6. MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION

Cautions:

For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, and away from areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture.

Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device’s weight.

Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriate safety cable.

To avoid injury, never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing, or servicing the fixture.

Mounting points

Refer to regulations BGV C1 (formerly VBG 70) and DIN VDE0711-217 for proper installation in Europe To ensure proper installation, only

qualified staff should attempt installation.

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating working load limits, a fine knowledge of the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

CAUTION!

Be sure a qualified electrician performs all electrical

connections.

Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before connecting the main power cord to the appropriate wall outlet.



Mounting

The Design LED 36 Pro™ is fully operational in any mounting position, hanging upside-down, side mounted, or set on a flat level surface, etc. Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m (1.5 feet) away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). When clamp mounting; always use and install the supplied safety cable as an added safety measure to prevent accidental damage in the event of a clamp failure. See the image below.

Clamp Mounting

The Design LED 36 Pro™ provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that allows the unit to stand on a flat surface or to be hung on truss via a clamp in any safe position (see the illustration above). Regardless of the mounting option you choose please be sure to refer to the safety guidelines in this manual to avoid damage to the unit and/or personal injury.

When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp to the hanging yoke using a M10 screw fitted through the center hole of the hanging yoke. As an


DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ added safety measure be sure to attach at least one properly rated safety cable to the fixture.

See illustrations below.

Securing the Design LED 36 Pro™

Always be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable when suspending the unit from truss or other means. The fixture provides a built-in rigging point for a safety cable as illustrated above. Be sure to only use the designated rigging point for the safety cable and never secure a safety cable to the hanging bracket.



7. 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. A DMX controller sends the DMX data instructions to the fixture allowing the user to control the different aspects of an intelligent light. DMX data is sent out as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via data “IN” and data “OUT” XLR terminals located on the fixtures (most controllers will only have output jacks).

DMX Linking: To ensure proper DMX data transmission, always use proper DMX cables and a terminator. When using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. Never split a DMX line with a “Y” style connector. The order in which the fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in the DMX chain, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. The DMX controller knows to send data assigned to address 1 to that fixture no matter where it is located in the DMX chain. The Design LED 36

Pro™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Design LED 36 Pro™ is a 6-channel

DMX fixture. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the LCD menu.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation): Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for data input and data output (the figure below is of a 3-Pin XLR connector). If you are making your own cables, be sure to use two conductor shielded digital DMX cable rated at 120 ohms; this cable is designed for DMX transmission and may be purchased from your Elation dealer or at most professional lighting retailers. Your cables should be made with a male and female

XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also, remember that a DMX line must be daisy chained and cannot be split, unless using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto

Branch 4™ or DMX Branch/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.

DMX-512 control connection

Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head (Please refer to the diagram below.). You can chain multiple moving heads together through serial linking. The cable that should be used is two conductor, shielded DMX cable with XLR input and output connectors.

Always be sure daisy chain your in and out data connections, never split or “Y” your DMX connections unless you are using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto Branch

4™ or DMX Branch/4™.

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator

A DMX terminator should be used in all DMX lines especially in longer runs. The use of a


DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ 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. 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 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The following chart details a proper cable conversion.

Fixture 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


DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located 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.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected fixture.

In the case of the Design LED 36 Pro™, which is up to a six channel fixture (default may also be set to three or four channels), you should set the starting DMX address of the first unit to

1, the second unit to 7 (6 + 1), the third unit to 13 (6 + 7), and so on.

Note: During start-up the Design LED 36 Pro™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data signal is being received or not. If a DMX data signal is being received, the display will show "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a

DMX signal the display will flash "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address).

If your fixture is connected to a DMX controller and the display is flashing (not receiving a

DMX signal), please check the following:

- The 3-pin XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) may not be connected or is not inserted completely into the DMX input jack.

- The DMX controller is switched off or defective.

- The DMX cable or connector is defective.

- A DMX terminator has been inserted into the last fixture in your DMX chain.



