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.

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.
