1 Desire XTI Series v1.6.0 User Manual

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a Desire Series D40/D60 XTI fixture by ETC.

The Desire XTI Series is designed for permanent installations indoors or outdoors, with an
IP66 rating, rugged die-cast enclosure, and noiseless fan-free operation. Up to 32 Desire
XTI fixtures can be linked together on one data chain and configured over a DMX/RDM
network.

Desire’s x7 Color System™ seven-hue technology produces a light and color quality that
conventional LED systems cannot duplicate. This unique color system produces bright,
broad-spectrum whites and intense colors equally well, rendering pigments, objects, and
skin tones in a natural way.

Fire and Ice fixtures use elements of the x7 Color System for superior performance in deep
saturated colors.

Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten fixtures use high-output white LEDs for maximum
brightness and efficacy. Studio Tungsten interacts very well with incandescent sources,
while Studio Daylight easily replaces a variety of HMI lamps and natural sunlight.

Quick Setups

You can use any one of the Quick Setups and fine-tune settings for operation via
DMX/RDM protocol.

Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice and Studio HD

Some of the options include:

• Multiple DMX profiles ranging from a simple 3-channel RGB profile to 8-channel native
color and intensity control.

• Multiple dimming curve options.

• Preset colors and sequences for standalone operation.

• White point selection; white light and color behavior based on a specific color
temperature white light such as 3200K or 5600K.

• Loss-of-data behavior options.

• Power regulation modes; three output options that offer a choice between maximum
light output for lower duty cycles and maximum thermal stability and output consistency
for higher duty cycles.

Installation Clearances

Cooling and Duty Cycle

The D40/D60 XTI fixture is convection cooled and can operate all channels at full power
continuously in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F).

If ambient conditions exceed 40°C (104°F) or fail to allow sufficient airflow, over a long
period of time, the fixture may shut down and remain off until they return to a safe operating
temperature. The fixture provides two methods to indicate over temperature:

• Visible: The LED array glows in a dull, low intensity with only some emitters
illuminated and the Error Indicator light turns on.

• Dark: The LED array turns off.

LED life is adversely affected by high-temperature operation. When operating under
elevated ambient temperatures, avoid turning all channels to 100% for extended periods,
such as channel checks or focusing.

CAUTION:

Duty Cycle

Operating the fixture in higher ambient temperatures or low-airflow situations may
cause the power supply to shut down. Following a cool-down period, the power
supply will automatically reset and the fixture will return to operation.

It is good practice to power down any device with on-board electronics to limit
unnecessary wear on the devices and eliminate residual use of electricity. When
not in use, Desire fixtures should be powered down by disconnecting from power
at the breaker.
