2. Avoiding damage to the fixture
Important! Follow the directions in this section carefully, or the fixture may suffer
damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
General precautions
Do not drop the fixture or expose it to mechanical stress.
Protect the onboard LCD display and control panel from shocks, or they may suffer
damage that is not covered by the product warranty.
Do not expose the fixture to heat (from other lighting fixtures for example).
Clean optical components only as directed. Oils, solvents, and other chemicals
commonly used for cleaning can damage the lens coatings and surfaces.
Use only original spare parts. Do not make any structural modifications to the fixture or
you will void the product warranty.
Avoiding damage from light sources and heat
Do not point the front of the fixture towards the sun or other strong light sources. Strong
light can cause internal damage to the fixture, melting components or starting an
internal fire within seconds.
Figure 1. Avoiding damage from light sources
Damage can occur whether the fixture is powered on or off. See Figure 1. Damage
can also occur if the light hits the front of the fixture at an angle: the fixture does not
need to be pointing directly at the sun or other light source.
To avoid problems from strong light sources:
● Do not expose the front of the fixture to sunlight or any other strong light source.
● In outdoor applications during daylight, make sure that the front face of the fixture is
shielded or points away from the sun, even when not in use.
● Do not aim other high-powered beam lights directly at the fixture.
Do not operate the fixture in ambient temperatures above 40° C / 104° F. Allow free
airflow around the fixture.
10 EXO Spot 30 User Manual Rev. A
German Light Products® Avoiding damage to the fixture
IP rating
EXO Spot 30 fixtures are IP65-rated:
● IP stands for Ingress (entry into the fixture) Protection.
● The first figure 6 in the rating means that fixtures are protected against the entry of
dust and airborne particles.
● The second figure 5 in the rating means that fixtures are protected against the entry
of rain and water projections from all angles. Fixtures are not protected against
immersion in water and they are not protected against high-pressure water jets.
Avoiding damage from water and humidity
● Do not install EXO Spot 30 fixtures in a location where water can pool around the
fixture or allow EXO Spot 30 fixtures to become submerged in any other way. Do not
aim low- or high-pressure water jets at fixtures.
● Keep all unused connectors on the fixture sealed with their protective caps, both
when the fixture is being used and when it is not in use.
● In outdoor and high-humidity environments, use IP65-rated power and data
connectors and cable (an IP65 rating means that the item is protected against the
entry of water from rain, projections and low-pressure jets as well as the entry of
dust). When assembling connectors and installing them on cable, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions (see www.neutrik.com) and ensure that an IP65 rating is
maintained for the complete assembly. Use only the following cable connectors:
- IP65-rated 5-pin XLR connectors for data IN and OUT (THRU)
- Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3FX-W for Power IN
- Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 NAC3MX-W for Power OUT (THRU).
● Apply a dielectric grease (available from electrical suppliers) to connector terminals
and caps to prevent corrosion and/or electrical short circuits.
● Make sure that cables open into dry areas or sealed junction boxes. Moisture can
be drawn along cables by capillary action or pressure variations resulting from
thermal expansion.
● See drawing on right.
Arrange cables so that they
arrive at connectors from
below. Make sure that it is
impossible for water to flow
down cables and
accumulate at connectors.
If necessary, provide extra
cable slack and create ‘drip loops’ before connectors.
● Create loose cable bends only. Do not subject connections to bending forces or
allow connections to bear the weight of long lengths of cable.
EXO Spot 30 User Manual Rev. A 11

Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 5 for important safety information
that you must understand before you install or operate the fixture. Install
EXO Spot 30 fixtures only as described in this chapter, or you may create an
installation that is unsafe.
Install the fixture at least 0.5 m / 20 in. away from combustible materials
(wood, textiles, paper, etc.), 0.5 m / 20 in. away from any surface that will
be illuminated, and a safe distance away from any flammable materials
(volatile spirits, etc.).
It is the installer’s responsibility to provide a stable, secure supporting
structure that is suitable for the environment and application and that
meets all applicable codes and legal requirements. Note the requirement
to secure lighting fixtures with safety cables in temporary installations.
Permitted mounting options
An EXO Spot 30 fixture may be installed in one of the following ways:
1. Fastened to a rigging truss or similar structure at any angle by means of
truss couplers or other clamps fixed to the two Omega brackets which attach
to the half-turn couplers on the underside of the base.
2. Standing upright on the base on a horizontal surface.
Securing fixtures with a safety cable
In temporary installations, if a fixture can cause injury or damage if it falls you must
secure it with a secondary attachment such as a safety cable that will hold it if the
primary means of attachment fails. The safety cable must be approved for the weight
that it secures. In multiple installations, each fixture must have its own safety cable.
EXO Spot 30 User Manual Rev. A 15
www.glp.de Installation
To secure an EXO Spot 30 fixture with a safety cable:
Figure 3. Safety cable attachment
1. Loop a safety cable around a secure anchoring point such as a truss
beam or fixed structure so that it will catch the fixture if a rigging clamp fails.
Take up as much slack as possible in the safety cable (by looping it more than
once around the bar, for example).
2. See Figure 3 and Figure 4. Fasten the safety cable through the slot “B” on
the underside of the fixture base. Check that the fixture is now secured.
Installing on a rigging truss or similar structure
You can suspend an EXO Spot 30 fixture from a rigging truss or pipe using suitable
clamps attached to the Omega Brackets supplied with the EXO Spot 30.
If you are going to install the fixture hanging vertically downwards from a horizontal
rigging truss or pipe, you can fasten it to the truss using G-clamps. If you are going to
install the fixture in any other orientation, you must use half-coupler clamps that
completely surround the truss chord or pipe.

www.glp.de AC mains power
5. AC mains power
Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 5 for important safety information
that you must understand before you install or operate the fixture.
Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation
environment and application (see recommendations in ‘Avoiding damage
to the fixture’ on page 10).
Use H07 RN-F 3 x 2.5mm / SJT 12 AWG cables with original Neutrik powerCON
TRUE1 connectors to supply power to fixtures.
Line up the keyways in connectors carefully. Do not try to insert or twist a
connector if it feels excessively stiff. Resistance to insertion or twisting is a sign
that connectors may be incorrectly lined up.
Keep connectors sealed with their rubber caps at all times when not in use.
Included items
The EXO Spot 30 is supplied with a power cord with Neutrik powerCON TRUE1
connector.
Connecting to power
The AC mains power supply must include a connection to ground / protective earth. It
must be protected against ground / earth leakage and overload. The fixture’s internal
auto-sensing power supply accepts AC power at 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz. Do not connect
the fixture to power at any other voltage or to an external dimmer.
The EXO Spot 30 does not have a power ON/OFF switch. Power is applied to the fixture
as soon as the power cable becomes live.
The EXO Spot 30 has a 3-conductor Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 Mains IN power input
socket that accepts AC power from a TRUE1 female cable connector. Although TRUE1
connectors support hot plugging, it is still good practice to shut down power to power
cables before connecting them to fixtures.
To connect the fixture to power:
1. If convenient, shut down power to the power input cable.
2. Note the position of the keys and keyways on the TRUE1 power cable
connector and Mains IN socket and align them with each other. Insert the
cable connector into the socket and twist clockwise to lock. Do not use force.
If the connector feels excessively stiff, remove it and check again that it is
lined up correctly.
3. Before applying power to the power cable, check that nobody is looking
directly into the front of the fixture.
To disconnect the fixture from power, pull the latch on the cable connector outwards
to release it, then twist the connector counterclockwise and pull to remove it from the

6. Connecting to DMX data
Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation environment and
application (see recommendations in ‘Avoiding damage to the fixture’ on page 10).
Use digital 110 Ohm DMX cable with IP65 5-pin XLR connectors to supply DMX data to
fixtures.
Keep connectors sealed with their rubber caps at all times when not in use.
The EXO Spot 30 has two 5-pin XLR sockets for IN and THRU connections to a DMX data
link. EXO Spot 30 fixtures support the USITT DMX 512A signal protocol. They also support
RDM (Remote Device Management).
The 5-pin XLR connectors use standard pin allocations:
The DMX cable should start at the console and be daisy-chained through each fixture
to be controlled using the DMX input and DMX link out connectors. If you need to split
the DMX cable, use a powered DMX splitter.
If you would like advice with planning and installing a DMX link, your GLP supplier will
be happy to provide assistance.

