FALCON
CONTROLS ON THE BACK
1. MAINS INPUT:
Used to connect
the included mains cable.
2. INTERNAL MICRO:
Used to
trigger the built-in programs to
the rhythm of the music.
3. DIP SWITCHES
: Used to set the
DMX-starting address of the unit.
See further for more information.
With switch n°10 you can inverse
the movements. The red led is on
when the unit is switched on. The
green led blinks in the rhythm of
the music.
4. JACK INPUT
: This 6.3mm jack connector is used to connect the optional CA-8
controller for extra functions. (see further)
5. DMX INPUT:
3pin male XLR-connector used to connect universal DMX-cables.
This input receives instructions from a DMX-controller or from another Falcon light
effect when used in master/slave mode.
6. DMX OUTPUT:
3pin female XLR-connector used to connect the Falcon with the
next unit in the DMX chain or with another Falcon when used in master/slave
mode.
ADJUSTING THE FOCUS:
Use the small knob on top of the Falcon to adjust the focus
of the gobos:
•
Switch the lamp of the Falcon on.
•
Loosen the knob (see photo) a little until you can move it
forward and backward.
•
Adjust the focus and fasten the knob again.
CONTROLLING THE FALCON
1. Standalone 1unit:
Just connect the unit to the mains and put on some music. The unit will start working
automatically to the rhythm of the music.
2. Two or more units in master/slave setup:
Connect 2 or more units together using good quality balanced XLR microphone cables
(like for example JB Systems code 7-0063). The unit that has no cable connected to
its input will react as master; the others are the slave units.
You don’t have to worry about the settings of the DMX DIP-switches!
It is only
possible to inverse the behavior of a slave unit by changing the position of DIP-switch
n°10. Just try it and see if the effect becomes better. Changing DIP-switch n°10 on the
master has no effect.
