Avoiding damage
Do not point the front of the luminaire towards the sun or other strong light sources. The
front lens focuses and concentrates light just like a magnifying glass. Strong light can
cause internal damage to the luminaire, melting components or starting an internal fire
within seconds.
Figure 1. Avoiding damage from light sources
Damage can occur whether the luminaire is powered on or off. See Figure 1.Damage
can also occur if the light hits the front of the luminaire at an angle: the luminaire 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 a luminaire to sunlight or any other strong light source.
• For outdoor applications during daylight, make sure that the front face of any
luminaire is shielded or points away from the sun, even when not in use.
• Avoid pointing other high-powered beam lights directly at the luminaire.
Do not pick up or carry the luminaire by the front lens bezel. The LCD display is also
fragile. Picking up or supporting the luminaire in these spots could result in damage
that is not covered by the product warranty.
Use only original spare parts. Any structural modification of the system will void the
product warranty.
Inspect the luminaire regularly and clean it if necessary. Clean the luminaire only as
directed in this manual. Oils, solvents, and other chemicals commonly used for
cleaning can damage the lens coatings and surfaces.
Do not drop the luminaire or expose it to mechanical stress.
Do not expose the luminaire to heat (from other lighting luminaires for example).
Transportation and storage
Transport the impression FR1 TM either in a flightcase or in its original packaging to
protect the luminaire from damage caused by shocks during transportation.
Store the luminaire in a dry location when not in use.

Product features
The impression® FR1 TM from GLP® is a high-quality moving head lighting luminaire with
a 60 watt RGBW LED and advanced optics that give a powerful, homogenous and
sharply defined beam throughout the luminaire’s 10:1 zoom range. Advanced
German design allows exceptional performance and a versatile feature set to be
packed into one of the most compact moving head lighting luminaires currently
available. Smooth pan and tilt head movement, RGB color mixing, color presets, zoom,
strobe, shutter and dimmer effects and wireless DMX control all make the FR1 TM a
spectacular alternative to static lighting track luminaires.
The luminaire is designed for easy mounting on EUTRAC 3 Standard Surface Lighting
Track.
See www.eutrac.de/3/1/en/products/~3_surface_track_standard.
It is possible to control large numbers of luminaires – individually and/or as groups – via
wireless DMX using the CRMX system from LumenRadio.
See https://lumenradio.com/products/wireless-dmx/.
The impression FR1 TM is not suitable for household use, for use in any location where
unattended children have access to it, or for use in permanent outdoor installations.
Light source
The impression FR1 TM is equipped with an OSRAM Ostar RGBW LED with a rated
lifetime of up to 50 000 hours.
Removable micro-Fresnel lens
A detachable micro-Fresnel lens is fitted to the front of the luminaire to give a smoother
beam. It is possible to remove this lens to obtain a harder-edged beam (see page 30).
Pan and tilt
The impression FR1 TM pans through 540° and tilts through 220° with coarse and fine
control channels and self-correcting position feedback.
Pan and tilt position feedback can be disabled using the control panel or the
Control/Settings DMX channel.
The direction of pan and tilt movement can be reversed by selecting Invert command
using the control panel or the Control/Settings DMX channel, and you can also swap
pan and tilt via the control panel. Inverting and swapping movement is a fast way of
obtaining symmetrical effects without reprogramming at the console.
The default settings for position feedback, inversion and swapping are OFF.
Continuous (endless) pan rotation is also available on a separate DMX channel.
Color
The impression FR1 TM lets you control color using both color presets and 0-100%
continuous RGBW color mixing.
impression® FR1 TM User Manual 11
www.glp.de
If you use the color presets channel, we recommend that you set RGBW levels to 100%
as a starting point before selecting a color preset. After you have selected a color on
the color preset channel you can then fine-tune it using the RGBW channels.
CTC
The CTC DMX channel lets you adjust color temperature from 2500 to 10 000 K.
If you use the CTC channel, we recommend that you set RGBW levels to 100% as a
starting point before setting a color temperature. After you have set a color
temperature on the CTC channel you can then fine-tune it using the RGBW channels.
Shutter effects
The impression FR1 TM features an electronic dimmer / shutter system that provides
pulse and strobe effects.
Dimming
0 – 100% continuous dimming is available.
Light
output
DMX control value
Figure 3. Dimming curves
See Figure 3. You can select from three different dimming curves using the control
panel or the Control/Settings DMX channel: Linear, Soft and Extra soft:
• Light output using the Linear curve will appear to increase and decrease evenly
throughout the dimming range.
• The Soft and Extra soft curves give finer control at low light levels (where the eye is
more sensitive to changes in light level) and coarser control at high levels.
The default setting is Extra soft.

