1. To connect one SP 6 SixPack device to another Jl 1 Lift a SP 6 SixPack into position under the other Depending on how you plan to daisy chain L ES power and DMX cables between fixtures you might choose to mount every second device Jl upside down so that the built in DMX and power patch cables can reach the next device see L Planning the layout of fixtures in an array on page 11 Jl 2 Insert one end of the fixture into the snap lock bracket of the other fixture and then insert the E EH 7 opposite end of the fixture into the snap lock bracket of the other fixture and click into place Note that devices connected using the snap lock connectors can be curved outwards at an angle Tu of 29 To detach one fixture from another release the lock by pulling the small ring at the female socket detach that end and pull the opposite end free 14 Connecting arrays together into a larger matrix No single fixture may be loaded with the weight of more than seven other fixtures in an array Arrays threads can be connected to other array threads but each array thread must have its own secure correction to a load bearing structure and not have its weight supported by another array thread We recommend that adjacent fixtures be oriented to enable them to be daisy chained together using the built in cables see Planning the layout of fixtures in an array on page 11 Hardware connections between one array thread and another are2. pixel 2 28 24 channel mode Individual RGBA control Channel DMX Value Function Channel DMX Value Function 1 0 255 Red 0 100 pixel 1 13 0 255 Red 0 100 pixel 4 2 0 255 Green 0 100 pixel 1 14 0 255 Green 0 100 pixel 4 S 0 255 Blue 0 100 pixel 1 15 0 255 Blue 0 100 pixel 4 4 0 255 Amber 0 100 pixel 1 16 0 255 Amber 0 100 pixel 4 5 0 255 Red 0 100 pixel 2 ili 0 255 Red 0 100 pixel 5 6 0 255 Green 0 100 pixel 2 18 0 255 Green 0 100 pixel 5 7 0 255 Blue 0 100 pixel 2 19 0 255 Blue 0 100 pixel 5 8 0 255 Amber 0 100 pixel 2 20 0 255 Amber 0 100 pixel 5 9 0 255 Red 0 100 pixel 3 21 0 255 Red 0 100 pixel 6 10 0 255 Green 0 100 pixel 3 22 0 255 Green 0 100 pixel 6 11 0 255 Blue 0 100 pixel 3 23 0 255 Blue 0 100 pixel 6 12 0 255 Amber 0 100 pixel 3 24 0 255 Amber 0 100 pixel 6 29 Channel 28 channel mode Effects amp individual RGBA control DMX Value Function Channel DMX Value Function 0 7 Shutter Blackout T 0 255 Blue 0 100 pixel 1 8 15 Shutter Open 8 0 255 Amber 0 100 pixel 1 16 151 Variable Strobe 9 0 255 Red 0 100 pixel 2 il 152 175 Pulse Open 176 199 Pulse Close 10 0 255 Green 0 100 pixel 2 200 244 Variable Random Strobe 11 0 255 Blue 0 100 pixel 2 245 255 Shutter Open 12 0 255 Amber 0 100 pixel 2 0 2
