INSTALLATION AND SET UP

1. Power Requirements

The PL3 LED Luminaire operates on 120 to 240 volts AC (+/- 10%, auto-ranging). The luminaire contains an auto­ranging power supply. Depending on supply voltage, each luminaire can draw up to 4.60 amps.

2. Connecting Power

If the unit is supplied with an AC input cable (PL3BE), Table 1 describes how to connect power to your PL3 LED Luminaire. Field wiring of the PL3 LED Luminaire is straight forward. A total of 3 wires/conductors need to be brought to the unit. For detailed power specifications, see "PL3 LED Luminaire Specifications" on page 33. The following wiring scheme is required:
Table 1: PL3 LED Luminaire AC Input Connections
Wire Color Purpose
Brown Main / Line (120 to 240VAC)
Blue Neutral
Green/Yellow Ground / Earth

3. Connecting to the DMX512 Network

Installation & User’s Manual
Basic DMX512 installation consists of connecting multiple PL3 LED Luminaires together in "daisy-chai n" fashion. A cable runs from the control console (or DMX512 control source) to the DMX connector on the first PL3 LED Luminaire. Another cable runs from the other DMX connector on the first unit to a DMX connector on the next PL3 LED Luminaire (or DMX512 device to be controlled).
Note: For more information on DMX512 networking and systems, refer to "Additional Resources for DMX512" on
page 1. For PL3 LED Luminaire DMX Mapping, refer to "DMX CONTROL" on page 16.

Pan & Tilt DMX Operation Notes

• PL3MKIT is an accessory and is sold separately. PL3MKIT must be installed in order to use this feature.
• Under DMX Control, the PAN and TILT are interlocked, you cannot move both at the same time. In order to move PAN, TILT and BEAM the level for each axis of movement must be set to 50% (DMX 127) to start. To initiate movement, from the starting point of 50% (DMX 127) the user must set values above or below this level. Increas­ing the value above 50% starts movement in one direction and entering a value below 50% moves the luminaire or the focus in the opposite direction. The greater the change in value the faster the luminaire will move (see table). To stop movement return the control to the 50%.
• The very ends of the DMX ranges 0-15 and 239-255, represent the end of travel stop ranges; if that range is entered you must return to 50% (DMX 127) before it will move again. This was done so that if a DMX control device uses sliders, 0 is stopped and moving back towards 50% (DMX 127) will not cause the fixture to move.
• All Strand Lighting Palette and Light Palette consoles feature fixture libraries to simplify control of these lumi­naires. The luminaire attribute map is published in this manual and has been provided to all console manufacturers to allow them to create fixture libraries. Contact your console manufacturer for a library if you do not have one in your control system.

5. PL3 Luminaire DMX Timing Channel Detail

Timing channel control improves the timed moves of certain groups of parameters. The PL3 LED Luminaire provides two timing channels in 16-bit mode (one for intensity time and one for color time) and one timing channel in 8-b it (color and intensity timing combined). The luminaire uses its timing channel value to calculate a smooth continuous operation for a given time and transition.
Guidelines:
• Timing channels support time values from zero to 169 seconds.
• To use a timing channel instead of console timing, it is recommended to set the timing channel to the desired value and set cue and/or console cue fade time to zero. A combination of time controls can produce unexpected results.
• The default value setting in the profile should be 255 (proportional control) to allow smooth operation when using console timing.
• The timing chan nel dat a sho uld change as a snap. A zero value will give the fastest operation, however, without any smoothing this can appear "steppy" in console timed moves.
Refer to "PL3 Luminaire Timing Channel Detail" on page 23 for more information.

CLEANING AND CARE

WARNING! All cleaning should be performed wi th power completely removed from the luminaire. Never remove protective covers. Wear appropriate protective eye wear and gloves when cleaning the fixture. All service and maintenance, other than described herein, should be performed by qualified personnel or Authorized Service Center.

1. Special Cleaning and Care Instructions

Being a solid-state fixture, the PL3 LED Luminaire requires very little routine mainten ance by the user. This section covers portions of the luminaire that can be removed for cleaning.
The PL3 Luminaire requires special care when it comes to cleaning the front lens assembly. Additional care needs to be taken with the plastic components because they are much easier to scratch or damage than glass.
WARNING! Do not use acidic solutions, such as ammonia-based cleaners, acetone, or other harsh solvents on or near the PL3 LED Luminaire. These types of cleaners and solvents will attack the luminaire’s polymers and will permanently damage the optics or housings of the fixture.
The following is a list of cleaning materials required to care for your PL3 LED Luminaire:
• Lint free lens tissue
• Lint or powder free gloves
• Mild soap solution com prised of 1 to 2% mild detergent and 98 - 99% distilled water. If mild soap solution does not clean after several attempts, reagent grade isopropyl alcohol may be used.*
Note: *Reagent grade isopropyl alcohol is good to use on the PL3 LED Luminaire plastic optics with anti-reflection coatings.
If the lens is still dirty after using isopropyl alcohol, for instance if fingerprints or oil is just redistributed and not cleaned off the optic, then a mild soap and water solution can be used to gently wash the lens. Repeat the cleani ng with isopropyl alcohol to eliminate streaks and soap residue.
If you have any questions regarding the use or care of you r PL3 LED Luminaire, please contact Philips Selecon technical support or your local Authorized Dealer.

2. Lens Cleaning

Front Lens (Exterior)

To clean the exterior front lens:
Step 1. Turn off luminaire and allow to cool completely. Step 2. Apply a small amount of reagent grade isopropyl alcohol to lint-free lens tissue. Step 3. Wipe all debris, dirt, fingerprints, etc. from lens. Step 4. Using a second lint-free lens tissue, wipe off any alcohol residue.
