SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This fixture is a sophisticated piece of electronic equipment. To guarantee a smooth opera-tion, it is important to follow all instructions and guidelines in this manual. Elation Profes-sional is not responsible for injuries and/or damages resulting from the misuse of this fixture due to the disregard of the information printed in this manual. Only qualified and/or certified personnel should perform installation of this fixture and only the original rigging parts in-cluded with this fixture should be used for installation. Any modifications to the fixture and/or the included mounting hardware will void the original manufacturer’s warranty and in-crease the risk of damage and/or personal injury.

• DO NOT TOUCH the fixture housing during operation. Turn OFF the power and allow ap-proximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before servicing.
• DO NOT shake fixture, and avoid using brute force when installing and/or operating the fixture.
• DO NOT operate the fixture if the power cord is frayed, crimped, damaged, and/or if any of the power cord connectors are damaged and do not plug into the fixture securely with ease.
• NEVER force a power cord connector into the fixture. If the power cord or any of its con-nectors are damaged, replace it immediately with a new one of the same power rating.
• DO NOT block any air ventilation slots.
• All fan and air inlets must remain clean and never blocked.
• Leave approx. 6” (15cm) between the fixture and other devices or a wall in order to allow for proper cooling.
• Always disconnect the fixture from the main power source before performing any type of service and/or cleaning procedure.
• Only handle the power cord by the plug end. Never pull out the plug by tugging on the wire portion of the cord.
• During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the inte-rior of the fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the casing burning off from the heat associated with the lamp. This will decrease gradually over time.
• Consistent operational breaks will ensure fixture will function properly for many years.
• ONLY use the original packaging and materials to transport the fixture for service.

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. Periodically clean the external lens surface with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation. NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

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

• A detailed electric 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.

FIXTURE DISASSEMBLY
The following points should be observed after performing any maintenance procedure that requires disassembly of the unit:

• After the unit has been reassembled, open the valve and allow the unit to run for approxi-mately 2 hours in order to dry out any moisture that has been trapped inside the fixture. The process should continue until indicated humidity drops below 15% for the head and 30% for the base.
• Once this has been achieved, the light can be switched off, but the unit should remain connected to power so that the cooling fan can cool down the unit. Please note that al-lowing cool down time should ALWAYS be done after lamp operation.
• Some units may require partial disassembly in order to gain access to the valve. Please contact Elation service for information regarding the location and access procedure for the valve on your specific unit model.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Installing the battery in the incorrect orientation will lead to internal electron-ics and battery damage. A qualified electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or installations.

Follow the directions below to replace the battery:

1. Loosen the screw cap for the battery compartment, as shown below to the left.
2. Remove old battery and replace. Make sure the battery is oriented with the negative “-” terminal towards the inside and the positive “+” terminal towards the outside. Refer to the illustration below to the right.
3. Replace and tighten screw cap to secure the battery in place.

Then, insert the Omega Brackets into the outer mounting holes on the underside of the fixture (see lower illustation). Secure the Omega Brackets to the fix-ture by turning each quick-lock fastener ¼ turn clockwise. Always check to make sure that each fastener is completely locked.

SAFETY CABLE: ALWAYS ATTACH A SAFETY CABLE WHENEVER INSTALLING THIS FIXTURE IN A SUSPENDED ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE FIXTURE WILL NOT FALL IF THE CLAMP FAILS. ONLY USE DESIGNATED RIGGING POINTS FOR SAFETY CABLE, AND NEVER ATTACH A SAFELY CABLE TO A CARRYING HANDLE.

CLAMP INSTALLATION
Alternately, the fixture can be mounted to a truss using mounting clamps secured directly to the fixture itself. Insert one minimum grade 8.8 steel M12x25mm bolts (not included) into the mounting hole of each mounting clamp. Please note that TWO (2) MOUNTING CLAMPS are required to support the fixture safely and securely. Thread each bolt into the match-ing 12M holes on the underside of the fixture, as shown in the illustration below. Both bolt must be threaded to a depth of at least 18mm (0.7in) into the fixture base.

