Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode)

1.  Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the 

DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of 

the fi rst fi xture.

2.  Connect the end of the cable coming from the 

fi rst fi xture which will have a (female) 3 pin connec-

tor to the input connector of the next fi xture con-

sisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, proceed 

to connect from the output as stated above to the 

input of the following fi xture and so on.

A quick note:  Often, 

the setup for Master-

Slave and Standalone 

operation requires that 

the fi rst fi xture in the 

chain be initialized for 

this purpose via either 

settings in the control 

panel or DIP-switches. 

Secondarily, the fi xtures 

that follow may also re-

quire a slave setting. 

Check the “Operating Adjustments” section in this manual for com-

plete instructions for this type of setup and confi guration.

Mounting & Rigging
This fi xture may be mounted in any SAFE position provided there is 

enough room for ventilation.

It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. Mount the 

fi xture using a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp.  The clamp should be 

rated to hold at least 10x the fi xture’s weight to ensure structural sta-

bility.  Do not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure 

properly “rated” rigging is used when mounting fi xutres overhead.

Adjust the angle of the fi xture by loosening both knobs and tilting the 

fi xture. After fi nding the desired position, retighten both knobs.

•  When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp 

replacement access (if applicable) and routine maintenance.
•  Safety cables MUST ALWAYS be used.
•  Never mount in places where the fi xture will be exposed to rain, 

high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.

4. OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS

The Control Panel

All the goodies and different modes possible with the Flurry™ Spot are

to the previous higher-level menu item.

<UP>

<DOWN> 
Scrolls through menu items and numbers in descending order.

<ENTER>  
Is used to select and confi rm/store the current selection.

The Control Panel LED Display shows the menu items you select from 

the menu map on page #11. When a menu function is selected, the 

display will show immediately the fi rst available option for the selected 

menu function. To select a menu item, press <ENTER>.

Press the <MODE/ESC> button repeatedly until you reach the desired 

menu function. Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to navigate the 

menu options. Press the <ENTER> button to select the menu function 

currently displayed, or to enable a menu option. To return to the previ-

ous option or menu without changing the value, press the 

<MODE/ESC> button.
