in programs. You can also use the
optional Pocket Scan/RF Remote Control to set blackout,
strobe or slow scan mode.
• Master/Slave mode - You can daisy chain up to 16 units
together to get a synchronized light show that will react to
sound chasing through several built in programs.
• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control
each individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512
controller such as the American DJ Show Designer.
TM
Stand Alone Mode:
The Pocket Scan
TM
has a sophisticated built-in light show that
will run to sound when there is no DMX signal present. Plug the
fixture in and it will chase through its programs via sound. You
can also use the optional wireless remote to blackout, strobe,
or slow scan the units.
Master-Slave Operation:
This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together to run
in a Master-Slave mode. In Master-Slave operation one unit
will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the
controlling units built-in programs. Any unit can act as a Master
or as a Slave however, units must be programmed to act as
“Masters” or as “Slaves.” There are two Master-Slave modes,
Fast and Slow.
Master-Slave Connections:
1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the top of
the unit. Use standard XLR microphone cables to link your
units together. Remember that the Male XLR connector is the
input and the Female XLR connector is the output. The first
unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector
only. The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR
connector only.
