AC power
Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before
connecting the fixture to AC mains power.
Warning! The mains power input cable supplied with the
fixture is rated 6 A and can supply only one fixture with
mains power. Do not connect any device to the fixture’s
MAINS OUT power throughput socket when using this input
cable. If you want to connect other fixtures to the MAINS
OUT socket, see ‘Linking fixtures to power in a chain’ on
page 13.
For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded
(earthed). The power distribution circuit must be equipped with a
fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the
fixture with power must be located near the fixture and easily
accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from
power.
Do not insert or remove live Neutrik PowerCon connectors to apply or cut
power, as this may cause arcing at the terminals that will damage the
connectors.
Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture, as this
may cause damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.
The fixture can be hard-wired to a building electrical installation if you want to
install it permanently, or a power plug (not supplied) that is suitable for the
local power outlets can be installed on the power cable.
If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding type
(earthed) plug with integral cable grip that is rated minimum 250 V, 6 A. Follow
the plug manufacturer’s instructions and connect the wires in the power cable
as shown in this table:

3 and 5-pin XLR sockets are provided for DMX input and output (throughput).

RUSH™ MH 6 Wash CT User Manual 15
Control data link
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX. The
fixture has 3-pin and 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output.
Up to 32 devices can be linked together on a single daisy chain. The total
number of fixtures in one 512-channel DMX universe is limited by the number
of DMX channels required by the fixtures. Note that if independent control of a
fixture is required, it must have its own DMX channels. Fixtures that are
required to behave identically can share the same DMX address and
channels. To add more fixtures or groups of fixtures when the above limits are
reached, add a DMX universe and/or split the daisy-chained link into
branches.
Tips for reliable data transmission
Use shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard
microphone cable cannot transmit control data reliably over long runs. 24
AWG cable is suitable for runs up to 300 meters (1000 ft.). Heavier gauge
cable and/or an amplifier is recommended for longer runs. The pin-out on all
connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+). Pins 4 and 5
in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used in the fixture but are available for
possible additional data signals as required by the DMX512-A standard.
Standard pin-out is pin 4 = data 2 cold (-) and pin 5 = data 2 hot (+).
To split the link into branches, use an opto-isolated splitter such as the
Martin™ DMX 5.3 Splitter. Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in
the output socket of the last fixture. The termination plug, which is a male XLR
plug with a 120-Ohm, 0.25-Watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3,
“soaks up” the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference. If a
splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.
Connecting the data link
To connect the fixture to data:
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest fixture’s
male XLR DMX input connector.
2. Connect the first fixture’s DMX output to the DMX input of the next fixture
and continue connecting fixtures output to input. Terminate the last fixture
on the link with a DMX termination plug.

16 RUSH™ MH 6 Wash CT User Manual
Fixture setup
This section explains the fixture characteristics that can be set that determine
how it can be controlled and will behave. These settings are made using the
menus available from the control panel and are retained even when the fixture
is powered off.
Only the most commonly used menu options for fixture setup are described in
this section. A complete map of the control menu structure and brief
explanations of their purposes can be found on page 25.

DMX addressing
The DMX address, also known as the start channel, is the first channel used to
receive instructions from a DMX controller. The fixture is controlled using
twelve (12) DMX channels. Each DMX controlled fixture must have a DMX
address set. For example, if a fixture has a DMX address of 13, then it uses
channels 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. The following
fixture in the DMX chain could then be set to a DMX address of 25.
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control
channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address if
identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic
purposes and symmetric control, particularly when combined with the inverse
pan and tilt options.
To set the fixture’s DMX address:
