Unpacking the Fixture

Your DL.1 fixture ships in a road case that is specifically designed to protect the product during transport. Unpack the DL.1 fixture and verify that it is undamaged. Inspect both the outside of the fixture and the projector for physical damage to components.

Your DL.1 fixture ships with the following:

One road case

One DL.1 fixture

Two mounting brackets

One projector manual

One power cord

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.

Replacing the Power Cord Cap

The SEOW cable shipped with the DL.1 fixture does not have an attached power cord cap. Different locations (even within the same country) may require a different power cord cap to connect the fixture to a power outlet.

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 in accordance with the following code:

green and yellow = earth

blue = neutral

brown = live