Fan modes
The four different cooling fan modes give you a range of options to choose from
depending on how much you want to give priority to high-intensity light output or to
low fan noise:
• Regulated gives priority to light output. If the luminaire is blacked out, fans run at
minimum speed. When light output intensity is increased, temperature regulation
increases fan speed to the level necessary to keep the luminaire at optimum
temperature.
• If light output is set to maximum intensity but the fans can keep the luminaire at
optimum temperature, there will be no regulation of light intensity. If the luminaire
begins to exceed optimum temperature, light intensity will be reduced until
optimum temperature can be maintained.
• High mode is optimized for maximum light output and suits operation in high ambient
temperatures. Fans are set to constant operation at high speed and light output
intensity is regulated in order to keep luminaire temperature at optimum level.
• Besides maximizing light output in high ambient temperatures, you can use this
mode to cool down a luminaire quickly or to remove dust from cooling fans.
• Medium mode is suitable for low-noise operation in normal ambient temperatures.
Fans are set to constant operation at medium speed and light output intensity is
regulated in order to keep luminaire temperature at optimum level.
• Low mode is optimized for minimum noise. Fans are set to constant operation at low
speed and light output intensity is regulated in order to keep luminaire temperature at
optimum level.
• This mode gives an extremely low fan noise level, but if you use it in high ambient
temperatures there may be a noticeable reduction in light output intensity.
In all fan modes, if luminaire temperature reaches a dangerous level, LEDs will be shut
down for a period until the fans have brought the temperature down to a safe level.
You can set the cooling fan mode using the control panel or the Control/Settings DMX
channel.
Movement performance
Three settings are available for the movement of mechanical effects (pan, tilt, zoom
etc.):
• In Normal mode, movement is set to achieve a balance between speed, noise and
smoothness that will be best in average situations. This is the default setting.
• In Fast mode, all movement is set to high speed. This mode gives impressively fast
effects, but noise levels will be higher than in Normal mode.
• In Smooth mode, movement is optimized to obtain the smoothest action and lowest
noise. This mode gives super low-noise operation and smooth performance, but effect
movement is slower than in Normal mode.
You can select movement performance settings using the control panel or the
Control/Settings DMX channel.
impression® FR1 TM User Manual 13
www.glp.de
No-DMX (behavior when the luminaire is not receiving a DMX signal)
You can set the luminaire to respond in four different ways if no DMX signal is present (if
the luminaire is being controlled by DMX but the DMX signal stops, or if you apply
power to the luminaire when no DMX signal is present):
• Hold sets the luminaire to continue obeying the last DMX values it received. This is the
default setting.
• Blackout sets the luminaire to black out whenever it is not receiving a DMX signal.
• Stand-Alone sets the luminaire to play its stored stand-alone scene (see DMX Shot
below) when the luminaire is not receiving a DMX signal. If no stand-alone scene is
stored in memory, the luminaire will black out.
• DMX Shot takes a snapshot of the DMX values that are currently being received and
stores them in the luminaire’s memory as its stand-alone scene. The luminaire will
display this stand-alone scene if it is set to Stand-Alone (see above) and is not
receiving a DMX signal.
You can select one of the above four settings using the control panel or the
Control/Settings DMX channel.
Zoom
The impression FR1 TM has a 10:1 zoom range. You can narrow the beam angle from
35° in flood mode to 3.7° in spot mode.
Zoom can be inverted from flood spot to spot flood using the control panel and
the Control/Settings DMX channel. The default setting for zoom inversion is OFF.
Control panel
The control panel on the side of the yoke has a backlit graphic LCD display for setting
up the luminaire and changing luminaire settings. See ‘Control menu layout’ on page
22 for a table showing the control menu structure and options available.
PWM frequency
You can change the LED dimming PWM frequency using either a DMX command or a
control panel setting in order to avoid flicker and beat frequencies in video images.
The default PWM setting is 582 Hz. You can adjust the PWM frequency continuously
from 582 to 618 Hz, or you can set it to either 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600 Hz. Note that a
higher PWM frequency may affect dimming performance.
The PWM frequency setting is stored in the luminaire and is not affected by cycling
power off and on. However, it will be affected if you use the Factory default command
in the control menus.
You should set all the luminaires in an installation to the same PWM frequency in order
to ensure the same performance. As described above, you can do this using the PWM
frequency selection or Factory default commands in the control menus or using the
PWM frequency DMX channel.

