w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m INSTALLATION T he el ec tri c c onnec ti on m ust onl y b e c arri ed out b y a qu al if i ed el ec tri c i an. C A U T I O N S • The maximum recommended ambient temperature is 104°F (40°C). Do not use the fixture above this temperature. • For added protection, mount the fixture in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or in areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m 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.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m 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.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m 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.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m 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.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m 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.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m FIXTURE MENU ON-BOARD SYSTEM MENU The ARENA PAR ZOOM™ comes with an easy to navigate system menu.

w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m CLEANING AND 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.
