2.   The Sonic Beam II

TM

 uses four DMX channels to operate; 

      Channel 1 is mirror pan, channel 2 is mirror tilt, channel 3 is 

      gobo/color, and channel 4 is shutter.

3.   To run your fixture in DMX mode, plug in the fixture via the 

      XLR connections to any standard DMX controller. - Follow the 

      set-up specifications that come with your DMX controller. 

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and 

external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to opti-

mize light output.  
1.  Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the 

      outside casing.

2.  Use a brush to wipe down the fan grill.

3.  Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth 

      every 20 days.

4.  Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth 

      every 30-60 days.

5.   Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging 

      the unit back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the 

fixture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).
