American Dj Crusader Fascicule

Introduction:

Thank you for purchasing the Crusader™ by American DJ

. For your convenience the

Crusader™ has been lamped and is ready for use, there is no assembly necessary. The Crusader™ may

be hung or set on a flat surface. The Crusader™ comes with a 4-way prism mirrored. This prism crates a

four (4) pattern reflection of the gobo. This fixture projects in split color combinations.

Operating Instructions:

This unit comes with a 3-way operating switch located on the front of

the unit. The switch controls three (3) different operating modes; Static, Sound Active, and Continuous

Rotation. When the switch is in the "I" position the unit will react to the beat of music via its internal

microphone. When the unit is in the "0" position the fixture will act as a static gobo projector, the gobo

will not rotate nor will the colors change. When the switch is in the "II" position the unit's gobo and color

wheels will rotate in a continuous pattern not reacting to a sound source.

Lamp and Fuse Replacement:

Caution! To avoid the risk of electrical shock or injury never attempt to open up the unit while it is in use.

replace with the exact same type lamp and fuse unless otherwise instructed to do so by an authorized

dust, dew).
