**DESCRIPTION
**
The FXLE1530W is an LED ellipsoidal fixture that is suitable for stage, houses
of worship, entertainment venues and other artistic applications. It has
automatic stand-alone control modes and can operate via an external DMX-512
signal.
A mounting yoke enables the fixture to be installed and operated in various
positions and orientations.
**INSTALLATION
**
LOCATION
Locate the unit indoors in a well-ventilated area away from moisture or
heat. Maintain a minimum spacing of 20″ between the unit and other objects.
The maximum ambient operating temperature is 40ºC (104ºF). Keep the vent holes
clear. Holes are provided on the yoke to install a traditional lighting
C-clamp for mounting on batten pipe. Use a safety cable attached to the safety
eye when hanging the fixture.
YOKE ADJUSTMENT
To slide yoke along track, loosen 4 screws on both side brackets with #2
Phillips screwdriver, adjust yoke and retighten screws once in desired
location.
LENS TUBE ADJUSTMENT
To focus beam, loosen the knobs on the top and bottom of barrel,
extend/retract lens tube as needed and tighten knobs. Support lens tube in
process.
GOBO/FX SLOT ALIGNMENT
To rotate barrel, loosen the two 3mm hex socket head cap screws on both sides
of body behind shutter handles. Loosen both adjustment knobs at top and bottom
of fixture behind the shutter handles. Once the GOBO or FX slot is aligned,
tighten screws and knobs.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The FXLE1530W 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.
DANGER
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
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. Do not power the
unit from a dimmer pack. The white turn and lock connector on the unit is used
to pass power on to another FXLE1530W unit. A mating white connector is also
provided.
Power is applied once the power cord is connected to a live power source.
There is no on/off switch. Connect power cord to fixture first, then outlet.
THE SAFETY GROUND PIN ON THE POWER CORD MUST BE USED.
Connect a maximum of six FXLE1530W fixtures together with power connectors
using 120VAC.
DMX CONNECTIONS
A system using DMX control should be connected as a chain of devices. In
other words, the control signal cable should originate at the controller to
the first receiving device and then to others in one continuous chain. An
optically isolated DMX splitter is recommend when installing the FXLE1530W in
a system with various other DMX devices.
The FXLE1530W has a DMX IN and a DMX OUT connector which are used to connect
the DMX data chain. The control cable can NOT be split into a Y or multiple
run/star arrangement with a cable running directly from the controller to each
receiving device.
DMX CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS
Predominantly, two types of connectors are used forconnecting fixtures and
other DMX devices to a DMX control chain. They are both “XLR type”
connectors.Some units use 3 pin connectors, others use 5 pin connectors. The
FXLE1530W receives a DMX signalon the 3 pin MALE connector on the rear of the
unit.The 3 pin FEMALE connector is used to connect to the next DMX device on
the control chain.
If your console uses a 5 pin XLR connector, an adapter cable can be purchased
or fabricated to accommodate this conversion. The following table shows the
pin assignments for both 3 pin and 5 pin XLR connectors:
| PIN # | SIGNAL NAME |
|---|---|
| 1 | DMX COMMON |
| 2 | DMX DATA – |
| 3 | DMX DATA + |
| 4 | NOT USED |
| 5 | NOT USED |
DMX TERMINATION
It is recommended that a DMX data chain 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 fewfixtures installed very close together and with a shortrun of
DMX cable to the controller, then you may beable to operate without the
terminator.
OPERATION
A display and user interface is located on the back of the unit. This interface is used to set the operating options and settings. It consists of a backlit LCD display and four buttons (MODE, DOWN, UP, and ENTER).
CONTROL PANEL
Push MODE to scroll through the available choices. Push ENTER when you reach
the option you want to check or set. The current setting for the option will
be shown. Push UP and DOWN until you reach the desired setting or menu then
push ENTER to invoke the new setting. Push ENTER to exit from the sub menus.
DMX OPERATION
Use the DMX-Addr menu to set the unit DMX starting address. The range is
001 – 512. A ‘V’ will be displayed if a valid DMX signal is present, an ‘x’
represents that no valid DMX signal is present.
For this fixture to operate in DMX mode, the mode needs to be set for “DMX-
Addr” on LCD display by pressing the MODE button.
The fixture has 2 DMX modes. 1 channel and 2 channel: Channel 2 is not active
in 1 channel mode.
| CHANNEL 1: | Fixture Intensity (000 – 255). |
|---|---|
| CHANNEL 2: | Strobe Control (000 – 127, 128-255) 000 is Strobe OFF, starts slow |
and increases to fastest at 127. From 128255 pattern transitions to short
light
pulses with longer duration between pulses as value rises from 128 to 255.
STAND ALONE MODE
You can operate the unit manually using the RDIMMER & P-STROBE menu. Push the
UP and DOWN buttons to change the level, then push ENTER when done. The range
is 000 – 255 (See above for values).
If connecting multiple FXLE1530W fixtures together in stand-alone mode, set
the DMX address on additional units to d001 to follow the main fixture.
DMX-KEEP: ON/OFF
The DMX-KEEP mode determines the characteristic of the fixture upon the
loss of the DMX input signal. The LED array will either turn on or off based
on the DMXKEEP setting when DMX signal is lost.
BK-LIGHT: ON/OFF
The backlight for the LCD display remains on at all times if this function
is set to ON. When BK-LIGHT is set to OFF, then the backlit display will turn
off 30 seconds after the last button push on the control panel.
NOW TEMP
Provides operating temperature in ºC.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
TROUBLESHOOTING
Fixture will not power up.
- Check that you have power applied to the unit.
- Check the fuse located on the back panel of the fixture.
Unable to control fixture.
- Check that the LCD display currently indicates “DMX-addr”.
- Check the LCD display on the fixture, if there is a ‘V’ after the DMX value, a valid DMX signal is present. If an ‘x’ is showing, then a valid DMX signal is not present.
- Verify the fixture is properly addressed.
- Check the DMX control cable for continuity and polarity.
- Remove the fixture from the DMX chain and all other DMX devices.
- Check the address settings or patch at the controller.
CLEANING
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE HANDLING THE UNIT.
A mild detergent can be used sparingly if needed. Apply to cloth first; do not
apply detergents directly to fixture. Do not use chemicals or solvents when
cleaning the fixture. Ensure the unit is dry before use.
REPAIR
The only user serviceable part is a 5 mm x 20 mm externally accessible fuse on
the rear panel.
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE CHECKING OR REPLACING THE FUSE.
Replace fuse ONLY with a 5.0 Amp, 250VAC, fast acting fuse. Use # 2 Phillips
screwdriver, use caution to not overtighten.
