DMX-512 Connection
110V 50/60hz Connection
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 XLR plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or
the fixture with another.
DMX—input DMX—output
1. Shield
2. Signal (-)
3. Signal (+)
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 available for
purchase from your Mega-Lite dealer (HOS-DMXT).

any of the metal housing.
Due to the difference between lamps. Fine adjustment may improve light performance. You will need to strike the lamp and set
the light so the optical path is clear. You will need to turn the screws A&B one after another a slight turn clockwise and counter
clockwise until you set the hot spot of the light in the center of the image. If no hot spot can be seen then set the lamp till the
light is evenly distributed.

Rigging the fixture
Caution!
1. The installations must be carried out by an authorized dealer or trained professional.
2. Unit may cause severe injures if you have doubts concerning the safety do not install.
3. Unit is to be 24inches away from flammable materials (decoration material)
4. Use high quality installation equipment to hang unit.
When rigging a unit it is very important that you follow common safety procedures. Rigging requires extensive experience includ-
ing but not limited to calculating working loads, material being used and periodic safety inspections. If you lack these qualifica-
tions, do not attempt the installation yourself, instead use a professional structural rigger.
When rigging the unit always be secured with a secondary safety attachment. The installation location of the projector has got to
be built in the way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour with out any harming. Installation should be checked at least
one time a year by a skilled person.

Cleaning and maintenance
Installation Maintenance: The operator has to make sure that the unit is operating safely and has the installations and electron-
ics checked by an expert every 2 years.
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) Mechanically moved parts like axles, eyes and other must not show any traces of wearing and must not rotate with unbal-
ances.
4) 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.
Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation!
Caution Danger to life!
We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint free cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents!
1) The objective lens will require periodic cleaning on usage and environment. Environment with foggers will require more peri-
odic cleaning as fog fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light output.
2) The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly. DO NOT blow high pressure air into fans as incorrect rotation can damage the
fans operation.
3) The gobos, dichroic color filters and internal lenses may be cleaned with soft brush using soapy water.
4) The interior of the fixture should be cleaned using a vacuum.
5) We recommend proper lubrication of the motor wheel. The quantity of the oil must not be excessive in order to avoid oil run
outs when motor wheel rotates
Note: There is no serviceable parts inside the device except for the lamp and the fuse. Maintenance and service operations are
to be carried out by authorized dealers.
Replacing the fuse: Only replace the fuse with the same type and rating.
Replacing the power cable: If the power cable of this device becomes damaged, it has to be replaced by authorized dealers only
In order to avoid hazards.
Should you have further questions , please contact your dealer.
