Focus Spot 250R™ 6. Mounting and Installation Mounting The FOCUS SPOT 250R™ is fully operational in three different mounting positions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling, side mounted, or set on a flat level surface (see illustration below). Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.).

Focus Spot 250R™ installation. Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment. a) Cam lock System: This system allows a quick and efficient means to secure a clamp to the unit. To secure a clamp to the unit, attach a clamp that is rated to handle the weight of the unit to your cam lock. After a clamp has been attached to the cam lock, attach the cam lock to the designated position on the bottom of your unit. Lock the cam lock into position by turning the wing nuts 90°.
Focus Spot 250R™ 7. Understanding DMX Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation): Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output (see figure below). If you are constructing your own cables be sure to use two conductor shielded digital cable rated at a 120 ohms (this cable can be purchased at almost all professional sound and lighting stores).
Focus Spot 250R™ DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last fixture to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor that is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This fixture is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last fixture in your daisy chain to terminate the line.
Focus Spot 250R™ Fixture DMX address; All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the base of the device.
Focus Spot 250R™ signal the display will flash "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If your fixture is connected to a DMX controller and the display is flashing (not receiving a DMX signal), please check the following: - The 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected or is not inserted completely into the DMX input jack. - The DMX controller is switched off or defective. - The DMX cable or connector is defective.
