BOX CONTENTS

• Power Cable (x1)
• Gel Filter (x1)
• Barndoor (x1)
• IP RATING

An IP rated lighting fixture has been designed with an enclosure that effectively protects the ingress (entry) of external foreign objects such as dust and/or water. The Ingress Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as “IP” followed by two numbers (i.e. IP20), where the numbers define the degree of protection. The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the fixture and the second digit (Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the fixture. An IP20 rated lighting fixture, such as this one, has been designed and tested to protect against the ingress of solids as small as the size of an adult finger (approximately 12.5mm), but is NOT protected against liquid intrusion of any kind.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!
CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function, optimized light output, and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics. Clean periodically with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.
NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture. Please refer all service issues to an authorized Elation service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from an authorized Elation dealer.
Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
• Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware, and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments. NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.

• INDOOR USE ONLY! THIS DEVICE IS NOT INTENDED FOR OUTDOOR USAGE, OR EXPOSURE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE! USE OF THIS DEVICE OUTDOORS VOIDS YOUR MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY!
• DO NOT PERFORM THE INSTALLATION YOURSELF IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!

Fixture MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction codes and regulations. Before rigging/mounting a single fixture or multiple fixtures to any metal truss/structure or placing the fixture(s) on any surface, a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/structure or surface is properly certified to safely hold the combined weight of the fixture(s), clamps, cables, and accessories. Maximum fixture ambient operating temperature is 113°F (45°C). Do not operate this fixture when ambient temperature exceeds this rating. Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, knowledge of installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury. Fixture(s) should be installed in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or areas where unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture by hand. NEVER stand directly below the fixture(s) when rigging, removing, or servicing. Overhead fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriately rated safety cable.
Allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before serving.

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)

NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems.
Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for lighting, allowing the DMX systems of the fixtures to be modified and monitored remotely. This protocol is ideal for instances in which a unit is installed in a location that is not easily accessible.
With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM enabled controller to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the fixture to respond (known as a GET command). The controller can then use its SET command to modify settings that would typically have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit’s display screen, including the DMX Address, DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors.

Please be aware that not all RDM devices support all RDM features, and therefore it is important to check beforehand to ensure that the equipment that you are considering includes all of the features that you require.
The following parameters are accessible in RDM on this device:

SYSTEM MENU

The fixture includes an easy to navigate system menu. The control panel display located on the side of the fixture (illustrated below) provides access to the main system menu where all necessary system adjustments are made to the fixture.

• During normal operation, pressing the MODE button once will access the fixture’s main menu.
• Once in the main menu you can navigate through the different functions and access the sub-menus with the DOWN and UP buttons.
• Once you reach a field that requires adjusting, press the ENTER button to activate that field and use the DOWN and UP buttons to adjust the field.
• Pressing the ENTER button once more will confirm the setting.
• Exit the main menu at any time without making any adjustments by pressing the MODE button.

SCREEN LOCK
The screen will lock after a certain period of inactivity. The length of this time period is configurable in the System Menu, under Personality > Display > Display Screen Lock. To unlock the screen, press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds.

WHITE BALANCE
The white balance menu can be accessed by pressing and holding the MODE, DOWN, and UP buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Please note that in this mode, the Color menu will be disabled, and the ColorTemp menu adjusts the color temperature white balance.

CONTROL KNOB
This device features an encoder knob located to the right of the display screen, which is labeled “CTRL.” This encoder knob can be used to manually adjust dimming, CCT green shift, color saturation, or manual control. Twisting the knob will scroll through modes and sub-modes, or adjust the value of the select sub-mode, while pressing the button confirms the selection. Please see the Encoder Knobs section of this manual for detailed information.
