When linked,  effects will sync with the most similar effect on the selected side of the GigBAR MOVE+ILS: Kinta effects will sync with one of the kintas, moving heads will sync with one of the moving heads, and wash effects will sync with one of the pars. Laser effects will sync  with the laser, and strobe effects will sync with the strobe effects regardless of ILS mode.

The Master/Slave mode allows a single Intimidator Free Spot 60 ILS product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more Intimidator Free Spot 60 ILS products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be set to  operate in Standalone, whereas the slave products will be set to operate in Slave mode.

  • For more information on how to activate the Intimidator Free Spot 60 ILS built-in D-Fi, see D-Fi Settings.
  • All products must be set to the same DMX personality, DMX address, and D-Fi channel.
  • Configure all the slave products before configuring the master to transmit.
  • Never connect a DMX controller to a D-Fi channel configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.

Maintenance

Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean all lighting products at least twice a month.  However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:

  1. Unplug the product from power.
  2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
  3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents.
  4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
  5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens-cleaning tissue.
  6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
  7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
