3. SETUP

Disconnect the power cord before replacing a fuse and always replace with the same type fuse.

Fuse Replacement

With a flat-head screwdriver wedge the fuse holder out of its housing. Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type fuse. Insert the fuse holder back in its place and reconnect power.

Data Linking

The fuse is located inside this compartment. Remove using a flat- head screwdriver.

You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.

This fixture uses 9 channels of DMX control.

Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the EIA-485 standard no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.

Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500 meters (1,640 ft.)

Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures

DMX Linking

1.Connect the (male) 3-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3-pin connector of the first fixture.

2.Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3-pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3-pin connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.

Mounting

Orientation

This fixture may be mounted in any safe position provided there is adequate room for ventilation.

Rigging

It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. Mount the fixture using, a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp. Adjust the angle of the fixture by loosening both knobs and tilting the fixture. After finding the desired position, retighten both knobs.

When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp replacement access and routine maintenance.

Safety cables should always be used.

Never mount in places where the fixture will be exposed to rain, high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.

Hanging Clamp
