1. GETTING STARTED
What’s In The Box?
• 1 x ProPar™ Vari White LED PAR Fixture
• This Lovely User Manual
Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on your purchase! Now that you’ve got The ProPar™ Vari White (or hopefully, Vari Whites!), 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 pack-
ing.
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 volt-
age 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.
