1. DESCRIPTION This chapter contains descriptions of luminaire features, components, and accessories.
FEATURES Overview The AutoPar Wash Luminaire from PRG Lighting is a compact, lightweight fixture which incorporates PAR 56 illumination with the dynamic features of an automated luminaire. The AutoPar luminaire features a powerful 700 watt arc lamp, an integrated ballast with power factor correction and a moving yoke. Four interchangeable front lenses provide a wide range of beam options, while a standard gel frame allows for color customization.
COMPONENTS Included Items The following illustration shows all items included with the luminaire: Mega Claw Hook (2) Very Narrow Spot Lens AutoPar Luminaire Clamp Mount (2) Narrow Spot Lens Flex Top Lock Nut (2) 8-Row Lenticular Lens Power Cable Safety Cable 12-Row Lenticular Lens Figure 1-1: AutoPar Wash Luminaire Included Items Replacement Items and Accessories The following items can be ordered from PRG. (Please order by PRG part number.) PRG P/N Accessory 10.9802.0010 Clamp Mount 23.9623.
Major Components and Controls The following illustration shows the external luminaire components and controls. Mega-Claw Truss Hook (2) Allows luminaire to be mounted on truss pipe. (May be replaced with other truss hook types.) Clamp Mount (2) Provides attachment point for truss hooks or other mounting hardware. Upper Enclosure Houses power supply, ballast, and provides Data In and Thru, and AC power connections (see detail below).
2. INSTALLATION This chapter contains instructions for installing the luminaire. It includes connecting power and data, along with instructions for powering up the luminaire for the first time and addressing it within your system.
POWER AND DATA CABLING REQUIREMENTS Power The AutoPar Wash Luminaire requires standard AC power distribution from 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 10 Amps maximum. The upper enclosure provides a Neutrik® connector for power input. (Power cable not supplied.) Neutrik AC Power Connector Figure 2-1: Power Input Connector Data The AutoPar Luminaire is equipped with two, 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA IN and DATA THRU (out) applications.
The XLR 5-pin connectors should be wired as follows: Pin/Wire Code to XLR Connectors Data Thru Cable Pinout 1 5 2 Pin 1 Pin 2 Pin 3 Pin 4 Pin 5 Foil & Braided Shield 1st conductor of 1st twisted pair 2nd conductor of 1st twisted pair 1st conductor of 2nd twisted pair 2nd conductor of 2nd twisted pair Data (-) Data (+) Data (-) Data (+) 4 3 Data In Cable Pinout 5 1 4 Male Conn 3 2 Female Conn Note: Refer to the USITT Recommended Practice for DMX512 guide for additional information r
Male Termination Connector A male XLR termination connector is required at the last luminaire (or "far end of the line") to prevent signal reflections. Signal reflections may cancel out the signal at certain line lengths, resulting in errors. The terminator is also necessary for software downloads and running tests on multiple luminaires. To construct your own connector, you will need the following components: + 5-pin, male XLR connector. + Two 1/4W 5% 120 ohm resistors.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE Hanging the Luminaire The AutoPar wash luminaire can be hung horizontally or vertically from any structure designed to accommodate the load created by this moving luminaire. Two provided clamp mounts are used to attach truss hooks or other mounting hardware as required. A Mega-Claw truss hook is provided, however, other compatible truss hooks are available from manufacturers such as Grainger.
Installing in Truss: Step 1. Attach hardware and loop safety cable through mounting bracket slot (Figure 2-2). Step 2. Lift luminaire into mounting position (Figure 2-3). Step 3. Secure in place with truss hooks. Ensure truss hook hardware (e.g. wing bolt) is properly tightened and that luminaire is fully supported. Step 4. Attach safety cable around pipe as shown. Step 5. Connect power and data cables according to "Connecting Data and Power" on page 13.
Floor Mounting the Luminaire The luminaire enclosure is sufficient to stabilize the luminaire in a floor installation, provided that the mounting surface is flat and sturdy. Connecting Data and Power A maximum of 32 luminaires may be connected in any one DMX data link. Note: This maximum limit applies to the luminaire "daisy chain" only. Your system or console may require fewer luminaires on a single data link path. Consult your console documentation for more information. To connect power and data: Step 1.
POWER UP PROCEDURE Powering Up the Luminaire When AC power is applied, the luminaire will begin a calibration sequence which moves its pan, tilt, and lens rotation mechanisms. After calibration, the luminaire head will either stop at its "home" position (which positions the pan axis at mid-rotation and the head parallel to the yoke with the lens pointing away from the luminaire upper enclosure) or move to its current DMX-defined position if DMX512 data is present.
Programming a Starting Address The address setting for DMX512 systems is programmed at the Menu Display (refer to "Menu System" on page 18 for more detailed instructions). The luminaire retains its DMX512 address even if power is removed. Note: Refer to your console operating instructions for specific information regarding its addressing requirements. Program a DMX512 starting address: Step 1. Press [Enter] to access top level functions. Step 2. Press [Up] / [Down] arrows to scroll to Dmx menu.

3. OPERATION This chapter contains instructions for using the Menu Display system and controlling the luminaire by DMX512.
MENU SYSTEM Overview The menu system is a programmable set of commands used to configure, address, and report status information at the Menu Display. The system is controlled by four buttons as shown in Figure 3-1.
Menu Functions The following is a graphic representation of the menu system. Fixture, Dmx, Lamp and Test are top level functions which have a series of sub-functions associated with each.
DMX512 OPERATION Channel Mapping These tables assume a DMX512 start address of 1. When a different starting address is used, this address becomes channel 1 function and other functions follow in sequence.
Control Channel Functions Control channel functions allow special actions such as reset, douse and start. These must be executed with zero time transition or with console timing disabled. Discrete values must be used; not manual controls such as faders or encoders (see chart below for values). Reset - resets all luminaire mechanisms. Douse - turns lamp off. Start - strikes lamp. DMX Value Action 85 Reset 168 Douse 252 Start To use control channel functions: Step 1. Select an action to be sent.
LUMINAIRE TIMING Timing Channel Information Timing channel control allows for smoother transition and movement of the luminaire mechanisms. In this case, timing channels are provided for focus (pan/tilt) and beam. Types of timing control: + Timing Control Channel: the luminaire uses its timing channel value to calculate a smooth, continuous movement for a given time and transition.
Timing channels can be set in either % or 0-255 (DMX) modes, with the following values assigned: Table 3-1: DMX Mapping (Continued) % Value Table 3-1: DMX Mapping % Value 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 DMX = Seconds 0 Full Speed 1 0.2 2 0.4 3 0.6 4 0.8 5 1 6 1.2 7 1.4 8 1.6 9 1.8 10 2 11 2.2 12 2.4 13 2.6 14 2.8 15 3 16 3.2 17 3.4 18 3.6 19 3.8 20 4 21 4.2 22 4.4 23 4.6 24 4.8 25 5 26 5.2 27 5.4 28 5.6 29 5.8 30 6 31 6.