8. FIXTURE MENU

On-Board System Menu: The Design LED 36 Pro™ comes with an easy to navigate system menu. This next section will detail the functions of each command in the system menu.

LED Control Panel: The control panel located on the base of the fixture allows you to access the main menu and make all necessary adjustments to the Design LED 36 Pro™.

During normal operation, tapping the “MENU” key once will access the fixture’s main menu.

Once in the main menu you can navigate through the different functions and access the sub-menus with the Up and Down buttons. Once you reach a field that requires adjusting, tap the ENTER button to activate that field and use the UP and Down button to adjust the field. Tapping the Enter button once more will confirm your setting. Once a setting is saved the display will briefly readout OK to confirm a new setting has been made and locked into memory. You may exit the main menu at any time without making any adjustments by tapping the MENU button.

MENU Button - To access the main menu locate the MENU button on the front of the unit.

Press this button to activate the system menu. Tap the UP button until you reach the function you wish to change. When you reach the function you wish to change tap the

ENTER button once to select that menu function. When a function is selected use the UP or

DOWN button to change the function. Once your changes are made tap the ENTER button yet again to lock the change in the system menu. To exit without making any changes tap the MENU button.

8.1 “MOdE” - Function Mode:

8.1.1 <Addr> - DMX address setting – This function is used to set or adjust the fixture’s starting DMX address. Every device controlled by DMX has to have a unique starting address. The addressing feature is what allows DMX to function properly. The

DMX address of a fixture is what allows it to communicate with a controller properly. The

DMX addressing also allows the fixture to ignore any DMX information coming from the controller that is not meant specifically for the fixture. Because each fixture is connected in a daisy-chain fashion it is imperative to assign a proper and unique starting DMX address to each and every fixture. The DMX address is non-destructive and will remain in the fixture’s memory even when the power to the unit is switched off. Memory is backed-up and retain by an internal power source that should last about five years. For proper DMX addressing see Section 9/Page 33 of this user manual.

“VALU” - Display the DMX 512 value of each channel

With this function you can display the DMX 512 value of each channel. The display will automatically detail the changing DMX values as they are received from the


DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ controller.

“SLAV” - Slave setting for Master/Slave Operation

With this function, you can define the device as slave for operation in Master/Slave mode. Each slave setting will have a different function for a dynamic lightshow without a controller.

“rdMX” - Address via DMX - This function allows the DMX address to remotely be adjusted from a DMX console. This setting requires special settings for both the controller and the fixture. RDMX is on by default. For operational instructions please see Section 9/Page 33 of this manual “Remote DMX addressing.”

8.1.2 <rUN> - Internal Program Settings

This function allows the internal programs to run in either stand-alone or master/salve mode. In “Master” mode the fixture will send DMX data to other fixtures connect via the

DMX chain. In “Alone” mode the fixture will operate as a single fixture. The program for this mode is selected in the “Select program” section of the control menu. You can set the number of steps under “Edit program”. You can edit the individual scenes under

“Edit scenes”. With this function, you can run the individual scenes either automatically, i.e. with the adjusted Step-Time.

8.1.3 <dISP> - Menu Display Settings

This function allows the internal programs to run in either stand-alone or master/salve

DMX chain. In “Alone” mode

“VALU” - Display the DMX 512 value of each channel

This function will electronically display the current DMX value for any channel that is currently being adjusted. The display will automatically detail the changing DMX values as they are received from the controller. This function is “off” by default.

“FLIP” – This function will flip the display readout by a 180˚ allowing for better


DESIGN LED 36 Pro™ visualization when the fixture is mounted in an inverted position.

“d ON” – The display is designed to turn off during normal operation to avoid excessive light in situations that require an extremely dark environment. This function will adjust the time delay the fixture will remain on before it turns off. This function is disabled as default.

8.2 “SEt” – Fixture Personality Settings:

These functions set specific running modes and operating parameters.