German Light Products® Starting and stopping operation
7. Starting and stopping operation
Warning! Before you apply power to the fixture or operate it after a
blackout, make sure that nobody is looking directly into the front of the
fixture.
The EXO Spot 30’s TRUE1 mains power input connector supports hot-plugging, and
connecting and disconnecting a live power cable is an option, especially if you need
to shut down power urgently, but it is still good practice to shut down power to the AC
mains power circuit before connecting and disconnecting power cables.
To start operation, check that nobody is looking into the front of the fixture, then apply
power to the AC mains power circuit.
To stop operation, shut down power to the AC mains power circuit.

8. Features
The EXO Spot 30 unit has the following features:
Position
Pan rotation 540°, Tilt rotation 258° with 16 bit resolution. The fixture will automatically
reposition if knocked – this option can be disabled from the menu. The Pan and Tilt
movements can be inverted using the menu.
Color wheels
Color can be controlled either by variable Cyan, Magenta, Yellow control channels (8-
10), or fixed color filters can be selected using Color 1/Cyan, Color 2/Magenta, Color
3/Yellow control channels (5-7).
To set a fixed color you must have the corresponding variable color channel set to zero
● to set Color 1 on channel 5 you must set Cyan on channel 8 to zero,
● to set Color 2 on channel 6 you must set Magenta on channel 9 to zero,
● to set Color 3 on channel 7 you must set Yellow on channel 10 to zero,

Dimming
16-bit dimming control is provided. You can select from two dimming curves using the
control panel or the Control / Settings DMX channel, see Figure 8:
Figure 8. Dimming curves
● Linear sets dimming so that it appears to increase and decrease evenly throughout
the dimming range.
● Soft gives finer control at low light levels and coarser control at high light levels.
The default setting is Soft.
Strobe / shutter
A variety of strobing and fading effects can be produced by the fixture.
Prism
A three segment prism allows beam splitting effects. The prism can be independently
inserted in the beam path or removed, and can be continuously rotated in either
direction or set to an indexed position.
Frost
A variable amount of frost / diffusion can be added to the light beam
Focus
Variable focus allows you to focus the output on Gobo wheel 1, Gobo wheel 2 or
create gobo morph effects by moving focus between two gobos.
Zoom
The beam size can be controlled between 7 degrees and 30 degrees. A menu option
allows you to reverse the operation of the zoom control.

