Control

Portable

The Portable D22 is provided with 5-pin XLR connectors on the back for in and thru
connection to a DMX/RDM control network.

Canopy Mount

The D22 Canopy Mount fixture is provided with one cable, which provides power
and data into the canopy.

A termination board is incorporated into the mounting plate for installation onto a
voltage-separated junction box (junction box provided by others, voltage barrier
provided by ETC) and provides termination for control wiring.

• Connection of the D22 data cable to a provided screw-down connector,
which is pre-wired at the factory. The connector is plugged into the
termination board. The braided shield is connected inside the fixture and
should not be connected in the canopy.

• Connection of DMX/RDM input from the control source. This connection can
be cable type Belden 9729 (or equivalent) to the provided screw terminal.
When using Cat5 (or equivalent) cable type for DMX/RDM input, order a
Cat5 termination kit from ETC (part number 4100A1013). Cat5 termination
instructions and an IDC connector are provided with the termination kit.

• Connection of DMX/RDM thru to the next DMX device. This connection may
also be either Belden 9729 or Cat5. The connector is not provided. Order the
appropriate DMX termination kit for the cable type used from ETC (Belden
9729 use 4100A1012 or Cat5 use 4100A1013). Termination instructions and
the appropriate connector is provided with the termination kit. Up to 32 DMX/
RDM devices can be daisy-chained together per data run.

Track Mount

The Track Mount fixture’s power and data connections are made through the
Eutrac MultiAdaptor mounting adapter. No further wiring to the fixture is required.
Refer to the track installation instructions for more information.

Electrical

WARNING:

The Desire D22 Portable is provided with a permanently installed power cord with
3-prong Edison connector. Region specific connectors are available. Contact ETC
for available options. The Canopy fixture is provided with power and data wired to
the canopy and should be terminated in a voltage-separated junction box (provided
by others). The Track mount receives power through its MultiAdaptor, which
connects to one of two circuits.

Ensure the main power supply is off before installing or
wiring a fixture.

Power Requirements

The universal power supply accepts 100-240 VAC 50/60Hz.

CAUTION:

Note:

Do not use a fixture for any voltage for which it is not rated. Do
not exceed the specified voltage and current input for any
fixture.Connecting the fixture to a voltage outside the
acceptable range may damage the unit and will void the factory
warranty.

The fixture must be grounded.
Application appropriate electrical junction box with cord grips

are required. A voltage-separated junction box is required. A
RACO 232 series 4 x 2-1/8 inch deep junction box is
recommended.The junction box must not interfere with fixture
focusing.

The fixture is factory pre-wired. Opening the housing is not
required.

The fixture must be connected to a non-dimmable power
source. Dimming the unit will damage the fixture and void the
factory warranty.

Termination

The D22 Desire Series requires termination at the last fixture on a DMX/RDM line
with a 120 ohm resistor.

• The Portable fixture is self terminated.

• The Track fixture is terminated with a DataTrack DMX Term Block, ETC Part
# 7066A1030.

• The Canopy fixture is terminated on the Termination board inside the
canopy.

The Canopy D22 Desire Series is installed on to a RACO 232 series 4 x 2-1/8 inch
deep double junction box. The fixture is supplied with a divider to separate the data
network from the line voltage inside the junction box.

CAUTION:

for instructions to prepare and terminate Category 5 for DMX/RDM input
cable to the insulation displacement connector.

b: Install the IDC connector with wires

terminated to the DMX/RDM Input
receptacle on the termination board.

Step 2: Optionally, terminate DMX/RDM thru to the

next device in the DMX data run. Up to 32
DMX/RDM devices can be daisy-chained
together per data run. Refer to Control on

page 2.

a: Reference the specific termination setup

guide for the type of cable used (either
Belden 9729 or Category 5) in the
installation. Termination kits are ordered
separately.

b: Install the connector with wires terminated

to the DMX/RDM Thru receptacle on the
termination board.

Step 3: Terminate DMX/RDM data signal for the last DMX/RDM device in the

data run by setting the termination switch on the termination board to ON.
All other devices in the data run maintain the factory default termination
switch setting OFF. Refer to Termination on page 4.

Canopy Fixture Installation

Safety loop

Step 1: Strip the fixture’s power wires back 1/2 inch (13mm).
Step 2: Using the hole in the mounting bracket,

hang the canopy on the Installation hook.

Step 3: Following the label on the mounting plate,

attach the power wires to the power block.

Step 4: Secure the fixture ground wire to the

mounting plate.

Step 5: If the fixture is the last fixture on a

DMX/RDM line, terminate the fixture. See

Termination on page 4.

Step 6: Insert the DMX/RDM connector into the

Terminal board.

Step 7: To determine the alignment of the canopy,

orientate the fixture to where it will need to
be focused.

Step 8: Align the holes in the canopy with the

mounting posts on the mounting plate and using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver, secure the canopy to the mounting plate with the canopy
screws.

Step 9: Focus the fixture.

Installing the Portable Fixture

The C-clamp attaches the fixture to the mounting pipe.
The position of the fixture can be adjusted once it is
mounted.Tightly fasten the C-clamp to the yoke with
the provided yoke bolt and lock washer.

Step 1: Place the C-clamp on the mounting pipe,

and then tighten the pipe bolt to secure it.

Step 2: Loop a safety cable over the pipe and attach

the ends to the safety cable loop on the body
of the fixture.

Step 3: Loosen the C-clamp yoke bolt and rotate the

yoke to the desired position.

Step 4: Tighten the bolt to lock the fixture.

WARNING:

Step 4: Focus the fixture.

Addressing

Fixture addresses must be set between 1 and 510.

• Each Desire fixture must be considered a separate DMX device for the
purpose of DMX line-loading calculations.

Note:

Initial Power Up

Control and configuration of the Desire D22 can be achieved over a DMX/RDM
control network, or directly from a connected computer running appropriate
software. When controlling the D22 directly from a PC, a Gadget Interface or
DMX/RDM gateway is required.

When using the circuit selection lock, ensure the selected circuit
is a constant power circuit. Dialing into a dimmable circuit may
cause fixture damage that will void the ETC warranty.

No more than 32 DMX devices can be daisy-chained together on
a single run. For runs of fixtures totaling more than 32 DMX
devices, a DMX splitter will need to be used to split the DMX runs.

When using RDM with track fixtures, ETC recommends
connecting no more than 20 fixtures on a single run.
