• Never operate the fixture without all lenses and covers installed: an unshielded lamp emits dangerous UV radiation that can cause burns and eye damage. Preventing injuries due to falls • When suspending the fixture above ground level, verify that the structure can hold at least 10 times the weight of all installed devices.
POWER The Ego has an auto-ranging power supply that can operate in the following voltage ranges at 50-60 Hz: • 90-130 volts • 200-260 volts I N S T A L L I N G A P L U G O N T H E M A I N S L E A D The fixture’s mains lead may require a grounding-type cord cap that fits your power distribution cable or outlet.

PERATION To achieve optimal results the use of smoke effects together with your Ego is recommended. The lamp turns on as soon as power is applied. The effect wheel/s and mirror dish begin to rotate. The action is varied whenever trigger signals are generated as a result of sounds picked up by the built-in microphone (manual trig) or randomly (when the fixture is in auto trig mode).
Adjusting the speed of effect wheel As long as the Idle Speed dial is not in the Auto Trig zone it is used to adjust the speed of rotation of the effects wheel/s between trigger signals. F O C U S I N G T H E E G O Adjust the focus using the thumb screw next to the lens.
