Product Usage Instructions

DMX Connections
A system using DMX control must be connected as a chain of devices. The control signal cable should proceed from the controller to the first receiving device and then to others in one continuous chain. The fixture has a DMX IN and a DMX OUT connector to be used to connect the chain. The control cable should NOT be split into a multiple run star arrangement with a cable running from the controller directly to each receiving device pack.

Installation
Location: Locate the unit indoors in a well-ventilated area away from moisture and heat. Keep the vent holes clear. Holes are provided on the brackets to install a lighting bar pipe clamp. Use a safety cable when hanging the fixture.

Power Connections
CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
The FXLD2512B5I6 has a blue turn and lock connector for power input. A compatible power cable is provided for connection to a 120 VAC, 15 Amp, 60Hz, grounded service. Push the blue connector on the cable straight into the blue connector on the unit and twist approx. 1/8 turn clockwise to latch it. The white turn and lock connector on the unit is used to pass power on to another FXLD2512B5I6 unit. A mating white connector is also provided.

DMX Connector Pin Assignments
This unit uses 3 pin XLR type connectors. The FXLD2512B5I6 receives DMX on the 3 pin MALE connector on one side of the unit. On the other side of the unit, the 3 pin FEMALE connector is used to connect to the next DMX device on the control chain.

PIN #	SIGNAL NAME
1	DMX COMMON
2	DMX DATA
3	DMX DATA +

DMX Termination
A DMX chain should be terminated at the last receiving device on the chain. This is done by installing a commonly available 1/4 Watt, 120 Ohm resistor across the DATA – and DATA + wires at the last device. If you have only a few fixtures very close together and a very short run to the controller, then you may be able to operate without the terminator.

Operation
A control panel on the back of the unit is used to set the operating options. It consists of an LED display and four buttons (MENU, UP, DOWN, and ENTER). Push MENU to access the operating options. Push UP or DOWN to cycle through options. When you reach the option you want to set or change, use the ENTER button to select the option to change. Then use the UP and DOWN buttons to modify the values. Push ENTER to save your changes and activate the option. See the MENU NAVIGATION diagram for additional details.

There are 8 operation modes: DMX 5 channel, DMX 9 channel, Color Fade, Color Change, Color Select, Manual Level (5 selections), Demo, and Sound.
Pushing MENU alternates to display 0XXC for current LED plate temperature. The fan turns on at low speed when temperature is at or above 45° C and will turn back off at or below 34° C. The fan shifts to high speed if temperature increases to 55° C and back to low speed once temperature reaches 49° C.

DMX OPERATION

For DMX operation the FXLD2512B5I6 fixture can be configured as a 5 channel or 9 channel unit.
Use the dXXX (5 ch) or AXXX (9 ch) menu to set the starting address of the unit. You can select the starting address of the unit with the UP and DOWN buttons.
The unit has an LED on the menu display (decimal point). If the LED is flashing, the unit is not receiving signal either from a DMX controller or from a master fixture. LED will disappear once DMX is present.
Detailed information on DMX channel operation is given in the tables DMX VALUES AND FUNCTIONS.
