This fixture is a high-performance fixture suited for many applications. For noise critical
environments like Theater, Opera or Orchestra Halls, it offers various operation modes to remove
any distraction for the audience and performers. Modes can be changed remotely via the DMX
control channel, allowing the fixture to offer high output or whisper silent operation at a moment's
notice. All modes smoothly transition over a brief period, preventing unwanted attraction to the
fixture.

Fan Modes
Auto – The default AUTO mode ensures optimal performance of the fixture. Fans only run at the speeds
needed to keep the LED engine within a safe temperature range. They will turn off if possible, for
example when the fixture is dimmed to a low intensity. Fans sense the ambient and fixture temperature,
and will at all times try to keep noise levels at a minimum. The fixture output will only reduce when the
LED engine cannot be cooled down to its safe operating range due to high ambient temperature. Auto
is the recommend mode for daily operation of the Fuze Max Spot.
Low – In this mode the fixture reduces fan speeds throughout for a lower noise profile of the fixture.
This mode should be sufficient for most uses where lower noise is required. The fixture output is reduced
to about 80%.
High – This mode is only required in very high ambient temperatures when automatic fan speed
adjustments are not desired. High Fan Speed will cool the fixture most efficiently. This mode will increase
wear on the fans and should only be utilized in exceptional circumstances. Fans will always run, even if
the fixture is dimmed. Fixture output is kept at 100% unless the LED engine temperature is too high, at
which point the fixture will reduce power carefully to ensure safe operation.
Low Noise Modes
For very critical situations, this unit offers two additional low noise modes for silent operation. The
fixture output will be reduced, but as the fixture has such an extremely high luminous flux, it still offers
outstanding performance. In low noise modes, all parameters of the fixture operate quieter and with
reduced speeds.
Studio – This mode reduces the fixture output to approximately 50%. Almost all fans inside the fixture
are turned off, and only run when absolutely necessary to keep the fixture at 50% LED power.
Mute – Running the fixture in MUTE mode reduces the fixture to about 25% output, and all fans are off.
The fixture is totally silent.
