General set up
 Mount the fixture in the required position. The integral yoke can
act as a floor stand or hanger.
Important
• When suspended off ground, always use a safety wire rated
to a minimum of 34kg (75lbs) around the yoke.
• Do not position the fixture close to fog machines. The fog oil
mist will be drawn in by the cooling fan and will short out
important components. The warranty will be void for all
fixtures returned in such a condition.
2 Where external control is to be used, connect a DMX lead (XLR
5-pin female) to the input socket at the rear of the fixture.
