6. MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION

Mounting points

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating
working load limits, a fine knowledge of the installation material being used, and periodic
safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do
not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before connecting the main
power cord to the appropriate wall outlet.

Mounting

The ELAR DW BRICK™ is fully operational in three different mounting positions, hanging
upside-down from a ceiling, side mounted, or set on a flat level surface. Be sure this fixture is
kept at least 0.5m away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). When clamp
mounting; always use and install the supplied safety cable as an added safety measure to
prevent accidental damage in the event of a clamp failure. See the image below.

©Elation Professional, Los Angeles Ca. 10 www.ElationLighting.com

ELAR DW BRICK ™

CAUTION!

Be sure all electrical connections are performed by a qualified
electrician before attempting any operation.

Clamp Mounting

The ELAR DW BRICK™ provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that allows the unit
to stand on flat surface, hang on truss via a clamp, or be used in cluster allow multiple units
to rigged together (see the illustration below). Regardless of the mounting option you choose
please refer to the safety guidelines in this manual to avoid damage to the unit and/or injury
to persons.

When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp to the
hanging yoke using a M10 screw fitted through the center hole of the hanging yoke. As an
added safety measure be sure to attach at least one properly rated safety cable to the fixture.
See illustration below.

©Elation Professional, Los Angeles Ca. 11 www.ElationLighting.com

ELAR DW BRICK ™

Securing the ELAR DW BRICK™

Always secure your fixture with a safety cable when
suspend-ing the unit from truss or other means. The fixture
provides a built-in rigging point for a safety cable as illustrated
above. Be sure to only use the designated rigging point for a
safety cable. Never secure a safety cable to the hanging
bracket.

7. UNDERSTANDING DMX

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation):

Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input
and data output (see figure below). Be sure to only use properly rated DMX cables for DMX
operation and not standrd audio cables. If you are constructing your own cables be sure to
use two conductor shielded digital cable rated at a 120 ohms (this cable can be purchased at
almost all professional sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male
and female 3-pin XLR connector on either end of the cable.

Please note: This is not the same as audio microphone cable. Audio cable has a
different resistance rating

Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug
on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or
allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the
shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

©Elation Professional, Los Angeles Ca. 12 www.ElationLighting.com

ELAR DW BRICK ™

DMX-512 control connection

Connect the provided DMX XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and
the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head (Please refer to the diagram
below.). You can chain multiple moving heads together through serial linking. The cable
needed should be two conductor, shielded cable with XLR input and output connectors.
Always be sure daisy chain your in and out data connections, never split or “Y” your DMX
connections unless you are using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto Branch
4™ or DMX Branch/4™.

Please note: to ensure maximal stability, when the input voltage is 100~120V, only 8
devices may be connected together in this manner! From the 9th devices, please connect to
power supply to get power for the second link; when the input voltage is 220~240V, only 15
devices may be connected together in this manner! From the 16th devi ces, please connect
to power supply to get power for the second link

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator

When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last fixture to
avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor that is connected between
pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This fixture is inserted in the
female XLR connector of the last fixture in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a
cable terminator (Elation part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.

©Elation Professional, Los Angeles Ca. 13 www.ElationLighting.com

ELAR DW BRICK ™

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA
transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX
line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must
be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart on the next
page details a proper cable conversion.

Understanding Fixture DMX addressing;

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the
correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the
channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent
out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by
combining various dipswitches located on the rear of the fixture.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures, or a group of fixtures, or set different
address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all you fixtures to the same DMX
address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words, changing
the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel
number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of each

©Elation Professional, Los Angeles Ca. 14 www.ElationLighting.com

ELAR DW BRICK ™

fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.

In the case of the ELAR DW BRICK™, which is a 5 channel fixture (default), you
should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 6 (5 + 1),
the third unit to 11 (6 + 5), and so on.

Note: During start-up the ELAR DW BRICK ™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data
signal is being received or not. If a DMX data signal is being received, the display will show
"A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a DMX
signal the display will flash "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address).

If your fixture is connected to a DMX controller and the display is flashing (not receiving a
DMX signal), please check the following:

- The 3-pin or 5-pin XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) may not be
connected or is not inserted completely into the DMX input jack.

- The DMX controller is switched off or defective.

- The DMX cable from the controller merging with included IP Rated Cable adapter is
not connected securely

- The DMX cable or connector is defective.

- A DMX terminator has been inserted into the last fixture in your DMX chain.

8. DISPLAY LED INDICATOR.

The ELAR 108PAR RGBW ™ has a LED indicator on the display. This indicator is designed
to give a quick visual indication of the fixtures’ DMX status. The illustration below details the
functionality of the LED indicators.

The LED indicator represents DMX signal:

• If the indicators is on, a clean DMX signal is present

9.1 “MODE” - Function Mode:

9.1.1 <ADDR> - DMX address setting – This function is used to set or adjust the

fixture’s starting DMX address. Every device controlled by DMX has to have a unique
starting address. The addressing feature is what allows DMX to function properly. The
DMX address of a fixture is what allows it to communicate with a controller properly. The
DMX addressing also allows the fixture to ignore any DMX information coming from the
controller that is not meant specifically for the fixture. Because each fixture is connected
in a daisy-chain fashion it is imperative to assign a proper and unique starting DMX
address to each and every fixture. The DMX address is non-destructive and will remain
in the fixture’s memory even when the power to the unit is switched off. Memory is
backed-up and retain by an internal power source that should last about five years.

“VALU” - Display the DMX 512 value of each channel

With this function you can display the DMX 512 value of each channel. The display
will automatically detail the changing DMX values as they are received from the
controller.

“SLAV” - Slave setting for Master/Slave Operation

With this function, you can define the device as slave for operation in Master/Slave
mode. Each slave setting will have a different function for a dynamic lightshow
without a controller.

“RDMX” - Address via DMX - This function allows the DMX address to remotely be
adjusted from a DMX console. This setting requires special settings for both the
controller and the fixture. RDMX is on by default.
