2. Move the head into the upright position, facing away from the fixture base.
3. Slide the tilt lock button towards the yoke and into the Lock position to engage it.
4. Release the tilt lock by sliding it away from the yoke and into the Unlock position before reapplying power to the fixture.

Installation

Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 5 for important safety information that you must understand before you install or operate the fixture. Install impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixtures only as described in this chapter, or you may create an installation that is unsafe.
It is the installer’s responsibility to provide a stable, secure supporting structure that is suitable for the environment and application and that meets all applicable codes and legal requirements. Note the requirement to secure lighting fixtures with safety cables in temporary installations.

Mounting options
An impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixture may be installed in one of the following ways:

1. Standing horizontally on a horizontal surface.
2. Fastened to a rigging truss or similar structure at any angle using the supplied brackets and two or more rigging clamps (optional accessories).

Securing the fixture with a safety cable
If a fixture can cause injury or damage if it falls you must secure it with at least one secondary attachment such as a safety cable that will hold it if the primary means of attachment fails. The safety cable must be approved for the weight that it secures. In multiple installations, each fixture must have its own safety cable.
To secure an impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixture with a safety cable:

1. Obtain a safety cable that is approved for the weight of the fixture and rigging hardware that it will secure.
2. Loop the cable around a secure anchoring point such as a truss chord or fixed structure so that it will catch the fixture if a rigging clamp fails. Take up as much slack as possible in the safety cable (by looping it more than once around the truss chord, for example).
3. See Figure 1 on page 13. Open one of the retractable safety cable attachment eyelets marked in Figure 1 and fasten the safety cable to it.
4. If there is any danger that the fixture may swing dangerously from the safety cable if a primary attachment fails, open the second retractable safety cable eyelet also marked    in Figure 1 and add a second safety cable as described above, fastening it to this second eyelet.
5. Check that the fixture will now be caught safely by the safety cable if a primary attachment fails.

End-to-end alignment
The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 features alignment pins that let you line up fixtures perfectly end-to-end to create an unbroken line of pixels. To use the alignment pins:

1. See Figure 4. The alignment pin release button is located on the base of the fixture.
2. Slide the release button outwards to move the alignment pins out of the fixture.
3. Engage the pins in the corresponding holes in the right-hand end of the next fixture to line the two fixtures.

Important! The pins are for alignment purposes only, do not apply a load to them.

Standing the fixture on a horizontal surface
To place an impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixture standing horizontally on a stable horizontal surface:

1. Stand the fixture on the small feet in the fixture’s base as shown in Figure 5. Make sure that it is safe and secure, and that it will not present a danger of tripping or falling.
2. If there is any danger of injury or damage if the fixture falls from the surface, secure it with a safety cable as described in ‘Securing the fixture with a safety cable’ on page 15.

Installing on a rigging truss or similar structure
You can suspend an impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixture from a rigging truss or pipe using the two brackets that are supplied with the fixture and rigging clamps that are available from GLP as optional accessories.
If you are going to install the fixture hanging vertically downwards from a horizontal rigging truss or pipe, you can fasten it to the truss using G-clamps. If you are going to install the fixture in any other orientation or if the rigging truss is not horizontal, you must use half-coupler-type clamps that completely surround the truss chord or pipe.
Rigging clamps must be approved for the weight that they will support.

To install the impression X5 IP Bar 1000 on a rigging truss or pipe:

1. Check that the truss or pipe is secure and can safely hold ten times the weight that it will support.
2. See Figure 6. Bolt at least one rigging clamp securely to each of the two rigging brackets A that are supplied with the fixture using high-tensile steel screws or bolts and self-locking nuts with washers passed through the slots B or central hole C in the rigging brackets.
3. Fasten the two brackets A to the bottom of the base using four quarter-turn fasteners B per bracket. Turn each fastener a full 90° to lock it.
4. Hold the fixture up to the truss and use the rigging clamps to fasten the fixture securely onto the truss chord.
5. If there is any risk that the fixture will cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it with a safety cable that is approved for the weight of the fixture, rigging hardware, cables etc. as described in ‘Securing the fixture with a safety cable’ on page 15.

AC mains power

Warning! Read ‘Safety’ starting on page 5 for important safety information that you must understand before you install or operate the fixture.

Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation environment and application (see recommendations in ‘Avoiding damage to the fixture’ on page 11). Cables used for power input and for relaying power to other fixtures must meet the requirements listed under ‘Electrical safety’ on page 6.

Power input cable
The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 is supplied with a power cord (power cable) with a Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 TOP connector for AC mains power input.

Connecting to power
The AC mains power supply must include a connection to ground / protective earth. It must be protected against ground / earth leakage and overload. The fixture’s internal auto-sensing power supply accepts AC power at 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz. Do not connect the fixture to power at any other voltage or to an external dimmer.
The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 does not have a power ON/OFF switch. Power is applied to the fixture as soon as the power cable becomes live.
The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 has a 3-conductor Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 TOP Mains IN power input socket that accepts AC power from a TRUE1 TOP female cable connector. Although 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. If possible, shut down power to the power input cable.
2. Note the position of the keys and keyways on the TRUE1 TOP power cable connector and Mains IN socket and align them with each other carefully. Insert the cable connector into the socket and twist clockwise to lock. Do not use force. If the connector feels excessively stiff, remove it and check that it is lined up correctly.
3. Before applying power to the power cable, check that nobody is looking directly into the front of the fixture and check that there is no risk of collision if the head tilts without warning.

