FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The FXLD1018FRP5I is a RGBWA LED lighting fixture. It is suitable for stage, disco, night club, and other artistic applications. It has several stand alone control modes and can operate via a DMX-512 external signal.
A double yoke enables the fixture to be operated in several positions.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The FXLD1018FRP5I is rated IP20 and is intended for
INDOOR USE ONLY.
Locate the unit in a well ventilated area away from moisture and heat. Keep the vent holes clear. Holes are provided on the yokes to install a lighting bar pipe clamp. Use a safety cable when hanging the fixture.
POWER CONNECTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
CAUTION
The FXLD1018FRP5I has a blue powercon style connector for power input. A compatible power cable is provided for connection to a 120 VAC, 15 Amp, 60Hz, grounded service. Push the blue connector on the cable straight into the blue connector on the unit and twist aprox. 1/8 turn clockwise to latch it.
The white powercon style connector on the unit is used to pass power on to another FXLD1018FRP5I unit. A mating white connector is also provided.
Caution is advised since the line cord is rated for aprox. 7 Amps maximum.
THE SAFETY GROUND TERMINAL ON THE POWER CABLE MUST BE USED.
DMX CONNECTIONS
A system using DMX control should be connected as a chain of devices. In other words the control signal cable should proceed from the controller to the first receiving device and then to others in a continuous "daisy chain" fashion.
The fixture has a DMX IN and a DMX OUT connector to be used to connect the chain. The control cable should NOT be split into a multiple run star arrangement with a cable running from the controller directly to each receiving device pack.

DMX CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS
There are two different connectors generally used for DMX control. They are both XLR type connectors. Some units use 3 pin connectors. Others use 5 pin. The FXLD1018FRP5I has both. DMX can be received on either the 3 pin or 5 pin MALE male connector on the back of the unit. The 3 and 5 pin FEMALE connectors are used to connect to the next DMX device on the control chain.
The table below shows the pin assignments for BOTH the 3 pin and 5 pin connectors.
DMX TERMINATION
PIN # SIGNAL NAME
1 DMX COMMON 2 DMX DATA ­3 DMX DATA + 4 NOT USED 5 NOT USED
A DMX chain should be terminated at the last receiving device on the chain. This is done by installing a commonly available 1/4 Watt, 120 Ohm resistor across the DATA - and DATA + wires at the last device. If you have only a few fixtures very close together and a very short run to the controller then you may be able to operate without the terminator.
OPERATION
A control panel on the back of the unit is used to set the operating options. It consists of an LED display and four buttons
(MENU, UP, DOWN, and ENTER)
