Installation safety
Warning! Read the Safety Information section at the beginning of this manual before connecting the 
fixture to AC mains power. 
Powerful light can damage the control panel display. Do not point the output from other lighting 
fixtures at the MAC Aura XIP.
To avoid head collisions when installing MAC Aura XIP fixtures beside each other, allow a minimum 
center-to-center distance between fixtures of 350 mm (13.8 in.). The fixture also contains a 
programmable pan/tilt limitation system that can be used to limit head movement in order to prevent 
head collisions. See the MAC Aura XIP User Guide for details.
See Figure 1. The MAC Aura XIP’s lens can focus sunlight and strong artificial light, creating a 
potential fire hazard and causing damage that is not covered by the product warranty. Position or 
shade the head so that the front lens will not be exposed to sunlight or another strong light source 
from any angle – even for a few seconds. 
The fixture weighs 8.9 kg (19.7 lbs.), not including installation hardware. See “Dimensions” on page 2 for 
details of the fixture’s physical dimensions.
