03Installation & Fuse Replacement

3.1Product Installation

This device can be mounted in many orientations provided each individual device is secured by the use of the correct mounting bracket. The double yokes allow both free-standing floor use and horizontal hanging; mounting points on the top and bottom are provided for vertical rigging. Cam locks on the side and back accept ¼-turn omega brackets. For linking multiple fixtures, 6 coffin locks and 3 tool-free lock handles are provided.

Safety CableThe mounting point must safely bear the weight of the fixture; the fixture must additionally be secured with a suitable safety cable of sufficient load rating in accordance with local regulations and laws.

3.2Fuse Replacement

If the fine-wire fuse of the device fuses, only replace the fuse by a fuse of the same type and rating. Before replacing the fuse, unplug the mains lead.

  1. Unscrew the fuse holder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anticlockwise).
  2. Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
  3. Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.
  4. Replace the fuse holder in the housing and fix it.

4.1Address, Channel Mode & Dimming Curve

After selecting DMX Add and pressing "Enter", use "Up" and "Down" to select the desired DMX address and press "Enter" to save. In the same way, DMX Cha selects the channel mode and Dim Mode the dimming curve.

4.1.1DMX Loss — Behaviour on Signal Loss

By standard, out of the box, the fixture holds the last signal when no DMX signal is present or the signal is lost. Via DMX Loss you can instead select Hold (hold last signal), Blackout, Manual (last manual colour) or Auto (last auto show selected).

4.1.2User DMX — Custom Channel Mode

Under this item you can pick a channel and assign a function of the DMX mode. Once User DMX is selected, click through the channels and re-arrange them as you please; set the channel following the last used one to End so that the mode stops there. For a 10-channel mode, channel 11 would be "End". To select this mode, choose User under DMX channel mode.

4.1.3Manual — Manual Operation

In Manual mode, use "Up" and "Down" to select the colour from the preset group (5 colour temperatures) or the fine-tune group (21 steps), set the illuminated area via Zones to "All", "Pixel 1" or "Pixel 2", and set the intensity from 000 to 255. Press "Enter" to save.

In Auto Pro mode use "Up" and "Down" to select the built-in program, confirm with "Enter", then set the run speed from <Sp000> to <Sp100> and the dimmer from <dim000> to <dim255>. Press "Enter" to save. For Pr 03 (Fade 1) to Pr 12 (Sound), the colour temperature is taken from the Manual menu.

4.1.5Master / Slave

Set the master fixture to one of the stand-alone operating modes: automatic, sound, static colour or manual colour. On the slaves, enter Mas/Sla mode, set it to "S" and press "Enter" to confirm.

4.2Wireless DMX (WDMX)

Each fixture is equipped with a built-in WDMX module and an antenna, allowing it to both receive and transmit DMX signals without any DMX cables. To enable WDMX operation, first pair the fixture with another fixture or with a standalone transceiver connected to a DMX console.

Turn on a standalone transceiver (not included) by pressing the power button. When the indicator light turns white, release the button; the transceiver is then in configuration mode. There, pressing the button once switches the air protocol and the indicator colour changes in the order shown below. After selecting the target protocol, press and hold the button for more than one second and release it when the indicator turns white — the device then enters operating mode.

ColourAir protocol
RedEL MODE
GreenWDMX reception
BlueWDMX transmission
GroupIndicator colour
CH00Red
CH01Green
CH02Blue
CH03Red + green = yellow
CH04Green + blue = cyan
CH05Red + blue = magenta

In EL MODE, six groups with independent ID codes can be set; only transceivers within the same group communicate with one another. Six transmitters can be set to IDs CH00 to CH05, controlling six groups of different receiving devices (for example six lighting zones). This avoids signal interference between groups.

On the fixture: press "Menu", navigate with "Up" and "Down", select Wireless and press "Enter". Choose "On" or "Off" to enable or disable wireless DMX. With "On", return to Mode, select EL Mode, press "Enter" and set the group number CH<00> to CH<05>. When several fixtures or transceivers are in the same group, the one transmitting is assumed to be the transmitter and the rest automatically become receivers. Under Mode, W-DMX_R → "Delete" starts pairing with a transmitter; W-DMX_T → "Create" starts pairing with a receiver.

4.2.1Firmware Update

  1. Set fixture A to Update mode, select "Y" then select "START".
  2. Link fixture A and fixture B with a DMX cable, then power up fixture B.
  3. Press "Enter" on fixture A; the firmware of fixture A will be copied to fixture B.
Same Fixture Type OnlyEnsure that fixtures A and B are of the same type, otherwise damage may occur. Only fixtures A and B should be in the DMX chain when updating firmware.

05DMX Channel Charts
