UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Upon receipt of the fixture, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure that all parts are
present and in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any
parts appear to be damaged from shipping or if the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton
and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture
be returned in the original factory box and packing.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Before powering the unit, make sure the line voltage is within the range of accepted voltages. This fixture
accommodates 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz. All fixtures must be powered directly from a switched circuit and cannot
be operated with a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used
solely as a 0-100% switch.
When powered up, Solaris performs a preprogrammed internal test. On initial power-up the factory default DMX
address appears on the display screen and Solaris is ready for operation. After initial power-up, the last-saved
DMX address will appear.
FREQUENCY SETTING
Depending on location, change the Default Frequency setting to match the mains power (e.g., US and Canada
should be set at 60Hz). Proper frequency setting will ensure minimum amount of visible artifacts when using
Solaris on camera.
