This fixture is designed to operate as a stand alone unit, there is no need of a controller. It has been tested and lamped at the factory there is no assembly necessary. The Rover™ is ready to be plugged in, out of the box. There is no power switch. After plugging the unit if there is no lamp output check the fuse and bulb, sometimes during shipping the fuse and bulb become loose. If the fuse and bulb are good, please return the unit for servicing. After plugging this fixture in, the units’ barrel mirror will spin back and forth. The Rover™ features a multi-color dichroic dish that will also rotate. This fixture features a light weight case design and a hanging bracket. This unit can be operated in three different modes. This fixture is designed for mobile DJ’s, clubs, bands, roller rinks and any arena that requires a compact, light weight, easy to use fixture.

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. When the switch is in the "I" position the internal dichroic dish spin continuously and the barrel mirror will react to sound, via its internal microphone. When the unit is in the "0" position the internal dichroic dish is static (does not rotate) and the barrel mirror will react to sound.

Rover™ Cleaning

Fixture Cleaning:

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output.

1.Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.

2.Use a brush to wipe down the fan grill.

3.Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 20 days.

4.Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 30-60 days.

5.Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.

Fuse Replacement:

Disconnect from the main power supply. Insert a standard flat head screw driver in to the fuse holder housing as illustrated in figure two. Turn the screwdriver in counter-clockwise direction to remove the fuse holder. Remove the old fuse and discard it, replace the fuse with the same type. Insert the fuse back into it’s housing.

If you continue to blow fuses, STOP using the unit. Returning the unit for servicing. Continuing to use the unit may cause serious damage.

Caution: Always replace with the exact same type lamp and fuse, unless otherwise specified by an authorized American DJ® technician.
