If you have opted to purchase an Aromarizer, or any other piece of equipment with the "Rainbow Magic"
Technology -- Congratulations! The setup is simple and takes no time at all.
1.) To start, if you have only one Aromarizer, plug it in and go directly to step #5.
2.) If you have more than one Aromarizer and/or bar sections, plug in the main Aromarizer unit first. This
is the Aromarizer with the power supply and controller inside. This unit should now light up.
3.) If you have more than one Aromarizer, connect the male connector(s) in line (daisy chain) with the
female connector(s).
4.) If you have more than one Aromarizer to connect, along with a bar, there will be two connection wires
coming from the main Aromarizer. One wire will connect to the other Aromarizer, and the other wire will
connect to the bar.
5.) Make sure that the LED tube(s) are in position and pointed at it's projection target. In the case of the
Aromarizers, the lights should be facing the at a 45° angle so as they project in between the top of the
Aromarizer lid and the white plate on the Aromarizer back-lighted front panel. If you have an Airheads Bar
the LED tubes should also be pointed in a position to optimally back-light the bar panels as well.
6.) To control your "Rainbow Magic" system, there is a computer-like board attached to the inside wall of
the main Aromarizer. This board has pots or dials that you can adjust and each pot creates a different
and independent effect. With a jewelers screw-driver, turn the pots until you get your desired effect.
There are four POTS on the board, and 8 of 9 active DIP switches:
POT R36 -- Color Organ (?SynchoBop?) sensitivity threshold
POT R2 -- Color Wash Speed Adjust
POT R3 -- Pulsate Mode Duration (1 sec - 15 sec)
POT R4 -- Pulsate Mode Speed Adjust
DIP1 -- INCLUDE RED (when ON)
DIP2 -- INCLUDE YELLOW (when ON)
DIP3 -- INCLUDE GREEN (when ON)
DIP4 -- INCLUDE CYAN (when ON)
DIP5 -- INCLUDE BLUE (when ON)
DIP6 -- INCLUDE MAGENTA (when ON)
DIP7 -- INCLUDE PULSATE MODE IN WASH SEQUENCE
DIP8 -- ENABLE SYNCHO-BOP / DISABLE COLOR-WASH + PULSATE
There are two operating modes available: Color cycling (wash and/or pulsate) and SynchoBop. These two
modes are selected using DIP8, where SynchoBop is present when DIP8 is on. The Color Wash / Pulsate
mode is dynamically configurable to allow somewhat custom patterns of color wash to be created, by
ascending through the colors/switches in order. If DIP1-DIP6 are all in the ON position, the color wash will
function as a standard rainbow: red->yellow->green->cyan->blue->magenta. If, for instance, only DIP2 and
DIP5 are on, the color will fade between yellow and blue. If DIP1, DIP4, and DIP5 are on, the color
sequence will be red->cyan->blue. Adjustment of POT R2 will vary the speed of the color wash.
Note that it is possible to fix the output of the LEDs to one of the six colors by setting ONLY that color in the
color wash sequence, and making sure DIP7 is disabled.
If DIP7 (Pulsate Mode In Sequence) is not enabled, the last color in the wash sequence will fade into the
first, and this will proceed in a continuous loop. If DIP7 IS enabled, however, at the end of the color wash
sequence (when the wash is two or more colors) the controller will enter Pulsate Mode for an amount of
time determined by the setting of POT R3 (Pulsate Mode Duration), and then return to the first color in the
Color Wash sequence.
The Pulsate mode creates a fixed ratio in the ramping speeds of the red, green, and blue LEDs, whose
speed is controllable from POT R4. (Note that the Pulse Mode Duration is specifically set by POT R3, and
does NOT vary with the speed of the Pulsate effect as set by POT R4)
Note: If ONLY the Pulsate mode is desired, set DIP1-6 to their off positions, as this will prevent a slight
visible 'jump' that may occur when the Pulsate mode stops and then immediately restarts.
SynchoBop functionality:
When in the SynchoBop mode (DIP8 set), the activity of the red, green, and blue LEDs will be determined
by the incoming audio source, and the adjustment of the sensitivity threshold on pot R36. Red is
associated mostly with the lower end (<400 Hz) whereas green is the mid-range (400Hz - 3Khz) and blue is
the high end (>3Khz). The 2-pole filter arrangement of the audio circuitry allows for some overlapping or
bleed-over between frequency ranges. This bleed-over becomes more apparent as the sensitivity control
(POT R36) is set to higher gain levels. Also, if the gain is set too high, saturation of the input levels can
cause erratic color response. Start with the average level of audio expected on the input to the controller,
and the sensitivity pot turned fully counter-clockwise. Then observe the LEDs with the audio-source
playing and rotate the pot clockwise until the desired is reached.