Installing the luminaire on lighting track
To install the luminaire:
Check that the lighting track is safely and correctly installed in accordance with
the track manufacturer’s instructions. Check that the track can safely support a
load of 5 kg per 500 mm / 11.1 lbs. per 20 in. Do not install more than one FR1 TM
luminaire per 1000 mm / 40 in.
Check that the head of the luminaire will be at least 0.5 m (20 in.) away from
combustible materials (paper, textiles, wood, etc.) when the luminaire is installed.
Shut down and lock out power to the lighting track.
Check that the fasteners at both ends of the luminaire’s track adapter are in the
open position and oriented so that they will fit correctly into the track.
Lift the luminaire up to the lighting track and pass the track adapter and fasteners
into the track. If the fasteners are not correctly oriented, remove the luminaire from
the track, turn it 180° end-to-end and pass the track adapter and fasteners into the
track again.
Warning! Support the weight of the luminaire until you have closed both
of the two mechanical fasteners at the ends of the track adapter. Do
not allow a luminaire to hang from one fastener only.

Setting up for DMX control
To configure the luminaire for control via DMX, open the menus in the fixture’s control
panel and set the fixture’s DMX Address. Note the following:
• The FR1 TRM uses 16 DMX channels. If individual control of luminaires is required, each
luminaire must have its own 16 channels in the 512 channels that are available in one
DMX universe. If you give the first luminaire DMX address 1, for example, you should
give the next luminaire DMX address 17.
• If you want two or more luminaires to behave identically at all times, you can give
them the same DMX address.
• The default DMX address is 1.
• If you need to use more than 512 DMX channels, use a DMX controller that can
manage two or more DMX universes.
Use certified DMX cable for DMX links between XLR-type DMX connectors.
Connecting to a CRMX wireless control system
The impression FR1 TM has an onboard wireless receiver that allows remote control by
DMX over a Lumenradio CRMX wireless network. You can use any transmitter that is
CRMX-compatible.
See Figure 9. Either connect a PC running a DMX control application via a USB-DMX
interface or connect a dedicated DMX control console to a CRMX transmitter. Check
the user documentation of those devices (make sure that the luminaires will be within
the transmitter’s range, for example).
Figure 9. CRMX wireless control system
To establish wireless connections between the CRMX transmitter and luminaires:
Apply power to the luminaires and to the CRMX transmitter.
impression® FR1 TM User Manual 19
www.glp.de
If the luminaires are set up with any existing network connections, delete them by
pressing and holding the wireless linking button on the side of the luminaire for
around 10 seconds. The luminaire is now ready for a new connection.
Put the CRMX transmitter into discovery mode following the instructions in the
transmitter’s user documentation. The transmitter will now search for unlinked
luminaires for a limited period.
To link one or more impression FR1 TM luminaires to the transmitter, press the wireless
linking button on the side of the luminaire(s) once. As soon the button is pressed the
luminaire will try to connect to any CRMX transmitter that is within range and in
discovery mode.
If a handshake between a luminaire and a transmitter is successful and a connection is
established, the connection is stored in both the luminaire and the transmitter. The
luminaire and transmitter will remember the connection after a power cycle.
It is normally a good idea to delete any connections that are stored in a transmitter
before starting new linking processes. Deleting stored connections will help to ensure a
clean new installation.
Unlinking and linking luminaires
You can unlink a luminaire from a CRMX network at any time by pressing the wireless
linking button on the side of the luminaire and holding for around 10 seconds.
You can link an unlinked luminaire to a CRMX Network at any time by putting the
transmitter into discovery mode and pressing the wireless linking button on the side of
the luminaire once. The luminaire will then connect to the transmitter automatically. If
the luminaire fails to connect, press the wireless linking button for about 10 seconds to
delete any stored links, and then try the procedure again.

