SAFETY HAZARD ICON KEY
DANGER = avoiding
pending danger will result in serious injury or death.
WARNING = avoiding this warning may result may in serious injury or death.
CAUTION = not exercising caution may result in minor to moderate injury, or property damage.
INSTALLATION
The SS2 Series are active, top-of-the-line RGBW color changing fixtures that can be used in indoor or outdoor projects.They
draw on solid-state elements, to produce highlights and washes in architectural spaces. RGBW is an acronym for Red Green
Blue and White. RGBW LED color mixing luminaires have the potential to produce 4.3 billion colors and 16.7 million white
light tones.
When installed and operated according to this manual, these fixtures will operate safely and dependably for their rated
lifespan.
These luminaries require a USITT DMX 512 control signal on four consecutive channels total. The unit includes a DATA OUT
output for connection to additional units or other DMX512 devices.
SCOPE
The purpose of this manual is to show proper use and installation of color-changing flood lights for peak performance. This
manual must be complimented by additional references, consultation from qualified professional(s), and observance of state
and local codes and regulations. This rule applies to any interior structure, exterior structure, or environment.
Therefore, it is important to: please read and comply with all instructions and warnings in this manual when installing or
using this product.

DATA CONNECTION
•Inline DMX amplifier required if run length exceeds: 125 feet between fixtures (others)
•Maximum run length from DMX controller to last fixture: 1000 feet
•DMX must be continuous from controller to last fixture in a run. A splitter is needed if signal is split
•If provided data cables won’t be used, please note that any cables must meet EIA-RS485 requirements and warranty may
be voided
•To comply with all local codes and jurisdiction, qualified communications technicians must do communications wiring
•To avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to connect to a DMX signal terminator
•Communication cables and AC power lines must not be run in the same conduit
