Male Termination Connector
A male XLR termination connector is required at the last luminaire (or "far end of the line")
to prevent signal reflections. Signal reflections may cancel out the signal at certain line
lengths, resulting in errors. The terminator is also necessary for software downloads and
running tests on multiple luminaires. To construct your own connector, you will need the
following components:
+ 5-pin, male XLR connector.
+ Two 1/4W 5% 120 ohm resistors.
Note: A male termination connector is also available as an accessory from PRG. See "Replacement Items and
Accessories" on page 5.

Floor Mounting the Luminaire
The luminaire enclosure is sufficient to stabilize the luminaire in a floor installation, provided
that the mounting surface is flat and sturdy.
Connecting Data and Power
A maximum of 32 luminaires may be connected in any one DMX data link.
Note: This maximum limit applies to the luminaire "daisy chain" only. Your system or console may require fewer
luminaires on a single data link path. Consult your console documentation for more information.
To connect power and data:
Step 1. Connect data cable from console to first luminaire in chain at DATA IN connector
(Figure 2-4).
Step 2. If required, connect additional data cables from DATA THRU connectors to DATA IN connectors of
remaining luminaires in link.
Step 3. At last luminaire in link, install male termination connector at DATA THRU connector. (Luminaires and other
devices on the same DMX chain may not function properly without termination.)
Step 4. At each luminaire, connect AC cable from power input source.
Step 5. Dress and secure all cables so that they will not interfere with luminaire head or yoke movement.

POWER UP PROCEDURE
Powering Up the Luminaire
When AC power is applied, the luminaire will begin a calibration sequence which moves its pan, tilt, and lens rotation
mechanisms. After calibration, the luminaire head will either stop at its "home" position (which positions the pan axis
at mid-rotation and the head parallel to the yoke with the lens pointing away from the luminaire upper enclosure) or
move to its current DMX-defined position if DMX512 data is present. The lens rotation mechanism will also move to its
"home" or DMX-defined position.
The lamp is set to off in the default mode. DMX512 control is required to strike the lamp.
CAUTION: Before applying power, be sure the luminaire is hung or positioned so that the head and yoke
can move freely without restriction.
CAUTION: If luminaire is operated without yoke leg covers in place, pan problems will occur.
To power up:
Step 1. At each luminaire, connect AC input cable and apply power. Allow luminaire to complete its calibration
sequence.
Step 2. For normal power up, Display Menu will display "Status OK." After a few seconds, Menu will display a DMX
address or "No Comm" if an address has not been set or no DMX512 signal is detected.
Step 3. To strike lamp, send appropriate DMX512 value from console. Refer to "Control Channel Functions" on
page 21.

Control Channel Functions
Control channel functions allow special actions such as reset, douse and start. These must be executed with zero
time transition or with console timing disabled. Discrete values must be used; not manual controls such as faders or
encoders (see chart below for values).
Reset - resets all luminaire mechanisms.
Douse - turns lamp off.
Start - strikes lamp.
DMX Value Action
85 Reset
168 Douse
252 Start
To use control channel functions:
Step 1. Select an action to be sent.
Step 2. Set control channel value for desired action (for example, 85 for reset). Hold value for 3 seconds.
Step 3. Set control channel value to zero. (This must occur without any scaling values. Action will be voided if other
values are detected between action value and zero.)
Note: A numerical keypad is required for sending values. An encoder or fader does not allow for a quick value
change, which is required to effect the control functions.

LUMINAIRE TIMING
Timing Channel Information
Timing channel control allows for smoother transition and movement of the luminaire mechanisms. In this case, timing
channels are provided for focus (pan/tilt) and beam.
Types of timing control:
+ Timing Control Channel: the luminaire uses its timing channel value to calculate a smooth, continuous movement
for a given time and transition.
+ Console Timing: the console calculates the time duration between the DMX512 increments to be sent for a given
time and transition.
Guidelines:
+ Timing channels support time values of up to six minutes.
+ To use a timing channel instead of console timing, it is necessary to set the timing channel to the desired value
and set cue and/or parameter time to zero. A combination of time controls can produce unexpected results.
+ The default value setting in the profile should be 255 (proportional control) to allow smooth movement when using
console timing.
+ The timing channel data should change as a snap. A zero value will give the fastest move, however, without any
smoothing this can appear "steppy" in console timed moves.
Channel Function
Pan (Hi Byte/Lo Byte)
Tilt (Hi Byte/Lo Byte)
Beam
Timing Channel
Focus Time Beam Time
A timing value of zero is full speed. A time value of 100% (or 255 in DMX) enables the associated parameter(s) to
follow cue fade time (console time) rather than the timing channel.
Note: For instructions on storing syntax and writing cues, refer to your particular console manual.
To use these channels, you must:
Step 1. Create the cue, including beam and position settings as required.
Step 2. Decide which fixtures and which parameters will use timing channels.
Step 3. Assign a value to the particular timing channel(s) you wish to use (for timing information, see chart on next
page).
Step 4. Set console timing (or cue fade time) for parameters and timing channels to zero seconds.
Step 5. Store cue.
Note: Avoid changing timing channel values in a fading cue. This can cause unexpected behavior in the luminaire as
the timing channel value is updated over time. Timing channel values and the final destination of the parameters
affected by the timing channel should always be sent in a zero count.

To align lamp:
Step 1. Remove power from luminaire.
Step 2. Remove front lens (refer to "Replacing Front Lens" on page 32).
Step 3. At backcap, using
centered within the reflector hole. This can be done by visually looking at the lamp from the front (while the
lens is removed).
Step 4. Once lamp is centered, install a clear lens. (Lenticular lenses are not recommended for alignment
purposes.)
Step 5. Power-up luminaire, strike lamp and allow it to achieve full brightness (about 1 minute).
Step 6. Position beam on a white wall at a distance of 10 to 20 feet.
Step 7. Using two adjustment screws, adjust as needed so that "hot spot" is centered within beam.
Step 8. Using meter and two adjustment screws, adjust so that brightness is maximized as follows:
a. Turn adjustment screws equally 1/2 turn clockwise
brightness increases or decreases. Do one of the following:
1)
If brightness increases
increases.
2)
If brightness decreases
