3.3 INSTALLING THE LIGHTING FIXTURE TO THE AUTOYOKE Effective 01 July 2002

Be sure that AutoYoke power and the lamp power cables are unplugged!!

1.LocatethepowercableontheAutoYokewiththebluePowerCONconnectorandtheblue"PowerIn"slotonthefixture.

2.PlugthePowerCONconnectorintothe"PowerIn"slot.

3.LocatetheDMXcableontheAutoYokeandthe"DMXIn"slotonthefixture.

4.PlugtheXLRfemalecableconnectorintothefixture"DMXIn"XLRmaleslot

3.4 INSERTING THE AUTOIRIS

The AutoIris is an optional accessory. See Section 6 for further information.

Note: It is extremely important to avoid damaging the AutoIris with the end of the lens tube while it is in the fixture. This can occur while focusing the lighting fixture if the lens tube is forced all the way in. Damage can also occur if the AutoYoke is shipped with a loose lens tube allowing the tube to slam into the AutoIris.

1. Remove iris slot cover from light-ingfixtureandkeepthescrews.

2.Rotateirisslotcover180˚andhold in place.

3. Insert the AutoIris into the drop-in irisslotonthelightingfixture.

4.Replacescrewsthroughholestoretain AutoIris and reversed iris slot cover.

5. Plug the AutoIris cable into the 7-Pin female XLR on the AutoYokecradleconnectorbox.

SETTING LIMITS WITH THE CONTROL CHANNEL

1. Bring the Control Channel to the appropriate level. 2. Bring the channel that operates the attribute to the desired level.

NOTE: The attribute channel level must change once before the desired level can be selected. If the attribute channel is already at the desired level move it off of the desired level and then back to the desired level -This is to prevent inadvertent limit selection during programming.

3. Bring the Control Channel to 0. 4. Bring the attribute channel to 0 to complete the setting of limits.
