Hi there, this is a fairly simple thing to fix, however you will need to follow these instructions.

the dmx-50 is pre setup on each "fixture" by the dmx channel.

you will need to set your scanner to dmx address 17(for some reason fixture 1 is set at address 17) to do this set the dip switches as follows, dip 1 and dip 5 set to on, all others set to off.

the dmx-50 should start up in manual mode, if you now press the number 1 fixture button you will have control of your device, use the main channel faders to adjust each of the scanners functions. they are the following.

fader 1, strobe, will make the light come on and flash etc.

fader 2, gobo, will change the gobo and if set to full will rotate through them all.

fader 3, colour, similar to the gobo, but changes colours.

fader 4, pan, left-right movement

fader 5, tilt, up and down movement.

you will probably want to make some chases up or just play about with the faders on the fly, that parts up to you. if you are stuck at all then dont hesitate to email me, and i may be able to give you a call or something.