To disconnect the fixture from power, pull the latch on the cable connector outwards to release it, then twist the connector counterclockwise and pull to remove it from the socket.

Installing power connectors
If you need to replace the cord cap / power plug on the supplied power cord / power input cable, 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 TOP connector on a power cable, follow the instructions given in the Support area of 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:

Connecting multiple fixtures to power in a chain
You can connect fixtures to power in a daisy-chain to simplify your power circuit layout.

Warning! Do not connect more than two (2) impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixtures in total to power in one chain at 100-120 V, 60 Hz. Do not connect more than four (4) impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixtures in total to power in one chain at 200-240 V, 50 Hz.
The power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 16 A maximum. Add together the maximum current draw ratings of all the devices that you intend to connect to power in a daisy chain and do not create a chain with a total maximum current draw of more than 16 A, or you will create a risk of fire and electric shock.

To connect fixtures to power in a chain:

1. Obtain power relay cables that have male and female Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 TOP connectors. Cables must be minimum 14 AWG or 1.5mm2, rated minimum 16 A and suitable for the environment and application.
2. Connect the power input cable to the Mains IN socket of the first fixture.
3. If you are operating the fixture on 100-120 V, 60 Hz AC mains power, you can connect maximum one fixture to the mains THRU socket (giving a maximum of 2 fixtures total connected together in a chain) using a power relay cable. Do not connect any devices to the Mains THRU socket of the second fixture. If you are operating the fixture on 200-240 V, 50 Hz AC mains power, you can connect maximum three fixtures to the mains THRU socket (giving a maximum of 4 fixtures total connected together in a chain) using power relay cables. Do not connect any devices to the Mains THRU socket of the fourth fixture.

Connecting to DMX data

Check that all cables and connectors are suitable for the installation environment and application (see recommendations in ‘Avoiding damage to the fixture’ on page 11). The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 supports the USITT DMX 512A control data signal protocol. Additional control protocol options are in preparation for a future firmware release. The fixture also supports RDM (ANSI E1.20 Remote Device Management) over the DMX link.
The X5 IP Bar 1000 has two 5-pin XLR connectors for IN and THRU connections on a DMX data link using standard DMX protocol. We recommend the use of digital 110 Ohm DMX cable with original Neutrik 5-pin TOP-type XLR connectors.
If you would like advice with planning and installing a DMX link, your GLP supplier will be happy to provide assistance.

Starting and stopping operation

Warning! Before you apply power to the impression X5 IP Bar 1000 or operate it after a blackout, make sure that nobody is looking directly into the front of the fixture and that there is sufficient clearance for the head to tilt safely.

The fixture’s TRUE1 TOP mains power input connector supports hot-plugging, and connecting and disconnecting a live power cable is an option, especially if you need to shut down power urgently, but it is still good practice to shut down power to the AC mains power circuit before connecting and disconnecting power cables.
To start operation, check that nobody is looking into the front of the fixture and that there is no risk of collision of the head tilts without warning, then apply power to the AC mains power circuit.
To stop operation, shut down power to the AC mains power circuit.

Transportation and storage
We strongly recommend that you transport the fixture either in a flightcase or in its original packaging to protect it from damage during transportation. The product warranty does not cover damage caused by abnormal shocks during transportation and handling.
When the fixture is not installed, disconnect it from power and store it in a dry location.

Service

Warning! There are no user-serviceable parts inside the fixture. Any service operation that requires removal of a cover must be performed by a professional service technician with the tools, skills, and personal protective equipment to maintain high-powered lighting equipment safely and efficiently.

Installing optical accessories
The impression X5 IP Bar 1000 has channels in the front of the head for the installation of optical accessories. Impression X5 IP Bar 1000 accessories such as a soft diffuser and an asymmetrical beam shaper are available from GLP.
To install a filter:

1. Place the fixture on a work surface with the head upright.
2. See Figure 7. Lift up the two quick-release clips (arrowed) on both sides of one end of the head and slide the accessory into the channels in the head.
3. Release the clips and check that the locking mechanism holds the filter securely and that the accessory cannot slide out of the channels.
4. To remove an accessory, lift up the quick-release clips and slide the accessory out of the channels in the head. Release the clips.

Cleaning
impression X5 IP Bar 1000 fixtures require occasional cleaning to prevent the buildup of dust, dirt, and residue from atmospheric effects. Failure to keep the fixture clean will significantly reduce light output and may cause heat buildup and damage that is not covered by the product warranty. Regular cleaning will ensure maximum performance and reliable operation.
The cleaning schedule depends on the operating environment. Check fixtures regularly for signs of dirt buildup.
You can clean the fixture using a soft cloth slightly dampened with a household or automotive glass cleaning product. Do not apply pressure to the clear front or display on the back of the fixture, as you may scratch these surfaces.
