Operation Modes  
Important Notice: When setting or changing your dip switches it is best to discon-  
nect power so the unit can reset to the new settings.  
Stand Alone Operation:  
This operation is used to control one or more fixtures to the built in programs. Use this operation  
mode if; 1) You will not be using a DMX controller or 2) You do not wish to run your fixtures to sound  
or 3) You have more than one (1) Mighty Scan™ and you do not want to run them to a synchronized  
light show.  
1. In Stand-Alone mode the fixture will run through the built in programs without the need of  
sound. Each Mighty Scan in your show will act as a separate unit not relying on any other  
unit for operation.  
2. Flip dip switches one (1) and ten (10) to the on position (See diagram 1).  
3. The units will now operate independently of each other to their built in programs.  
Stand Alone Synchronized Operation:  
This operation is used to synchronize two or more fixtures to the built in programs. Use this operation  
mode if; 1) You will not be using a DMX controller or 2) You do not wish to run your fixtures to sound  
or 3) You have more than one (1) Mighty Scan™ and you want to run them as a synchronized light  
show.  
1. This operation will depend on a master unit to feed data instruction to other Mighty Scans.™  
2. You may use 15 Mighty Scans, as slaves without the use of a controller (Total of 16; one  
master and 15 slaves).  
3. Any unit may act as a Slave or a Master.  
4. Use XLR cable to link your fixtures together. These cables must be daisy chained and can not  
be “Y’ed” or split.  
5. Remember that the Male XLR connection on the fixture is the input and the female is the out-  
put. With this in mind, your first fixture will not have anything connected to the male XLR and  
the last fixture will not have any thing connected the female XLR connector.  
6. Flip dip switches one (1) and ten (10), on the unit that will act as the master (the unit that has  
only an XLR cable coming out of female connector), to the on position (See diagram 1).  
7. Be sure the dip switches from all the other units in the chain are all set to the off position.  
8. The units will now run the built in programs in a synchronized light show.  
Note: When running the Mighty Scans™ to the internal programs the fixture may  
not always be doing the same thing, this is not a malfunction, the internal pro-  
grams sometimes have the lights move independent of each other for a more dra-  
matic effect.  
Sound Active Mode:  
This operation is used to control one or more fixtures to the built in programs via sound. Use this  
operation mode if; 1) You will not be using a DMX controller or 2) You wish to run your fixtures to  
sound or 3) You have more than one (1) Mighty Scan™ and you do not want to run them as a syn-  
chronized light show.  
1. In Sound Active mode the fixtures will run through the built in program via the beat of the  
music. Each Mighty Scan in your show will act as a separate unit not relying on any other  
unit for operation.  
2. Flip dip switch ten (10) to the on position (See diagram 2).  
3. The units will now runtheir built in programs independently of each other.  
 
4. You can adjust the amount of sensitivity the fixture takes to react to the beat of music by  
turning the adjustment pot on the top of the unit in a clockwise or counter-clockwise position.  
Clockwise will increase the sensitivity while counter-clockwise will decrease the sensitivity.  
Sound Active Synchronized Operation:  
This operation is used to synchronize two or more fixtures to the built in programs. This operation will  
synchronize the programs via sound. Use this operation mode if; 1) You will not be using a DMX  
controller or 2) You wish to run your fixtures to sound or 3) You have more than one (1) Mighty  
Scan™ and you want to run them as a synchronized light show.  
1. This operation will depend on a master unit to feed data instruction to other Mighty Scans.™  
2. You may use 15 Mighty Scans as slaves without the use of a controller (Total of 16; one  
master and 15 slaves).  
3. Any unit may act as a Slave or a Master.  
4. Use XLR cable to link your fixtures together. These cables must be daisy chained and can not  
be “Y’ed” or split.  
5. Remember that the Male XLR connection on the fixture is the input and the female is the out-  
put. With this in mind, your first fixture will not have anything connected to the male XLR and  
the last fixture will not have any thing connected the female XLR connector.  
6. Flip dip switch ten (10), on the unit that will act as the master (the unit that has  
only an XLR cable coming out of female connector), to the on position (See diagram 2).  
7. You can adjust the amount of sensitivity the fixture takes to react to the beat of music by  
turning the adjustment pot on the top of the unit in a clockwise or counter-clockwise position.  
Clockwise will increase the sensitivity while counter-clockwise will decrease the sensitivity.  
8. Be sure the dip switches from all the other units in the chain (the slaves) are all set to the off  
position (See diagram 3).  
9. The units will now run the built in programs in a synchronized light show.

DMX Operation:  
This operation is used to control one or more Mighty Scans™ with a standard DMX controller. Using  
a DMX controller will allow you to build and customize your own programs. Use this operation mode  
if you will only be using a DMX controller.  
1. If you will be using your Mighty Scans™ with a DMX controller, use the dip switches on the top of  
the unit to set your DMX ADDRESS. (See the chart on page 8)  
2
. Connect The MIGHTY SCAN™ fixture to a DMX controller. Each unit will use 6 DMX channels  
(See you controller instruction manual for more information on this subject).  
3. Use XLR cable to link your fixtures together. These cables must be daisy chained and can not be  
“Y’ed” or split.  
4. Remember that the Male XLR connection on the fixture is the input and the female is the output.

Your first fixture will not have anything connected to the male XLR input connector and the last  
fixture will not have any thing connected the female XLR output connector.  
5. During DMX operation the Mighty Scan will use 6 DMX channels to operate properly;  
CH1: Pan, CH2: Tilt, CH3: Pan & Tilt Speed, CH4: Color, CH5: Gobo, CH6: Shutter  
6. For all other DMX operation, please refer to the instruction that were included with your controller.

Note: The Mighty Scan™ has split color capabilities. The above chart only shows the values for solid color options.  
To get a split color set the DMX value to somewhere in between the the two colors you want to split. Only a pair of col-  
ors that are next to each other on the color wheel can be split. For example Blue 107 and Blue 110 are a of pair col-  
ors that next to each other. Setting the DMX value to 13 will give a split color of the two (2)
