• The included 3/32 in hex key wrench for locking the fixtures in position
• The included snap-on ferrite core for advanced EMI suppression, as needed
• The included optional 6-32 stainless steel screws for installing the lens bezel
without the accessory holder

recommended lengths, as needed

Install the Fixtures
Make sure the power is OFF before mounting and connecting ColorBlast TRX
fixtures.
1. The mounting base of each ColorBlast TRX fixture provides a clearance hole for a
1/2 in bolt for mounting to a pipe, truss, weighted base, or floor using a standard
theatrical C-clamp or other mounting hardware. When mounting ColorBlast TRX,
ensure that the installation is suitable and safe and that the hardware is properly
rated for the task.
2. When mounting ColorBlast TRX fixtures on the floor or a base, ensure that
the fixture sits flush to the surface and use mounting hardware suitable for the
mounting surface.
3. Connect each ColorBlast TRX fixture to an available female 4-pin output on the
power / data supply. ColorBlast TRX fixtures are provided with a permanently
connected 6 ft (1.8 m) cable. The cable can be extended with a standard XLR male
to XLR female patch cable, up to a maximum length of 175 ft (53.3 m) when using
a standard color scroller cable.
4. For EMI suppression, snap the included ferrite core onto each fixture cable as
close as possible to the power / data supply output port.
