03Installation & Fuse Replacement

3.1Product Installation

This device can be mounted in many orientations provided each individual device is secured by 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 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 fuses, only replace it 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 (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.

4.1Static Colours (StaticC)

In StaticC mode, use "Up" and "Down" to select the desired solid colour and press "Enter" to save. The codes are composed of the colours R red, G green, B blue and W white. The intensity is then set via Dim from 000 to 255.

4.1.1Manual Colour Mode (ManualC)

In Manual C mode, use "Up" and "Down" to set the intensity of each colour (R, G, B, W) from 000 to 255 and select the strobe speed from S000 to S100 (S000 is strobe off). Press "Enter" to save.

4.1.2Colour Temperature (Manual WCT)

Select the colour temperature from <WT01> to <WT11>, then use "Up" or "Down" to select the intensity between 1 and 100 and press "Enter" to confirm.

4.2Auto Programs

The fixture runs auto programs separately for its two zones: the RGB pixel plate and the warm-white beam zone. In Auto Pro mode, first use "Up" and "Down" to select Auto Pro <RGB> or Auto Pro <White>.

RGB Plate

After selecting Auto Pro <RGB>, confirm with "Enter" and use "Up"/"Down" to select the program — from Random (Pr02 to Pr35 run in random order, 10 to 180 seconds per effect) up to Pr35. Then set the speed from <Sp000> to <Sp100>, the dimmer from <dim000> to <dim255> and the frost transparency from Fr<000> to Fr<100>. Press "Enter" to save.

White Beam

After selecting Auto Pro <White>, confirm with "Enter" and use "Up"/"Down" to select the program — from Random (Pr02 to Pr16 in random order, 10 to 180 seconds per effect) up to Pr16. Then set the speed from <Sp000> to <Sp100> and the dimmer from <dim000> to <dim255>, and press "Enter" to save.

Programs via DMXIn the 14-channel mode the same programs are available on channels 9 to 14: channel 9 selects the RGB program, channel 10 its speed, channel 11 its dimmer; channel 12 selects the white program, channel 13 its speed, channel 14 its dimmer.

4.2.1Sound Active Mode

In Sound mode use "Up" and "Down" to select the sensitivity from Sen000 to Sen100 and press "Enter" to save.

4.2.2Master / Slave, DMX Loss & User DMX

Set the master fixture to one of the stand-alone operating modes — automatic, sound, static colour or manual colour; on the slaves, set Mas/Sla to "S". Via DMX Loss, the behaviour on signal loss can be set to Hold, Blackout, Manual or Auto. Under User DMX you can assign a function per channel; set the channel following the last used one to End. To select this mode, choose User under DMX channel mode.

4.3Wireless 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. After selecting the target protocol, press and hold the button for more than one second and release it when the indicator turns white.

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. On the fixture: press "Menu", select Wireless, press "Enter" and enable wireless with "On"/"Off". With "On", select EL Mode under Mode and set the group number CH<00> to CH<05>. When several fixtures are in the same group, the one transmitting is the transmitter and the rest automatically become receivers. W-DMX_R → "Delete" starts pairing with a transmitter; W-DMX_T → "Create" starts pairing with a receiver.

4.3.1Firmware 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.

05Cell Layout

The light-emitting surface consists of five rows: four rows of RGB cells (12 cells each) and, between them, one row of 12 warm-white beam cells. In total there are 48 RGB cells (RGB1 – RGB48) and 12 white cells (W1 – W12).

RGB37RGB38RGB39RGB40RGB41RGB42RGB43RGB44RGB45RGB46RGB47RGB48

Depending on the channel mode, the cells are grouped differently:

ModeGrouping
16 CHRGB in 4 rows (RGB1–12, 13–24, 25–36, 37–48) · white as one group (W1–W12)
51 CHRGB in 12 columns (each RGB n, n+12, n+24, n+36) · white per cell W1 – W12
147 CHRGB per individual cell (RGB1 – RGB48) · white not separately addressable
159 CHRGB per individual cell (RGB1 – RGB48) · white per individual cell (W1 – W12)
