To connect for control ler operation
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 controller
to the input of the next fixture. If 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 fixture. A
termination plug is simply an XLR 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 16. 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 16.

The mechanical shutter opens, closes, and strobes at variable and random rates up to
11.4 Hz. It also provides an optional low-resolution dimmer function that can be
enabled by toggling the intensity personality setting (
