again to re-activate.

Settings stored permanently
The following settings are stored permanently in the fixture memory and are not affected by powering the
MAC Aura PXL off and on or by updating the fixture software:

• DMX control mode (Compact/Basic/Extended/Ludicrous)
• Fixture ID
• All personality settings (pan/tilt, cooling, dimming curve, DMX reset, parameter shortcuts, all display

These settings can be returned to factory defaults using the control menus or via DMX.
Service mode
Holding the Menu and Enter buttons
C
and
E
both pressed in while powering the fixture on puts the fixture
into service mode, in which pan and tilt are disabled and a

mode removes the risk of unexpected head movement during service adjustments.
Cycling power and allowing the fixture to start normally takes it out of service mode.
