Installation and safety

The fixture must be installed in accordance with local territory regulations. It is a Risk Group 2 LED product; do not view the light output with optical instruments. Never connect this equipment to a dimmer pack. If the unit has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuations, allow it to reach room temperature before connecting power to avoid condensation damage.

DMX setup

The fixture supports DMX-512 protocol. Each unit requires a start address. When linking multiple fixtures, use the shortest cable path possible. Always use a DMX terminator (120 Ohm resistor) on the last unit in the chain to prevent erratic behavior. The unit requires standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connectors for data input/output.

Power linking

The fixture provides power linking via the power output on the rear. You can connect a maximum of 16 fixtures at 240V or 8 fixtures at 120V. Do not exceed these limits. Note that other fixtures connected to the power chain may have different power consumption requirements.
