Setting up
Install the SL-H7 or SL-H12 by using the mounting bracket on trussing or as a floor stand.
Experiment with positioning and distance to get the best coverage for the area to be lighted.
For DMX or master/slave control, link DMX out to DMX in using good quality DMX leads.
Connect to mains using the appropriate IEC lead, checking that the supply voltage is correct.
If an SL-FC4 controller is to be used, connect this via the 8P8C (RJ45) connector.