<CHAN> DMX Mode settings

This function allows the fixture to run in different DMX channel modes. Three modes are available; 3 channel, 4 channel, or 6 channel. See “DMX Traits” on page 31 for a detailed explanation of the different DMX modes.

<dIM> Dimmer Curve Adjustment

This function allow for different dimmer curves to be adjusted. Mode 1 (Mod1) allows for quicker dimming and Mode 2 (Mod2) allows for smoother dimming which more closely simulates a tungsten dimming curve.

<FAIL> DMX Fault Protection

This function dictates how the fixture will operate in the event DMX signal is suddenly lost while operating in DMX mode. The three fail safe modes are; 1) “OFF” which will blackout all light output. 2) “HOLd,” which will hold the last DMX command, or 3) “AUtO,” which will put the fixture in sound-active mode.

<dFSE> - Restore Default

This function is used to restore the factory settings of the device. All settings will be set back to the default values (shaded). Any edited scenes will be lost.

<VEr> Software Version

This function will display the current firmware version.



8.3 “MANL” – Manual Fixture Settings:

This function allows the each of the six DMX channels to be controlled manually. This will allow the fixture to be preset to a specific color or built-in program without the use of a DMX console.

8.4 “tIME” – Operating Hours

These functions will detail different time functions associated with the fixture.

<LIFE> (0000~9999 Hours)

This function tracks the running time of the fixture from the point it was last cleared.

Where “XXXX ”represents the total number of running hours. This time is none destructive and will remain in the fixtures memory indefinitely. Use this time to track rentals or show durations.

<COdE> Clear run time access code

This lock-out code prevents the current run time from being erased accidently. The access code is “038”

<CLFE> Clear Fixture Run Time

This function resets the run time to zero.

8.5 “Edit” Internal Program Settings:

The fixture comes equipped with a built-in DMX recorder that allows custom programs to be installed and recalled directly from the fixture’s control board. Programs can be created and stored using the fixture’s control board or by using an external DMX controller. For detailed instructions on how to complete this task please see Section 11/

Page 28.

8.5.1 Select program – This function allows the user to select one of ten of the user defined built-in programs. This program is then accessed in “Function Mode” under “Program Run.”



8.5.2 Edit program – This function allows the user to edit the built-in programs.

8.5.3 Edit Scenes – This function allows the user to edit or define the actual scenes that are stored in the user defined built-in programs that are accessed in the previous step.

8.5.4 Rec Controller - The Design LED 36 Pro features an integrated DMX recorder.

Pre-programmed scenes can be transmitted to the fixture via any DMX compliant controller. This function allows those scenes to be stored in to the fixture’s built-in memory and then subsequently used to create the user-defined programs.



9. DMX ADDRESSING

Setting the DMX address - After the fixture is turned “ON” it will immediately complete a reset process that test all the fixture’s functions. When the reset process concludes the LCD will display the fixture’s current DMX. If the fixture is not receiving a DMX signal, the display will flash continuously. To set or adjust a DMX address, please follow the procedure below:

1. Toggle through the menu by pressing the Up and Down buttons until the display reads “Addr=XXX.” Tap the enter button to make changes to the address.

2. While the display is flashing use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to select a new address. Once the new address has been selected, lock the new address into the fixture’s memory by pressing the “ENTER” button.

The DMX address is non-volatile and will remain in the fixture’s memory even when the power to the unit is switched off. Memory is backed-up and retain by an internal power source that should last about five years

Remote DMX addressing (RDMX) / Address Via DMX- This function allows the DMX address to be changed remotely from a DMX console. This setting requires special settings for both the controller and the fixture. RDMX is on by default. This function may be turned on and off, and is “ON” be default. Follow the procedure listed below to access the RDMX functions:

5. Press the UP button to display “ON” to activate this function, or “OFF” to deactivate this function.



6. Press ENTER to confirm.

7. Press MODE/ESC to return to the main menu.

Controller Settings:

1. Set the DMX value of channel 1 to a value of 7.

2. Set the DMX value of channel 2 to a value of 7 or 8. When channel 2 is set to "7" you can adjust the starting address between 1 and 255. When set to "8" you can adjust the starting address between 256 and 511.

