Powering Up
Power-Up Procedure
When the luminaire is powered up for the first time, the default setting is enabled and the lamp will
remain off. When AC power is applied, the luminaire will immediately begin a calibration sequence
that steps it through full pan and tilt movements. The internal color 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 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.
CAUTION: Before applying power, be sure the luminaire is hung (or positioned), and the pan and tilt
locks are disengaged, so that the head and yoke can move freely without restriction.
To power up:
Step 1. At each luminaire, apply power connecting the power cable to the unit.
Step 2. Luminaire will automatically step through calibration and stop at "home" position (only if
DMX is not present).
