Make sure to disconnect the fixture’s power cord before replacing a blown fuse, and always replace it with a fuse of the same type and rating.

1)With a Philips screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder out of its housing and remove the blown fuse from its holder.

2)Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.

3)Reverse step 1 and reconnect power.

You may link the Legend 300E Spot to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial connection. If using other DMX compatible fixtures with the Legend 300E Spot, it is possible to control them individually with a single DMX controller.

If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, you may download the “DMX Primer” document from the CHAUVET® Web site.

The Legend 300E Spot uses the standard DMX data connection for its DMX Modes (Mode 1 and Mode 2). You will find information about these DMX modes in the Introduction chapter (brief description), the Operation Instructions chapter (configuration details), and the DMX Values section (individual channel values)
