Controls and Functions
1. Power Cord Inlet and Fuse Holder
Power Cord Inlet -
This unit is equipped with a removable I.E.C. power
cord. Be sure to only use the power cord included with the unit, this
cord is designed to match the electrical requirements of the unit. Other
cords may cause the unit to overheat or malfunction. Voltage may vary
from venue to venue, when connecting this unit to a power supply be
sure to connect to a matching power outlet. Never use this fixture if
the ground prong has been removed or broken off. The ground prong
is designed to reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock in the event the
unit suffers from an internal short.
Fuse Holder -
This housing stores a 8 amp (4 amp 220v) GMA pro-
tective fuse. Never defeat the fuse, the fuse is designed to protect the
electronics in the event of severe power fluctuations. Always be sure
to replace the fuse with an exact match as the one being replaced,
unless otherwise told to do so by an authorized American DJ

service
technician.
2. XLR Output Jack -
This jack is used to transmit the incoming
DMX signal to another DMX fixture, or transmit a Master/Slave signal
to the next Illusion 250™ in the chain. For best results in DMX or
Master/Slave mode terminate this jack if it is the last unit in the chain.
