To install the X5 Compact using the X5 Omega Bracket with Handles:

1. Install two suitable half-coupler type rigging clamps on the Omega Bracket (half-coupler rigging clamps completely encircle the truss chord).
2. Fasten the Omega Bracket to the fixture’s baseplate by inserting the Omega Bracket‘s camlock fasteners into the fastener receptacles in the fixture’s base and turning the fastener handles a full 90° to lock them.
3. Fasten the half-coupler rigging clamps securely around a truss chord.
4. Secure the fixture against clamp failure as described Securing the fixture with a safety cable’ on page 15. Fasten the safety cable to one of the attachment points in the fixture base, not to the Omega Bracket.
5. Make sure that the head will not collide with another fixture or any other object when it moves through its full pan and tilt ranges.

Mounting directly with a rigging clamp
To suspend the impression X5 Compact from a rigging truss or similar structure with the head hanging vertically downwards only using a rigging clamp bolted directly to the fixture:

1. Obtain a suitable half-coupler type rigging clamp. See Figure 6. Pass an M10 grade 8.8 steel bolt through the rigging clamp and check that the bolt will protrude minimum 10 mm / 0.4 in. and maximum 15 mm / 0.59 in. into the base of the fixture when tightened.
2. See Figure 3. Fasten the bolt through the half-coupler clamp and into the M10 threaded hole in the fixture’s baseplate so that the clamp is held securely.
3. Fasten the rigging clamp securely around a rigging truss chord or similar bar.
4. Secure the fixture against clamp failure as described in ‘Securing the fixture with a safety cable’ on page 15.
5. Make sure that the head will not collide with another fixture or any other object when it moves through its full pan and tilt ranges.

Mounting with an omega bracket and rigging clamp
To suspend the impression X5 Compact from a rigging truss or similar structure with the head hanging vertically downwards only using an omega bracket and rigging clamp

1. Obtain a suitable omega bracket with 89 mm center-to-center camlock fasteners and a suitable rigging clamp. Bolt the rigging clamp to the omega bracket using a suitable grade 8.8 minimum steel bolt and self-locking nut.
2. See Figure 3. Line up the two camlock quarter-turn pins in the omega bracket with the camlock fastener points in the base of the fixture and turn both locking levers a full 90° clockwise to lock the brackets to the fixture.

5. Make sure that the head will not collide with another fixture or any other object when it moves through its full pan and tilt ranges.

Connections

Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 4 before connecting the impression X5 Compact to power.

AC power

The impression X5 Compact has a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 socket for connection to AC mains power from a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 female cable connector. The autosensing power supply accepts 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz AC power. Do not connect the fixture to AC power at any other voltage. The AC mains power distribution circuit must include a connection to ground / protective earth. It must be protected against ground / earth leakage and overload.

Do not connect the fixture to a power distribution circuit that is equipped with an external dimmer.

Powering the fixture on

The fixture does not have an ON/OFF switch. It is powered on as soon as power is applied to the power input cable. Before applying power, check that the head is unlocked, check that the head will not collide with anything, and check that nobody will be looking directly at the fixture if it lights up suddenly.

Connecting to power

Although powerCON TRUE1 connectors support hot-plugging, it is still good practice to shut down power to power cables before connecting them to fixtures. To connect the fixture to power:

1. Check that the Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector on the power input cable is in perfect condition, paying attention to the keys on the connector. If the connector or its keys show signs of damage, replace the connector with a new item.
2. Line up the keys in the TRUE1 connector correctly with the keyways in the MAINS IN socket.
3. Insert the connector into the socket. Do not use force. If you feel any more than light resistance when you try to push the connector into the socket, something is wrong. You may have lined up keys and keyways incorrectly. Remove the connector and check the positions of keys and keyways before trying to insert the connector again.
4. Twist the connector fully clockwise to lock. Listen for a ‘click’ that indicates that the connector is locked.
5. Release the tilt lock, check the clearance around the head and make sure that nobody is looking directly at the fixture. Then apply power to the power input cable.

Installing power connectors on the input cable

It is possible to install a cord cap / mains power plug that is suitable for your local convenience receptacles / power sockets on the supplied power input cable. If you do this, check that the cord cap / plug is rated minimum 250 V, 16 A, that it has a connection to ground / earth and that it has an integral cable grip. Follow the cord cap / plug manufacturer’s assembly instructions.

If you need to install a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 connector on a power cable, follow the instructions given on the Neutrik website at www.neutrik.com.

Respect the color coding used in the supplied power cable and in your local mains power wiring system. US and EU systems use the color coding shown below:

| Live or L| Neutral or N| Ground / Earth or
---|---|---|---
US system| Black| White| Green

Control data

The impression X5 Compact can be controlled via USITT512 DMX over a standard DMX cable link, Art-Net network or sACN network (Art-Net and sACN functionality are in preparation and will be included in an upcoming firmware release). The fixture’s Protocol Setup control menu lets you configure the fixture for control using one of these protocols (see the impression X5 Compact User Manual available online at www.glp.de for details).

