Warning!

 Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 5 before connecting the Highlander 

Wash to power. 
 

AC power 

The Highlander Wash has a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 socket for connection to AC mains 
power from a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 female cable connector. The autosensing 
power supply accepts 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz AC power. Do not connect the fixture to AC 

power at any other voltage. 
Note that, if the fixture is connected to AC mains power at 180 V or less, the lamp is 
automatically switched to 

ECO

 mode, where it uses 1000 W. See ‘Lamp power‘ on page 

14.  
The AC mains power distribution circuit must include a connection to ground / 

protective earth. It must be protected against ground / earth leakage and overload. 
Do not connect the fixture to a power distribution circuit that is equipped with an 
external dimmer. 

Powering the fixture on 

The fixture does not have an ON/OFF switch. It is powered on as soon as power is 
applied to the power input cable. Before applying power, check that the head is 
unlocked, check that the head will not collide with anything, and check that nobody 
will be looking directly at the fixture if it lights up suddenly. 

Powering the fixture off 

Turn off the lamp but leave the fixture connected to power for 30 minutes before 
powering the fixture off. After allowing the fixture to cool down with the lamp turned off, 
power the fixture off by shutting down power to the power input cable. 

Connecting to power 

Although powerCON TRUE1 connectors support hot-plugging, it is still good practice to 
shut down power to power cables before connecting them to fixtures. 
To connect the fixture to power: 

Check that the Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector on the power input cable is in 
perfect condition, paying attention to the keys on the connector. If the connector or 

its keys show signs of damage, replace the connector with a new item. 

Line up the keys in the TRUE1 connector correctly with the keyways in the MAINS IN 
socket. 

Insert the connector into the socket. Do not use force. If you feel any more than light 

resistance when you try to push the connector into the socket, something is wrong. 
You may have lined up keys and keyways incorrectly. Remove the connector and 
check the positions of keys and keyways before trying to insert the connector again. 

Twist the connector fully clockwise to lock. Listen for a ‘click’ that indicates that the 
connector is locked.
