Maximizing the life of your lamp To ensure the longest and most efficient use of the lamp always wait between 10 to 15 minutes before re-applying power after a shutdown. Failure to do so could result in premature aging of the lamp and failure to the electronics that drive it. Never turn off the power to the unit while the lamp is striking. Always wait 15 minutes after powering on the fixture before powering down. Turning off the lamp during striking may permanently damage the lamp.
Lamp You may have to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. An MSI575 high intensity discharge 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. S1 Lamp Installation 1.
Replacing Gobos 1. Unscrew the 4 screws (S1) to detach the top cover. S1 2. For the rotating gobo wheel, it is a simple matter of removing the slot-n-lock gobo single assembly. Using your thumb and forefinger, grasp the gobo and remove it fro the gobo wheel. 3. Then, using a small prying tool, remove the gobo tension ring and remove from the gobo aperture. 4. Push the gobo with your finger from the back side following the same direction that the tension ring was removed.
Fixture Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX 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. Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
Cable Connectors Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end. Caution! Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohmmeter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
Setting up a DMX Serial Data Link Universal DMX Controller 1. Connect the (male) 3 or 5-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 or 5-pin connector of the controller. 2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the controller which will have a (female) 3or 5-pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 or 5-pin connector. This drawing provides a general illustration of the DMX Input/Output panel of a lighting fixture. 3.
Mounting Orientation This fixture may be mounted in a vertical position. This can be a hanging or a sitting position, provided there is adequate room for ventilation. Note! It is not recommended to mount this fixture at any other odd angle, other than standard hanging or sitting position. Failure to comply with this may cause damage not covered under the warranty. Rigging Hanging Clamp It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. Mount the fixture using, a suitable “O” type clamp.

Setting the DMX starting address This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 ~ 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that uses 6 DMX channels and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, and 105.

APPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner.
General 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.
