ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 5. FIXTURE OVERVIEW ©Elation Professional, Los Angeles Ca. 9 www.ElationLighting.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 1. LED Lens Assembly – The lens assembly may be user replaced in the event repair is needed or a different beam angle is required. 2. LED Display – 4-segment menu display. Used to display the DMX address as well as all other menu functions. 3. Power Output Lead – This lead is used to jump power to another ELAR 108PAR RGBW™. Please do not daisy chain power for more than 16 fixtures. To maintain the integrity of the IP rating, only use proper Elation IP rated power cables. 4.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ cable that converts a standard Edison 3-prong to the IP rated twist lock connector. When jumping from fixture to fixture be sure to only use Elation IP rated power connectors to maintain the IP rating. 11. DMX In Lead – This lead is the main DMX input lead.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 6. MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION Cautions: For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, and away from areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture. Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device’s weight. Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriate safety cable.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ Mounting The ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ is fully operational in any mounting position, hanging upside-down, side mounted, or set on a flat level surface, etc. Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m (1.5 feet) away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). When clamp mounting; always use and install the supplied safety cable as an added safety measure to prevent accidental damage in the event of a clamp failure. See the image below.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp to the hanging yoke using a M10 screw fitted through the center hole of the hanging yoke. As an added safety measure be sure to attach at least one properly rated safety cable to the fixture. See illustrations below. Securing the ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ Always be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable when suspending the unit from truss or other means.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 7. UNDERSTANDING 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.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ “First” Power Cable – A special power “First” cable is included with every fixture. This cables is used to provide power to your fixture. This cable comes with the IP rated twist lock connector on one end and a standard Edison 3-prong, grounded prong on the other end. Be sure to only use this cable for power distribution and never attempt to connect this cable to the DMX lines. You can chain multiple fixtures together through serial linking.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 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, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The following chart details a proper cable conversion.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 10 (9 + 1), the third unit to 19 (9 + 10), and so on. Note: During start-up the ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data signal is being received or not. If a DMX data signal is being received, the display will show "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a DMX signal the display will flash "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address).
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 8. DISPLAY LED INDICATOR. The ELAR 108PAR RGBW ™ has a LED indicator on the display. This indicator is designed to give a quick visual indication of the fixtures’ DMX status. The illustration below details the functionality of the LED indicators. The LED indicator represents DMX signal: • If the indicators is on, a clean DMX signal is present • If the indicator is off, there is no DMX signal present ©Elation Professional, Los Angeles Ca. 19 www.ElationLighting.

ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ in a daisy-chain fashion it is imperative to assign a proper and unique starting DMX address to each and every fixture. The DMX address is non-destructive and will remain in the fixture’s memory even when the power to the unit is switched off. Memory is backed-up and retain by an internal power source that should last about five years. For proper DMX addressing see “DMX Addressing” on page 25 of this user manual.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 9.1.3 - Menu Display Settings This function allows the internal programs to run in either stand-alone or master/salve DMX chain. In “Alone” mode “VALU” - Display the DMX 512 value of each channel This function will electronically display the current DMX value for any channel that is currently being adjusted. The display will automatically detail the changing DMX values as they are received from the controller. This function is “off” by default.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ - Restore Default This function is used to restore the factory settings of the device. All settings will be set back to the default values (shaded). Any edited scenes will be lost. Software Version This function will display the current firmware version. 9.3 “MANL” – Manual Fixture Settings: This function allows the each of the nine DMX channels to be controlled manually.

ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 10. DMX ADDRESSING Setting the DMX address - After the fixture is turned “ON” it will immediately complete a reset process that test all the fixture’s functions. When the reset process concludes the LCD will display the fixture’s current DMX address. If the fixture is not receiving a DMX signal, the display will flash continuously. To set or adjust a DMX address, please follow the procedure below: 1.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 6. Press ENTER to confirm. 7. Press MODE/ESC to return to the main menu. Controller Settings: 1. Set the DMX value of channel 1 to a value of 7. 2. Set the DMX value of channel 2 to a value of 7 or 8. When channel 2 is set to "7" you can adjust the starting address between 1 and 255. When set to "8" you can adjust the starting address between 256 and 511. 3. Use channel 3 to set your desired DMX starting address.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 11. DMX TRAITS DMX Operation Notes: The fixture will function in DMX mode whenever the unit is receiving a DMX signal. Please note that this will override all manual settings.

ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 12. WORKING WITH BUILT-IN PROGRAMS The fixture comes equipped with a built-in DMX recorder that allows custom programs to be installed and recalled directly from the fixture’s control board. Programs can be created and stored using the fixture’s control board or by using an external DMX controller. The following instructions will detail the procedures for using the on-board system menu as well as using a DMX compliant controller.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ lock the value into the scenes memory. You can repeat the procedure for all functions listed below: - “Auto Program” – Allows access to all of the fixture’s DMX traits.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ “DOWN” buttons to toggle through the scenes created in “Step 1.” Press the “ENTER” button to add a scene to the program. Tapping the “Enter” button will automatically lock the selected scene into the programs’ memory. Repeat the process until all the desired scenes have been added to the program. Each program can store a maximum of 64 scenes. • To test the program access “Program Test” in the “Program Edit” menu function.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 13. LENS REPLACEMENT The ELAR 108PAR RGBW comes with a removable front cover that allows the lens assembly to be changed out to achieve different beam angles. Lens cover is held in place by two ¼ turn locking fasteners. To remove the cover; 1) Turn the locking fasteners in a counter-clockwise direction. 2) Once the fasteners are loose lift the cover straight up to expose the inner lens (see illustration below). 3) Locate the 8 securing screws on the inner cover and remove them.
ELAR 108PAR RGBW™ 14. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Consider the following points during normal service and inspection: 1. 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. 2. Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments. Never remove the ground prong from the power cable.
