2. Connect the Data cable’s female XLR connector to the Data In connector of the first (or next) fixture on the DMX link.

3. Continue linking the remaining fixtures connecting a cable from the Data Out connector of each fixture to the Data In connector of the next fixture on the link.

Powering On the Fixture

WARNING:

This equipment is designed for connection to a branch circuit having a maximum overload protection of 20 A.

CAUTION:

Do not power on the fixture until verifying that the line cord cap is suitable for the power source in your location. For more information, see Installing a Power Cord Cap on page 7.

To power on the StudioPix fixture, simply connect it to a 100-230 V AC power source.

Once the StudioPix fixture is connected to a power source, it automatically begins a homing procedure to verify the major functions of the fixture.
