Note: A peak of electric current many times the operating current is drawn briefly
when striking a lamp. Striking many discharge lamps at once may cause a voltage
drop that prevents lamps from striking or trips circuit breakers. When striking
multiple fixtures, space lamp-on commands at 5 second intervals.
The lamp must be allowed to cool for several minutes after turning it off before it
can be turned back on. To prevent accidental lamp-off commands, this command
can be partially disabled from the control panel: see page 19. If a hot lamp does not
strike, send the lamp off command and wait several minutes before trying again.

All effects can be reset to their index positions from the controller. To prevent
accidental resets, the command can be partially disabled from the control panel: see
page 19.

The mechanical shutter opens, closes, and strobes at variable and random rates. The
shutter closes automatically after 10 seconds if the light beam is projected on the
base to prevent heat damage. The shutter opens instantly when the beam is moved.

The focus lens allows focussing from approximately 1 meter to infinity.

The MiniMAC Maestro provides 4 rotating gobo positions. Each position can be
indexed with 8-bit or 16-bit resolution or continuously rotated at variable speeds.

The head pans 540° and tilts 270°. If knocked or jarred out of position, the pan
position automatically resets if the arm reaches the right limit and the tilt position
automatically resets if the arm reaches the bottom limit. In some cases, the limit can
be reached by setting the pan or tilt value to 255. Otherwise, the fixture can be reset
as described above.
