Operating Modes:
You may use the DJ Roller™ in three different modes:
•Stand alone mode - The unit will react to sound, chasing through the several built in programs. You can also use the optional MINI/C Remote Control to blackout the units.
•Master/Slave mode - You can daisy chain up to 4 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.™
For best results use fog or special effects smoke to enhance the beams projections. The DJ Roller™ comes with a protective transpor- tation cover. Be sure to remove it before attempting any operation!
Stand Alone Mode:
1.To operate as a stand alone unit, via its internal chases and microphone, turn all dip switches off (see Page 13; Master/Slave).
2.Adjust the sensitivity knob on the bottom of the unit so the unit will react to sound.
3.The DJ Roller™ will now react to the bass sound of music via the internal microphone.
Master-Slave Operation:
1.This function will allow you to link up to 16 units together to run on the master unit’s internal programs.
2.In
3.Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the bottom of the units.
4.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.
5.The first unit in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connec- tor only - The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only.
6.Turn all the master units dip switches to the off position (see

8.After all the units settings have been set and are plugged in, adjust the sensitivity knob on the bottom of the master unit to make them react to sound.
9.You can also use the optional MINI/C Remote Control. If you want to use the optional remote control, connect the MINI/C controller to the first fixture in the line (master). Note: The remote control only operates in
DMX Mode: This fixture will react with DMX operation. For best results use only one motor function for each scene (or step), when programming scenes into a DMX controller. This will give you faster mirror and faster gobo/color changes. For Example:
A.With DMX controller move the mirror up then program the step.
B.Move the mirror down then program that step.
C.Change the gobo/color wheel then program that step.
D.Continue this pattern to achieve best results.
1.Operating through a DMX controller allows users to create custom programs tailored to their individual needs. This function also allows you to use your fixtures as spots.
2.This operation will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512 controller such as the American DJ Show Designer™ or the American DJ® DMX Operator.™
3.The DJ Roller™ uses four DMX channels to operate; Channel 1 is Rotation, channel 2 is Tilt, channel 3 is Color change, and channel 4 Gobo change.
4.To run your fixture in DMX mode, plug in the fixture via the XLR connections to any standard DMX controller. - Follow the
5.Set the proper fixture DMX address. The DMX address is adjusted with the dipswitches on the bottom panel of the unit. Page 13 Details a DMX chart. Please note that the chart on page 13 is set- up as a guide only. For proper DMX addressing please refer to the DMX binary rules on page 6.
