1. Cooling Fan - This unit is equipped with three high velocity variable
fans to aid in the cooling process. These fans are designed to vary their
velocity at different operating temperatures, to provide better cooling
when the unit reached higher operating temperatures associated with
long usage. Be sure to never obstruct the cooling fans during normal
usage. Also, be sure to keep the vents clean at all times. A blocked or
malfunctioning cooling system may shorten lamp life and unit reliabil-
ity.
2. XLR Output Jack - This jack is used to transmit the incoming
DMX signal to another DMX fixture, or transmit a Master/Slave signal

Master/Slave mode terminate this jack if it is the last unit in the chain.
