Caution!
1. Do not connect fixture to a dimmer system.
2. This unit has Auto switching power supply. It will respond to 110V or 220V automatically
The external power supply output is a 9V DC, 100mA type
This fixture is equipped with an electronic power supply that will let the unit operate from 100V to 240V from 50Hz to 60Hz
The fixture is equipped with 3 and 5 pin XLR Sockets for DMX input or output. The sockets are wired in parallel. Only use a
shielded twisted pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3 or 5 pin XLR plugs.
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).
