If the P9 Beamspot is operated below 0°, gobo/prism swapping and gobo/prism rotation are reduced in speed. This is a protective mechanism of the P9 Beamspot, as at low temperatures the lubricant is relatively viscous in the rotational mechanism and can therefore cause the effect to be slurred.
The P9 Beamspot is supplied with an assembled Schuko power cable with the powerCON- TRUE1 plug (only the powerCON-TRUE1 plug is included in the US version). The installation of the power connection of the P9 Beamspot to the power supply (100-240 Volt, 50 - 60 Hertz) must be carried out by an authorised specialist.
Connection outside Europe: The P9 Beamspot may only be operated on the following power supply systems: Mains ATTENTION: In Canada, the P9 Beamspot may 2 wires, 1 phase only be operated in a 2-wire, 1 phase network with a maximum voltage of...
Special cables with etherCON connectors are recommended by Neutrik. The two sockets on the P9 Beamspot 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.
Omegabracket distance 223,65 mm ✔ To mount the unit on a trussing system use two of the original JB-Lighting omega brackets with original Camloc-connectors. You have following four possibilities to mount the omega brackets. 223,65 The Camlocs must snap in to be locked properly. Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixture is secure.
6. Control panel The P9 Beamspot has a graphic colour touch display that can be rotated 180° when installed in a suspended position. The display can be rotated in the PERSONALITY MENU or via shortcut ENTER + UP in the main screen.

The P9 Beamspot has 2 operating modes (see channel assignment for P9 Beamspot on page 24). All parameters of P9 Beamspot can be operated via mode 1. However, all channels (except pan/tilt) are controlled with 8 bits. By selecting Mode 2 - 16 Bit the gobo, prism rotation, CMY/ CTO(CTB), dimmer, focus, zoom, the complete shutter slide unit as well as pan/tilt are controlled...

There is no danger to the life of the device in any mode, as the P9 Beamspot has a temperature safety shutdown. In addition, the LED module is switched off from an ambient temperature of 60°C! PAN TILT SPEED - setting pan/tilt speed In the PAN TILT SPEED menu you can set the maximum speed, the acceleration and thus also the movement volume of the P9 Beamspot.
The images can be saved in two ways. Either you program the desired DMX values directly on P9 Beamspot and save them, or you set the DMX values via a connected DMX console and then store them in the P9 Beamspot.
Operation via master-slave function: Connect the P9 Beamspot via DMX lines and activate the REMOTE menu item for all slave devices. To do this, navigate in the STANDALONE menu to the REMOTE sub-menu. Activate the REMOTE function by pressing and holding “ENTER”, and also pressing “ESC”. The spotlight is in slave mode when the display shows the status REMOTE INACTIVE or REMOTE ACTIVE.
