SETUP Lamp The xenon 200 watt lamp comes pre-installed from the factory. Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement. Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp with alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
Setup Mounting ORIENTATION This fixture may be mounted in any position provided there is adequate room for ventilation. R IG G IN G Figure 1 - Hanging Bracket It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. Mount the fixture using, a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp.

Operating Instructions Operating Modes • • • A stand-alone mode will listen to sound and run through its diverse range of built in programs. Master/Slave mode will allow the command of up to as many units you want in a synchronized light show to the sound. DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity. Each fixture trait can be controlled individually using any universal DMX-512 controller.
Operating Instructions 102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and notate the start address selected for future reference. If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping to the Appendix Section and read the heading “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful information that will help you understand its use.

APPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX-512 will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance.
