What’s In The Box?

Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations! The power of 6-in-1 RGBAW+UV color mixing is now all yours! So now
that you’re the proud owner of a ProPar Seven.6™ (or hopefully, ProPars!), 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 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 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).
Getting A Hold Of Us
If something is wrong, just give us a call or send an email. We’ll be happy to
help, honest.
