Getting It Out Of The Box

 

Congratulations on purchasing the Torrent Streak™, the super-fine 75-watt narrow beam 

moving head fixture! Now that you’ve got your Torrent™ Streak (or hopefully, Streaks!)

you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents to ensure that all parts are 

present and in good condition. If anything looks as if it has been damaged in transit, no-

tify the shipper immediately and keep the packing material for inspection.  Again, please 

save the carton and all packing materials. If a fixture must be returned to the factory, it 

is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Powering Up!

 

All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and 

cannot be run off a 

rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer 

channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch

.  

AC Voltage Switch -

 Not all fixtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that the 

fixture you receive is suitable for your local power supply.  See the label on the fixture or 

refer to the fixture’s specifications chart for more information.  A fixture’s listed current 

rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the fixture or device 

carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists that it is set to the correct 

line voltage you will use.

 

Warning! 

Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line 

voltage applied. Damage to your fixture may result if the line voltage applied 

does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All fixtures 

must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).