SAFETY CABLE: ALWAYS ATTACH A SAFETY CABLE WHENEVER INSTALLING THIS FIXTURE IN A SUSPENDED ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE THAT THE FIXTURE WILL NOT FALL IF THE CLAMP FAILS. ONLY USE DESIGNATED RIGGING POINTS FOR SAFETY CABLE, AND NEVER ATTACH A SAFELY CABLE TO A CARRY-ING HANDLE.

RIGGING
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture, among other skills. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury. The fixture is fully operational in the following positions: hanging from a horizontal truss, suspended sideways from a vertical truss, or standing upright on a flat, level surface. See the illustration below for reference.

ART-NET AND sACN CONNECTION
When connecting the fixture to a network switch to control multiple devices, a Gigabit Ethernet Switch that supports IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is required. Using a Gigabit Ethernet Switch that does not support IGMP can cause erratic behavior of all connected devices to the switch. Visit the link below for more information about IGMP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Group_Management_Protocol

POWER AND DATA CABLES
TO MAINTAIN THE IP65 RATING INTEGRITY OF THE FIXTURE, ALL CABLES MUST BE RUN TOWARDS THE GROUND IN ORDER TO PREVENT WATER ACCUMULATION AROUND THE CONNECTIONS.

• RJ45 DATA CABLES
  THE INCLUDED RJ45 DATA CABLE IS FOR FIXTURE TO FIXTURE INTERCONNECTIONS ONLY! THE RJ45 CABLE CONNECTORS MAY NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH OTHER RJ45 OR ETHERNET TYPE CONNECTORS.
• POWER AND DATA CONNECTIONS
  • ENSURE ALL CONNECTIONS AND END CAPS ARE PROPERLY SEALED WITH A DIELECTRIC GREASE (AVAILABLE AT MOST ELECTRICAL SUPPLIERS) IN ORDER TO PREVENT WATER CORROSION AND/OR ELECTRICAL SHORT CIRCUIT.
  • TO MAINTAIN IP65 RATING INTEGRITY AND PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING THE FIXTURE, SEAL ALL UNUSED CONNECTION RUBBER CAPS.

POTENTIAL INTERNAL FIXTURE DAMAGE FROM EXTERNAL SOURCES OF LIGHT BEAMS
External sources of light beams from direct sunlight, lighting and moving head fixtures, and lasers, which are focused directly towards the exterior housing and/or penetrate the front lens opening of Elation lighting fixtures, can cause severe internal damage including burning of optics, dichroic color filters, glass and metal gobos, prisms, animation wheels, frost filters, iris, shutters, motors, belts, wiring, discharge lamps, and LEDs.
This issue is not specific only to Elation lighting fixtures, but rather it is a common issue with lighting fixtures from all manufacturers. Although there is no true way to fully prevent this issue from happening, the guidelines below can reduce the risk of potential damage. Contact Elation Service for more details.

DO NOT EXPOSE THE FIXTURE AND/OR FRONT LENS OPENING TO LIGHT BEAMS FROM DIRECT SUNLIGHT, OTHER LIGHTING OR MOVING HEAD FIXTURES, AND LASERS DURING UNPACKING, INSTALLATION, USE, AND EXTENDED IDLE TIMES OUTDOORS. DO NOT FOCUS A LIGHT BEAM FROM ONE LIGHTING FIXTURE DIRECTLY TOWARDS ANOTHER.

SUN PROTECTION MODE
This fixture incorporates an automatic protection from harmful sun rays, which can damage the fixture’s internal components as a result of extended exposure. The fixture uses an inter-nal sensor to determine physical orientation, then point the fixture towards the ground to prevent sunlight from entering the lens. Please note that this feature only works when the fixture is powered on. When performing installation or maintenance with the fixture powered off, it is important to always move the lenses out of direct sunlight and/or point them manually to the ground. Even a few minutes of sunlight exposure can cause damage to components inside the fixture. The Sun Protection setting is part of the “No DMX Status” menu, and can be accessed by navi-gating to PERSONALITY > STATUS SETTINGS > NO DMX STATUS > SUN PROTECTION. A quick reference is provided in the table below. Refer to the System Menu section of this manual for detailed information.

