Listed below are a few common problems the user may

encounter, with solutions.

No light from the unit;

1. Check if the ‘Power On’ (red) LED is lit and the fan is

running. If not, there is no main supply.

2. Check the fuse in the back panel.

3. Check if lamp is lit. The user should be able to see some

light escape through the fan. If power is present but the

lamp is not lit, lamp may need to be replaced.

Note: The unit has been designed to shut the lamp down

after 60 seconds of inactivity. This is a way of extending

lamp life, be assured this is not a problem with the fixture.

Unit not responding to DMX;

1. If the RED LED in the LCD is flashing, the unit is definitely

receiving DMX

2. Check for prper DMX addressing.

3. If the DMX LED is not lit, check that the DMX cables are

connected properly and are wired correctly (pin 3 is

‘hot’; on some other DMX devices pin 2 may be ‘hot’).

Also, check that all cables are connected to the right

connectors; it does matter which way the inputs and

outputs are connected.

4. If it is a bad connection, the RED LED may flash when

cables are wiggled (but remember it may also be the

unit sensing audio!)

5. If DMX connectors are fairly short, ordinary microphone

cables may be used. For longer runs, this may cause

Pocket Scan™ Trouble Shooting

Unpacking:

Every Pocket Scan™ has been thoroughly tested and has been

shipped in perfect operating condition. Carefully check the ship-

ping carton for damage that may have occurred during ship-

ping. If the carton appears to be damaged, carefully inspect

your xture for any damage. In the case damage has been

found please contact our toll free customer support number for

further instructions.

Power Supply:

Before plugging your unit in be sure the source voltage in your

area matches the required voltage for your American DJ® Pocket

Scan.™ The American DJ® Pocket Scan™ is available in a 115v

and 230v version. Because line voltage may vary from venue to

venue, you should be sure to plug your unit into a matching wall

outlet before attempting to operate you controller.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements:

Your controller and packs require a standard 3-pin XLR connector

for DMX data input and DMX data output (Figure 1). If you are

making your own cables be sure to use standard two conductor

shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all pro

sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a

male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also

remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and can not

be “Y”ed or split.

Notice: Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do

not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or

allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s

outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit

and erratic behavior.

Notice: Be sure to follow gures two and three when making your

own cables.

Special Note: Line Termination.

When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a ter-

minator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator

is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between

pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This

unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your

daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator will

decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

Operating Modes:

You can use the Pocket ScanTM in three ways:

• 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 ScanTM 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.

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and

external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to opti-

mize light output.

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the

outside casing.

2. Use a brush to wipe down the fan grill.

3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth

every 20 days.

4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth

every 30-60 days.

5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging

the unit back in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the

fixture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