3. Use channel 3 to set your desired DMX starting address. For example: If you want to set the starting address to 57, set channel 1 to a value of “7,” set channel 2 to a value of “7” and use channel 3 to set your address to

57 by selecting a channel value of 57. Example 2: If you want to set the starting address to 420, set channel 1 to a value of “7,” channel 2 to "8" and channel 3 to "164" (256+164=420).

4. Wait for approximately 20 seconds for the unit to complete the address reset function.



10. OPERATION

Operating Modes : The Design LED 36 Pro™ can operate in six different modes. This next section will detail the differences in the operating modes.

• Auto Program Mode (Master) - The fixture will chase through the built-in programs, sending a DMX control signal to all other fixtures connect via DMX cables instruction for a synchronized light show.

• Auto Program Mode (Stand-alone) - The fixture will chase through the built-in program.

This feature is great for store front with custom logos, where as the logos need to be displayed but the use of a controller is unwanted.

• Music Control Mode (Stand-alone) - The fixture will react to sound, chasing through the built-in programs. Great for small clubs or DJ that do not want to bother with programming.

• Music Control Mode (Master/Slave) - You can daisy chain up to 16 fixtures together to get a synchronized light show without the need of an external controller. The fixtures will react to sound, chasing to a synchronized light show.

• Set To Slave – This function will set the fixture to slave mode for use in either the auto program or music control program modes

• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation® Show Designer 2.

10.1 Stand-Alone Operation (Auto Program or Music Control): This mode allows a single fixture to run to the built-in programs with or without sound. Only use this mode when running a single fixture, or when running several fixtures as individuals.

!

Mount your fixture in a secure and stable manner.

!

For functionality without sound control: Access the “Function” menu and select the “Auto Program” function, this will give you access to the “Auto

Program” submenu. See page 18 for the menu breakdown. Once in the

“Auto Program” submenu select “Alone”

!

For functionality that chases to sound: Access the “Function” menu and select the “Music Control” function, this will give you access to the “Music



Control” submenu. See page 18 for the menu breakdown. Once in the

“Music Control” submenu select “Alone”

10.2 Master/Slave Operation (Auto Program or Music Control): This function allows up to 16 fixtures to be linked together to provide a synchronized light show without the use of a controller. Only use this when linking several Design LED 36 Pro together for use without a controller. Any fixture can act as a “Master or a “Slave.”

!

Using XLR DMX cables, daisy chain your fixtures together via the XLR connectors. Remember the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female

XLR connector is the output. The first fixture in the chain (master) will use the female XLR connector only - The last fixture in the chain will use the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last fixture.

!

For the unit functioning as the “Master” unit follow the same procedures listed in the previous Stand-Alone section.

!

For the “Slave” units, access the “Set To Slave” settings in the “Function

Mode” menu and assign each slave fixture a designation (Slave 1, Slave 2,

Slave 3…etc).

10.3 Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller such as the Elation® Show Designer 2™ or Elation® Show Designer 3™ to control head movement, the color wheel, the shutter (strobe), and all other DMX traits.

A DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs. The Design LED 36 Pro™ uses up to 6 DMX channels. See page 31 for detailed description of the DMX traits. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures on beginning on page 14 as well as the set-up instructions that are included with your DMX controller. Use the controller’s faders to control the various

DMX fixture traits. This will allow you to create your own programs.

!

Follow the instruction on page 24 to set the DMX address.

!

Be sure to use a terminator on the last fixture, especially for longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet).

!

For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual that was included with your DMX controller.



11. WORKING WITH BUILT-IN PROGRAMS

The fixture comes equipped with a built-in DMX recorder that allows custom programs to be installed and recalled directly from the fixture’s control board. Programs can be created and stored using the fixture’s control board or by using an external DMX controller. The following instructions will detail the procedures for using the on-board system menu as well as using a

DMX compliant controller.

