• Aligning the beam
Having completed all the operations
indicated thus far, loosen the knobs
(3), manoeuvre the projector on
the bracket (2) until the beam is
directed at centre stage, then
retighten the knobs (3).
• Projector address codes (for digital signals)
A single MINISCAN utilizes 4 control channels. To ensure that the different projec-
tors are addressed correctly by the controller, a code must be assigned to each one.
The operation is carried out on each MINISCAN by setting the dip-switches as
indicated in the table below.
Before positioning the projector, set the channels as shown in the following table:
• Adjusting the lens
Move the lens (6) back and forward until the projected image is satisfactorily focused,
then tighten the knob (7).

OPTIONS
To connect a DMX line, a terminating plug (7) with a 100
Ω
resistor wired between pins
2 and 3 must be fitted to the last projector connected in series; the plug is not required
when using a RS232/423(PMX) signal.
The wires must not come into contact with each other or with the metal cas-
ing of the plug.
The casing of the plug/socket must be connected to the screen and to pin 1 of
the connectors.
Having completed the operations described above, press the on/off switch (5). Check
that the warning light comes on and that the auto-reset sequence starts.

In the 0% to 50% range of adjustment, the
change of colour in response to the move-
ment of the potentiometer is linear and
continuous, so that the slider can be
stopped in intermediate positions to obtain
a two colour beam.
From 50% to 100% the wheel rotates con-
tinuously with speed increasing steadily
from 0 to 300 rpm.

In the 0% to 30% range of adjustment, the
dimmer opens gradually to maximum aper-
ture.
Strobe effect is produced from 30% to
49.7%, with frequency increasing from 1 to
7 flashes per second.
At 50% the aperture is fixed.
The gobo sequence is produced between
60% and 85% of the slider travel, as indi-
cated in the diagram.
The aperture remains fixed between 85%
and 100% of the range.

Setting the TEST switch to the ON position for a few seconds with the projector pow-
ered-up, an auto-reset routine is carried out. Leaving the TEST switch at the ON posi-
tion for a longer period, a full self-test program will be completed; once the operation
has terminated, return the switch to the OFF position.
