- The GAM Power Dual Power Supply has a 60 watt
capacity so that it can comfortably handle two units
such as two indexing Twin Spins™ or the 6-Gobo
Trays (or any combination of 2).
- The GAM Dual Power Supply will work on either 120 or 230 volts, 50 or 60 Hz. Simply plug it in and it automatically
selects its operating mode when you plug it into an AC outlet.
- There is one removable AC power cord supplied with each unit. Wired to the power supply are two XLR connectors
one for DMX input control and one for power distribution. The 5-pin male connector is for DMX signal. The 4-pin
female connector is power and control distribution to your unit.
- Connect your DMX signal (from your control console) to the 5-pin connector.
- Plug the 4-pin XLR connector into your unit (6-Gobo Tray or Indexing Rotator). You can then loop through to one
more unit using a 4 wire extension cable with male and female 4-pin XLR connectors.
- Plug the AC power supplied with the GAM Dual Power Supply into a 120 or 230 volt, 50 or 60 Hz outlet.

8 Indexable TwinSpins™ and/or SX4® Gobo Trays |
The GAM indexable TwinSpins™ have 8 modes of operation which are controlled by and require a DMX-512 signal. In
addition there are four, pre-programmed, stand-alone modes (modes 0,5,6 & 7) that require only a 24 volt supply and
no control signal.
The GAMSpin Power Supply Unit (PSU) powers the TwinSpins™ via the 4-pin XLR output. The control signal is fed
into the power supply and re-routed to the output connector.¹ Up to 8 units can be powered by one PSU via a “daisy
chain” - each unit in series using the input and output connectors on the individual rotators (as is the practice with all
DMX controlled equipment).
Use 4-wire, 4-pin XLR cable.² Connect the PSU to the first rotator, then use the output from the first to feed the second,
and continue the “daisy chain” through any additional units.
Connect the DMX signal to the PSU input using standard DMX cable (5-wire, 5-pin XLR).
You may connect the DMX-512 thru to other PSU’s, dimmers or color changers if needed.
¹Except for this re-routing and protection circuitry, there is no processing of the DMX signal. All decoding of the
digital signal is accomplished within the Indexable TwinSpin™ Unit or SX4® Gobo Tray Unit.
² Use only cable that has heavy gauge (#14) conductors for power (pins 1 & 4), and lighter gauge for the signal
(pins 2 & 3). The heavy gauge is most important with long cable runs and if the “daisy chain” is fully loaded. This style cable
is similar to standard color changer cable.
