DISPLAY

When switched on, the installed software version is displayed, followed by the display of the default settings, ie the currently set operating mode.

	White	White	TW	RGBW	6C	8C
If the luminaire is DMX controlled, after 3 seconds the display will show the mode and DMX address. Otherwise it will show the potentiometers status. By pressing the ENTER (or SETUP) button you access the SETTINGS.With the PREV and NEXT buttons you can scroll the items list which in case of value type entries will have the function of increasing (+) or decreasing (-) the values.The ENTER button allows to access the submenu and change the values which can be confirmed by pressing ENTER or canceled with the BACK button, which can be used also to exit the submenu and go back to the main menu.
Display Mark-II –        Red band: the working list of presets. There are 3 lists:o    MANUAL PRESET: LEE filters + CCTo    MANUAL COLOUR: LEE filterso    MANUAL CCT: CCT (1500K – 20000K)To move from one list of presets to another use the arrows –        Filter name + filter code-        CCT –        Dimmer value 0 – 100%-        Dimmer value 0 – 255When switched on, the fixture recalls the last saved dimmer and preset value. How to save a preset:1. select the desired dimmer and preset values2. press and hold the red encoder (CCT/COLOUR WHEEL) for 3 seconds3. saving will be confirmed by the red color of the text Note:- if you change the dimmer, the color goes from red to yellow (and when you go back to the saved value it goes back to red)- if you change the preset, the color goes from red to white If the fixture is connected to a DMX console, the encoders are automatically disabled. If you need to activate the encoders without disconnecting the fixture from the console, press and hold the first button from the top for 2 seconds. To exit this mode, just hold down the same button for 2 seconds.

All the luminaires are designed to be used in different operating modes: 

• LOCAL ENCODER
• DMX
• RDM
• STAND ALONE (only for RGBW, 6C, 8C)

Input priority is given: 

• in absence of the DMX signal the value set with the potentiometer will be active
• when there is the DMX signal the relevant signal is followed and the potentiometer will be ignored
• if the DMX signal is eliminated or lost, the DMX set level is kept until you act on the potentiometer, which will set the new value.

All the fixtures are equipped with a temperature control of the LED and of the driver motherboard, which, to avoid an early deterioration in case of overtemperature, regulates the light intensity.

Some parameters can be modified directly into the fixture by using the SETTINGS menu or by using a consolle thanks to the DMX PERSONALITIES and related channels.

Settings

This section lists all the menu functions, highlighting, for each of them, in which group they are present.

DEFAULT SET: It brings the parameters back to the “original built-in settings” (i.e. fan speed, dimming curve, delay…) as they came out from factory
FACTORY SETTINGS: Password-protected menu, used by Spotlight Tech. Dept to apply special settings (limit the current, working hours reset, limit thePower consumption, …).  These parameters do NOT affect the “default settings” NOTE: Not for fina users.

DMX personalities

The following sections present the Personalities, called also DMX charts, available for each group to allow the lighting designer to choose which mode to operate the fixture in based on the parameters he decides to control and the number of channels available on the console he is using.

WHITE 50-100-200W

CURRENT MODULATION Mark-II 

This is an operating mode to eliminate flickering disturbances, caused by PWM driving of the LED, and acoustic disturbances, generated by electronic components. This mode is specifically indicated for applications in TV Studios or acoustic sheels where maximum silence of the devices and the absence of flicker are required.

WHITE 300-700W

TUNABLE WHITE

How to

This section shows the most common needs of a lighting designer and how to set the main functions.

HOW TO SET DMX ADDRESS AND TO CHOOSE DMX PERSONALITY (DMX CHART)
In order to control one or more fixtures via console, it is necessary to assign each one a DMX address and choose a DMX chart based on the parameters of the luminaire you want to control and the channels available on the console. At the first fixture, channel 1 is allocated and occupies as many channels as indicated in the chosen DMX chart.

DMX SETTINGS => DMX ADDRESS = 001
DMX SETTINGS => DMX PERSONALITY = 3ch (example)

If the second fixture is given the same channel and the same personality, it will behave like the first luminaire; otherwise it is necessary to give it the first free channel as an address and choose how to work it.

DMX SETTINGS => DMX ADDRESS = 004
DMX SETTINGS => DMX PERSONALITY = xxx

HOW TO EMULATE THE PERFORMANCE OF HALOGEN LAMP
To satisfy the most “nostalgic” light designers of halogen light and to approach the natural perception that the human eye has of an LED illuminated object, it is not enough that static light simulates halogen light, but that it is also in its dynamic regulation.

For an LED luminaire to behave like a halogen lamp 3 are the points to consider:

• the dimmer curve must be set as HALO
  OPTIONS →AMBER SHIFT = ON
• the delay should be adjusted to 1000 ms
  OPTIONS →LED DELAY = 1000ms
• the amber shift function must be activated (typical change to which an halogen lamp tends when dimmed decreasing the emission)
  OPTIONS →DIMMING CURVE = HALO
• mandatory:
  DMX PERSONALITY / CCT PRESET = 3200K

HOW TO INCREASE THE LIGHT OUTPUT +20%
All the fixtures are designed to work in a context of balance between luminous efficiency and optimal thermal regime so as not to cause the LED to work under stress. Where available, thanks to the LED BOOST function, the algorithm favors luminous efficiency (+20% in light output) to the detriment of thermal efficiency, giving more current to the LED, but it is exclusively compatible with FAN MODE = AUTO (= the fans are automatically adjusted based on the LED temperature). That means that, even with this function active, the LED TEMPERATURE function regulates the light intensity in case of overtemperature to avoid an early deterioration of the source.

