Operating Instructions

DMX Mode:

In DMX control mode, you have the flexibility to customize or create a show by controlling each individual trait of the fixture and each fixture independently.

Addressing:
Set the DMX address of the fixture using the Addr function. The default address is A001.

Channel Mode:
Select the desired channel mode using the Chnd function. The available options are 3 CH, 6 CH, 13CH, and 38CH. This determines the number of channels used to control the fixture.

Master/Slave Mode:
In Master/Slave mode, you can synchronize multiple fixtures together. Use the SLnd function to set the fixture as either a master or slave.

Sound Mode:
In Sound mode, the fixture reacts to sound or music. Use the Soun function to enable or disable this mode.

Sound Sensitivity:
Adjust the sound sensitivity using the SEnS function. Lower values make the fixture less responsive to sound, while higher values make it more sensitive.

Ring Macros:
In Ring macros mode, you can select predefined patterns for the RGB LED ring. Use the rl0 to rl24 functions to choose from different patterns.

Display Settings:
Adjust the display settings using the dI S p function. You can invert the display, turn it on or off after 30 seconds, and reset to factory defaults.

DMX setup

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.

EQUINOX -EQLED118-Compact-RGBW-LED-Par-7

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

EQUINOX -EQLED118-Compact-RGBW-LED-Par-8

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

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

EQUINOX -EQLED118-Compact-RGBW-LED-Par-9

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)

EQUINOX -EQLED118-Compact-RGBW-LED-Par-10

5-pin XLR DMX connectors :
Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The diagram below details the correct cable conversion.

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 24 fixtures @ 240V or 12 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 Eclipse as the power con-sumption 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.
