FX Drop
Installation
Remove all packing materials from the FX Drop. Check if all foam and plastic padding is removed.
Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before cleaning or servicing.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
Multiple Fixtures Power Linking
The FX Drop supports power linking. Power can be relayed to another device via the power OUT
connector. Note that the input and the output connectors have different designs: one type cannot be
connected to the other.
To link fixtures in a chain, a hard usage cable with appropriate cable jacket must be used. Power linking
cables are available for purchase from Highlite International.
To prevent power overload and damage to the fixture, do not link more fixtures in one chain than
recommended. After you have reached the maximum number of fixtures, use a new power outlet.
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @ 230 V: 25 fixtures

01) Fasten the FX Drop to a firm trussing using a clamp. See Rigging on page 4. Make sure the FX drop is
mounted vertically under the truss construction.
02) Use a safety cable to secure the FX Drop to the trussing.
03) Hang the object that will be released. See Suspending objects on page 10.

04)
