INSTALLATION
The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure that the unit is firmly
fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you
are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit's weight.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate
safety rope.
Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing the fixture.
DMX CONNECTION
Connect an XLR cable to the male 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the fe-
male 3-pin XLR input of the light.You can chain multiple lights together through serial linking
The cable needed should be two core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
DATA CABLING
To link fixtures together you must use data cables. If you choose to create your own cable, please
use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.
CABLE CONNECTORS
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a
female XLR connector on the other end.
Termination reduces signal errors. To avoid signal trans-
mission problems and interference, it is always advisable to
connect a DMX signal terminator.
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 ohm meter to check correct po-
larity and to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
