- Self-contained: Attach the two foot stands to the designated mounting points on the bottom of the fixture using appropriate screws. Place the fixture on a stable, level surface.
- Suspended: Use appropriate clamps (not included) to secure the fixture to a truss or other overhead structure. Always use a safety cable (not included) as a secondary attachment to prevent accidental falling.
5.2. Connections
Connect the power and DMX cables to the fixture as follows:
- Power Connection: Use the provided 1.2m Powercon cable to connect the fixture to a suitable AC100V-240V power outlet. The fixture features Power IN and Power OUT ports for daisy-chaining multiple units.
- DMX Connection: For DMX control, connect a DMX controller to the DMX IN port using a 3-pin DMX signal cable. If daisy-chaining multiple fixtures, connect the DMX OUT of the first fixture to the DMX IN of the next.
6. Operation
The SHEHDS Beam 8x12W RGBW Moving Head Light offers multiple control modes for versatile use.
