5. Setup
5.1 Physical Installation
The light bar can be placed on a flat surface or mounted using the included hooks and knob gaskets. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and can support the weight of the fixture(s).
- Attach the mounting brackets to the light bar using the provided screws.
- Adjust the angle of the light bar using the adjustable brackets (180° adjustable).
- For hanging installations, use appropriate clamps and safety cables (not included) to secure the fixture to a truss or ceiling.
5.2 Power Connection
Connect the provided power cord to the 'POWER IN' port on the back of the unit and then to a suitable power outlet. For multiple units, use the 'POWER OUT' port to daisy-chain power to subsequent fixtures.
5.3 DMX Connection (Optional)
To control the light bar via DMX, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller to the 'DMX IN' port of the first fixture. For multiple fixtures, connect from the 'DMX OUT' of the first fixture to the 'DMX IN' of the next, and so on. Ensure the last fixture in the chain has a DMX terminator (not included) connected to its 'DMX OUT' port for stable signal transmission.
