4.1 Mounting

The THA-250F is equipped with a robust mounting bracket for secure installation. Ensure the mounting surface or truss system can support the weight of the fixture (approximately 9.35 kg) and any additional accessories.

For DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the DMX IN socket on the THA-250F (refer to Figure 3.3). To daisy-chain multiple units, connect a DMX cable from the DMX OUT socket of the first unit to the DMX IN socket of the next unit. Always terminate the last unit in a DMX chain with a 120 Ohm DMX terminator.
