1. GETTING STARTED

What’s In The Box?

• 1 x ToughPar™ Satellight Professional LED PAR Fixture

• This Lovely User Manual

Optional Accessories (sold separately)

The following accessories are available for this xture. But the lone wolves that they are, they must

• PWR-EXT: 3-Meter IP-Rated Power Extension Cable

Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on purchasing one of the toughest PAR xtures anywhere! Now that you’ve got your

ToughPar™ Satellight (or hopefully, Satellight’s!), 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 inspec-

tion. 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 off a switched circuit and cannot be run off 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 specications 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).
