Highlander Wash Quick Start and Safety Manual 

 

Release the tilt lock, check the clearance around the head and make sure that 
nobody is looking directly at the fixture. Then apply power to the power input cable. 

Installing power connectors on the input cable 

It is possible to install a cord cap / mains power plug that is suitable for your local 
convenience receptacles / power sockets on the supplied power input cable. If you do 
this, check that the cord cap / plug is rated minimum 250 V, 16 A, that it has a 
connection to ground / earth and that it has an integral cable grip. Follow the cord cap 
/ plug manufacturer’s assembly instructions. 
If you need to install a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector on a power cable, follow 
the instructions given on the Neutrik website at www.neutrik.com. 
Respect the color coding used in the supplied power cable and in your local mains 
power wiring system. US and EU systems use the color coding shown below: 

 

 

Live or L 

Neutral or N 

Ground / Earth or   

US system 

Black White 

Green 

EU system 

Brown Blue  Yellow/green 

 

Setting up fixture control 

The Highlander Wash can be controlled via USITT512 DMX over a standard DMX cable 
link, Art-Net network or sACN network. 
If you would like advice with planning and installing a suitable control link, your GLP 

supplier will be happy to provide assistance. 

DMX 

See ‘Overview’ on page 13. The fixture has 5-pin XLR IN and THRU sockets for connection 
to a DMX cable link. 
Connectors use standard DMX pinout: 

 

Pin 1 = Ground  

 

Pin 2 = Negative / data cold 

 

Pin 3 = Positive / data hot. 

 

Pins 4 and 5 are not used.

 

To configure the fixture for DMX control over a DMX cable link, open the menus in the 
fixture’s control panel and make the following adjustments: 

 

In the first menu (root menu), set the fixture’s DMX address to a suitable address. 

 

In the 

Control Protocol

 menu, set the control protocol to 

DMX

 (the default setting). 

These settings will not be affected if you apply a 

Load Default Settings

 command in the 

fixture’s control panel, but they will be returned to factory defaults if you apply a 

Load 

Factory Backup

 command in the fixture’s control panel. 

To link fixtures in cabled DMX daisy-chains using their XLR connectors, use certified DMX 
cable only.