The sun protection position is activated under the following conditions:

• Power on without DMX signal: The fixture always starts in sun protection mode.
• No DMX Status set to “Sun Protection” option: The fixture enters sun protection mode after approximately 3 minutes.
• Remote DMX control: The sun protection position can be temporarily activated from the lighting console without the need to create a custom position preset. The ability to cor-rectly orient the lens towards the ground is built into the fixture. Note that this also means some fixtures hanging straight down may not move their heads. Hold “Sun Protect Position” for 3s to set the fixture to the sun protection position.

The display screen should display the phrase “Sun Protection: Active” to confirm that this feature has been activated.
The sun protection position is deactivated under the following conditions:

• DMX signal is connected.
• Remote DMX control: Hold “Sun Protection Off” for 3s.

The sun protection position always uses a 5 second fade time when it is activated or deacti-vated to avoid harsh movements of the fixture.

HIBERNATION MODE
This mode disables motors and most electronics in order to reduce wear on the fixture’s inter-nal components. The user has the ability the define the period of time that the fixture can remain inactive before it enters hibernation mode. This feature can be accessed by navigating in the main menu to PERSONALITY > STATUS SETTINGS > HIBERNATION (see the System Menu section of this manual for detailed information). The default setting for hibernation delay time is 15 minutes, but it can be adjusted from 1 min to 99 min, or switched off completely.
Hibernation mode is activated under the following conditions:

• Loss of DMX signal: the fixture enters hibernation after the timeout expires. Default is 15 minutes.
• Remote DMX control: Press and hold “Hibernate Fixture” for 3s.

Hibernation mode is deactivated under the following conditions:

• DMX signal is connected.
• Remote DMX control: Hold “Hibernate Off” for 3s.

The fixture will perform a full calibration cycle, then assume the current DMX status. Please note that the Hibernation does not change the PT position of the fixtures. This allows the user to set the desired position and then issue the Hibernate command. To ensure the fixture is protected from harmful sunrays, it is recommended to either leave the “No DMX Status” in “Sun Protection” mode (so that the fixture is already in the correct posi-tion after 3 minutes of DMX loss) or set the fixture to a safe Pan Tilt position manually prior to putting the fixture in hibernation mode. Burn and heat damage to the fixture’s interior components due to external light sources (sun or other fixtures shining into the lens) is never covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

TORQUE SETTINGS FOR SCREWS

PANEL SCREWS MUST BE TIGHTENED WITH A TORQUE WRENCH. REFER TO THE TABLE AND DIAGRAM BELOW FOR PROPER TORQUE SETTINGS.

CAUTION! DO NOT OVER TORQUE SCREWS AS THIS CAN CAUSE LEAKAGE ISSUES! TO CONFIRM THE IP65 INTEGRITY AFTER A LAMP REPLACEMENT, TEST THE FIXTURE USING THE IP TESTER. CONTACT ELATION SERVICE FOR MORE DETAILS.
CAUTION! THE USE OF PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND SAFETY GOGGLES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED WHILE PERFORMING THE IP PRESSURE TEST! AVOID PLACING YOUR FACE, EYES, HANDS, ETC IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FIXTURE’S LENS WHILE PERFORMING THE TEST!

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)

NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used through-out 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 stan-dard for lighting, allowing the DMX systems of the fixtures to be modified and monitored remotely. This proto-col 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 con-troller 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.

FIXTURE RDM INFORMATION:

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

• Sensor Definition
• Sensor Value
• Device Model Description

This allows the user to configure the device’s channel mode, DMX address, or any other screen-accessible features without needing to power on the device or even connect it to a power source. To activate the display on battery power, press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds.

SYSTEM MENU

RECORD CONTROLLER

The fixture features an integrated DMX recorder that can be used to transmit the programmed scenes from your DMX controller to the moving head. Adjust the desired scene numbers via the encoder (from – to). When you call up the scenes with your controller, they will automatically be transmitted to the moving head.

WORKING WITH BUILT-IN PROGRAMS
A Primary unit can send up to 3 different data groups to the Secondary units. In other words, a Primary unit can operate up to 3 different Secondary units, with each Secondary unit operating a different set of programs. The Primary unit sends the 3 program parts in a continuous loop.

