Connections

The fixture features 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. Use shielded twisted pair cable designed for RS-485. For the last fixture in a DMX chain, use a terminator (item #P-DMX-T). The power supply is auto-switching (100-240V AC). Do not connect to a dimmer system.

Rail Controller Operation

When using the included Rail Mounted Controller, connect it to the 5-pin Controller Connection port. Do not connect a DMX console simultaneously, as this may cause damage. Set the fixture to DMX Start address 001. Use the red record button to save scenes to presets 1-7.

Gobo Holder Installation

To install a gobo, insert the holder with the B side facing the back and the F side facing the front. The gobo must be placed between the gobo ring trim and the spring holder. Ensure the glass gobo reflective coating faces the lamp source and the black coating faces the output lens. Note that the holder becomes hot during use.
