SETUP Lamp You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. An EFR5 150w halogen lamp is included. Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement. Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp with alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
Setup Mounting ORIENTATION This fixture may be mounted in any position provided there is adequate room for ventilation. R IG G IN G Hanging Clamp 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Operating Modes The Omega I can be operated in three ways. • • • A stand-alone mode will listen to sound and run through its diverse range of built in programs. A CH-x wired controller provides remote blackout control. Master/Slave mode will allow the command of up to as many units you want in a synchronized light show to the sound. DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity.
Appendix If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol then I suggest jumping to the Appendix Section and read the heading “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful information that will help you understand its use. Set the start address using the group of DIP switches located usually on bottom of the fixture. Each dip switch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will provide the start address.
Appendix APPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX 512 will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance.

Appendix Maintenance To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance. Unplug fixture from power.
