Safety

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should alwa ys be followed including the
following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Do not use outdoors.
Do not let power supply cords touch hot surfaces.
Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
Equipment should be mounted in locations and at
heights where it will not rea dily be subjected to
tampering by unauthorized personnel.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Note:

only by a qualified technician. Contact ETC Customer Support for assistance.

WARNING: Note the following sa fety warnings be fore use:

The light source in this luminaire is not user-repla ceable , and must be re placed

Use the fixture in dry loca tions only, where humidity doe s not exceed 90
percent (non- conde nsing).
Connect the fixture to a non-dimmable power source in order to avoid

damage to the fixture's internal powe r supply and other electrical
compone nts. Using a dimmable power source can damage the fi xture and
will void the warranty.
Di sconne ct the fixture from power and DMX and allow it to cool be fore
insta lling a ccessories or performing a ny cle a ning and mainte nance .
Only use mounting hardware that is ra ted for the tota l weight of the
fixture and accessories.
In addition to prima ry suspe nsion, attach a safety cable (or other approve d
safe ty de vi ce) to the fixture. Safety cables must be ra ted to support ten
time s the fixture we ight. Consul t local standards to e nsure that safety
ca bles mee t all re quire me nts. See

page

.
Che ck tha t the a ccessory holde r is lock ed and tha t any acce ssory sa fety
ca bles are connected be fore mounting the fixture .
Do not mount the fixture on or ne a r a flamma ble surface .
Do not ope rate the fixture without the lens installed.
Do not use this fixture with a damaged power lead. If the powe r lea d
(cord set) is damage d, it must be replaced.
Do not use this fixture if the lens is dee ply scratched or cra cke d. You must
repla ce the lens whe n it is damaged.

The use of acce ssory equipment not
recommended by the manufacturer
may cause an unsafe condition.
Do not use this equipme nt for other
than intended use.

Vé rifiez que le porte-a ccessoires est verrouillé e t que les élingues de tous
le s accessoires sont bien atta ché es ava nt de monte r le proje cte ur.
Ne pa s installer le projecteur sur ou à côté d’une surface infl a mmable .
N’ utilisez pas le projecteur sa ns que la lentil le soit installée.
Ne pa s utiliser ce projecteur avec un cordon d’alime nta tion endomma gé.
Si le cordon d’alime nta tion (câ ble) e st abîmé, il doit être remplacé .
N’ utilisez pas ce proje cte ur si la l e ntille prése nte des rayures ou des

Mounting and Safety Cables

You can mount the fixture using a cla mp, baby-pin (16mm) receiver, or
spigot on the yoke(A), or you can set the fixture on the floor or another
flat surface. When suspending the fixture, make sure to secure the
fixture with an appropriate safety cable at the safety cable attachment
point (B) .

If necessary, move the adjustable yoke (D in ima ge below) to balance
the fixture. Use a 13 mm socket wrench to loose n the bolt and shift the
yoke position, and then tighten the bolt to secure the yoke .

Add Accessories

You can use up to two standard accessories (one scrim and
one a dditional accessory, such as a barn door) in the
accessory holder.

1. Unlock the accessory holder on either side by pressing

2. Slide an accessory into one of the acce ssory slots. Add a

Connect Power and Data

1. Attach five-pin XLR cable to the
DMX In conne ctor (if using external
control).

2. Plug the XLR cable (if using) into the
DMX source or data daisy-chain.

3. Use the DMX Thru connectors to
conne ct up to 32 device loads on
the DMX daisy chain.

4. Are you using AC power or battery
power?

AC power: Continue to step5.
Battery power:Continue to step6.

5. Use the Powe r Thru connectors to
conne ct other fixtures using the
following recommended guidelines,
and then continue to step 6:

Power Thru: Link up to 6 additional
fixtures (12A max) via Power Thru
conne ctor when using an R20 Relay Module (consult break er-trip curves when using other
equipment).

6. Supply power to the fixture in one of these ways:

Attach the power cable to the Powe r In connector, and then plug the power cable into AC
power (100–240VAC, 50/60 Hz) on a non-dimmable circuit.
Attach the three-pin XLR cable to the Ba tte ry connector, and then plug the cable into the
battery (24–36VDC). Cable must be rate d for 10A or greater.

CAUTION:

Maximum fixture output may be reduced when the fixture is connected to battery
power.

Do not connect the fixture to the battery when AC power is present.

Focus the Fixture

1. Apply power to the fixture, and wait until the fixture has booted up(the ETC splash screen
displays during boot up).

2. Press any encoder to "wake " the display.

3. W hat screen is currently displayed?

DM X:Press the Intensity e ncoder to turn on the LED a rra y. The display shows a timeout
countdown to indicate how long the LED array will remain on at 100% intensity. You can
turn the Intensity encoder to reset the timeout countdown to 5minutes.
All othe r screens (S tudio, Pre set, etc.): Press the Intensity encoder to turn on the
LEDarra y, and turn the Intensity encoder to adjust the intensity.

4. Adjust the fixture to the de sired position.

5. Rotate the zoom knob on either side of the fixture to adjust from spot to flood.

6. Press the Intensity encoder to turn off the LEDarray.
