Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on your purchase of the G-Mix™ 200! Now that you’ve got your G-Mix™ 200 (or hopefully more) 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 factory

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.

See the label on the xture or refer to the xture’s specications for more information. The listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. All xtures

must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).
