GENERAL GUIDELINES
NEVER OPEN THIS FIXTURE WHILE IN USE!
During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit
from the interior of the fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by
excess paint in the interior of the casing burning off from the heat
associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over time.
This fixture is a professional lighting effect designed for INDOOR / DRY

6
LOCATIONS ONLY on stage, in nightclubs, theatres, etc.
Please make sure there are NO FLAMMABLE MATERIALS close to the
fixture while operating, to prevent any fire hazard.
The fixture must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at
least 1.5 feet (.5m) from adjacent surfaces. Be sure no air ventilation slots
are blocked.
DO NOT attempt installation and/or operation without knowledge how to
do so.
DO NOT permit operation by persons who are not qualified to operate this
type of fixture. Most damages are the result of operations by
nonprofessionals. Consistent operational breaks may ensure the fixture
will function properly for many years to come.
DO NOT shake fixture, avoid brute force when installing and/or operating
fixture.
Always install the fixture with an appropriate safety cable. When installing
the fixture in a suspended environment, always use mounting hardware
that is no less than M10 x 25 mm, also be sure the hardware is insert in
the pre-arranged screw holes in the bracket of the fixture.
Use the original packaging and materials to transport the fixture in for
service.
DO NOT TOUCH the housing bare-hand during its operation. Turn OFF
the power and allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down
before replacing or serving.

INSTALLATION
C A U T I O N S
For added protection, mount the fixture in areas outside walking paths,
seating areas, or in areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the
fixture.
Ambient operating temperature range for this fixture is 5°to 113°F. (-15°
to 45°C) Do not use the fixture under or above this temperature.
Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure the installation
area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the weight of the fixture.
Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety
attachment, such as an appropriate safety cable.
Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or
servicing.
The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure
that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. And
make sure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure and is
able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight. Also always use a

8
safety cable that can hold 12 times of the weight of the unit when installing the
fixture.
The equipment must be fixed by professionals. And it must be fixed at a place
where is out of the touch of people.
Clamp mounting
The moving head provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that integrates
the bottom of the base, the included ‘Omega Bracket’ and the Safety Cable
rigging point in one unit (see the illustration below).When mounting this fixture
to truss be sure to sere to secure an appropriately rated clamp to the included
Omega Bracket using a M10 screw fitted through the center hole of the
‘omega bracket’. As an added safety measure be sure to attached at least one
properly rated Safety Cable to the fixture using one of the safety cable rigging
point integrated in the base assembly.
DMX-512 control connection:
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the
other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple Moving
head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable

9
with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator:
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy
environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This
helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX
terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which
is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see
illustrations below.
