GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

Please read and understand all the safety and use instructions in this manual carefully and
thoroughly before attempting to operate this device.

IP65 RATED

An IP rated lighting fixture is one, which is commonly installed in outdoor environments and
has been designed with an enclosure that effectively protects the ingress (entry) of external
foreign objects such as dust and water. The International Protection (IP) rating system is
commonly expressed as "IP" (Ingress Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65) where
the numbers define the degree of protection. The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection)
indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the fixture and the second digit
(Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the fixture. An
IP65 rated lighting fixture is one, which has been designed and tested to protect against the
ingress of dust (6) and high-pressure water jets from any direction (5).

UNPACKING

Every device has been thoroughly tested and has been shipped in perfect operating
condition. Carefully check the shipping carton for damage that may have occurred during
shipping. If the carton is damaged, carefully inspect the device for damage, and be sure all
accessories necessary to install and operate the device have arrived intact. In the event
damage has been found or parts are missing, please contact our customer support team for
further instructions. Please do not return this device to your dealer without first contacting
customer support. Please do not discard the shipping carton in the trash. Please recycle

SAFETY GUIDELINES

DO NOT TOUCH the fixture housing during operation. Turn OFF the power and allow

approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before serving.

DO NOT shake fixture, avoid brute force when installing and/or operating fixture.
DO NOT operate fixture if the power cord is frayed, crimped, damaged and/or if any of the

power cord connectors are damaged and do not insert into the fixture securely with ease.
NEVER force a power cord connector into the fixture. If the power cord or any of its
connectors are damaged, replace it immediately with a new one of similar power rating.
DO NOT block any air ventilation slots.
All fan and air inlets must remain clean and never blocked.
Allow approx. 6” (15cm) between fixture and other devices or a wall for proper cooling.
Always disconnect fixture from main power source before performing any type of service
and/or cleaning procedure. Only handle the power cord by the plug end, never pull out the
plug by tugging the wire portion of the cord.
During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the interior of
the fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the casing
burning off from the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over time.
Consistent operational breaks will ensure fixture will function properly for many years.
ONLY use the original packaging and materials to transport the fixture in for service.

7

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY 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.

E - FLY WIRELESS DMX SET UP

BEFORE SETTING THE WIRELESS CHANNEL ON ANY E-FLY
FIXTURE, MAKE SURE THE CONTROLLING E-FLY WIRELESS
DMX TRANSCEIVER DEVICE IS OFF.

TO CONTROL FIXTURE WITH E-FLY WIRELESS DMX SIGNAL

1. Ensure the controlling E-FLY wireless DMX Transceiver device is powered OFF and the
fixture is powered OFF and NO DMX cable is connected to the fixture.

2. Power ON fixture and from the OLED control panel navigate to the sub menu FLY_CH in the
FUNCTION main system menu, then set the desired E-FLY wireless channel (00-14) to the same
channel of the controlling E-FLY DMX Transceiver device.

3. Navigate to sub menu FLY_Swit in the FUNCTION main system menu and select ON.

NOTE: Erratic fixture movement may occur if other E-FLY wireless DMX products are in use in
the same area and are using the same E-FLY wireless channel. The fixture may immediately start
to respond to the DMX wireless signal from another E-FLY wireless DMX Transceiver immediately
when E-FLY is enabled. Make sure to know what E-FLY wireless channels are being used in the
area where the fixture is being installed.

4. Repeat this process for all E-FLY compatible fixtures in the E-FLY wireless network,
making sure all fixtures are assigned the same E-FLY wireless channel.

5. After all fixtures in the E-FLY wireless network have been set to the same E-FLY wireless
channel and powered ON, now power ON the controlling E-FLY DMX Transceiver device.

6. Test all fixtures connected to the E-FLY wireless network to confirm proper functionality.

20

WIRELESS E-FLY INSTALLATION LOCATION GUIDELINES

Wireless DMX signal can penetrate walls, glass, metal, and most objects. However, there

are many factors that can affect and/or interrupt the wireless DMX signal, one of which is

people. Therefore, it is highly recommended to position the wireless antenna a minimum of

9.8 ft. (3m) above audiences and/or above ground level. Careful planning and testing of the

selected installation location is critical to ensure optimum and reliable wireless DMX

operation.
