1. GENERAL INFORMATION INTRODUCTION: Congratulations, you have just purchased one of the most innovative and reliable lighting fixtures on the market today! The Impression 120RZ,™ has been designed to perform reliably for years when the guidelines in this booklet are followed. Please read and understand the instructions in this manual carefully and thoroughly before attempting to operate this unit. These instructions contain important information regarding safety during use and maintenance.
Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside this unit. Do not attempt any repairs yourself, doing so will void your manufactures warranty. Please do not discard the shipping carton in the trash. Please recycle whenever possible. WARRANTY REGISTRATION: The Impression 120RZ™ carries a two year (730 days) limited warranty. Please fill out the enclosed warranty card to validate your purchase.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS To guarantee a smooth operation, it is necessary to respect the following rules. The manufacturer of this device will not take responsibility of damages through any disregard of the information in this manual. Warranty claims also will be cancelled in case the system casing is opened. 1. Be sure the fan and the air inlets are clean and not blocked before attempting operation. 2. It must be assured that the system-head can rotate unhindered throughout the complete rotating range.
Safety cables or clamps/hooks can increase the risk of an accident. 8. Qualified or certified Elation staff should perform all repair, maintenance, and installation work. You need to pay attention to the common rules of technology that are not explicit mentioned in this manual. 9. Use only original spare parts. Any structural modification on the system will terminate all warranty claims. 10. Please keep this instruction manual for later reference. 11. Only handle the power cord by the plug.

1. Head / LED Lens Assembly – The head assembly consist of the main output lenses, and LED cluster module. A high-velocity variable speed fan is mounted in the head to aid in the cooling process. The fan is designed to vary the velocity at different operating temperatures. When the fixture reaches a predetermined internal operating temperature the fan functions at high speeds. The higher speeds provide better cooling associated with higher operating temperatures during long use.
electronics. 6. DMX Output Jack – This 3-Pin XLR jack is used to send an outgoing DMX signal. For best results this jack should be terminated if it is the last fixture in a DMX daisy-chain (see termination on page 19). 7. DMX Input Jack – This 3-Pin XLR jack is used to receive an incoming DMX signal. 8. Electronics Fuse Holder – This housing holds a 250v/4A GMA fuse (120v operation). Never defeat this fuse, this fuse is designed to protect the electronics in the event of severer power fluctuations.
4. 1.1 MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION Mounting The Impression 120RZ is fully operational whether it hangs or is mounted to the wall. It can also be operated while standing on the floor. Keep a safety distance of 0.5 m towards any easily inflammable materials (decoration etc.). Pay attention to the regulations of: BGV C1 (former VBG 70) and DIN VDE 0711-217.
1.1.1 Mounting on the Floor (Upright) To operate the Impression 120RZ in an upright position, please use the dedicated tripod which is mounted to the bottom of the fixture. It is fixed with fasteners called Camlock quick-release connectors. Turn the two fasteners both 90° to lock them. Do the opposite to release them again. On both sides you'll find eyelets to pull though a fixing strap. This allows an additional bracing of the system during the upright operation. 1.1.
1.1.3 Mounting in sidewise Position To operate the Impression 120RZ in a side mount position, please use the optional truss-mounting bar. The truss-mounting bar is attached by two Camlock quick-release connectors. Two half-couplers (clamps) are now used to mount the system to a standard truss bar. This technique is necessary to cope with the excessive torque levels that fixture produces in side mount position. Failure to use the truss-mount bar can result in severe damage to the fixture.
Without mounting bar 1.2 Secure the Device Regardless of the mounting method of the Impression 120RZ you'll have to use a stipulated safety wire. Therefore you have to pull the safety wire through to two provided holes on the bottom side of the system and connect it with the truss-support. Pay attention to a safe and proper fastening. Install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Never use the carrying handles for this purpose. 1.3 Connections 1.3.
5. UNDERSTANDING DMX DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by 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.
Elation Opto Branch 4™ or DMX Branch/4™. 1.4 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.
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. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3pin XLR DMX line.
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.
6. FIXTURE MENU On-Board System Menu: The Impression 120RZ™ comes with an easy to navigate system menu. This next section will detail the functions of each command in the system menu. LCD Control Panel: The control panel located on the arm of the fixture allows you to access the main menu and make all necessary adjustments to the Impression™. During normal operation, tapping the “MODE” key once will access the fixture’s main menu.

8. MAINTAINING AND CLEANING THE IMPRESSION 120RZ The Impression 120RZ is a system of very low maintenance. It is only necessary to clean the air in- and outlets as well as the optical LED lenses from time to time. For a safe operation it is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not built up on or within the fixture. Otherwise the fixture's light-output will be significantly reduced or damages can occur.
