FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
The FXLD136RGB is a PAR style RGB LED lighting fixture. It is suitable for stage, disco, night club, and other artistic applications. It has several stand alone control modes, a master/slave mode, and can operate via a DMX-512 external signal.
A double yoke enables it to be operated in several positions.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The FXLD136RGB is rated IP20 and is intended for
INDOOR USE ONLY.
Locate the unit in a well ventilated area away from moisture and heat. Holes are provided on the yokes to install a lighting bar pipe clamp. A safety cable should also be used.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The FXLD136RGB has a line cord for connection to a 120 VAC, 15 Amp, 60Hz, grounded service.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
CAUTION
The safety ground pin on the power cord 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 which can be used for DMX control. They are both XLR type connectors. Some units use 3 pin connectors. Others use 5 pin connectors. The FXLD136RGB receives a DMX signal on the 3 pin MALE connector on the back of the unit. The 3 pin FEMALE connector is used to connect the next DMX device on the control chain. If your console uses a 5 pin connector you can make up an adapter cable to accommodate this. The table below shows the pin assignments for BOTH the 3 pin and 5 pin connectors.

DMX TERMINATION
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
Operating options are set using the LED display and 4 buttons
(MENU, ENTER, UP, DOWN)
on the rear of
the fixture.
