www.elationlighting.com FIXTURE 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. CAUTIONS • For added protection, mount the fixture in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or in areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture. • Ambient operating temperature range for this fixture is 14° to 113°F. (-10° to 45°C) Do not use the fixture under or above this temperature.
www.elationlighting.com 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. • Fixture is fully operational in the specific mounting positions as illustrated below.
www.elationlighting.com CLAMP MOUNTING The PLATINUM BEAM 5R EXTREME™ provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that integrates the bottom of the base, the included Omega Brackets (x2) and safety cable rigging point in one unit (see the illustration below). When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamps to the included omega brackets using a M10 screw fitted through the center hole of the Omega Bracket.
www.elationlighting.com 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.
www.elationlighting.com 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.
www.elationlighting.com 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.
www.elationlighting.com 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.
