Electrical safety

• • •

Check that your electrical installation complies with current standards.

• • •

Always connect the product to electrical ground.

• • •

The PSX9 power unit must be connected directly to the mains

(100-240 VAC~ / 50-60 Hz).

DO NOT CONNECT TO AN ELECTRONIC OUTPUT

(dimmer, solid-state relay, etc.)

• • •

Do not connect any device other than the PSX9 power unit to the power supply

repeater socket.

• • •

Ensure the repeater power supply is not overloaded (MAX 16 A).

• • •

To ensure the PSX9 power unit operates satisfactorily, be careful not to obstruct

the ventilation grills.

• • •

The ELIDY-S, WALL and BIG products need a hybrid power cable designed by

CHROMLECH to operate. This cable is not supplied with the product and is

available as an optional extra in a wide variety of lengths. Chromlech declines

any liability if other cables are used to operate products in the ELIDY range.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCKS. ALWAYS DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT

BEFORE HANDLING OR CARRYING OUT MAINTENANCE

!

Elidy

12

Installation

Products must be installed according to "best practice" by qualied and certied

personnel.

• • •

Installation personnel should wear statutory safety equipment while putting up

and taking down the system.

• • •

Ensure that the public and personnel are prevented from passing underneath

the system while it is being rigged. The rigging area must be cordoned off and

inaccessible to the public.

• • •

Never leave the system unattended

during installation.

• • •

Do not allow anybody, whether stage hands, artists or members of the public, to

climb, jump or hang from products in the ELIDY range.

• • •

Do not place any object, however small, on the equipment during

rigging. It may fall while the equipment is being suspended and cause personal

injury.

• • •

NEVER attach any equipment other than CHROMLECH accessories to ELIDY

products.

• • •

CHROMLECH is not liable for rigging accessories that are not manufactured by

CHROMLECH.

• • •

The safety cable (not supplied) must have a suitable SWL for the weight

of the device you wish to secure. The safety cable, which must be attached

correctly to the device and the support frame, must be installed so that if the

main support system fails, the fall of the device will be limited as much as

possible. If a safety cable comes into play

following a fall, IT IS ESSENTIAL to replace it.

• • •

Take the same care when taking the system down as

when installing it. Pack it away carefully after use.

Elidy-WALL

Rigging system

The Elidy-WALL have been designed to be assembled VERTICALLY very
quickly.
You can assemble up to 11 Elidy-WALL one underneath the other (MAX
10 meters).

All the parts necessary for tting are integrated in the frame of the Elidy-

WALL.
However, it is essential to use the Elidy-BUMPER spreader bar provided
to start assembling each column.
1 COLUMN = 1 ELIDY-BUMPER.

1- Fitting the Elidy-BUMPER

- Rigging must be carried out by qualied personnel (for more information refer

to chapter "Safety rules and precautions for use").

- Ensure that the support on which the Elidy-WALL are to be rigged can support
the load, is in a good state of repair, stable and made safe.
In all cases, YOU ARE FULLY LIABLE FOR THE SUPPORTING FRAME ON
WHICH THE ELIDY-WALL ARE MOUNTED.

The Elidy-BUMPERs must be xed to the supporting frame using 2 double

collars, diameter 50 mm (not supplied). These double collars must have a SWL
suited to the height and weight of your column.

1 ELIDY-WALL = 30 Kgs (including power supply and cabling)
11 ELIDY-WALL = 330 Kgs.

We recommend you begin assembling your wall with the central Elidy-BUMPER,
this will ensure your rig is centred correctly.

Then place the Elidy-BUMPERs on either side of your reference point to form

your rst row.

Elidy

21

The ideal collar location on the Elidy­BUMPER is as follows:

However, it may not be possible to

produce this conguration. In this case,

you can move the collars on the Elidy­BUMPER. However, you must ensure
the collars are installed within the male
clevises.

Check that the Elidy-BUMPER is
orientated correctly. The clevis stops
and quick-release pins must be pointing
downwards.

To t the Elidy-BUMPERs to each

other, you must use the bolts provided.
For assembly in a row, lock the 2 bolts

as indicated in the gure opposite.

You can also place the
Elidy-BUMPERs off-centre, to create
different orientation angles.
To do this, you must only use one of
the two bolts and space out the ends of
each Elidy-BUMPER.

Now you have created your Elidy-BUMPER row, you can assemble the Elidy­WALL underneath.

Elidy

22

Elidy-WALL is composed of 9 Active Tiles and 1 frame.
It works with 1 PSX9, 1 M-cable or 3 S-cables, 1 Bumper for each Elidy-WALL

column.

- 2 people are required to correctly assemble the Elidy-WALL on the Elidy­BUMPERs. Stand on either side of the array to move and lock it.

- You can grip the Elidy-WALL anywhere. All components can temporarily
support the weight of the array.

- Ensure your Elidy-WALL is orientated correctly . The female clevises of the load
bearing components must be facing upwards and the connectors downwards.

- The 3 transverse bars are only used for xing the active tiles.

THE TRANSVERSE BARS ARE NOT A LOAD BEARING FRAME

To insert or unhook the detent pins, you
must press the red push-button fully down
to unlock the safety device.

