waysrequireamasterintensityinput(channels11,12and68

Note: It is good practice to perform a factory reset before these
fixtures are used on any new installation.
This will ensure that settings like the MINT option are set to off
and do not create the potential for confusion. See page 1 for
details of how to perform a factory reset.
