The fixture incorporates an automatic protection from harmful sunlight, which can damage
a fixture's internal components from extended exposure. Fixtures use an internal sensor to
determine their physical orientation, then reorient the fixture towards the ground to prevent
sunlight from entering the lens.
This automatic feature only works when the fixture is powered. If the fixture is unpowered
during setup, it is necessary to manually reorient the lenses away from the sun, and aim them
towards the ground. Even a few minutes of sun exposure can cause damage inside the fixture.
The Sun Protection setting is accessed via the "No DMX Status" menu.
The automatic sun protection positioning is activated under the following conditions:
1. Power on without DMX signal: the fixture always starts in sun protection mode.
2. No DMX Status "Sun Protection": the fixture enters sun protection mode after approximately
3 minutes.
3. 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 fixture senses
the correct ground orientation. This means that fixtures already facing the ground may not
move their heads.
Hold "Sun Protect Position" for 3s to set the fixture to the sun protection position.
Sun protection status displays as "Sun Protection: Active".
The sun protection position deactivates under the following conditions:
1. Connect DMX signal.
2. Remote DMX control: Hold "Sun Protection Off" for 3s.
To avoid harsh or jarring movements, the sun protection position always uses a 5-second fade
time when it is activated or deactivated.

To reduce wear on the fixture and its components, this mode disables motors and most electronics.
Set the hibernation mode countdown time in the Display Menu: "Status Settings / Personality /
Hibernation". Hibernation can be fully disabled.
The hibernation mode activates under the following conditions:
1. Loss of DMX: the fixture enters hibernation after the timeout expires. Default is 15 minutes.
2. Remote DMX control: Hold "Hibernate Fixture" for 3s
The hibernation mode deactivates under the following conditions:
1. Connect DMX Signal
2. Remote DMX control: Hold "Hibernate Off" for 3s
The fixture will perform a full calibration cycle, then assume the current DMX status.
Please note that the Hibernation does not change the PT position of the fixtures, allowing the
user to set the desired position and then issue the Hibernate command.
To ensure the fixture is protected from harmful sunrays it is recommended to either leave the
"No DMX Status" in "Sun Protection" (so the fixture is already in the correct position after 3
minutes of DMX loss) or set the fixture to a safe Tilt position manually first before hibernation.
Burn and heat damage to the fixture's interior components due to external light sources (sun
or other fixtures shining into the lens) is never covered under the manufacturers warranty.
