Master/Slave Fixture Linking 

1.  Link the fixtures as indicated in steps 1 to 4 of the previous section. 

2.  The setup of the Master/Slave or Stand-alone operation often requires the first fixture in the chain 

to be initialized accordingly via settings in the control.  

3.  In addition, in the Master/Slave mode, the fixtures that follow may also need to be initialized as 

“slaves.” Please consult the 

Operating Instructions

 section in this manual for complete 

instructions for this type of configuration. 

 

 

 

 

Mounting 

Orientation

Rigging  

It is important never to obstruct the vents pathway. Mount the fixture using, a suitable “C” or “O” type 

clamp. Adjust the angle of the fixture by loosening both knobs and tilting the fixture. After finding the 

desired position, retighten both knobs. 

 

When selecting an installation location, consider ease of access to the fixture for operation and 
routine maintenance.  

 

Always use safety cables.  

 

Never mount the fixture in places where it may be exposed to rain, high humidity, extreme 
temperature changes or restricted ventilation.
