Location / application
The G-4 Series is IP65-rated and designed for use in outdoor events. This means that it is protected from:
•
Dust, to the degree that dust cannot enter the device in sufficient quantities so as to interfere with its operation
•
Lower pressure jets of water from any direction
In the G-4 Wash Motorized Barndoors, while the fixture is full IP65-rated, the motorized barndoors module is IP20-rated. Therefore,
the motorized barndoors are not protected from water and dust.
When selecting a location for the device, ensure that:
•
It is situated away from public thoroughfares and protected from contact with people
•
It is not immersed in water or exposed to high-pressure water jets
•
It has adequate ventilation
When using the fixture for outdoor events, ensure that:
• For wireless DMX or standalone operation
, the DMX-out cable is securely attached to the DMX-in connection.
(See
“Parts identification and terminology” on page 6
.)
• For cabled DMX operation
, the DMX out of the last fixture is terminated with a 120 Ohm resistor between pin 2 and 3
(according to the RS485 standard), and the DMX out is properly sealed, in accordance with the IP65 requirements.
A maximum of 32 fixtures can be connected to the same DMX link.
