4. Setup
4.1 Mounting
The fixture can be mounted on a truss, ceiling, or placed on a flat surface. Ensure the mounting location is stable and can support the weight of the fixture. Use appropriate clamps and safety cables when suspending the unit.
4.2 Power Connection
Connect the provided power cable to the power input on the rear of the fixture and then to a suitable power outlet (AC 100-240V, 50/60Hz).
4.3 DMX Connection
To control the fixture via DMX, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the DMX IN port of the first fixture. For multiple fixtures, daisy-chain them by connecting the DMX OUT of the first fixture to the DMX IN of the next, and so on. Set a unique DMX address for each fixture using the control panel.
