Power Spot 250™ 2. Preparation and Installation 2.1 Mounting The POWER SPOT 250™ is fully operational in two different mounting positions, hanging upside from a ceiling or set on a flat level surface. To avoid internal damage to the unit, never mount the unit on its side as illustrated below. Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). Install a safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.
Power Spot 250™ 2.1.2 Mounting plate For a permanent installation of the POWER SPOT 250™ in a non-truss installation you may use the optional mounting plate (secured to the bottom of the fixture) to secure the fixture to a ceiling. The plate accepts four M6x20 screws. 2.2 Secure the POWER SPOT 250™ Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your POWER SPOT 250™ always be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable.
Power Spot 250™ 2.3 Connections 2.3.1 Power supply 115v ~ 50/60Hz AC (America’s), Connected load 500W <=> 4.4 A (blind current compensation) or 230V ~ 50Hz AC (EU), Connected load 500W <=> 2.2 A (blind current compensation) Operating voltage is pre-selected at the factory and is not user selectable. Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure your fixture voltage matches that of the outlet.
Power Spot 250™ using the controls on the side panel of the fixture. Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output (Figure Below). If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard two conductor shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all professional sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable.
Power Spot 250™ 2.8 5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion. 2.9 Fuse Requirements The POWER SPOT 250’s electronic system is protected by a 5x20 mm external fuse.

Power Spot 250™ 9. Maintenance and Cleaning the POWER SPOT 250™ It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues do not built-up on the surface or within the fixture. Otherwise the fixture's light output could be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliable throughout its life.
Power Spot 250™ depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (I.E. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In clubs that observe heavier use, we recommend cleaning on a more frequent basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure fixture longevity and crisp lamp output. Attention: 1. Never allow optical parts come into contact with oil, dirt, or grime. 2. Allow all parts to dry completely before attempt operation. 3. Never clean the aspheric lens with water or other cleaners.