Memory Statistics:

Quick Access Programs (Program Part): 3

Total Number of Programs: 10

Maximum Number of Steps (Scenes) per a Program: 64

Total Number of Scenes (Steps): 250

Step 1 – Building Scenes.

The control will store a maximum of 250 scenes. These scenes are then used to create the programs. A program can store one or a maximum of 64 scenes. Keep in mind that a scene can only be access when it is stored in a “Program.” If you wish to build a static scene (a scene consisting of no movement) for a logo or gobo projection, the scene must be stored inside a program. To build a scene follow the instructions below:

• Access the main menu and toggle to “Edit Programs” which is menu function 8.

• Then tap the “ENTER” button and toggle to “Edit Scenes,” menu function 8-3.

• When you get to the “Edit Scenes” function tap the “ENTER” button. The screen will then change to Edit Scene 001, this will be menu function 8-3-1. You can then press the “ENTER” button to begin to edit scene 1 or use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to toggle to access scenes 2-250.

• Once in the scene edit screen you have access to the functions listed below.

Tapping the “ENTER” button will instantly allow you to change the values of the selected function in real time. The values can be adjusted from 0~250. Once you achieved your desired value tap the “ENTER” button once again to automatically lock the value into the scenes memory. You can repeat the procedure for all functions listed below:

- “Auto Program” – Allows access to all 6 of the channel’s DMX traits.

- “Red” – adjust the cyan flag value



- “Green” – adjust the magenta flag value

- “Blue” – adjust the yellow flag value

- “Strobe” – adjust the strobe

- “Dimmer” – adjust the dimmer intensity

- “Scene Time” – set the hold time for the scene

- “Input By Out” – this function will store a scene from an external DMX console. See the next section for scene editing via an external DMX controller.

Step 1B – Building Scenes from an External DMX Controller

The fixture includes a simple built-in DMX recorder. This recorded allow you to build a scene using your own DMX console and then send that scene to the fixture to be stored inside one of the fixture scene storage banks. Many people may find this procedure easier and quicker than using the on board menu functions as in “Step 1.” To store a scene from an external

DMX controller follow the procedures below:

- Using your DMX control build and store scenes as you normally would.

- Once you have built all your required scenes, enter the fixtures main menu and toggle to

Step 2 – Editing Programs.

The control will store a maximum of 10 programs. A program can store one or a maximum of

64 scenes. Keep in mind that a scene can only be access when it is stored inside one of the

10 available programs. Follow the procedure below to build an internal program:

• Access the main menu and toggle to “Edit Programs” which is menu function 8.

• Then tap the “ENTER” button and toggle to “Program 1” menu function 8-2-1.

• When you get to the “Program 1” function tap the “ENTER” button. The screen will then change to Edit Steps 01, this will be menu function 8-2-1-1. Use the “UP” and

“DOWN” buttons to toggle through the scenes created in “Step 1.” Press the

“ENTER” button to add a scene to the program. Tapping the “Enter” button will automatically lock the selected scene into the programs’ memory. Repeat the process until all the desired scenes have been added to the program. Each program can store a maximum of 64 scenes.



• To test the program access “Program Test” in the “Program Edit” menu function.

Step 3 – Playing a Program

To initiate a program follow the procedure below:

• Access the main menu and use the “Up” and “Down” to toggle to “Function Mode” and tap the “Enter” button.

• In the next screen select “Auto Program” and tap the “Enter” button.

• There are now two selections, “Master” and “Alone.” Select “Master” when running multiple fixtures in a master/slave configuration. See section 10.2 “Master/ Slave

Operation” on page 26 for proper set-up instructions. Select “Alone” when running a single fixture or when multiple fixtures in stand-alone mode. See section 10.1

“Stand-Alone Operation” on page 26 for proper set-up instructions.
