automatically at power-up, set the Automatic Lamp-on personality to on

Effe ct s
The mechanical effects reset to their home positions when the fixture is
powered on. Effects can also be reset from the controller on channel 1. If the
DMX Reset personality is off, the reset command on channel 1 executes
only if each of the CMY channels is set to a DMX value from 230 to 232.
Di mmer
The mechanical dimmer provides smooth, high resolution, full-range
dimming on channel 2.
CMY subtractive color mixing
The CMY color mixing system is based on cyan, magenta, and yellow color
filters. A continuous range of colors may be achieved by varying the amount
of each filter from 0 to 100% on channels 3, 4, and 5. To execute specific
color values, channel 6, random color mixing, must be set to 0%.
Note that mixing 3 colors results in a loss of light - the light is blacked out
when all 3 colors are fully applied. For maximum brightness, mix only 2
colors at a time.
If you have Exterior 600 and Exterior 200 fixtures rigged in the same
installation then refer to "Color matching Exterior 200s and 600s" on page
54.
Random color mixing
Random color mixing at slow, medium, and fast speeds is available on
channel 6. The colors can be mixed from any two, or all three, of the primary
subtractive colors. Choosing a random mixing of just two of the primary
subtractive colors will result in the following types of tones:
Combination
Cyan & magenta
Cyan & yellow
Magenta & yellow
DMX Controller operation
Result
Bluish tones
Greenish tones
