4.1 General
DANGER! Read "
on page 4 before applying power to the
Exterior 1200 Wash.
This section contains general information about the features and functions as well as
basic programming and operating principles of the Exterior 1200 Wash. Read this section
to familiarize yourself with the luminaire before attempting to program or operate it.
4 . 1 . 1 P o w e r i n g o n
Important! Leave the luminaire powered on permanently except during service.
When the luminaire is connected to power for the first time, it will start running a factory-
set light show to test the fixture. It will continue to run this test show until a new show is
programmed into it, or until it receives DMX commands.
When the luminaire is powered on in normal use, the luminaire software version appears
in its display, runs an internal test and resets all effects to start positions. It must complete
this reset before it can respond to DMX commands or run a stand-alone show.
Except during service, maintain power to the luminaire permanently, even when the lamp
is not lit. This will allow cooling fans to regulate the luminaire’s internal temperature if the
sun’s rays are strong enough to cause excessive heating. Heat damage resulting from
failure to maintain power is not covered by the product warranty.
4 . 1 . 2 P o w e r i n g o f f
Important! Switch off the lamp 8 minutes before you cut power to the luminaire.
If the lamp is lit and you wish to cut power (for service, for example), you must first switch
off the lamp via DMX or the onboard control panel and wait at least 8 minutes before you
cut power. This will give cooling fans enough time to reduce the luminaire’s temperature
and avoid heat damage. Damage caused by failure to follow this procedure is not covered
by the product warranty.
4 . 1 . 3 L a m p o p e r a t i o n
After being switched off, the lamp must cool for at least 8 minutes before it can be
switched back on. “Lamp On” commands sent within 8 minutes of a “Lamp Off” command
are stored and then attempted again after the time has elapsed.
The lamp can be set to start automatically as soon as power is applied to the luminaire or
started via DMX.
Discharge lamps draw an extra inrush current for a fraction of a second during startup. If a
large number of luminaires start up at the same time, this current can trip circuit breakers.
Therefore:
• If the lamp is set to start automatically when power is applied, it starts after a random
delay of 0 - 90 seconds.