The Secondary unit receives data from the Primary unit according to the group that the Secondary unit was assigned to. For example, suppose we have a unit that has been assigned as a “Secondary 1” unit. Upon receiving the 3-part Auto Program from the Primary unit, the Secondary 1 unit will implement Part 1 of the Auto Program, while ignoring Part 2 and Part 3.
To start running an Auto Program, follow the directions below:

1. Set the Secondary unit(s) to the desired Secondary group. In the main menu of any unit that you want to set as a Secondary, navigate to Function > Secondary Mode. Select “Secondary 1”, “Secondary 2”, or “Secondary 3” to designate the desired Secondary group. Press ENTER to confirm, and press MODE/ESC to return to the main menu,
2. Set the Primary unit. In the Main Menu of the unit you want to set as the Primary, navi-gate to Function > Auto Program. Select “Primary” and press ENTER to confirm. Then press MODE/ESC to return to the main menu.
3. Program selection for each part of the Auto Program. In the main menu of the Primary unit, navigate to Edit Program > Select Programs. Select “Auto Pro Part 1”, then select which program (1 – 10) to set as Part 1. Press ENTER to confirm. Repeat the process for “Auto Pro Part 2” and “Auto Pro Part 3”.
4. Program selection for edit program. In the main menu of the Primary unit, navigate to Edit Program > Edit Program, then press ENTER. Select the desired program to edit spe-cific scenes into a specific program, then press ENTER to confirm.
5. Automatic Scene Recording. In the main menu of the Primary unit, navigate to Edit Pro-gram > Edit Scenes, then press ENTER. Select the desired scene numbers, noting that a maximum of 250 scenes can be programmed. Press ENTER to confirm.

EXAMPLE: WORKING WITH BUILT-IN PROGRAMS

• Program 2 includes scenes: 10, 11, 12, & 13
• Program 4 includes scenes: 8, 9, & 10
• Program 6 includes scenes: 12, 13, 14, & 15
• Auto Pro Part 1 is Program 2
• Auto Pro Part 2 is Program 3
• Auto Pro Part 3 is Program 6

The 3 Secondary groups run the Auto Program in certain time segments, as illustrated in th diagram below.

FAN CONTROL AND LOW NOISE OPERATION

The Proteus Rayzor 1960 is a high-performance fixture suited for multiple applications. For noise critical environments such as Theater, Opera, or Orchestral Halls, it offers various fan operation modes which remove unwanted noise distractions for the audience and performers. Fan Modes can be changed remotely via the DMX control channel, allowing the fixture to offer high output or whisper-silent operation at a moment’s notice. All Fan Modes smoothly transi-tion over a brief period, preventing unwanted attraction to the fixture.

Auto (Default) – Fans only run at the speeds needed to keep the LED engine within a safe temperature range, and ensures optimal performance of the fixture. They will turn off if pos-sible; for example, when the fixture is dimmed to a low intensity. Fans sense the ambient and fixture temperature and will, at all times, try to keep noise levels at a minimum. The fixture output will only be reduced when the LED engine cannot be cooled to its safe operating range due to a high ambient temperature.
NOTE: This mode is recommended for daily operation.
Silent – Fan speeds are reduced throughout the fixture for a lower noise profile. The fixture output is also reduced to approximately 80%. This mode should be sufficient for most uses where lower noise is required.
High – Fan speeds are increased throughout the fixture for the most efficient cooling. This mode will increase wear on the fans and should only be utilized in exceptional circumstances. Fans will always run, even if the fixture is dimmed. Fixture output is kept at 100% unless the LED engine temperature reaches an unsafe temperature, at which point the fixture will re-duce power carefully to ensure continued safe operation. This mode is only required in very high ambient temperatures when automatic fan speed adjustments are not desired.

Low Noise Modes
For very critical noise environments, the fixture offers two additional Low Noise Modes for silent operation. The fixture output will be reduced, yet due to the extremely high luminous flux, the fixture still offers outstanding performance. In Low Noise Modes, all parameters of the fixture operate more quietly with reduced fan speeds.

• Studio – Almost all fixture fans are turned off, and only run when absolutely necessary. The fixture LED power output is reduced to 50%.
• Mute – All but one fixture fan is turned off for whisper-quiet operation. The fixture LED power output is reduced to 25%.

