Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on purchasing Cyc Out™, the ultimate RGBW colored LED strobe/cyc
light with intense ash eects, in every pulse variant! Now that you’ve got your Cyc
Out™ (or hopefully, OUTs), you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as if
it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the packing
material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing materials. If a
xture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the xture be returned in
the original box and packing.
Powering Up!
All xtures must be powered directly o a switched circuit and cannot be run o a
rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.
AC Voltage Switch - Not all xtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that
the xture you receive is suitable for your local power supply. See the label on the
xture or refer to the xture’s specications chart for more information. A xture’s
listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the
xture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists that it is
set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line
voltage applied. Damage to your xture may result if the line voltage applied
does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All
xtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).
