on page 4 before operating the Exterior
1200 Wash.
The Exterior 1200 Wash may be operated with any lighting controller that is compatible
with the USITT DMX 512 (1990) or USITT DMX 512A standards.
on page 22 for connection requirements and "
on page 77 for an overview of DMX control channels and values.
If an Exterior 1200 Wash is connected to a DMX controller and receives DMX signals
during stand-alone show playback, the stand-alone show will stop running and the
luminaire will respond to the DMX controller. DMX signals always have priority over the
running of a stand-alone show.

The effects reset to their “home” position when the Exterior 1200 Wash is powered on.
The Exterior 1200 Wash can also be reset from the DMX controller on channel 1. To limit
the possibility of accidentally resetting the luminaire in the middle of a light show, you can
set up the luminaire so that the reset command only works if the CMY channels are all set
to a DMX value from 230 to 232 (see "

Lamp on
With the default setting, the lamp remains off until a “lamp on” command is sent from the
controller. To have the lamp strike automatically, activate the Automatic Lamp On
personality (see "
A large peak of electric current is drawn for an instant when striking a discharge lamp.
Striking many lamps at once may cause a voltage drop large enough to prevent lamps
from striking and/or trip circuit breakers. When striking multiple lamps, program a
sequence that strikes lamps one at a time at 5 second intervals. If Automatic Lamp On is
enabled, there is a delay of up to 90 seconds after power is applied before the lamp
strikes. This delay is determined by the luminaire’s DMX address.
Lamp off
The lamp can be turned off from the controller by sending a “lamp off” command on
channel 1. If the DMX Lamp Off personality is OFF (see "
page 51), the command only works if each of the CMY channels (3, 4, and 5) is set to a
DMX value from 230 to 232.
After being turned off, the lamp must cool for at least 8 minutes before it can be turned
back on. “Lamp on” commands sent within 8 minutes of a “lamp off” command are stored
and then executed after 8 minutes have elapsed.