LIGHTING CONSOLE PATCHING GUIDELINES

The PROTEUS RAYZOR 1960 is a versatile luminaire which combines two fixtures into one housing, allowing it to produce multiple unique lighting effects typically not found in a single lighting fixture. The DMX layout is designed to offer a variety of options for controlling each fixture efficiently. The main fixture contains 19 x 60W RGBW pixel cells, while the SparkLED fixture contains 76 x 2W white LEDs. For ease of use the DMX layout is arranged to allow lighting consoles to separate the fixture into multiple segments or parts. It is especially important to arrange the fixture in such segments or parts when using the fixture in the full extended 176 channel DMX mode. For simpler programming, reduced DMX channel modes can be used. However, for easy recall of interesting pixel animations, both the RGBW and SparkLED fixtures contain two FX systems: one which controls the RGBW cells, and a second that is dedicated to the Spark LEDs.
The pixels are arranged in a grid pattern as illustrated below. (RGBW 1-19 | SparkLED 1-76).

LIGHTING CONSOLE PATCHING GUIDELINES

There are also two additional parts for a primary control of the PROTEUS RAYZOR 1960, which creates four separate control areas for the fixture. It is recommended to create fixture groups on the lighting controller for each area of the fixture. (see below)

SparkLED is not available as a mode in the fixture menu but must be provided as a console control profile for easy programming of the fixture. Use the PROTEUS RAYZOR 1960 in Extended mode and patch appropriate parts of the RGBW Pixels and SparkLED fixtures on your control system to access all 176 channels.
On the lighting controller, patch the two fixture types (RGBW and SparkLED), separating the SparkLEDs into a different ID range. (see below)
RGBW Pixels for Channels 1-98
SparkLEDs for Channels 99-176

DMX TRAITS

FX GENER ATOR GUIDELINES

Selection and control of the integrated FX on the Proteus RAyzor 1960 is found in the Main Fixture section. All FX are available, even in the DMX control modes with the lowest channel count. For your convenience, these functions are summarized below. Please refer to the DMX Traits section of this manual for detailed information.

FX for RGBW and Spark LED contain a selection channel to recall the desired pattern. The pattern direction and speed is then adjusted using the associated Speed channels. FX can run in forward or reverse, and can also be frozen at any time by using “Stop”. The FX tables show the available patterns which are grouped for easier browsing. The first 10 DMX steps of the FX channel are used to change the type of curve for smooth or stepped FX. Once a curve is selected, it will be used for all FX recalled afterwards. When programming cues for fixtures, the user must make sure to change the curve first before selecting the pattern. The fixture defaults to the Sinewave pattern after every power cycle. See the Waveforms section of this manual for the available waveforms.

PRIMARY-SECONDARY SET UP

This function allows you to link units together to run in a Primary-Secondary set-up, in which one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling unit’s built-in programs. Any unit can be configured to act as a Primary or as a Secondary, but only one unit in a given system can be programmed to act as the Primary.

PRIMARY-SECONDARY CONNECTIONS AND SETTINGS:

1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connectors on the rear panels of each unit. Use standard XLR data cables to link your units together. Remember that the male XLR connector is the input and the female XLR connector is the ouput. The first unit in the chain (primary) will use the female XLR connector only, while the last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only.

ERROR CODES

When the unit is powered on, it will automatically enter a “Reset/Test” mode, which brings all the internal motors to a home position. If an internal problem with one or more of the motors is detected, an error code will flash in the display in the form of “XXer” where XX will represent a code associated with the detected error. These codes are listed in the table below. For example, when the display shows “PAN Er” it means there is some type of error with the Pan motor. If there are multiple errors during the start-up process, they will all flash in the display. For example: if the fixtures has errors related to pan, tilt, and zoom all at the same time, you will see the error message “PAN Er”, “TILT Er”, and “Zoom Er” flash and repeat 5 times. If an error is detected during the initial start-up procedure, the fixture will self-generate a second reset signal and try to realign all the motors and correct the errors. If the error persists after a second attempt, a third attempt will be made. If after a third attempt all the errors have not been corrected the fixture will make the following determinations:

• 3 or More Errors: The fixture cannot function properly with three or more errors, and therefore the fixture will place itself in stand-by mode until subsequent repairs can be made.
• Less Than 3 Errors: The fixture has less than 3 errors. Most other functions will work properly. The fixture will attempt to operate normally until the errors can be corrected by a technician. The errors in question will remain flashing in the display as a reminder of internal errors.
