CAUTIONS

• For added protection, mount the fixture in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or in areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture.
• Ambient operating temperature range for this fixture is 5°F to 113°F (-15°C to 45°C). Do not use the fixture under or above this temperature.
• Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the weight of the fixture.
• Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriate safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing.

POWER LINKING
Max number of units that can be power linked is 2 units @120V and 4 units @220V.

CLAMP MOUNTING
The CUEPIX PANEL™ provides an integrated yoke bracket. When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure appropriately rated clamps to the yoke/rigging bracket using an M10 screw fitted through the center hole.

MOUNTING POINTS

• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.
• The fixture is fully operational in the specific mounting positions as illustrated below.

DO NOT attach panels to panels installed with YOKE. (4) Panels MAX per each RIGGING BAR.

SECURING

Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your CUEPIX PANEL™ always be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable. The fixture provides a built- in rigging point for a safety cable on the base of the unit as illustrated below. Be sure to only use this designated rigging point to attach the safety cable.

SAFETY CABLE RIGGING POINTS

SAFETY CABLES

Always use Safety Cables as illustrated below whenever installing this panel(s) in a suspended environment to ensure if rigging hardware fails.

Always attach independent Safety Cables between truss/structure and each individual panel as illustrated above whenever installing this panel(s) in a suspended environment.

NEVER DAISY CHAIN SAFETY CABLES BETWEEN MULTIPLE PANELS

UNDER STANDING DMX

DMX-512

DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. DMX allows all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller. This is possible as long as all the fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. A DMX controller sends the DMX data instructions to the fixture allowing the user to control the different aspects of an intelligent light. DMX data is sent out as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via data “IN” and data “OUT” XLR terminals located on the fixtures (most controllers will only have output jacks).

DMX LINKING

To ensure proper DMX data transmission, always use proper DMX cables and a terminator. When using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. Never split a DMX line with a “Y” style connector. The order in which the fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a starting DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in the DMX chain, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. The DMX controller knows to send data assigned to address 1 to that fixture no matter where it is located in the DMX chain. The CUEPIX PANEL™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol and the DMX address is set via the control menu.

DATA CABLE (DMX Cable) REQUIREMENTS (Fo r DMX and Primary/Secondary Operation)

Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3pin or 5pin XLR connector for data input and data output (see figure below). If you are making your own cables, be sure to use a two-conductor, shielded digital DMX cable rated at 120 ohms; this cable is designed for DMX transmission and may be purchased from your Elation dealer or at most professional lighting retailers. Your cables should be made with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also, remember that a DMX line must be daisy-chained and cannot be split unless using an approved DMX splitter such as Elation’s Opto Branch 4™, Opto Branch 8™, or DMX-Branch/4™.

Note: Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

DMX-512 CONTROLLER CONNECTION

Connect the provided XLR cable to the female XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male XLR input of the CUEPIX PANEL™ The diagram below illustrates a typical DMX-512 connection when the fixture is in the 80 Channel Mode. You can chain multiple panels together through serial linking. The cable that should be used is two conductor, shielded DMX cable with XLR input and output connectors. Always be sure daisy chain your in and out data connections, never split or “Y” your DMX connections unless you are using an approved DMX splitter such as Elation’s Opto Branch 4™, Opto Branch 8™, or DMX-Branch/4™.

DMX-512 CONNECTION WITH DMX TERMINATOR

A DMX terminator should be used in all DMX lines especially in longer runs. The use of a terminator may avoid erratic behavior in your DMX line. A terminator is a 120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor that is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This fixture is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last fixture in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a line terminator will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

Termination reduces signal errors and avoids signal transmission problems and interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-) and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

5pin XLR DMX CONNECTORS

Some manufacturers use 5pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3pin. 5pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5pin XLR connectors in to a 3pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The following chart details a proper cable conversion.

DMX ADDRESSING

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the back of the fixture.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.
In the case of the CUEPIX PANEL™, when in the 80 Channel Mode you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 81 (1 + 80), the third unit to 161 (81 + 80), and so on.

Note: During start-up the CUEPIX PANEL™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data signal is being received or not. If the fixture is not receiving a DMX signal please check the following:

• The 3pin or 5pin XLR input plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected or is not inserted completely into the DMX input jack of the fixture.
• The DMX controller is switched off or defective.
• The DMX cable or connector is defective.
• A DMX terminator has been inserted into the last fixture in your DMX chain.

MENU

ON-BOARD SYSTEM MENU

The CUEPIX PANEL™ comes with an easy to navigate system menu. The next section will detail the functions of each command in the system menu.

LCD MENU CONTROL PANEL

The control panel (see image below) located on the top of the fixture allows you to access the main menu and make all necessary adjustments to the CUEPIX PANEL™. During normal operation, pressing MODE button once will access the fixture’s main menu. Once in the main menu you can navigate through the different functions and access the sub-menus with the UP, and DOWN buttons. Once you reach a field that requires adjusting, press the ENTER button to activate that field and use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the field. Pressing the ENTER button once more will confirm your setting. You may exit the main menu at any time without making any adjustments by pressing the MODE button.
NOTE : the LCD Menu Control Display will shut OFF and lockout after 30 seconds of no use. Press and hold the MODE button for 10 seconds to unlock the LCD display.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Caution: Disconnect power before cleaning or maintenance.

CLEANING
Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function, optimized light output, and extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environments can cause a greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.

• Clean the external lens surface at least every 20 days with a soft cloth to avoid
  dirt/debris accumulation.

• Never use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE
Regular inspections are recommended to insure proper function and extended life. There are no user-serviceable parts inside this fixture, please refer all other service issues to an authorized Elation service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local Elation dealer.
Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed electric check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws may fall out during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
• Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments. Never remove the ground prong from the power cable.
