DMX Control

The SolaFrame 750 fixture operates on standard DMX512 control bus, controlled by a DMX console. A SolaFrame 750 fixture requires 47 channels of DMX512. Attach the fixture to the control bus using a two-core, shielded cable with a 5-pin XLR connector (Belden 9729 is preferred).
Two XLR termination receptacles are available, one for connection of DMXInput, and one for DMXOut (used when daisy-chaining to additional fixtures on the DMX control bus).

DMX Connector Pinout

For DMXInput, the DMX cable must have a male XLR connector on one end of the cable. When daisy-chaining DMX, the other end of the cable must have a female XLR connector. Terminate the cable ends as indicated in the pinout graphic below.

Terminate DMX512

For installations where there is a long DMX cable run, or is in an electrically noisy environment, it is recom­mended to use a DMX terminator or install a resistor on the last fixture of the DMXcontrol run to prevent cor­ruption (data reflection) of the digital control signal by electrical noise.
l A DMXterminator is an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which can be
installed into the DMX output receptacle of the last fixture in the DMX control run. This plug is available and sold separately. Contact your local High End dealer for ordering information.
l Alternatively, terminate the link by installing a 120 ohm, 1/4 watt (minimum) resistor in the fixture’s Data
Out (female) cable connector in the last fixture on each DMX control run.
Reference the graphics below:
19
Connect DMXCables to Fixture
The following instructions are guidelines for connecting DMX to your fixture. Your installation may vary.
1. Connect the male XLR connector of a DMX data cable to the DMX Out connector on the DMX control source.
2. Connect the female XLR connector of the DMX data cable to the Data In connector of the first fixture on the DMX data control run.
3. Continue linking the remaining fixtures connecting a cable from the Data Out connector of each fixture to the Data In connector of the next fixture on the link.
20

DMX Start Address

All fixtures must be given a unique DMX starting address when using a DMX control signal, so that the correct fix­ture responds to the correct received control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX control source.
Modify the fixture DMX start address on the user interface, located on the upper enclosure. See Menu Settings
and Programming on page 23.
If you set the same address, all the units will “listen” to the same control signal from the same channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only the selected fixture.
In the case of the moving head, which is a 47 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 48 (47+ 1), the third to 95 (48+ 47), and so on.
21

5. When all scenes have been recorded, the display will return to the main menu.
Note: While capturing the DMX data from the control source, the SolaFrame 750 does not
playback the DMXinput, it only captures the data into the on-board memory. You must edit or playback the scene after recording to verify the results. Best practice is to prepare the scenes on a DMX controller with a zero crossfade for all parameters between each step. Remember that any change of a DMXvalue will automatically advance to the next scene for capturing.

Example: For example, when the display shows “Err Info: Pan Movement”, it
means there is an error in channel 1. When multiple errors are present they will cycle on the display twice, then the fixture will generate a second reset. Any errors that remain after two reset cycles are not correctable by reset alone and will require ser­vice. Please contact support if detailed assistance is needed.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The following must be considered during regular service and inspection:
l All screws for installing the device or parts of the device must be tightly connected and must not be cor-
roded.
l There must not be any deformations to the housing, lenses, rigging, and installation points (ceiling, sus-
pension, trussing).
l Motorized parts must not show any signs of wear and must move smoothly without issue.
l The power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediment.
Note: Further instructions depending on the installation location and usage must be
adhered to by a qualified installer and all safety concerns must be mitigated.
CAUTION: Disconnect the fixture from mains power before starting any maintenance
procedures.
In order to ensure the device remains in good working condition and does not fail prematurely, regular main­tenance is recommended.
1. Clean the inside and outside lens regularly to avoid loss of output due to accumulation of dust/ dirt on the lens.
2. Clean the fans regularly to ensure maximum airflow and efficient thermal cooling. This will ensure the light source is operated in the best possible condition.
Note: ETC and High End Systems, Inc. recommends frequent cleaning of the device.
Please use a moist, lint- free cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents.
If spare parts are required, order only genuine parts from your local authorized dealer.
