The IP rating is commonly expressed as IP (Ingress Protection) is followed by 2 numbers (i.e. 65)
where the numbers define the fixture rating. The first number indicates the size of a particle that can
enter the fixture.. The second number indicates the extent of protection against water entering the
fixture. An IP65 rating in this fixture indicates that dust particles can not enter the fixture. And there is
protection against powerful water spray from entering the fixture from any direction.

The fixture is equipped with 3 pin XLR Sockets for DMX input and output. The sockets are wired in parallel. Only use a
shielded twisted pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3 pin outdoor XLR plugs and connectors in order to connect the
controller with the fixture or the fixture with another.
Caution!
At the last fixture the DMX signal needs to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a
120 Ohm resistor between the (-) and the (+) signal into a 3 pin XLR plug and plug it
in to the last fixture on the signal run. Pre-manufactured terminator plugs are availa-
ble for purchase from your Mega-Lite dealer (HOS-DMXT).

Installation Maintenance: The operator has to make sure that the unit is operating safely and has the installations and
electronics checked by an expert every year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1) All screws used for installing the device or part of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
2) There must not be any deformations on the housing, fixation and installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
3) The electronic power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or sediments.
Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any
safety problems have to be removed.
