• Ensure the fixture is kept at least 0.5m (1.5ft) away from any flammable materials.

3.2 Mounting Points

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits and knowledge of installation materials and safety inspections. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt installation yourself, as improper installation can result in bodily injury.

Complete all rigging and installation procedures before connecting the main power cord to the appropriate wall outlet.

3.3 Clamp Mounting

The LED moving head features a unique mounting bracket assembly that integrates the bottom of the base, the included 'omega bracket', and the safety cable rigging point. When mounting to a truss, secure an appropriately rated clamp to the omega bracket using an M10 screw through the center hole. Additionally, attach at least one properly rated safety cable to the fixture using one of the integrated safety cable rigging points.

3.4 DMX-512 Control Connection

Connect the provided XLR cable from your controller's female 3-pin XLR output to the moving head's male 3-pin XLR input. Multiple moving heads can be chained together serially. Use a two-core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.

3.5 DMX-512 Connection with DMX Terminator

For installations with long DMX cable runs or in electrically noisy environments (e.g., discotheques), a DMX terminator is recommended. This prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. A DMX terminator is an XLR plug with a 120Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain.
