3. GENERAL GUIDELINES
• NEVER OPEN THIS FIXTURE WHILE IN USE!
• 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.
• This fixture is a professional lighting effect designed for use on stage, in nightclubs,
theatres, etc. Do not attempt installation and/or operation without proper knowledge
of how to do so.
• Do not permit operation by persons who are not qualified for operating this type of
theatrical fixture. Most damages are the result of operations by nonprofessionals.
• If this fixture is exposed to extreme temperatures due to environmental changes, do
not power the fixture on until it has reached room temperature. Condensation could
damage the fixture.
• Consistent operational breaks may ensure the fixture will function properly for many
years to come.
• Do not shake fixture, avoid brute force when installing and/or operating the device.
• When choosing an installation location, please be sure this fixture will not be exposed
to extreme heat, moisture, and/or dust. The minimum distance between this fixture
and other devices or wall and/or flat surface should be at least 0.5 meter (1.5 ft).
• When using quick release “OMEGA” Cam-Lock system, be sure the four quick lock
fasteners are locked in the quick lock holes correctly.
• Always install the fixture with an appropriate safety cable. When installing the fixture
in a suspended environment, always use mounting hardware that is no less than M10
x 25 mm, also be sure the hardware is insert in the pre-arranged screw holes in the
base of the fixture.
• Please use the original packaging and materials to transport the fixture in for service.

CAUTIONS
• Recommended ambient temperature for this fixture is between 14°F to 113°F
(-10°C to 45°C). Do not use the fixture under or above this temperature.
• For added protection, mount the fixture in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or
in areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture.
• Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure the installation area can hold a
minimum point load of 10 times the weight of the fixture. (46Kgs / 102 Lbs)
• Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as
an appropriate safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing the fixture.
www.elationlighting.com&
12&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&RAYZOR'Q7™'User'Manual'2.0
MOUNTING POINTS
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating
working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the
installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.
• Be sure the fixture is kept at least 0.5m (1.5 feet) away from any flammable materials
(decoration etc.).
www.elationlighting.com&
13&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&RAYZOR'Q7™'User'Manual'2.0
SECURING
• Secure the clamp to the bracket using a M12 screw fitted through the Ф13 center hole.
• Insert the ¼ Turn Twist Locks of the first Omega bracket into the respective holes on the
bottom of the device. Tighten the Twist Locks a ¼ turn clockwise.
• Install the second Omega bracket on the top of the device in the same way.
• Pull a safety cable through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing
system or a safe installation.
Notice: This step is very important to ensure the fixture will not drop out by the
damage of the clamp.

7. UNDERSTANDING DMX
DMX-512
DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most lighting and
controller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and
controllers. DMX allows all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked
together and operate from a single controller. This is possible as long as all the fixtures and
the controller are DMX compliant. A DMX controller sends the DMX data instructions to the
fixture allowing the user to control the different aspects of an intelligent light. DMX data is
sent out as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via data “IN” and data “OUT” XLR
terminals located on the fixtures (most controllers will only have output jacks).
DMX LINKING
To ensure proper DMX data transmission, always use proper DMX cables and a terminator.
When using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. Never split a
DMX line with a “Y” style connector. The order in which the fixtures are connected in a DMX
line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a starting DMX
address of 1 may be placed anywhere in the DMX chain, at the beginning, at the end, or
anywhere in the middle. The DMX controller knows to send data assigned to address 1 to
that fixture no matter where it is located in the DMX chain. The RAYZOR Q7™ can be
controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The RAYZOR Q7™ is a 64-channel DMX fixture. The
DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the LCD menu.
DATA CABLE (DMX Cable) REQUIREMENTS (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation)
Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for
data input and data output (see figure below). If you are making your own cables, be sure to
use two conductor, shielded digital DMX cable rated at 120 ohms; this cable is designed for
DMX transmission and may be purchased from your Elation dealer or at most professional
lighting retailers. Your cables should be made with a male and female XLR connector on
either end of the cable. Also, remember that a DMX line must be daisy chained and cannot
be split, unless using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto Branch 4™ or DMX
Branch/4™.
www.elationlighting.com&
15&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&RAYZOR'Q7™'User'Manual'2.0
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 outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit
and erratic behavior.
DMX-512 CONTROLLER CONNECTION
Connect the provided 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 RAYZOR Q7™ (Please refer to the diagram
below.). You can chain multiple panels together through serial linking. The cable that should
be used is two conductor, shielded DMX 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™.

16&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&RAYZOR'Q7™'User'Manual'2.0
DMX-512 CONNECTION WITH DMX TERMINATOR
A DMX terminator should be used in all DMX lines especially in longer runs. The use of a
terminator may avoid erratic behavior in your DMX line. 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 line terminator (Elation part: DMX T PACK) will decrease
the possibilities of erratic behavior.
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 following chart details a proper cable
conversion.
