ETUP Lamp You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. A HMI575 high intensity discharge lamp is included. Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement.
Power Your product is equipped with an internal input-voltage select switch. Warning! Verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the line voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground. • To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart.
Mounting Orientation All models described in this manual can sit on stage or be mounted on a truss using a clamp in any position, provided, there is adequate room for ventilation. Warning It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway.
