Safety
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! The light source in this luminaire is not
user-replaceable, and must be replaced only by a qualified technician. Contact
ETC Customer Support for assistance.
AVERTISSEMENT : RISQUE DE DÉCHARGE ÉLÉCTRIQUE! La source lumineuse
de ce projecteur n'est pas remplaçable par l'utilisateur et ne doit être
remplacée seulement par un technicien qualifié. Contactez le service client ETC
pour obtenir de l’assistance.
WARNING: Note the following safety warnings before use:
•
Use the fixture in dry locations only, where humidity does not exceed 90
percent (non-condensing).
•
Connect the fixture to a non-dimmable power source in order to avoid
damage to the fixture's internal power supply and other electrical
components. Using a dimmable power source can damage the fixture and
will void the warranty.
•
Disconnect the fixture from power and DMX and allow it to cool before
installing accessories or performing any cleaning and maintenance.
•
Only use mounting hardware that is rated for the total weight of the
fixture and accessories.
•
In addition to primary suspension, attach a safety cable (or other approved
safety device) to the fixture. Safety cables must be rated to support ten
times the fixture weight. Consult local standards to ensure that safety
cables meet all requirements.
•
Check that the accessory holder is locked and that any accessory safety
cables are connected before mounting the fixture.
•
Do not operate the fixture without the lens installed.
•
Do not use this fixture with a damaged power lead. If the power lead
(cord set) is damaged, it must be replaced.
•
Do not use this fixture if the lens is deeply scratched or cracked. You must
replace the lens when it is damaged.
AVERTISSEMENT : Prendre connaissance des avertissements de sécurité
suivants avant toute utilisation :
•
Débranchez le projecteur de son alimentation et du DMX et laissez-le
refroidir avant d’installer des accessoires ou d’effectuer un nettoyage ou
un entretien.
•
N’utilisez que de la quincaillerie de montage adaptée au poids total des
projecteurs et des accessoires.
•
En plus de la suspension principale, fixez une chaîne de sécurité (ou tout
autre dispositif de sécurité homologué) au projecteur. Les chaînes de
sécurité doivent être en mesure de supporter dix fois le poids du
projecteur. Consultez les normes locales pour vous assurer que les câbles
de sécurité respectent toutes les exigences.
•
Vérifiez que le porte-accessoires est verrouillé et que les élingues de tous
les accessoires sont bien attachées avant de monter le projecteur.
•
Ne pas utiliser ce projecteur avec un cordon d’alimentation endommagé.
Si le cordon d’alimentation (câble) est abîmé, il doit être remplacé.

4. If necessary, move the adjustable yoke (D) to balance
the fixture when using heavier accessories.
Connect Power and Data
1. Attach five-pin XLR cable to the DMX In connector (if using external control).
2. Plug the XLR cable (if using) into the DMX source or data daisy-chain.
3. Use the DMX Thru connectors to connect up to 32 device loads on the DMX daisy chain.
4. Use the Power Thru connectors to connect other fixtures using the following recommended
guidelines.
•
Power Thru: Link up to 9fixtures (14A max) via Power Thru connector when using an R20
Relay Module (consult breaker-trip curves when using other equipment).
5. Attach the power cable to the Power In connector, and then plug the power cable into
ACpower (100–240VAC, 50/60 Hz) on a non-dimmable circuit.

6. Press the Intensity encoder to turn off the LEDarray.
Use Fixture in DMX Mode
After you connect power and data to the fixture and provide DMX, press the Function button ( ),
use the Intensity encoder to navigate to DMX Mode, and then press the Intensity encoder to select
it. In the DMX screen, you can set the DMX address, DMXmode, and DMXloss behavior.
The DMX screen displays the current DMX values. Press any of the encoders to "wake" the display,
and then press any of the encoders to edit the values. The colors of the encoders correspond to