German Light Products® Features
Behavior when the fixture is not receiving a DMX signal
You can set the fixture to react in three different ways if no DMX signal is present (if the
fixture is being controlled by DMX but the DMX signal stops, or if you apply power to
the fixture when no DMX signal is present):
● Blackout sets the fixture to black out. This is the default setting.
● Hold sets the fixture to continue obeying the last DMX values it received. If no DMX
signal was being received, the fixture will black out.
● Preset Scene sets the fixture to output a preset scene which you have previously
captured from an incoming DMX state using the Manual Control > Capture Scene
menu option. You can also manually set the control values (or edit the captured
values) using the attribute settings in the Manual Control menu.
All these settings are available via DMX on the Control / Settings channel and in the
fixture’s control panel.
EXO Spot 30 User Manual Rev. A 25
www.glp.de Control menus and onboard display
9. Control menus and onboard display
Warning! DMX control is disabled when the control menus are active. Be
prepared for the fixture to emit strong light as soon as you exit the control
menus.
The control panel and onboard LCD display provide access to user settings, readouts
and utilities.
Figure 9. Onboard display
The four control buttons have the following functions:
MODE/ESC: Activate the menus or go back one level towards the top of the
menu.
UP: Scroll up or increase a number.
DOWN: Scroll down or reduce a number.
ENTER: Activate the control panel if it is in sleep mode. Then enter a menu, select
a setting or implement a command.
When you apply power to the fixture, it boots up. After it has booted, the panel
displays the default screen.
The Battery button is used to power up the control panel for setup before mains is
connected to the unit. Battery mode can be disabled in the menu.
The W-DMX indicator shows when wireless DMX is being received, if the optional
wireless module has been fitted.
26 EXO Spot 30 User Manual Rev. A
German Light Products® Control menus and onboard display
DMX control is disabled when the control menus are active.
Display options
The illuminated LCD display lets you change fixture settings. The display has a battery
backup so that you can change the settings before mains is connected to the fixture.
See Chapter 9 for more details.
Using the Control / Settings DMX channel or the fixture’s control panel you can:
Set display modes using the Fixture Settings > Display Mode option:
- On: The display stays on constantly. This setting can be useful when you are
configuring or servicing the fixture.
- Auto: The display will automatically switch off after a few seconds even if the fixture
is not receiving a valid control signal or if it has detected an error.
Invert the display using the Fixture Settings > Display Orientation option, so it is easier to
read if the fixture is hanging upside down.
Display Locking
On the Fixture Settings > Lock menu, you can configure the display to lock after a
period of time to prevent accidental changes to the options.
You can set a custom lock code using the Fixture Settings > Lock > Set Passcode
option. If you do not set a custom code, the default code is 0000.
Manual Control
Using the Manual Control menu you can set fixed values to the fixture’s control
channels, as if it was in DMX control mode 1. This is useful when testing.
LED PWM frequency
The LEDs in the unit are dimmed using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) which can
sometimes cause flickering on cameras. The Fixture Settings > PWM option allows you
to select different frequencies for the PWM to fix such issues. The higher frequencies
may cause reduced dimming performance.
Fan control
The fixture has internal cooling fans. In a noise critical situation you can slow these
down using the Fixture Settings > Fan Mode option. The normal setting is Regulated
which will adjust the fan speed automatically. If you set the option to Low the fan
speed is kept slow but this may result in the fixture overheating and reducing its output.
The fixture has an additional fan near the lens to clear condensation. You can control
how this fan works using the Fixture Settings > Defog option.
Fixture information
The Information menu in the control panel gives access to items of information from
the fixture’s sensors and memory. You can check temperature sensor readouts, see
total operating hours counters, and see software version number, for example.
EXO Spot 30 User Manual Rev. A 27
www.glp.de Control menus and onboard display
Pan disable / Tilt disable
These options allow you to disable the startup reset movements or disable the drive of
the pan and/or tilt motors. The options are
- Off: Normal motor control
- Reset Disabled: The fixture will not do its power on reset sequence on this motor but
the motor is still controlled. This can be used when a fixture is mounted in a
confined space and would collide with an obstruction if it did the reset sequence.
- Current Disabled: The motor drive function is completely disabled. This is mostly
used for service or diagnostics.
Preset settings and factory defaults
You can store three different versions of option settings using the Service > Service
Advanced > Save Settings menu and load them using the Load Settings > Preset 1-2-3
options. These allow you to quickly set up the fixture in a particular configuration.
Settings are stored after a power off/on cycle and after a reset.
Two options are available in the fixture’s control panel for deleting multiple custom
settings and restoring defaults:
- Service > Default Settings reloads all the fixture’s factory default settings except
DMX address, DMX mode, captured scene, preset settings and offset values. This
option returns the fixture to baseline settings without affecting its basic
configuration in an installation.
- Service > Service Advanced > Factory Backup reloads all the fixture’s factory
default settings including DMX address, DMX mode, and erases all storage. This
option reinitializes the fixture completely and returns to its state when it left the
factory.

Warning! There are no user-serviceable parts inside the fixture. Opening the
fixture can compromise its IP65 rating and cause damage that is not covered
by the product warranty. Any service operation that requires removal of a
cover must be performed by a professional service technician with the tools,
skills, and personal protective equipment to maintain high-powered lighting
equipment safely and efficiently.
13. Service
Cleaning
EXO Spot 30 fixtures require occasional cleaning to prevent the buildup of dust, dirt, and
residue from atmospheric effects. Failure to keep the fixture clean will significantly reduce
light output and may cause heat buildup and damage that is not covered by the product
warranty. Regular cleaning will ensure maximum performance and reliable operation.
The cleaning schedule depends on the operating environment. Check fixtures regularly for
signs of dirt buildup.
You can clean the fixture using a soft cloth slightly dampened with a household or
automotive glass cleaning product. Do not apply pressure to the clear front or display on
the back of the fixture, as you may scratch these surfaces.
Use the tilt lock mechanism to hold the head in a vertical position for easier cleaning.
