Configuration (DMX)

Set the product in DMX mode lo control with a DMX controller.

1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
2. Tum the product on.
3. Connect a OMX cable from the OMX output of the OMX controller to the OMX input socket on the product.

Starting Address

When selecting a OMX starting address, always consider the number of OMX channels the selected OMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.The Scorpion Dual V2 uses up to 10 OMX channels in OMX mode, which defines the highest configurable address to 503.If you are not familiar with the OMX protocol, download the OMX Primer from www.chauveUiqhting.com.

To select the starting address, do the following:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until 001-503 blinks on the display.
2. Use <USE> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.
3. Press <ENTER>

Test Mode

Activate the laser test pattern as follows.

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until tSt blinks on the display.
2. Press <ENTER> .

• For manual operation of lasers using OMX control, be sure Channel 1 Is set to OMX mode (000-085).
• For automatic operation of lasers using OMX control, be sure Channel 1 Is set to Auto program (086-170).
• Channel 2 must be set to 010-255 for Channel 1 to be operational.

Configuration (Standalone)

Set the product in one of the standalone modes lo control without a OMX controller. (Standalone)

1. Connect the product lo a suitable power outlet.
2. Tum the product on.

Never connect a product that Is operating In any standalone mode {Auto or Sound-Active) to a DMX string connected to a DMX controller. Products In standalone mode may transmit OMX signals that could interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.

Sound-Active Mode

To enable the Sound-Active program, do the following:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Sou (Sound-Active) or Aut (Auto) blinks on the display.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Sou.
3. Press <ENTER>.

Sound Sensitivity

To set the sound sensitivity, follow the instructions below:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until S 0-9 blinks on the display.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the desired sound sensitivity.
3. Press <ENTER> .

The product will only respond to low frequencies of music (bass and drums). The laser will blackout when In Sound-Active mode after 3 seconds of silence or noise below the sensitivity setting.

Auto Mode

To enable the auto mode, follow the instructions below:

1. Press <MENU> repeatedly until Sou (Sound-Active) or Aut (Auto) blinks on the display.
2. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select Aul
3. Press <ENTER> .

Master/Slave Mode

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Scorpion Dual V2 product (the master) to control the actions of one or more Scorpion Dual V2 products (the slaves) without the need of a DMX controller. The master will be set to operate in either Auto mode or Sound-Active mode, ‘While the slaves will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slaves will operate in unison with the master. Configure the products as indicated below.

Slaves:

1. Press <MODE> repeatedly until SLA shows on the display.
2. Press <ENTER>.
3. Connect the DMX input of the first slave to the OMX output of the master.
4. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slaves to the OMX output of the preVious slave.
5. Finish setting and connecUng alt the slaves.

Master unit:

1. Set the master to operate in either Auto mode or Sound-Active mode.
2. Make the master the first unit In the OMX daisy chain.

• Configure all the alive units before connecting the master unit to the OMX d1i1y chain.
• Never connect I DMX controller to a OMX strtng configured for Master/Slave because the controller may lnterfere with the signals from the m11ter unit.
• Do not connect more than 31 Slave units to the master unit.
