Installation and Setup
Installation includes mounting, connecting to power, and setting a start
channel to configure the fixture for DMX control.
Unpacking the trackspot® Bolt Fixture
Carefully unpack your fixture and verify that it arrived complete and without any damage. If any
internal or external parts of the fixture are damaged you must notify both the shipping agent
and your sales agent immediately.
Do not discard the shipping carton and packing materials. The carton and packing materials
are specifically designed to protect the product during transport. High End Systems assumes no
responsibility for products damaged during transport. Any product being returned for repair
must be shipped in its original shipping carton and packing materials.
Note: Before sending anything to the factory, be sure to call your HES
dealer/distributor for a Return Authorization (RA) number. The factory
cannot accept any goods shipped without an RA number.
Installing the Power Cord Cap
The trackspot Bolt fixture ships with a US Edison connector. If your application requires a
different connector, you must remove it and install the appropriate power cord cap before you
connect the trackspot Bolt to a power outlet. The type of power cord cap depends on the
location in which the trackspot Bolt will be used; different locations (even within the same
country) might have different power cord cap requirements.
Note: Because of the wide variety of power cord caps used worldwide, High
End Systems cannot make specific recommendations for the
particular power cord cap you should use. Contact a local authority if
you are unsure which type of power cord cap you need.
Power Cord Cap: UK Only
The cores in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:
