RDM PARAMETER IDs

Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol enhancement to USITT DMX512 that allows bi-directional communication between a lighting or system controller and attached RDM compliant devices over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow configuration, status monitoring, and management of these devices in such a way that does not disturb the normal operation of standard DMX512 devices that do not recognize the RDM protocol.

APPENDIX A

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

TROUBLESHOOTinG
The following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Luminaire does not work; light and fan do not turn on.

• Check power connection and main fuse.
• Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.

Not responding to DMX controller.

• If DMX LED is not illuminated, verify that the DMX cables are properly connected.
• If the DMX LED is illuminated and there is no response, verify DMX address settings and the DMX polarity.
• If you experience intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on the connectors or on the PCB.
• Test with a different DMX controller.
• Check if the DMX cables run near or alongside high voltage cables that may cause interference to the DMX interface circuit.

CLEANING

Cleaning the inside of the luminaire must be carried out periodically in order to optimize the light output.Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates. Damp, smoky or particularly dusty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.

• Clean with a soft cloth using glass cleaning fl uid.
• Dry parts carefully.
• Clean the external optics at least every 30 days.

APPENDIX B

FAN SPEED AND CONTROL

ADDENDUM
FAN SPEED AND CONTROL
All Vari-Lite luminaires will be governed by the same fan speed vs. noise levels. vs. maximum power output rules as detailed below. The noise related to these levels will conform to the Noise Criteria levels, details of which are contained within this document.
There are three control parameters that can be selected separately or in conjunction (when permitted) to manage fan speed vs. noise levels vs. maximum power output.
NOTE: Not all fixtures have all modes or functions. Refer to DMX map and User Interface menu tree to see if your product has one or more of these functions.
Output Modes
These modes are selectable at the fixture’s DMX control channel or via the fixture’s user interface screen.
Boost mode – LED output boosted to >100% of standard output. Fan speeds increased to manage heat level of LED (may be limited to only run for XX hours).
Fixture will not exceed NC45-NC55 sound levels in this mode.
Standard mode – Full LED output. Fan speed is set to cool LED appropriately but not exceed NC40 sound level in this mode.
Studio mode – Fan speed reduced to achieve 10% dB reduction from Standard mode and not exceed NC35 sound level. LED output is approximately 80% of Standard output to ensure LEDs operate at optimum temperature and output efficiency. Fan speed remains constant and does not ramp up or down.
Whisper mode – Fan speed reduced to achieve 30% dB reduction from Standard mode and not exceed NC25 sound level. LED output is approximately 60% of Standard output to ensure LEDs operate at optimum temperature and output efficiency.
Fan speed remains constant and does not ramp up or down.
Silent mode – fans are turned off or turn very slowly to not contribute to fixture noise. LED output is capped to ensure LEDs operate at optimum temperature and output efficiency. Fans are either off or fan speed remains constant. Target NC15 sound level in this mode.
