If the P12 Wash is operated below 0°, gobo/prism swapping and gobo/prism rotation are reduced in speed. This is a protective mechanism of the P12 Wash, as at low temperatures the lubricant is relatively viscous in the rotational mechanism and can therefore cause the effect to be slurred.
TRUE1 plug (only the powerCON-TRUE1 plug is included in the US version). The installation of the safety plug or the connection of the P12 Wash to the power supply (100-240 Volt, 50 - 60 Hertz) must be carried out by an authorised specialist.
4.3 Wiring the power feed-through ATTENTION: Only have it carried out by a specialist! The P12 Wash has a powerCON-TRUE1 out power output. Depending on the local conditions several devices can be linked by powerCON-TRUE1 in and powerCON-TRUE1 out. Connect a maximum of four (when using 230V/16A) P12 Wash's in a row.
Special cables with etherCON connectors are recommended by Neutrik. The two sockets on the P12 Wash are connected to each other via a switch. Up to 10 devices can be connected in series without any delay. Of course, the spotlights can also be supplied in a star configuration via an external switch.
