Note About LED Fixtures
All LED sources experience some lessening of light output and some colour shift over time.
Selador Series fixtures have complex thermal management systems to minimise these
changes. With typical usage, a Selador fixture will still achieve 70% of its initial output after
50,000 hours of use. In individual situations, LEDs will be used for different durations and
different levels. This can eventually lead to minor alterations in colour performance,
necessitating slight adjustment to presets, cues, or programs.
All LEDs exhibit a slight colour shift as their temperature rises from ambient to operating
temperature. This may or may not be visible to the eye. If this is a concern, a five to ten
minute warm up cue (all colour channels at 100%, intensity channels at 50%) prior to
production can minimise this effect.

Power and Data Cabling Requirements
Power
The Selador series fixture operates on AC power, 100 to 240VAC/50-60Hz. You may use
a circuit powered through an SCR dimmer, as long as the dimmer is set to unregulated
non-dim (switched) operation.
Power is supplied through a standard 1.5m power-input cable with Neutrik PowerCon
locking pigtail with bare ends for attachment of your desired connector.
Data
The Selador series fixtures operate on a DMX control signal. The unit is supplied with a
5-pin XLR DMX input connector and a 5-pin DMX Thru connector. DMX cables should be
acceptable for DMX data transmission (not microphone cable) and should follow the
standard pinout. The optional secondary data pair is not used by the Selador series fixtures.
The maximum DMX data run from any DMX source to the last fixture in a chain is 300m.
Termination is required in the data thru port of the last fixture in each data chain.
See Control, page 13 for additional information on DMX addressing of Selador Series
fixtures.

Installation Procedures
Installing Mounting Hardware
Four different options are provided for mounting Selador fixtures.
•Yoke for 11 and 21 fixtures
•Double yoke for two 11 or two 21 fixtures (over/under configuration)
•Floor trunnions for all fixtures
•Pipe hanging brackets for all fixtures
Note:
Trunnions should be installed with the feet inward so that fixtures can be lined up end to
end if needed.
Installation Notes
Cooling and Duty Cycle
Selador Series fixtures are equipped with ultra-quiet cooling fans. These fans are
automatically controlled. They permit fan-free operation when possible and turn on only
when needed to provide low-noise, predictable service for extended periods of time in
ambient temperatures up to 40°C. When the fan turns on, its speed ramps up slowly in
order to minimise the noise differential.
CAUTION:
LED life is adversely affected by high temperature operation. Whenever possible, avoid
turning all channels to 100% for extended periods, such as channel checks or focusing.
Duty Cycle
Operating the fixtures 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 practise 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, Selador fixtures should be powered down by disconnecting from power
either at the breaker or by unplugging.

Safety Cable
Safety cable attachment points
The safety cable (or other approved safety device) should be attached to the fixture housing
and wrapped around the hanging structure (pipe). Appropriate attachment points (holes)
are provided in the protruding tabs on either end of the fixture housing. Take care to leave
as little slack as possible in the safety cable to avoid the cable catching the yoke of the
fixture.

Installing Secondary Lenses
Loosen screw
Raise panel
Lens slot
Up to two secondary lenses can be installed in the slots towards the front of the fixture. The
stacking order and distance from the LED array are not important to the function of the
lenses. To avoid lenses being too loose and potentially overlapping each other, use the
narrower slots for thinner lenses.
To install secondary lenses:
Step 1:Loosen the screw on the end of the access panel that has the slot in it.
Step 2:Raise the panel out of the way, but leave it attached to the fixture.
Step 3:Slide the secondary lenses into the slots above the LEDs.
Step 4:Lower the panel and tighten the screw.

and fuses
Connect AC input power and DMX data cables to the appropriate ports as shown below.
Connect the incoming DMX data cable to the DMX Input connector. If you are
daisy-chaining the data to other fixtures or DMX-controlled devices, connect the next DMX
cable to the DMX Thru connector. The Selador Series fixtures require that the last fixture
on a DMX line be terminated with a 120 resistor between pins 2 and 3.
Connect the AC Input cable:
Align and insert the power connector. Twist the connector clockwise until it locks into place.
Disconnect the AC Input cable:
Slide back the locking tab, twist the connector counterclockwise and pull to unlock and
disconnect the power connector.
Fuse
The quarter-turn fuse-holder requires a straight blade screwdriver to remove and reinstall
a fuse. Refer to Fuse Capacities, page 16 for information about fuse types.

display
Decrease
push button
Use the two push buttons on the bottom of the fixture to set the starting address for the
fixture. View the LED display with the push buttons on the left. The top push button
increases the number and the bottom push button decreases the number. Pressing and
holding the push button increases the rate of change. When fixtures are powered up,
they may temporarily respond to DMX address 001 for the first few seconds of
operation. New address settings take effect after the LED display turns off.
CAUTION:
Up and down address buttons are recessed to avoid inadvertent address changes. Use a
Phillips screwdriver or other blunt device to lightly push the switches. To avoid damaging
the switches, do not use sharp objects or excessive force when changing fixture address.
Addresses must be set between 1 and 505. Selador fixtures are manufactured based on an
11" LED array, or cell. Each cell can be addressed individually. Eleven inch fixtures have
one cell, 21 fixtures have two cells, 42 fixtures have four cells, and 63 fixtures have six cells.
A 42 fixture can be addressed as four individual cells, one cell, or any combination.
Each Selador fixture must be considered a separate DMX device for the purpose of
DMX line-loading calculations, with the exception of 63 fixtures. These 63 fixtures
must each be considered 1.5 DMX devices for line loading.
Do not push the up and down address buttons simultaneously, or internal fixture
software settings can be inadvertently compromised and performance affected.
FixtureNumber of CellsNumber of DMX Devices
1111
2121
4241
6361.5
DMX line-loading practice dictates that no more than 31 devices can be daisy-chained
together. Consequently, no combination of Selador fixtures totaling more than 31 DMX
devices should be configured in one DMX line. For example, twenty 6-cell units (30 DMX
devices) are okay. Twenty-one 6-cell units (31.5 DMX devices) are not acceptable. For runs
of fixtures totaling more than 31 DMX devices, split the DMX runs by using a DMX splitter.
Note:
13Selador Series User Manual
A fixture with a starting address higher than 505 will not have control of all parameters.
Therefore, 505 is the highest address shown on the address display.