It may happen that you need a light emission of the individual channels higher than the factory settings, without however exceeding the maximum power of the spotlight. When a tint or a CCT value is selected in which not all channels are at full, an algorithm increases the light output to achieve maximum efficiency. A microprocessor monitors the working temperature of the LED and updates the source control parameters in real time.

OPTIONS -> FAN MODE = AUTO
OPTIONS -> LED BOOST = ON

HOW TO SET THE FAN MODE
In order to function properly, the LED requires a cooling system, which can be passive (dissipation of heat by natural convection) or active (forced dissipation of heat using a fan).

FAN MODE:

• AUTO: the fans are automatically adjusted based on the LED temperature.(where variable fan noise is not a critical parameter)
• STANDARD: the fans are always kept at the default value (where a constant background noise is required without varying brightness)
• 11SILENT: the fans are always kept at the minimum value and in case of critical temperatures of the LED it automatically reduces the brightness.

The silent mode function allows to intervene on the speed and therefore on the noise of the fans based on the internal temperatures of work detected by a thermostate.

HOW TO SET THE DISPLAY 

To avoid unwanted light emission of the display you can turn it off.
OPTIONS → DISPLAY = OFF

If the fixture is mounted “upside down” it is also possible to rotate the display to make it easier to read.
OPTIONS → DISPLAY ROTATION = ROTATED

HOW TO REMOVE FLICKERING EFFECT IN CAMERAS
The flickering effect is manifested in the shooting when the emission frequency of the LED conflicts with the camera brush scan and can be solved by acting on the camera parameters or on the fixture parameters.

OPTIONS → OUTPUT FREQUENCY = xxx (find by trial and error – fine adjustment – the value that removes the flicker in the camera)

HOW TO HOW TO CALIBRATE LED COLORS
When using a group of fixtures it may happen that one or more of them, with the same DMX values, has a color component (eg: red) to be corrected to align the tint to the other luminaires. Simply enter the fixture menu and adjust the DMX value until the tint aligns with that of the other luminaires of the group.

LED CALIBRATION → RED CALIBRATION

HOW TO SET THE COLOUR CUSTOM PRESETES
In each color Hyperion series fixture there are two libraries:

• the first factory (STANDARD PRESETS) and
• the second customizable by the operator (CUSTOM PRESETS) which includes a storage phase and a playback. Both of these presets can be recalled by selecting the relevant DMX value or by turning the potentiometer.

There are two ways to customize the CUSTOM PRESET:

with fixture display: 

• SETTINGS –> STAND ALONE –> CUSTOM PRESETS –> CUSTOM PRESET 1
• set the desired color by changing the values of the individual colors by turning the dimmer
• click on the CONFIRM button for the final save
• wait 5 seconds and the 5 flashes confirming that saving has taken place.

with DMX consolle: 

• modify the DMX value of the SERVICE 1 channel until reaching the range of the parameter to be modified (e.g. CUSTOM PRESET 1) and leave the channel on this value
• set the desired tint by acting on the individual color channels
• save the tint by setting the DMX value of the STROBE & STORE channel in the range corresponding to STORE 1
• wait 5 seconds and the 5 flashes confirming that saving has taken place.

HOW TO SET STAND-ALONE AND MASTER-SLAVE FUNCTIONS
May happen the need to control one or more fixtures without using a console. The software allows you to create one or more static colors and define the duration and sequence of each.

• to create a single static tint
  STANDALONE => STANDALONE = MANUAL
• create multiple static colors with customizable duration and sequence
  STANDALONE => STANDALONE = AUTO SCENE

The function can be set on a single fixture or on a group of fixtures. In this second case it is necessary to define the headlight “master” (MASTER, MANUAL or AUTO SCENE) and the headlights “slave” (SLAVE).

To disable these control modes in the absence of consoles simply reconnect the DMX cable and the fixtures will be controllable directly from remote.

• DISABLED: The luminaire is controlled by the DMX input and by the potenziometer.
• STDALONE MANUAL: The luminaire ignores the DMX signal and the potenziometer. The colour can be set from the STANDALONE →MANUAL MODE
• STDALONE AUTO SCENE: The luminaire ignores the DMX signal and the potenziometer and performs the memorised scenes sequence (max 10 scenes) selectable from
  the STANDALONE →AUTO SCENE MODE
• MASTER MANUAL: The luminaire ignores the DMX signal, turns to a fix colour selectable from the STANDALONE →MANUAL MODE
  Being MASTER the luminaire sends via DMX the command to control the SLbAVE luminaires connected in line
• MASTER AUTO SCENE: The luminaire ignores the DMX signal and the potenziometer and performs the memorised scenes sequence (max 10 scenes) selectable from the STANDALONE →AUTO SCENE MODE
  Being MASTER the luminaire sends via DMX the command to control the SLAVE luminaires connected in line
• SLAVE: The luminaire ignores the DMX signal and the potentiometer, and follows the MASTER luminaire via DMX line.
