SUN PROTECTION MODE
This fixture incorporates an automatic protection from harmful sun rays, which can damage
the fixture's internal components as a result of extended exposure. The fixture uses an inter-
nal sensor to determine physical orientation, then point the fixture towards the ground to
prevent sunlight from entering the lens.
Please note that this feature only works when the fixture is powered on. When performing
installation or maintenance with the fixture powered off, it is important to always move the
lenses out of direct sunlight and/or point them manually to the ground. Even a few minutes
of sunlight exposure can cause damage to components inside the fixture.
The Sun Protection setting is part of the "No DMX Status" menu, and can be accessed by navi-
gating to PERSONALITY > STATUS SETTINGS > NO DMX STATUS > SUN PROTECTION. A quick
reference is provided in the table below. Refer to the System Menu section of this manual for
detailed information.

The sun protection position is activated under the following conditions:
• Power on without DMX signal: The fixture always starts in sun protection mode.
• No DMX Status set to "Sun Protection" option: The fixture enters sun protection mode
after approximately 3 minutes.
• Remote DMX control: The sun protection position can be temporarily activated from the
lighting console without the need to create a custom position preset. The ability to cor-
rectly orient the lens towards the ground is built into the fixture. Note that this also
means some fixtures hanging straight down may not move their heads. Hold "Sun Protect
Position" for 3s to set the fixture to the sun protection position.
The display screen should display the phrase "Sun Protection: Active" to confirm that this
feature has been activated.
The sun protection position is deactivated under the following conditions:
• DMX signal is connected.
• Remote DMX control: Hold "Sun Protection Off" for 3s.
The sun protection position always uses a 5 second fade time when it is activated or deacti-
vated to avoid harsh movements of the fixture.
