The xture can be controlled using any DMX-compliant controller as well as automac oper-
aon mode , sound to light mode and manual mode.
BEFORE USING THE PRODUCT FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Read ’Safety informaon’ on page 4 before installing, operang or servicing the xture.
2. Unpack and ensure that there is no transportaon damage before using the xture. Never
aempt to operate a damaged xture.
3. If the xture is not going to be hard-wired to a mains supply, aach a local power plug to
the end of the supplied power cable.
4. Before operang, ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply match the
power requirements of the xture.
5. Refer to the GLOW® website for the most recent user documentaon and technical infor-
maon about this xture.
MAXIMIZING LAMP LIFE SPAN
To make sure you get the most out of the lamp life span please follow these simple steps:
1. Each me you power the lamp on, allow it to warm up for at least 5 min before shung it
down.
2. Aer the lamp is turned o allow the lamp at least 8 minutes to cool before moving the
xture.
3. Before shung the power completely, power o the lamp but leave power applied to the
xture for a few minutes so that the cooling fans can prevent any momentary temperature
increase caused by heat emied from the other components.
INTRODUCTION

SOLARIS® HITMAN230™ 6
INSTALLATION
The xture is designed for indoor use only and must be used in a dry locaon with adequate
venlaon. Ensure that none of the xture’s venlaon slots are blocked and ensure that the
xture is fastened to a secure structure or surface. Do not use the xture to illuminate sur-
faces less than 8 m (approx 26.) from the xture.
FASTENING THE FIXTURE TO A FLAT SURFACE
The xture can be fastened to a hard, xed, at surface that is oriented at any angle. Ensure
that the surface and all fasteners used can support at least 10 mes the weight of all xtures
and equipment they will support. Fasten the xture Securely. Do not place it on a surface or
leave it where it can be moved or fall over.
If you install the xture in a locaon where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it
as directed below with a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the xture if the pri-
mary fastening method fails.
MOUNTING THE FIXTURE ON A TRUSS
The xture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientaon. When
installing the xture hanging vercally down, you can use an open-type clamp such as a
G-clamp. When installing in any other orientaon, you must use a half-coupler clamp
that completely encircles the truss or pipe circumference.
To clamp the xture to a truss:
1. Check that the rigging structure can support at least 10 mes
the weight of all xtures and equipment to be installed on it.
2. Block access under the work area.
3. Working from a stable plaorm, hang the xture on the
truss and fasten the rigging clamps onto the truss.
4. Secure the xture with a safety cable as directed below.
5. Check that the head will not collide with other xtures or objects.
WARNING! READ SAFETY INFORMATION ON
PAGE 3 BEFORE INSTALLING THE FIXTURE.

7SOLARIS® HITMAN230™
Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the xture with power must be
located near the xture and easily accessible so that the xtures can easily be disconnect-
ed from power.
Do not insert or remove power cable to apply or cut power, as this may cause arcing at the
terminals that will damage the connectors.
Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the xture, as this may cause
damage to the xture that is not covered by the product warranty. The xture can be hard-
wired to a building electrical installaon if you want to install it permanently, or a power
plug (not supplied) that is suitable for the local power out- lets can be installed on the
power cable.
If you replace power plug on the power cable, install a grounding type (earthed) plug with
integral cable grip that is rated minimum 250 V, 5 A.
The xture has an auto-ranging power supply that accepts AC mains power at 100-240 V
at 50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power at any other voltage or frequency to the xture.
For protecon from electric shock, the xture must be grounded (earthed). The
power distribuon circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and
ground-fault (earth-fault) protecon.

WARNING! READ SAFETY INFORMATION ON
PAGE 3 BEFORE SERVICING THE FIXTURE.
SECURING WITH A SAFETY CABLE
Secure the xture with a safety cable (or other secondary
aachment) that is approved for the weight of the xture
so that the safety cable will hold the xture if a primary
aachment fails. Loop the safety cable through and around
a secure metal anchoring point.

DMX DATA LINK
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the xture via DMX. The xture
has 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The number of daisy-chained
xtures is limited by the number of DMX channels required by the xtures in relaon to
the maximum 512 channels available in one DMX universe. Note that if independent con-
trol of a xture is required, it must have its own DMX channels.
Fixtures that are required to behave idencally can share the same DMX address and
channels. To add more xtures or groups of xtures when the above limit is reached, add
a DMX universe and another daisy-chained link.
CONNECTING AND USING DMX DATA LINK
To connect the xture to data:
1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the rst xture’s male XLR
DMX input connector.
2. Connect the rst xture’s DMX output to the DMX input of the next xture and conn-
ue connecng xtures output to input.

Disconnect the xture from mains power and allow to cool completely before cleaning or
servicing. Service xtures in an area where there is no risk of injury from failing parts, tools
or other materials. Excessive dust, smoke uid, and parcle buildup degrades performance,
causes overheang and will damage the xture. Damage caused by inadequate cleaning or
maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
CLEANING
The cleaning of lenses must be carried out periodically to opmize light output. Cleaning
schedules for lighng xtures vary greatly depending on the operang environment. It is
therefore impossible to specify precise cleaning intervals for the xture. Environmental fac-
tors that may result in a need for frequent cleaning include:
• Use of smoke or fog machines.
• High airow rates (near air condioning vents, for example).
• Presence of cigaree smoke.
• Airborne dust (from stage eects, building structures and ngs or the natural environ-
ment at outdoor events, for example).
If one or more of these factors is present, inspect xtures within their rst 100 hours of oper-
aon to see whether cleaning is necessary. Check again at frequent intervals. This procedure
will allow you to assess cleaning requirements in your parcular situaon.
Use gentle pressure only when cleaning, and work in a clean, well-lit area. Do not use any
product that contains solvents or abrasives, as these can cause surface damage.
CLEANING THE FIXTURE
1. Disconnect the xture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose parcles from the outside of the xture and
air with low-pressure compressed air
3. Clean lenses by wiping gently with a so, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak de-
tergent soluon. Do not rub the surface hard: li parcles o with a so repeated press. Dry
with a so, clean, lint-free cloth or low pressure compressed
air. Remove stuck parcles with an unscented ssue or coon swab moistened with glass
cleaner or dislled water.
4. Check that the xture is dry before reapplying power.
