Trance Wheel™

Operation

Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source voltage in your area matches the required voltage for your American DJ® Trance Wheel™ before attempting operation.

General Operation: Just plug this light in, and watch it go. This fixture is designed to operate as a stand alone unit. It has been tested and the lamp has been installed at the factory there is no assembly necessary. The Trance Wheel™ is ready to be plugged in, out of the box. There is no power switch, after plugging the unit the unit’s internal beveled glass wheel will rotate continuously in a single direction, while the outside color dish will rotate back and forth to the beat of music. The unit will create multi-colored patterns that will simulate the rippling effect of water. If there is no lamp output check the fuse and bulb. If the fuse and bulb are good, please return the unit for servicing.

Operating Modes:

This unit comes with a 3-way multi-operating switch located on the rear of the unit. The switch controls three (3) different operating modes; Static, Sound Active, and Continuous Rotation.

Switch in the "I" position: Mode 1 - In this mode the internal oil wheel and the external multi-mirror dish will spin continuously in clockwise direction, regardless of the presence of sound.

Switch in the “0” position: Mode 2 - In this mode the internal oil wheel will continuously rotate while the external multi-mirror dish will remain static. In this mode the unit may be used as a projector.

Switch in the “II” position: Mode 3 - In the this mode the internal oil wheel will continuously rotate in one direction while the outer multi- mirror dish will react to sound. Please note that tapping on the unit, or high pitched sounds may not trigger the unit, the unit is designed to react to low frequencies (bass). Also note that the music sensitivity is preset at the factory and may not be changed or adjusted.