If you would like advice with planning and installing a suitable control link, your GLP supplier will be happy to provide assistance.

DMX over a standard DMX cable link

The fixture has 5-pin XLR IN and THRU sockets for connection to a DMX cable link. Connectors use standard DMX pinout:

• Pin 1 = Ground
• Pin 2 = Negative / data cold
• Pin 3 = Positive / data hot.
• Pins 4 and 5 are not used.

To link fixtures in cabled DMX daisy-chains using their XLR connectors, use certified DMX cable only.

Art-Net and sACN over a network cable link

Note : Art-Net and sACN functionality are in preparation and will be included in an upcoming firmware release

The fixture has two Ethernet ports for connection to an Art-Net or sACN network. Both ports use GLP’s fail-safe technology which allows data to flow through the fixture even if the fixture is powered off. If the fixture is powered on, the ports behave as a switch. If the fixture is powered off, both EtherCON ports operate simply as IN/THRU ports. To link fixtures in Art-Net daisy-chains, use CAT 6 or higher Ethernet cable.

Using the fixture

For guidance on using the impression X5 Compact, see the latest version of the fixture’s User Manual, available for download from www.glp.de.

Check that the software version given at the front of the user manual matches the software version installed in the fixture.

Service and maintenance

Servicing the fixture can expose the user to safety hazards. Read the Safety Precautions section at the beginning of this manual carefully before carrying out any service or maintenance operation.

Regular maintenance and cleaning is essential to get the best performance and service lifetime from your fixture. Accumulations of dust and dirt will cause loss of performance and overheating that may damage the fixture. Damage caused by lack of maintenance, improper service or improper cleaning is not covered by the product warranty.

The user can upload firmware (device software) via D3Prog, GLP iQ.Service or internal web interface. All other maintenance operations must be carried out by professionals or trained and qualified personnel. Please contact your dealer for this.

Optical and mechanical components are subject to normal wear and tear during the product’s lifetime. This may result in physical wear and gradual changes in optical characteristics such as color. The amount of wear depends strongly on the operating and environmental conditions. It is therefore impossible to give a general indication of when changes may occur and to what extent it may be necessary to replace optical or mechanical components

Cleaning

The buildup of dust, dirt and other airborne particles will reduce the fixture’s light output. It will also prevent the fixture from cooling correctly, and this will reduce the fixture’s lifetime. The rate of dirt buildup will vary depending on environmental factors such as airborne dust, use of smoke machines, airflow from ventilation systems, etc. The fixture’s cooling fans will accelerate buildup, and any smoke particles that are present in the atmosphere will increase the tendency for dirt to clog.

To get the best performance and lifetime from the fixture, inspect it regularly and clean it as soon as you see signs of dirt buildup. Assess the operating environment each time you begin to use the fixture. In dusty or smoky conditions, inspect the fixture after a few hours and check it frequently – the fixture may attract dirt faster than you expect. Draw up a cleaning schedule that will make sure that dirt is removed before it can build up.

Follow these guidelines:

• Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Do not use solvents, abrasives or any other aggressive product to clean the cleaning.
• Use a vacuum cleaner and soft brush to remove dust and loose particles from surfaces and air Prevent the blades of cooling fans from turning before you aim a vacuum at them, or you may spin the fan too fast and damage it.
• Do not let optical components come into contact with oil or grease. Put on clean, dry lint-free gloves before you touch them.
• Clean glass components by wiping gently with alcohol wipes or a soft, clean, lint- free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Put the solution on the cloth, not on the surface to be Avoid rubbing glass surfaces. If particles are stuck to the glass, try to lift them off by dabbing them repeatedly with a cotton swab or moistened lint-free cloth.
• Dry the fixture with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before reapplying power.

Suggested maintenance intervals

We suggest the maintenance schedule below, but bear in mind that cleaning intervals depend on the operating environment. Our suggested cleaning intervals are based on our experience with typical installations – check the fixture to assess the need for cleaning and adjust intervals as necessary.

Main fuse

See Figure 7 on right. The main fuse sits in a fuseholder in the base. If the fixture appears to be completely shut down even though power is applied, the main fuse may have blown. Disconnect the fixture from power before replacing the fuse. You can open the fuseholder with a flat-headed screwdriver. Replace only with a fuse of the same type and rating. If the fuse blows repeatedly, disconnect the fixture from power and contact GLP for service and repair.

Lubrication

The fixture does not normally need lubrication. If any effects or moving parts show signs of rough movement, consult a GLP service partner
