INTRODUCTION Please read and understand the instructions in this manual carefully and thoroughly before attempting to operate this device. These instructions contain important safety and use information.
IP65 RATED An IP rated lighting fixture is one, which is commonly installed in outdoor environments and has been designed with an enclosure that effectively protects the ingress (entry) of external foreign objects such as dust and water. The International Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as “IP” (Ingress Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65) where the numbers define the degree of protection. The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the fixture and the second digit (Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the fixture. An IP65 rated lighting fixture is one, which has been designed and tested to protect against the ingress of dust (6) and low-pressure water jets from any direction (5).
MARINE COASTAL ENVIRONMENT INSTALLATIONS Please note that although this fixture is IP rated, the fixture is not suitable for marine/or coastal environment installations. Installing this fixture in a marine and/or coastal environment may cause corrosion and/or excessive wear to the interior and/or exterior components of the fixture.

The International Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as “IP” (Ingress Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65), where the numbers define the degree of protection. The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the fixture, and the second digit (Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the fixture. An IP65 rated lighting fixture is designed and tested to protect against the ingress of dust (6), and low-pressure water jets from any direction (5).
Maritime/Coastal Environment Installations: A coastal environment is seaside adjacent, and caustic to electronics through exposure to atomized salt-water and humidity, whereas maritime is anywhere within 5-miles of a coastal environment.
Maritime installations require additional preparation, and additional service intervals may be needed given the maritime use. In general, IP ratings presuppose freshwater conditions VS maritime conditions, which are typically more “caustic” to IP fixtures (both internally and externally). A duty-cycle may also be needed when units are not in use. During times of high humidity and colder temperatures, condensation may occur internally so the fixture may require a duty-cycle to bring it up to running temperature, allowing any accumulation of moisture to be expelled via the vent valve. Recommendations can change based on installation environmental circumstances.
NOTE: NOT ALL FEATURES LISTED ARE AVAILABLE ON ALL FIXTURES; THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MAY NOT APPLY. CONTACT SUPPORT FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
Exterior Maintenance: Inspect the exterior every 30-days. The unit must be powered off/disconnected. The chassis should be inspected for any signs of contaminants. Inspect optics to determine if the lens is obstructed, then clean optics and chassis accordingly. Based on initial finding, schedule maintenance accordingly, keeping in mind that exterior maintenance will be required. Even if the luminaires are NOT in use, maintenance will still be needed given its location (exterior use). The use of a durable type of wax on the chassis is recommended since it will help prevent contaminant build up. Inspect both power and data lines for any signs of contaminants or corrosion. Periodically reapplying di-electric grease, especially in coastal environments. If any signs of corrosion/contaminants are present, clean thoroughly, and/or replace connectors, then reapply di-electric grease. Typically, this should be done annually, or any time an opportunity presents itself. As a preventive measure, annual replacement of both vent valves is recommended. The vent valve membrane can become contaminated and/or clogged causing improper venting of humidity within the luminaire. Inspect all mounting hardware as a precaution.
Interior Maintenance: Inspect the interior every 30-days. The unit must be powered off/disconnected. · Inspect zoom/focus mechanism, clean optics, lubricate linear bearings (Krytox oil) as needed, inspect
belts for wear · Inspect all rotating effect wheels, manually rotate them, note any resistance · Inspect all remaining rotating belts for any wear · Inspect all fans, clean as needed, check rotation, check connections · Inspect CMY module, manually move flags and check for signs of resistance, and if needed, clean
guide rods first, then reapply a thin layer of grease (moly lube) · Clean interior with low-volume compressed air, then clean optics prior to reassembly of head covers
Although the base has limited moving parts, the pan belt should also be inspected for wear. Remember to always perform an IP test anytime a cover is removed.
There is no specific time frame regarding the routine replacement of parts such as belts/stepper motors, PCBs, or LEDs. These items should only be replaced on an as needed bases, except for cooling fans, which should be replaced once the luminaries reach 10,000-hours. This is a prophylactic measure intended to keep the unit running as cool as possible, insuring proper function of all internal components. A complete service breakdown is available, please contact service@elationlighting.com for any needed parts or manuals.

DMX SETUP
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 the SIXPARTM series IP rated DMX cables listed in the OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES section at the end of this manual. 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 SIXPAR 300IPTM can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol and the DMX address is set via the control menu.
DMX Cable REQUIREMENTS (For 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. Also, remember that a DMX line must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
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 SIXPAR 300IPTM . The diagram below illustrates a typical DMX-512 connection when the fixture is in the 12 Channel Mode. You can chain multiple panels together through serial linking. Always be sure daisy chain your in and out data connections, never split or “Y” your DMX connections.

DMX CONTROLLER

Address 1

Address 13

Address 25

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. Use the SIXPARTM DMX Terminator End Cap listed in the OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES section at the end of this manual.
15

DMX SETUP
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. The same starting address can be set 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 a different DMX address is set for each fixture, 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 SIXPAR 300IPTM, when in the 12 Channel Mode you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 13 (1 + 12), the third unit to 25 (13 + 12), and so on. Note: During start-up the SIXPAR 300IPTM 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.
16

REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT (RDM)
NOTE: In order for RDM to work properly, RDM enabled equipment must be used throughout the entire system, including DMX data splitters and wireless systems. Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol that sits on top of the DMX512 data standard for lighting, and allows the DMX systems of the fixtures to be modified and monitored remotely. This protocol is ideal for instances in which a unit is installed in a location that is not easily accessible. With RDM, the DMX512 system becomes bi-directional, allowing a compatible RDM enabled controller to send out a signal to devices on the wire, as well as allowing the fixture to respond (known as a GET command). The controller can then use its SET command to modify settings that would typically have to be changed or viewed directly via the unit’s display screen, including the DMX Ad- dress, DMX Channel Mode, and Temperature Sensors. Please be aware that not all RDM devices support all RDM features, and therefore it is important to check beforehand to ensure that the equipment that you are considering includes all of the fea- tures that you require. The following parameters are accessible in RDM on this device:

PRIMARY-SECONDARY SET UP
This function allows you to link units together to run in a Primary-Secondary set-up, in which one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling unit’s built-in programs. Any unit can be configured to act as a Primary or as a Secondary, but only one unit in a given system can be programmed to act as the Primary. Primary-Secondary Connections and Settings: 1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connectors on the bottom of each unit. Use standard
XLR data cables to link your units together. Remember that the male XLR connector is the input and the female XLR connector is the ouput. The first unit in the chain (primary) will use the female XLR connector only. The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only. 2. On the units that you want to designate as secondaries, use the display screen and control panel to navigate to “Secondary Mode” and press the ENTER button to confirm. 3. On the unit that you want to designate as the primary, no additional action is required. Simply set the unit to operate in your desired mode, and the linked secondary units will now follow the primary. NOTES: · Only one unit should be configured as the primary, while all the other units should be configured as secondaries. · All units should be set to the same DMX channel mode. · If fixtures fail to sync, verify that all settings mentioned above are the same, then power all devices off, then switch them on again to re-establish the link.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!
CLEANING Frequent cleaning is recommended to insure proper function, optimized light output, and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environments can cause 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 an authorized 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.
