3. Setup Lamp This fixture comes with a 650 watt lamp, which must be installed prior to the first operation of the fixture. 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.
Mounting ORIENTATION This fixture may be mounted in any position provided there is adequate room for ventilation. RIGGING It is important to never 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 Hanging Clamp (sold separately) and tilting the fixture. After finding the desired position, retighten both knobs.
4. Operating Instructions Operating Modes x A stand-alone mode will listen to sound and run through its range of built-in programs. An optional CH-X wired controller provides remote blackout control. x x Master/Slave mode will allow the use of up to 32 units in a synchronized light show. DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity. Each fixture trait can be controlled individually using any universal DMX-512 controller.
SETTING THE STARTING ADDRESS This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start address" from 1 to 511. 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.
5. Appendix DMX Primer There are up to 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.
