Note About LED Fixtures All LED sources experience some lessening of light output and some color shift over time. Desire Series fixtures have complex thermal management systems to minimize these changes. With typical usage, a Desire fixture will still achieve at least 70% of its initial output after 50,000 hours of use (B50, L70). In individual situations, LEDs will be used for different durations and different levels.
Installation Mounting Hardware Four options are available for mounting Desire fixtures. • Yoke with C-clamp • Floor stand • Canopy (D22) • Track mount (D22) Installing the Floor Stand The floor standing yoke assembly replaces the included standard yoke so that the fixture can be placed on a floor and tilted to the desired angle. Yoke locking knob Yoke bolt Main yoke Floor standing yoke Figure-2.1 Fixture with Floor Stand. Step 1: Remove the yoke locking knob with the flat washer.
Ai m Adjustment D40, D40XT, D60, D22 Portable The fixture can be tilted up and down and rotated (panned) to aim the light where it is needed. The adjustment is the same for the yoke or floor stand. To assist aiming the fixture, you can turn it on without having to be connected to DMX control or enabling a preset. For more information, see Focus, page 58. Yoke locking knob Figure-2.2 Tilting the Fixture on a Yoke. Turning the Fixture On Step 1: Apply power to the fixture.
D22 Canopy and Track The Portable and Track mounted fixtures can tilted up and down and panned to aim the light where it is needed. 22 Step 1: Pan the fixture to the desired position. The fixture is prevented from rotating completely around to protect the wiring. Step 1: To adjust the tilt, loosen the yoke locking knob. Do not remove the knob. Refer to Figure-2.2. Step 2: Tilt it to the desired angle. Step 3: Tighten the yoke locking knob. Desire Series v1.6.
Installation Clearances C o o l i ng a n d D u t y C y c l e Desire D22 and D40 Series fixtures are convection cooled and can operate all channels at full power continuously in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F). The Desire D60 is equipped with a cooling fan, which is automatically controlled. If ambient conditions exceed 40°C (104°F) or fail to allow sufficient airflow, over a long period of time, the fixtures may shut down and remain off until they return to a safe operating temperature.
Dimensions and Hanging Clearances Use the following dimensions to allow proper clearances around the fixture. Allow additional space for cables. 10.4” 105mm 6.1” 105mm 3.3” 82.8mm 3.1” 77.5mm 11.7” 294.6mm 8.9” 227.3mm 4.3” 109.7mm 6.3” 160.5mm 6.6” 166.6mm 7.7” 195.6mm 8.2” 207.5mm D22 13.3” 340mm 14.8” 375mm 8.3” 210mm 4.5” 115mm 4.2” 105mm 6.4” 165mm 11.7” 300mm 5.7” 145mm 8.5” 215mm 9.2” 235mm 10.6” 270mm 10.4” 265mm D40 & D40XT 14.1 358mm 9.5” 241mm 4.5” 115mm 4.7” 119mm 6.
Safety Cable The safety cable (or other approved safety device) should be attached to the fixture housing and wrapped around the hanging structure (pipe). An appropriate attachment loop is provided on the protruding tab of the fixture housing. Take care to leave as little slack as possible in the safety cable to avoid the cable catching the yoke of the fixture. Safety cable loop Figure-2.4 Safety Cable Loop on Fixture Housing.
Power and Data Cabling Requi rements Power The Desire series fixture operates on AC power, 100 to 240VAC/50-60Hz. The fixture must be connected to a non-dimmable power source in order to avoid damage to its internal power supply and other electrical components. Mains Line Neutral Ground (Earth) Europe Brown Blue Green/Yellow North America Black White Green Data (D40, D40XT, D60) The Desire series fixtures operate on a DMX control signal or as standalone fixtures.
Data (D22) Portable Model The Portable D22 is provided with 5-pin XLR connectors on the back for data in and thru connection to a DMX/RDM control network. Canopy Mount The D22 Canopy Mount fixture is provided with an attached power and Cat5 data cable. A termination board is incorporated into the mounting plate for installation onto a voltage separated junction box (provided by others) and provides termination for control wiring.
Connections All connections and user controls are located on the back of the fixture, depending on the model. Power In DMX In Power Thru DMX Thru PUSH Indicator lights Figure-2.6 Power and DMX Connections on Back of D40 or D60 Fixture. DMX/RDM Power In PUSH Indicator lights In DMX/RDM Thru Figure-2.7 Power and DMX/RDM Connections on Back of the D22 Portable Fixture. Depending on the fixture model, connect AC input power and DMX data cables to the appropriate ports.
