    WARNING! Replace fuses with ones of the same type and rating only. WARNING! Double-pole/neutral fusing. The MAC 350 Entour is protected by two 10 amp slow-blow mains fuses located in fuseholders next to the power input connector. See “Fuse replacement” on page 29 for details of accessing and changing the fuse.

  • Page 11: Data Link

    Data link A data link is required in order to control a MAC 350 Entour via DMX or synchronize fixtures in stand-alone operation. The MAC 350 Entour has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+).
