3. SETUP Before replacing a fuse, disconnect the power cord. ALWAYS replace with the same type and rating of fuse. Fuse Replacement With a flat head screwdriver, wedge the fuse holder out of its housing. Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type fuse. Connecting A Bunch of SPOTMAN's You will need a serial data link to run light shows using a DMX-512 controller or to run shows on two or more fixtures set to sync in master/slave operating mode.
Cable Connectors Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end. (Duh!) INPUT 2 A Word on Termination: OUTPUT 1 3 DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and therefore best practices include use of a terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems with erratic fixture behavior, especially over long signal cable runs, a terminator may help improve performance.
Fixture Linking (M/S Mode) 1. Connect the male connector side of the DMX cable to the output female connector of the first fixture. First Fixture in Chain DMX IN DMX OUT Next Fixture in Chain DMX IN DMX OUT 2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a female connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a male connector. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
4. OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS The Control Panel All the features and different modes possible with SPOTMAN™ are accessed by using the control panel on the rear of the fixture. There are 4 control buttons under to the LED display which allow you to navigate through the various control panel menus.

5. APPENDIX Keeping Your SPOTMAN™ As Good As New The fixture you’ve received is a rugged, tough piece of pro lighting equipment, and as long as you take care of it, it will take care of you. That said, you’ll need to take care of it if you want it to operate as designed. You should keep the fixture clean, especially if you are using it in an environment with a lot of dust, fog, haze, wild animals, wild teenagers or spilled drinks.
