rigging point for a safety cable on the underside of the fixture, be sure to use this
point and never secure a safety cable to a carrying handle.

2.3 Connections

2.3.1 Power supply

115v ~ 50/60Hz AC (America's),
Connected load 700W <=> 6.2 A (blind current compensation)
or 230V ~ 50Hz AC (EU),
Connected load 700W <=> 3.1 A (blind current compensation)
Operating voltage is pre-selected at the factory and is not user selectable.
Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure your
fixture voltage matches that of the outlet. The voltage requirements for the
fixture are clearly printed on the side panel near the power cord.

2.3.2 DMX-512

3-Pin XLR Input/Output. [+] = Pin 3 / [-] = Pin 2 / [Ground] = Pin 1
2.4 DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by
most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between
intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions
from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent out as serial data that travels
from fixture to fixture via the DATA "IN" and DATA "OUT" XLR terminals located on
all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA "OUT" terminals). DMX
Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different
manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as
all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data
transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path
possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not
influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of
1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or
anywhere in the middle. Therefore, the first fixture controlled by the controller could
be the last fixture in the chain. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the
DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that fixture, no
