PERSONALITY - Status Settings - Address Via DMX

When ON, define the desired DMX address via an external controller.

1. Connect the fixture to the external controller and power ON.

2. Set the DMX value of Channel 1 on the controller to (7).

3. Set the DMX value of Channel 2 on the controller to (7) or (8).

When set to (7), the DMX address can be set between (1) and (255).

When set to (8), the DMX address can be set between (256) and (511).

4. Using Channel 3 on the controller set the desired DMX address of the fixture.

Example 1:
If the desired DMX address is 57, set Channel 1 to a value of (7), set Channel 2 to

a value of (7), and then set Channel 3 to a value of (57).

Example 2:
If the desired DMX address is 420, set Channel 1 to a value of (7), set Channel 2 to

a value of (8), and then set Channel 3 to a value of (164). (256+164=420)

5. After setting Channel 3 to the desired DMX address value, wait for approximately

20 seconds for the fixture to complete the address reset function.

PERSONALITY – Service Setting - RDM PID

Select various submenus via RDM.

RDM stands for "Remote Device Management", which provides the ability to control

the device remotely while connected to a DMX-bus. ANSI E1.20-2006 by ESTA

specifies the RDM standard as an extension of the DMX512 protocol. Manual settings

like adjusting the DMX starting address are no longer needed. This is especially useful

when the device is installed in a remote area.

RDM ready and conventional DMX devices can be operated in one DMX line. The

RDM protocol sends its own packages in the DMX512 data feed and does not

influence conventional devices. If DMX splitters are used and RDM control is to be

used, these splitters must support RDM. The number and type of RDM parameters

depend on the RDM controller being used.

EFFECT ADJUST – Manual Control

Select and manually test and fine adjust each individual channel function

Independently from DMX control board. This function will center PAN and TILT motors

and set dimmer to 100%. PAN and TILT functions will still operate if the fixture needs to

be positioned to a flat clear surface. With the individual functions, you can focus the

light on a flat surface (wall) and perform fine adjustments.

EFFECT ADJUST – Calibration

ONLY QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS SHOULD PERFORM THIS FUNCTION.

This function allows small adjustments to be made to the effect wheels to compensate
for ware or in the event a sensor has been knocked slightly out of place. Because
improper use of this function can result in undesired operation this function has been
password protected. The password is 050 and must be entered each time the
calibration menu function is entered. Because calibration is an extremely delicate
procedure, instructions on performing this action are left out of this manual. For a first
time calibrator, please contact our customer support team for step-by-step instructions.

EDIT PROGRAM – Record Controller

The fixture features an integrated DMX-recorder by which you can transmit the

programmed scenes from your DMX-controller to the moving head. Adjust the

desired scene numbers via the encoder (from – to). When you call up the scenes at

your controller, they will automatically be transmitted to the moving head.

EDIT PROGRAM – Record Controller – Working With Built In Programs

A Master unit can send up to 3 different data groups to the Slave units, i.e. a Master

unit can start 3 different Slave units, which run 3 different programs. The Master unit

sends the 3 program parts in a continuous loop.

The Slave unit receives data from the Master unit according to the group which the

Slave unit was assigned to. If e.g. a Slave unit is set to “Slave 1” in the menu “Set to

Slave”, the Master unit sends “Auto Program Part 1” to the Slave unit.

If set to “Slave 2”, the Slave unit receives “Auto Program Part 2”.

E RROR CODES

When power is applied, the unit will automatically enter a “Reset/Test” mode. This

mode brings all the internal motors to a home position. If there is an internal problem

with one or more of the motors an error code will flash in the display in the form of

“XXer” were as XX will represent a function number. For example, when the display

shows “0Er” it means there is some type of error with the Pan motor. If there are

multiple errors during the start-up process they will all flash in the display. For

example: if the fixtures has errors on Channel 1, 2, and 5 all at the same time, you will

see the error message “01Er”, “02Er”, and ”05Er” flash repeated 5 times.

If an error does occur during the initial start-up procedure the fixture will

self-generate a second reset signal and try to realign all the motors and correct the

errors. If the error persists after a second attempt a third attempt will be made. If

after a third attempt all the errors have not been corrected the fixture will make the

following determinations:

 3 or More Errors - The fixture cannot function properly with three or more errors

therefore the fixture will place itself in a stand-by mode until subsequent repairs

can be made.

 Less Than 3 Errors - The fixture has less than 3 errors; therefore most other functions

will work properly. The fixture will attempt to operate normally until the errors can

be correct by a technician. The errors in question will remain flashing in the

display as a reminder of internal errors.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

Disconnect power before cleaning or maintenance.

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is recommended to insure proper function, optimized light output,

and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in

which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environments can

cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.

 Clean the external lens surface at least every 20 days with a soft cloth to avoid

dirt/debris accumulation.

 Never use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections are recommended to insure proper function and extended life.

There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture, please refer all other service

issues to an authorized Elation service technician. Should you need any spare parts,

please order genuine parts from your local Elation dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

 A detailed electric check by an approved electrical engineer every three

months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent

overheating.

 Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws

may fall out during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts

could fall.

 Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware and

rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could

allow for dust to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured

rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s).

 Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or

sediments. Never remove the ground prong from the power cable.
