4.Installation
4.1 Installation
Open the cheeseborough clamp or c-clamp and put the Wash on the lighting truss. Secure the Wash with
the safety cable first and then fasten the cheeseborough clamp or c-clamp.
4.2 Orientation
For best coverage, it is important to orient the WASH properly. IR signals behave like normal light, so
shadows, occlusion and reflections need to be considered. WASH emit IR in a cone shape with a beam
angle of 60º. We recommend always thoroughly testing the coverage before any show.
You can adjust the orientation of the Wash along two axes:
1. Use the screw on the cheeseborough clamp or c-clamp to orient the beam of IR.
2. Use the yoke clamps to adjust the head of the Wash.

4.3 Connections
This picture shows the process to follow when you have more than one Wash to set up. (Daisy chain)
• For electrical reasons, do not connect more than 4 WASHs in a serie.
• All the WASHs on the same line must be connected to one dedicated DMX line in order to respect our
frame rate of 15 fps.
• We recommend putting a 120 ohm DMX terminator on the DMX out on the last WASH in the line.
• We recommend putting a 25MHz ferrite on DMX and Power cable, the closest to the casing.

6.2 Visualizing infrared
Before checking the IR LED, use the protective glasses against IR. After that, to see if all IR LED are ok you
can use:
1- The WASH power meter to detect if one or more IR LED are burned or damaged.
2- Your telephone, open the camera and check it some IR LED are not power.
