Unpacking
The MAC III Performance is packaged in either a cardboard box or a flightcase that is designed to protect
the product during shipment. The following items are included:
• 1500 W discharge lamp (installed)
• Two 16 AT fuses (installed)
• 2 omega brackets for clamp attachment
• This user manual
Using for the first time
Before applying power to the fixture:
• Carefully review the safety information starting on page 5.
• Check that the fuses in the Live and Neutral fuseholders near the main on/off switch match the local AC
power voltage as described in “Power input and primary fuses” on page 8.
• If necessary, install a cord cap (mains plug) on the power cable as described in “Power connection” on
page 8.
• Unlock the tilt lock as described on page 33.
• Check that the base is fastened securely so that the torque reaction when the head is panned does not
cause the fixture to move.
When powered up, check lamp alignment as described on page 10.
Packing
Important! Release the tilt lock before repacking in the flightcase.
The tilt lock must be released during transportation in the MAC III flightcase.
