Wireless operation

To operate the fixture wirelessly you will need to plug in the Artisan Series W-DMX Compatible Transceiver (sold separately) into the USB port on the rear of the fixture. W-DMX should also be set to “ON” in the fixtures settings (full instructions can be found on page 9). If using it in wireless DMX mode a compatible wireless DMX Transmitter (e.g. Wireless Solutions Sweden W-DMX Micro F-1 Lite G5 Transceiver) will need to be connected. The Artisan Series W-DMX Compatible Transceiver features 2 operating protocols as listed below. The LED on the side of the dongle will illuminate a different colour for each operating protocol. W-DMX G3 Transmit Protocol – Blue (when transmitting) W-DMX Receive Protocol – Green (when receiving) To set the dongle in one of these modes plug the Artisan Series W-DMX Compatible Transceiver into the USB port on the rear of the fixture. Hold down the button on the dongle whilst powering on the unit. The LED will illuminate white for a brief moment and then change colour. You can then press the button which will scroll through the operating protocols. Once you have selected the chosen protocol, press and hold the button on the dongle for 3 seconds. The LED will illuminate white, then turn blue (transmit mode) or stay white (receive mode). The unit is now set in your chosen protocol.

W-DMX Receive Protocol

Once in this protocol the LED will illuminate white. This indicates a connection has not yet been established with the transmitter. Once the transmitter has been set up press the button on the transmitter fixtures dongle once or press the pair button on your wireless transceiver. The LED on the receiving units will flash green quickly, this indicates it is attempting to pair with the transmitter. Once pairing is complete the LED will illuminate static green to indicate the fixture is receiving signal. To disconnect the transmitting fixture from all receiving fixtures within range when connected, hold the button on the transmitting fixtures dongle down for 3 seconds until the LED illuminates white. This indicates the wireless memory has been cleared. If the indicator on the receiving units flashes red quickly this indicates that the signal from the transmitting fixture has been lost.

Setting the DMX address

The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture requires a “start address” from 1- 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.

DMX 512

DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).

DMX linking

DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit,no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation)

This fixture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the unit. Your unit requires either a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for data input/output, see images below.

Further DMX cables can be purchased from all good sound and lighting suppliers or Prolight Concepts dealers. Please quote

3-Pin: CABL10 – 2m CABL11 – 5m CABL12 – 10m

5-Pin: CABL185 – 2m CABL187 – 5m CABL188 – 10m

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split

DMX setup

Notice:

Be sure to follow the diagrams below when making your own cables. Do not connect the cables shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLRs outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.

Pin Configuration

3-Pin

| 5-Pin

Pin 1 – Ground

Pin 2 – Negative

Pin 3 – Positive

–

| Pin 4 – N/C
–|

Pin 5 – N/C

Line termination

When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behaviour.

Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of erratic behaviour. (3-pin – Order ref: CABL90, 5-pin – Order ref: CABL89)

Termination reduces signal transmission problems and interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4W) between pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.

Multiple fixture power linking

Power linking

This fixture provides power linking via the power output on the rear allowing multiple units to be connected together. The maximum number of fixtures that can be connected is 10 fixtures @ 240V or 5 fixtures @ 120V (including the first fixture). After the maximum number of fixtures are connected a new power run will need to be started. Please note: Caution should be used when power linking other fixtures to the Artisan 1200 RGBAL Profile as the power consumption of other fixtures will vary. Fixtures fitted with lamps often require 2/3 times more current on startup, these may require their own power source
