unit and will void your manufactures warranty.
Puissance: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source
voltage in your area matches the required voltage for your American
DJ® Trance Wheel™ before attempting operation.
General Operation: Just plug this light in, and watch it go. This
fixture is designed to operate as a stand alone unit. It has been tested
and the lamp has been installed at the factory there is no assembly
necessary. The Trance Wheel™ is ready to be plugged in, out of the
box. There is no power switch, after plugging the unit the unit’s internal
beveled glass wheel will rotate continuously in a single direction, while
the outside color dish will rotate back and forth to the beat of music.
The unit will create multi-colored patterns that will simulate the rippling
effect of water. If there is no lamp output check the fuse and bulb. If
the fuse and bulb are good, please return the unit for servicing.
Warning: If after you have replaced the lamp or fuse and you
continue to blow either one, STOP using the unit. Contact customer
support for further instructions, you may have to return the unit for
servicing. Continuing to use the unit may cause serious damage.
Fuse Replacement: Disconnect the unit’s main power supply. Insert
a standard flat head screw driver in to the fuse holder housing (located
on the rear of the unit). Turn the screwdriver in a counter-clockwise

place.

been made simple by incorporating a split dome that is retained by
thumb screws. Again, please remember to always replace with the
exact same type lamp.

lamps. Never touch the new lamp with your bare fingers.

unit.
Switch in the "I" position: Mode 1 - In this mode the internal oil wheel
and the external multi-mirror dish will spin continuously in clockwise
direction, regardless of the presence of sound.
Switch in the “0” position: Mode 2 - In this mode the internal oil wheel
will continuously rotate while the external multi-mirror dish will remain
static. In this mode the unit may be used as a projector.

wheel will continuously rotate in one direction while the outer multi-
mirror dish will react to sound. Please note that tapping on the unit, or
high pitched sounds may not trigger the unit, the unit is designed to
react to low frequencies (bass). Also note that the music sensitivity is
preset at the factory and may not be changed or adjusted.
