POWERING UP

POWER-UP PROCEDURE

When AC power is applied, the luminaire immediately begins a calibration sequence. Pan and Tilt will either
move direct to the home position or to the current DMX values depending on menu settings. The internal color
and beam mechanisms will also move through a full range of motion. After calibration, the luminaire head will
either stop at its "home" position (which positions the pan axis at mid-rotation and the head parallel to the yoke
with the lens pointing away from the luminaire enclosure) or move to its current DMX-defined position if DMX
data is present. All internal mechanisms also move to their "home" or DMX-defined positions.
CAUTION: Before applying power, be sure the luminaire is hung (or positioned), and the pan and tilt locks are
disengaged, so that the head and yoke can move freely without restriction.
to power up:
Step 1. At each luminaire, apply power connecting the power cable to the unit.
Step 2. Luminaire automatically steps through calibration and stops at "home" position (only if DMX is not
present).
ADDRESSING

PROGRAM STARTING ADDRESS

The address setting for DMX console controlled systems is entered using the Menu Display. The luminaire retains
the DMX address even if power is removed.

PROGRAM STARTING ADDRESS WITHOUT CALIBRATION
It is possible to bypass the calibration sequence and go directly to the Menu Display programming in order to
pre-program an address setting.
To program starting address without calibrating luminaire:
• Power the luminaire on. As soon as the display says 'Calibrating' touch and hold the MENU button.
• After a few seconds, release the menu button and then program address as in Program Starting Address
above.
