DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ 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 Design LED 36 Pro™. Please do not daisy-chain power for more than 16 fixtures. 4. DMX Out Lead – XLR female lead. This lead is used to send an incoming DMX signal to the next fixture in the DMX chain. 5. Menu Button – This button is used to access the fixtures menu functions. 6.
DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ 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.
DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ Mounting The Design LED 36 Pro™ 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.
DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ added safety measure be sure to attach at least one properly rated safety cable to the fixture. See illustrations below. Securing the Design LED 36 Pro™ Always be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable when suspending the unit from truss or other means. The fixture provides a built-in rigging point for a safety cable as illustrated above. Be sure to only use the designated rigging point for the safety cable and never secure a safety cable to the hanging bracket.
DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ 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.
DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ 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’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ 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 (Elation part: DMX T PACK) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior. 5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.
DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ 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 you 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.
DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ 8. FIXTURE MENU On-Board System Menu: The Design LED 36 Pro™ comes with an easy to navigate system menu. This next section will detail the functions of each command in the system menu. LED Control Panel: The control panel located on the base of the fixture allows you to access the main menu and make all necessary adjustments to the Design LED 36 Pro™.
