1. Apply power but do not strike the lamp until zoom has been calibrated.
2. To calibrate zoom, first remove the bottom head cover. Select
Adjust the offset until the face of the zoom lens plate is flush with the back edge of the focus plate. Press
[Enter] to save the setting. Replace the bottom head cover.
3. Pan calibration is most useful when multiple fixtures are stacked vertically. To calibrate, set zoom, focus,
iris, and tilt position for easy one-over-the-other comparison and set each fixture to the same pan DMX
value. Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select
and press [Enter]. Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press
[Enter] to save the setting.
4. Tilt calibration is most useful when multiple fixtures are arranged horizontally. To calibrate, set zoom,
focus, iris, and pan position for easy side-by-side comparison and set each fixture to the same tilt DMX
value. Select one fixture to be the reference fixture. On the other fixtures, select
and press [Enter]. Adjust the offset as necessary to align the beam with the reference beam. Press
[Enter] to save the setting.

6. To calibrate color mixing flags (cyan, magenta and yellow), project white beams with no dimming and
position them for easy comparison. On each fixture, including the reference, select

7. Focus calibration is useful when two or more fixtures are the same distance from a projection surface.
To calibrate focus, set up all fixtures with the same focus, zoom, dimming, iris, and gobo values. Select
a focused fixture to be the reference. On the other fixtures, select
[Enter]. Adjust the offset to focus the image. Press [Enter] to save the setting.

The cooling fans can be set to either full speed or thermostatically regulated operation via
In lower ambient temperature environments, regulated operation is recommended if reduced noise levels
are desired. Service life of lamps, fans, etc. is maximized if fans are set to full speed.
