Powering Up

Power Up and Configuration Procedure

Since Lamp On is the default state, the lamp will strike when the luminaire is powered up for the first
time when AC input power cable is connected and power is applied, the luminaire will immediately
begin a calibration sequence that steps it through pan and tilt movements. The internal color, gobo, and
beam mechanisms will also move through a full range of motion. After calibration, the luminaire head
will either stop at its "home" position (which positions the pan axis at mid-rotation and the head
parallel to the yoke with the lens pointing away from the luminaire upper enclosure) or move to its
current DMX-defined position if DMX data is present. All internal mechanisms also move to their
"home" or DMX-defined positions.
Subsequently, depending on the luminaire's setting for Lamp Power-Up State (refer to
Spot Menu System Function Chart" on page
"strike" or ignite - Lamp On (default), b) await calibration completion and then strike - Cal On, or c)
await manual command to strike - Lamp Off.
CAUTION: Before applying power, be sure the luminaire is hung or positioned so that the head and
yoke can move freely without restriction. Make sure service tilt and pan locks are disengaged so
luminaire moves freely.
To power up:
• At each luminaire, apply power by connecting luminaire to input power source (200 to 240VAC).
Luminaire will automatically step through following procedure:
a. If Lamp Power-Up State is set to Lamp On, lamp will strike (ignite).
b. Luminaire will cycle through calibration and stop at "home" position.
c. If Lamp Power-Up State is set to Cal On, lamp will strike (ignite) at end of calibration