Coupling of two transverse bars

The Elidy-WALL can be assembled vertically

using the 2 load bearing components provided

!

Elidy

23

Start by assembling the central Elidy-WALL. Insert the female clevises of
the Elidy-WALL into the male clevises of the Elidy-BUMPER up to the stops
provided.
Lock the assembly using the 4 detent pins
(2 on the Elidy-BUMPER, 2 on the Elidy-WALL).

Repeat the operation up to your rst row.

To nish off, wire up the Elidy-WALL, secure them, raise your supporting frame

by 1 m and start to work on the next row.

Pixel Engine

Each Led can be controlled separately. Each PSX9 power unit can control up to 9 tiles
with 25 Leds, thus 225 separate DMX channels.

1 Elidy Led (1 pixel) = 1 DMX address. To light the 9 Elidy-S or 1 Elidy-BIG/WALL
connected to a power unit, t the 225 channels on the console or media server.

The DMX channel number of each Led depends on the settings in the Patch Mode

and Rotation menus (see sections P26 to 28)

...

Animation Maker

Effects generator control built-in to the power unit. Each power unit can also

control the 225 Leds, but with only 2, 4, 8 or 14 DMX channels.
The Elidy-S and Elidy-BIG/WALL are controlled by a lighting console and
operate as robotic arrays, 9 Elidy-S or 1 Elidy-BIG/WALL per power unit.

Each of the 9 Elidy-S is controlled using:

- 1 Dimmer (16 Bits)

- 1 animation bank (65 xed factory-congured animated GIF supplied with the

power unit and 20 user animated GIF that can be downloaded into the power
unit via the dedicated software)

- 1 GIF speed parameter

- 1 Shutter

- 1 Iris

- 1 Rotation effect

- 1 General fade out

Each Elidy-Big/Wall is controlled using:

- 1 Dimmer (16 Bits)

- 2 animation banks (65x2 xed factory-congured animated GIF supplied with

the power unit and 20x2 user animated GIF that can be downloaded into the

Sources and Controllers

The 2 Controllers of the PSX9 power unit can be monitored using
different protocols, simultaneously.

Elidy performs a HTP merger between the 2 controller outputs.
The two controllers are independent, therefore:

• They can both be activated or disabled.

• They can both receive different protocols (DMX source, Artnet source, sACN

source).

• Each mode supports up to two active sources simultaneously. If, for the

same control mode, two sources are simultaneously active, Elidy also
performs a HTP merger of these 2 sources.

• The protocol parameters are independent (DMX address, Mode, sACN and

Artnet universe) and must be set for each control mode. However, a "link"
mode allows to automatically copy the settings of the Pixel Engine mode
towards the Animation Maker mode.

Use several sources for each controller

If for one (or both) controller(s), more than two sources are activated, then only
two sources will be selected, according to the following order of priority:

1: DMX
2: sACN
3: Artnet

To be taken into account, a source must be active (transmit data) in the selected
universe.

If a source no longer transmits data over a sufciently long period of time, it is

automatically replaced by another active source (according to the same priority
rules). If the original source is reactivated, it is immediately taken into account
(as per the same rules of priority).

If there are several sACN sources, the PSX9 considers

the "priority" parameter set in the console.

If the priority parameter is identical, the weakest source

IP addresses (console) are given priority.

i

If there are several Artnet sources, the weakest source

IP addresses (console) are given priority.

A PSX9 power unit can operate up to 9 active tiles.
These active tiles can be assigned via the PSX9 power unit, that will assign
them a number between 1 and 9, thus determining the order of the tiles that are

connected.

For the Elidy-WALL and Elidy-BIG, addressing is factory-congured as follows.

Y ou will therefore only need to access this menu if you need to replace an active
tile.

On the other hand, if you have received Elidy-S, these are all addressed to 1
by default. You will therefore need to differentiate them to make them operate
correctly.

Access the SETUP / TILE MAPPING menu, then press ENTER.
Doing this starts the procedure for detecting active tiles connected to the PSX9

power unit.

DO NOT DISCONNECT THE POWER UNIT AT THIS POINT.

DO NOT DISCONNECT THE ACTIVE TILES.

This operation may take a few seconds. Once all the active tiles have been

detected, the corresponding number (1 to 9) is displayed directly on the tiles. At

the same time, a new window opens on the power unit.

The PSX9 power unit can be controlled via different protocols operating in a

computer network type architecture. It is thus necessary to assign a unique IP
address to the power unit, and a subnet mask.

By default, the PSX9 power unit is parametrised with an automatic IP address,

the user can only choose between 2 types of addresses:

2.x.x.x and 10.x.x.x / subnet mask 255.0.0.0 according to the Artnet standard
This automatic address is generated from a number specic to each PSX9

power unit, which makes it unique.

As for any computer network item, it is possible to assign an
IP address and a subnet mask to the power unit.

Tip:
The following type of addresses are typically used for the

Artnet: 2.X.X.X or 10.X.X.X subnet mask 255.0.0.0.

The sACN accepts any type of IP addresses.

In an advanced MULTICAST type network conguration,
it may be necessary for the receiver (here it is the PSX9

power unit) to send back the routing information, named
IGMP report to the transmitter (router or switch) every 10
seconds.
