Setup
3. Setup
AC Power
The Maverick Force s Spot has an auto-ranging power supply, and it can work with an input voltage range
of 100 to 240 V~, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (e.g., circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the
current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel or refer to the product’s specifications
chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
Power Linking
It is possible to link up to 2 Maverick Force s Spot products at 100 V, 2 products at 120 V, 5 products at 208 V,
5 products at 230 V, or 5 products at 240 V. Never exceed this number. Power-linking cords can be purchased
separately.
AC Plug
The Maverick Force s Spot comes with a power input cord terminated with a Seetronic Powerkon IP65
connector on one end and an Edison plug on the other end (U.S. market). If the power input cord that came
with the product has no plug, or if the plug needs to be changed, use the table below to wire the new plug.
Fuse Replacement
1.
Disconnect this product from the power outlet.
2.
Using a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
3.
Remove the blown fuse, and replace with another fuse of the same type and rating (F 10 A, 250 V).
4.
Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.
Remote Device Management (RDM)
Remote Device Management, or RDM, is a standard for allowing DMX-enabled devices to communicate
bi-directionally along existing DMX cabling. Check the DMX controller’s User Manual or with the
manufacturer as not all DMX controllers have this capability. The Maverick Force s Spot supports RDM
protocol that allows feedback to make changes to menu map options.
USB Software Update
The Maverick Force s Spot allows for software update through USB using the built-in USB port. To update
the software using the USB flash drive, do the following:
1.
Power on the fixture and plug the flash drive into the USB port.
2.
Once the flash drive has been detected, the message “Upgrade Firmware” will be displayed.
Press <
ENTER
>. If a different message appears on the display, search for the updated software
in the
Menu (Updated Firmware)
. A list of the updated software files will be displayed.
3.
Select the file that needs to be uploaded. The message “Are you sure?” will be displayed. Press
<
ENTER
>.
4.
If the selected file is correct, the update will be completed. Restart fixture.
If the selected file is incorrect, the update will fail, and the display will go back to the main
interface. Repeat steps 1–3 using the correct file.
•
Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure
the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
•
To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use
completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the
rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.
