NDJ Datamoon

Does any body know if the above fixture has a stand alone mode? It's the older version. I can't find a manual for this version.

Thanks.

If the DMX is on TRS jacks then remove the DMX IN jack and it should enter stand alone mode immediately, If there is a jack in the DMX OUT then it should output some signals for it's pattern setting.

 

If it's a XLR DMX input I think it goes into stand alone mode if the socket is empty or there is no real DMX.

 

There were a few models, maybe you will have to play a while.

 

I had several, lamp life or the lack of it, was their main down point, They really benefit from long life lamps, and secure fastening to architectural support.

 

With their age, (IIRC they won a PLASA award in 1986!) they will need cleaning and maybe more.

Thanks I'll try that. I've just realised it's NJD, my bad!

 

Just tried plugging in a 1/4" jack lead. Just blacks its self out then when it's unplugged goes to the red gobo... I've got a feeling it's past it...

Im not sure which version of the data moon you had but you say it goes to a red gobo, have you tried making some noise to check its not just in sound to light mode but not being triggered?

[Jivemaster]

The default stand alone form IS sound to light. Sometimes the microphone fails killing the S-L format. Does anything respond to DMX? It should be a part used four channel personality, usually X,Y,colour, gobo but only two are needed (IIRC X and Colour ??) for dish rotation, and gobo (which has colours attached.)
