Unpacking the Fixture
The SHOWGUN® fixture ships in a road case specifically designed to protect the product during transport. When unpacking, inspect the fixture for physical damage to components. High End Systems® assumes no responsibility for products that are damaged during transport. Return a product for repair in its road case.
Before sending anything to the factory, call your High End Systems dealer/distributor for a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The factory cannot accept any goods shipped without an RMA number.
Installing a Power Cord Cap
The SHOWGUN® fixture’s custom power cord ships without a power cord cap. Use the information in this section to install the correct power cord cap for your location.
Because of the variety of power cord caps used worldwide, High End Systems, Inc. cannot make specific recommendations for the power cord cap. Contact a local authority for the type of power cord cap needed. When installing the power cord cap, note that the cores in the mains lead are colored according to the following code:
•green and yellow = earth
•blue = neutral
•brown = live
