Fuse & Lamp Replacement  
Caution: Always replace with the exact same type lamp and fuse,  
unless otherwise specified by an authorized American DJ® technician.  
Replace with anything other than the specified part can damage your  
unit and will void your manufactures warranty.  
Power Supply: 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  
direction to remove the fuse holder. Remove the old fuse and discard  
it, replace the fuse with the same type. Insert the fuse holder back  
into it’s housing and turn in clockwise direction to lock the holder in  
place.  
Operating Modes:  
This unit comes with a 3-way multi-operating switch located on the  
rear of the unit. The switch controls three (3) different operating  
modes; Static, Sound Active, and Continuous Rotation.  
Lamp Replacement: Caution! Never open the unit when in use.  
Always disconnect the main power and allow the fixture ample time  
to cool before attempting to replace the lamp. Lamp replacement has  
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.  
1. Be sure to follow the proper procedures when handling halogen  
lamps. Never touch the new lamp with your bare fingers.  
2. Unscrew the single thumb screw (7) located on the bottom of the  
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.  
Switch in the “II” position: Mode 3 - In the this mode the internal oil  
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.  
3. Once the thumb screw (7) has been remove, pull back the lamp  
assembly cover plate (6) to expose the lamp (4).
