BluesSystem Installation Manual

System Overview

BluesSystem is comprised of BlueDome or BlueBeam fixtures and a One-Zone or Six-Zone LV
Power Supply.

The fixtures mount directly to a junction box (either flush or surface mounted are acceptable,
but not provided) and provide focused light for corridor, stairway, lobby, and backstage
applications.

One zone power supplies are available in Switched Control or DMX512 for wall mount
installation. Six zone power supplies are available for wall mount or rack mount installation.
Models are available with DMX512, Switched Control, or 0-10 VDC Control.

This chapter introduces you to each product and provides specification details for each
BluesSystem product.
