              Discharge Lamp Warning

This fixture is fitted with a discharge lamp which 
is  highly  susceptible  to  damage  if  improperly 
handled. Never touch the lamp with your bare fin-
gers as the oil from your hands will shorten lamp 
life.  Also,  never  move  the  fixture  until  the  lamps 
have had ample time to cool. Remember, lamps 
are not covered under warranty conditions.

This unit emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the eyes and 
skin.  The  intense  luminance  of  the  lamp  can  cause  severe  damage 
to the retina. Never operate this unit without it’s covers, these covers 
have been specially designed to shield against UV radiation.

Epileptic Warning: 

Those suffering from epilepsy should avoid looking 

directly into the lamp at all times.

Avoid switching the fixture on and off repeatedly in short intervals as 
this will reduce lamp life and intensity.
To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these lamps  
use gas sealed in a high pressure environment to emit a brilliant output.  
Due to the high pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, 
the  lamp  may  explode  during  prolonged  extensive  use.  This  risk  is 
increased with age, added care is encouraged when dealing with older 
lamps.  Extreme  caution  should  be  used  when  operating  this  or  any 
fixture fitted with a gas discharge lamp. Never open this unit while in 
use.

Caution!

 There are no user serviceable parts inside this unit. Do not 

attempt  any  repairs  yourself,  doing  so  will  void  your  manufactures 
warranty.  In  the  unlikely  event  your  unit  may  require  service  please 
contact American DJ

              RDMX

Regarding RDMX :

1. The units will be shipped preset in 16 channel increments     
    from the factory
2. While using RDMX, if all units are set to the same DMX  
    address, all units will change to the new DMX address you  
    selected. 

EXAMPLE: 

You have four units, and all the units are set to the 

DMX address of “1”, and you change one unit to DMX address 
“17”, this will cause all the units to change to DMX address 
“17”. 
All four units must be on 4 different starting addresses  to indi-
vidually set the DMX addresses for each unit. 

For more on this feature see pages 22-23.
