Overview
This section contains a quick guide to safe and proper system installation. Each series of luminaires
has its own section on installation and checkout. For installation information, see the following
sections:
•
"Series 200 Luminaires" on page 80
• "Series 300 Luminaires" on page 84
These instructions are intended for persons already familiar with VARI ❋LITE® equipment.
Note: Some of the terms found in this section are fully explained in the remainder of this manual. For
a brief definition, refer to the
"Glossary" on page 159 .
Fixture Orientation
The orientation of the fixture is determined by which way the pigtail faces as it exits the luminaire. The
way a fixture is hung affects the direction it will point when it reaches its stop mechanism. If one
luminaire is hung differently from the others, the position (focus) will also be different. There should
be some consistent order to the way the pigtail faces: all stage left, all stage right, etc.
