Do not use microphone cable or other cable with characteristics differing from those specified. The end connections must be made using XLR type 5 pin male/female connectors. A terminating plug must be inserted into the last projector with a resistance of 120Ohm (minimum 1/4 W) between terminals 2 and 3.

• It is recommended not to use compressed air with more than 4 atmospheres for cleaning the internal parts of the fixture, led board area. This is to avoid damaging electronic components.
• To ensure optimal operation and performance for a long time it is essential to periodically clean the parts subject to dust and grease deposits. The frequency with which the following operations are to be carried out depends on various factors, such as the amount of the effects and the quality of the working environment (air humidity, presence of dust, salinity, etc.).
