CAUTION IMPORTANT! When installing this projector, make sure

that it is mounted in a manner that prevents the audience from

looking directly into the beam, and the beam from striking the

audience.

Power Supply: This unit is available only in 120v. Before plugging

your unit in be sure the source voltage in your area matches the

required voltage for your American DJ® Emerald Sky™.

General Operation: This fixture is designed to operate as a stand

alone, sound-active unit, or in a Master/Slave configuration. It can

also operate via DMX controller. Plug the unit into a wall outlet with

the same matching voltage. Enter the power key into the back of the

unit and turn it to the “On” position. Now put the power switch into

the “On” postion. The unit comes with several built-in patterns that

automatically cycle through when the unit is operating, the patterns

may not be selected manually. If the unit does not turn on after power

is applied, be sure the fuse has not blown and the unit is properly

plugged in to a matching wall outlet. If the problem continues to per-

sist, please contact customer support for further instructions.

Sensitivity Knob: A sound sensitivity knob is located on the rear

of the unit. Use this knob to regulate the amount of sound it takes to

trigger the unit. Turning the knob in a clockwise direction will increase

the units sensitivity to sound, turning the knob in a counterclock-

wise direction will decrease the units sensitivity. Turning the knob

completely to the counter-clockwise direction will turn off the sound-

active mode.

Emerald Sky™ Operation

Operating Modes:

Universal DMX Control: This mode allows you to use a universal

DMX-512 controller such as the American DJ® DMX Operator™ or

Show Designer.™

1. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures

on pages 10-12 as well as the set-up procedures included with

your DMX controller.

2. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on

the last fixture.

3. Assign a DMX address to the unit by following DMX setup on

pages 10-12.

4. The Emerald Sky™ uses two DMX channels. See page 16 for

detailed description of the DMX traits. Use your DMX controller to

activate the various built-in patterns.

5. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included

with your DMX controller.

NOTE: If running in Master/Slave configuration while using a

DMX controller, the Master unit should have dipswitch #11 set to

the “On” position. All slave units should have dipswitch #1 set to

the “ON” position.

Stand-Alone Operation (Auto Mode & Sound Active Mode):

This mode allows a single unit to run to the beat of the music. Only

use this mode when running a single unit, or when running several

units as individuals.

Auto Mode:

1. Set dipswitch #10 to the “On” positon to activate Auto mode.

Sound Active Mode:

1. Set all dipswitches to the “Off” positon to activate Stand-Alone.

2. The unit will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal

microphone.

3. Use the audio sensitivity knob on the back of the unit to make

the unit more or less sensitive to sound. Turning the sensitivity knob

in the clockwise direction will increase the sensitivity, turning the

knob in the counter-clockwise direction will decrease the xture’s

sensitivity to sound.

Master-Slave Operation (Auto Mode & Sound Active Mode):

This mode will allow you to link up to 16 units together and oper-

ate without a controller. In Master-Slave mode, the units will react to

sound. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the controlling

unit and the others will react to the controlling units programs. Any unit

can act as a Master or as a Slave.

1. Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units

together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remem-

ber the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR

connector is the output. For longer cable runs we suggest a

terminator at the last fixture.

2. Auto Mode: Choose a unit to function as the Master and set