Notes:
Percentage values are calculated by dividing DMX values by 2.56 and rounding to the
nearest 0.1%.
*To apply a command on Channel 14 (Control/Settings), start at a value of zero, then
move to the required value and hold it for at least 3 seconds. If you move to the
required value from any other value than zero, the command will not be applied.
**To adjust the PWM frequency using the Control/Settings channel, start at a value of
zero, move to the required value and hold it for at least 5 seconds.

Service and maintenance
Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 4 for important safety information
that you must understand before you service the luminaire. Work in well-lit
conditions. Do not look directly into the light output.
Maintenance
Suggested maintenance intervals
The cleaning schedule depends on the operating environment. The intervals below are
suggestions from our experience with typical installations. Adjust as necessary.
Maintenance Task Interval How
Clean front lens Weekly
Clean fans and air channel Monthly
Lubricate zoom rails
Yearly or as
necessary
Wipe with soft cloth and glass cleaning
fluid.
Use soft brush and vacuum cleaner. Hold
fan blades still with pen or screwdriver to
avoid spinning them too fast with vacuum.
Apply tiny quantity of Klüber Barrierta to
rails.
Cleaning
impression FR1 TM components require occasional cleaning to prevent the buildup of
dust, dirt, and smoke fluid residue. Pay special attention to the air vents and front lens.
Failure to keep the luminaire clean will significantly reduce light output and may cause
damage. Do not let optical parts come into contact with oil or grease or touch with
bare fingers.
Regular cleaning will ensure the maximum performance and reliable operation. The
lenses and glass gobos may be cleaned with alcohol wipes or a soft cloth moistened
with isopropyl alcohol.
Wait until all parts are dry before operating the luminaire.
Lubrication
The only parts that may require occasional lubrication are the focus/zoom rails.
Contact GLP Service and Support for advice.
Removing and reinstalling the micro-Fresnel lens
If you would like to obtain a sharper-edged beam, you can remove the micro-Fresnel
lens that is installed in the front of the head (bear in mind that this will result in a slight
loss of evenness in the beam projection). The lens is held by three screws. A frost filter is
installed immediately under the lens.
30 impression® FR1 TM
User Manual
German Light Products®
To remove the micro-Fresnel lens:
Shut down power to the luminaire and allow it to cool.
Figure 11. Removing a micro-Fresnel lens
See Figure 11. Remove the three Phillips #1 screws (arrowed) from the lens in the
front of the head.
Tilt the head downwards and allow the lens A and frost
filter B to slide out of the head. Store the lens for possible
re-use.
Reinstall the frost filter in the head by passing the three
screws through the notches in the filter and tightening
them into their holes in the head.
If you reinstall the micro-Fresnel lens later, use the three
Phillips screws to fasten it into its original position over the
frost filter. See Figure 12. The smooth side of the lens must
face inwards and the ridges must face out of the head.

Main fuse
See Figure 13. The main fuse sits in a holder
in the bottom of the base.
If the luminaire appears to be completely
shut down even though power is applied,
the main fuse may have blown. Shut
down power to the track system before
replacing the fuse. Replace only with a
fuse of the same type and rating.
