• When controlling a large number of luminaires via DMX, switch on lamps one by one at
intervals of about half a second.
To obtain optimum lamp life:
• Always allow the lamp to warm up fully for 5 minutes before turning it off.
• Switch off the lamp whenever illumination is not required for extended periods of an hour
or more. Note that luminaire power should remain on at all times except during service.

To ensure free and correct effect movement even if some effects are not used for long
periods, the Exterior 1200 Wash runs an ‘exercise program’ and checks effect movement
every time the lamp is switched off.
In this program, the effect wheels run for approximately 20 seconds and the zoom effect
runs to the full out (narrow) position. Effect wheels then position themselves with magnets
at respective Hall sensors, and the zoom car moves to the zoom switch but does not
activate it. The luminaire then checks that Hall sensors are activated and the zoom switch
is open.
If an error occurs during checking, the luminaire resets. If the ‘exercise program’ is
complete successfully, the luminaire waits with the cooling system active until either it
receives a command or power is shut down.

The Exterior 1200 Wash features an onboard control panel and text-based LCD display.
The onboard display and control panel allows the user to:
• obtain feedback about the luminaire – this is especially useful for service and
maintenance purposes
• configure the luminaire’s basic personality settings
• set up stand-alone operation