D40, D60 Connections Connect the AC cable: Align and insert the power connector. Twist the connector clockwise until it locks into place. Disconnect the AC cable: Slide back the locking tab to unlock, twist the connector counterclockwise, and then pull and disconnect the power connector. Connect the DMX cable: Align and insert the DMX connector. Disconnect the DMX cable: Press the release button on the connector or on the fixture and pull the connector out.
Termination D40XT – The last fixture on a DMX line must be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor between pins 2 and 3. D22 – The last fixture on a DMX/RDM line must be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor, which is accomplished by one of the following. • Portable – The fixture is self terminated, therefore does not require other termination. • Canopy – Terminate with the S1 switch on the Termination Board. Set the switch to the ON position to terminate the last fixture.
DMX Profile Addressing Addresses must be set between 1 and 510. Each Desire fixture must be considered a separate DMX device for the purpose of DMX line-loading calculations. DMX line-loading practice dictates that no more than 32 devices can be daisy-chained together. Consequently, no combination of Desire fixtures totaling more than 32 DMX devices should be configured in one DMX line. For runs of fixtures totaling more than 32 DMX devices, split the DMX runs by using a DMX splitter.
Color Mixes The following table shows the color mixes for each fixture type.
Note: The RGB profile is optimized for maximum brightness at all settings. Sometimes small changes in RGB values may produce unexpected jumps in brightness. Shifts in brightness may be perceived during color crossfades in cues and presets. Studio The fixture produces only white-type light, which is adjustable from 2700 to 6500K. The Studio profile uses 3 DMX channels to control Intensity, white point, and tint, (the green/magenta balance). Tint is adjustable without affecting the white point.
Plus 7 Plus 7 adds precision color-control channels to the HSI, HSIC, RGB, and Studio profiles. For example, HSI with Plus 7 enabled becomes a 14-channel (D22, D40, D40XT) or 15-channel (D60) profile. Placing channel 7 at a value over 51% activates the 14- or 15-channel profile within the fixture. The desired color and intensity is achieved by using the HSI or RGB channels as a starting point.
Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten Profiles Direct Control The first DMX channel always controls Intensity from 0 to 100%. 1 2 Data Channel Fixture address Fixture address + 1 Control Intensity Strobe Value 0 to 255 0 to 255 Function Intensity 0 to 100% Variable strobe control Fan Control (D60) Only the D60 fixtures have a fan.

Plus Seven (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire and Ice, Studio HD) Plus Seven allows enhanced color-mixing precision when using the RGB, HSI, HSIC, or Studio profile as a starting point for color selection. Enabling Plus Seven adds another 8 DMX channels of control at the end of the control channels already in use by the fixture. For example, in the HSIC profile, with Strobe enabled, the D22, D40, D40XT fixtures use 6 channels of control.
Note: Once any one of the seven individual color channels is altered from its neutral starting position, the settings for the original color point may no longer reflect the actual output of the fixture. When using RGB, HSI, HSIC, or Studio profile for color selection, each fixture makes accommodations for the specific LEDs in its array and produces output that is consistent with other fixtures, whether or not they use LEDs from the same production batch.
Boost Boost provides the brightest possible output, with least guarantee of consistency. This is best for applications with low duty cycles, loose brightness requirements, or where ambient temperature is low. Step 1: On the Advanced Menu, scroll to LED Settings. Step 2: Press [ Step 3: With Output selected, press [ Step 4: Press [ Note: ]. ] or [ ] to toggle between the options. ] to commit the option.
Linear Intensity Linear has no curve. Brightness levels correlate exactly with the value of the dimming control signal. Moderate lag in response for good dimming smoothness. Linear allows quick jumps in brightness. It is best for studio lighting and applications with static scenes or looks. 0 DMX 255 Quick Intensity Quick uses the standard dimming curve but with no lag or smoothing. All changes are instant and correlated exactly with the control input signal.
Output Freq Output Frequency is the frequency in Hz at which the LED array pulses, or blinks, as a function of Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM). The frequency is adjustable in order to avoid visible flicker on video and film. When altering the frequency in order to reduce noticeable flicker on camera, often only a small change is required. The range is 920 to 1500 Hz in increments of 10. The default value is 1200 Hz. For high speed exposure or rolling shutter cameras, use the High 25K mode.
