Introduction Lamp Alignment How-To Often, after a new installation of a lamp, you will find that there is an uneven field of light or what is referred to as a hot spot. This is due to the most intense point of the lamp source not being positioned optimally within the reflector. S2 There are three lamp alignment screws provided at the base of the projector head. Turning these screws allow you to optimize the projection quality of the spot as well as the overall intensity of the

The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advanc

Maintenance To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance. Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air
