To connect f or cont rol ler operat ion
1 Connect a data cable to the controller's data output. If controller has a 5-pin
output, use a 5-pin male to 3-pin female adaptor cable (P/N 11820005). Lead the
cable from the controller to the first fixture and plug it into the data input.
2 Connect the output of the fixture closest to the
c o n t ro l l e r t o t h e i n p u t o f t h e n ex t f i x t u r e . I f
connecting to a fixture with reversed-polarity (pin 3
cold), insert a phase-reversing cable between the two
fixtures.
3 Continue connecting fixtures output to input. Up to
32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
4 Terminate the link by inserting a male termination
plug (P/N 91613017) into the data output of the last
f i x t u r e . A t e r m i n a t i o n p l u g i s s i m p ly a n X L R
connector with a 120 ohm, 0.25 W resistor soldered
across pins 2 and 3.

Lamp power can be switched on and off from the controller. When set up for
controller operation, and with the automatic lamp-on personality set to off, the lamp
remains off until a lamp-on command is sent.
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 14. 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
