Installation Installing the Lamp The Showtec Cyclone scanner uses either the GX5.3 24V/250W lamp by Osram or the ELC lamp of identical specifications by Philips or GE. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit. Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product specification label for information. Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps. The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat. Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the device was not designed for. Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty. Procedure : 1. Loosen the two screws on the top of the lamp cover. Open the case. 2. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass. (See Figure 3.) Oil on hands shortens the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off the glass with a clean, lint-free towel and rubbing alcohol.) 3. Hold the lamp socket with one hand. Insert the lamp pins into the holes in the lamp socket. 4. Make sure that the lever is up. Slide the lamp in to the lamp base. 5. Put on the lamp cover and fasten the screws snugly.

Set Up and Operation The set up and operation of all Showtec Cyclone scanners is similar. The main difference is that function channels vary, so that dip switch settings differ slightly. Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your particular product and your preferred operation mode. Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.
One-unit Audio 1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-clamp fastened onto the Showtec scanner bracket). Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation. 2. Flip "on" Func. dip switch and regular dip switch #1. 3. Plug one end of the electric mains power cord into the IEC socket on the unit. Then plug the other end of the cord into a proper electric power supply socket. 4. Turn on the music. The scanner will change to the music.
Four-unit Audio 1. Fasten the effect lights onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-clamp bolted onto the Showtec scanner bracket). Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation. 2. Link the units as shown in (figure 4), Connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units. 3. Activate audio control: On the first unit, flip "on" Func. dip switch . Terminate the system :On the last unit, flip "on" Term. dip switch . 4. Set DMX dip switches as follows. MJC-2,3 Dip ON Unit 1 #2 Unit 2 #1, #3 Unit 3 #1 ,#4 Unit 4 #1 , #3, #4 5. Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's IEC socket, then plug the other end of the mains power cord into proper electric power supply sockets, starting with the first unit. Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly.
Four – unit Audio Set Up
Fig. 4 Note : Link cables and dip switches before connecting electric power 6. Turn on the music. Note that up to 64 units can be connected and operated in audio mode. To do so, flip on DMX dip switch #1 on the 5th, 9th, 13th, etc., unit. Then repeat settings on following units, so: 6th, 10th, 14th, etc., unit DMX settings = unit 2 settings.

7th, 11th, 15th, etc., unit DMX settings = unit 3 settings. 8th, 12th, 16th, etc., unit DMX settings = unit 4 settings.
Product Operation Overview In audio mode (Func. dip switch "on"), choose various shows by flipping regular dip switches on the first unit. For example, for a slow, four-unit audio show, flip "on" -Func. dip switch on the first unit to activate audio mode, then flip regular dip switches #2 and #6 "on" to activate a slow-paced, four-unit audio show. (See the following Function Dip Switch Chart.) Do not activate audio dip switches on following units, but set their DMX channels according to regular DMX procedures. (See Figure 5 for an introduction to DMX dip switch settings.) One final note: Terminate all systems by flipping "on" the Term dip switch on the last unit. This preserves clear signal transmission in both audio and DMX modes.

Fig. 5 DMX Control 1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-clamp bolted onto the Showtec Cyclone bracket). Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation. 2. Link the units as shown in Figure 6. Plug a DMX signal cable from the controller to the first unit's DMX "in" socket. Then plug a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link following units. 3. Set DMX dip switches as follows. MJC-2,3 DipON Unit 1 #1 Unit 2 #1, #3 Unit 3 #1 ,#4 Unit 4 #1 , #3, #4 For more units, continue to use standard DMX dip switch settings. See Figure 7. for details. 4. On the last in a series of units, flip "on" the terminate dip switch (Term dip switch ). This keeps the signal clear.

Make sure other function dip switches are "off". 5. Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's IEC socket, then plug the other end of the mains power cord into proper electric power supply sockets. Do so for all units and the controller.
DMX Set Up
Fig. 6 Note : Link all DMX cables and set dip switches before connecting electric power Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly. 6. Design your show according to your DMX controller functions. DMX channel functions are shown on page 10.
DMX Dip Switch Value Guide DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals. Addresses on the Showtec Cyclone are set by flipping the appropriate DMX dip switches.
You need to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values. A standard DMX address for a Showtec Cyclone scanner, which has four channels (Gobos, Colors, Pan and Tilt) is as follow: Example Cyclone Unit 5
Address Value 17
Switch #1 #5 Total sum
Value 1 16 + 17
DMXDip Switches "ON" #1 , #5
10
Explanation: Since each unit has four channels, each address advances four values (See Address Value above). Once address values are determined, add DMX dip switch values to obtain the appropriate address (DMX Dip Switches "ON") for each unit. Flip appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit.

Maintenance The Showtec Cyclone scanner requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
Changing the Lamp 1. Disconnect mains power supply. Loosen the two screws on the top of the lamp cover. Open the cover. 2. With one hand holding the lamp reflector pull down the lamp lever (towards the base of the unit). (See figure 3) The lamp will be pushed out of the lamp base. Holding the lamp socket with one hand, pull the lamp out of the lamp socket with the other. 3. Pull up the lamp lever (away from the unit base, toward the lamp cover). 4. Follow directions for installing a new lamp, page 6.
Replacing a Fuse Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below to do so. 1. Unplug the unit from electric power source. 2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover (see figure 2). Gently pry up the fuse cover. 3. Note: There are 2 fuses, the replacement fuse is covered and the used fuse has both ends exposed. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out. 4. Push the replacement fuse out of its cover, then insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Products are packed with a replacement fuse. If your replacement fuse is missing, a new one can be purchased at an electric appliance store. Be sure to use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.

Troubleshooting No Light, No Movement - All Products This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems. If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following steps. If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. Response: Suspect three potential problem areas: the power supply, the lamp, the fuse. 1. Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply. 2. The lamp. Replace the old lamp with a new one with the same specifications. See page 11 for replacing lamps. 3. The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 11 for replacing the fuse.
No Response to DMX Response: Suspect the DMX dip switch setting, DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card malfunction. 1. Check the DMX dip switch setting. Make sure the DMX dip switch address setting is correct. 2. Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power. Try your DMX control again. 3. Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with other DMX products ? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light effect to a qualified technician.
No Response to Audio 1. Check the function setting of the first unit. Make sure that function dip switch #1 is on. (Function dipswitch#1 on=audio control.) 2. Turn up the music volume.
