Opti RGBA Set Up

P ower Supply: The Elation Opti RGBA contains a automatic voltage switch, which will auto sense the voltage when it is plugged into the power source. With this switch there is no need to worry about the correct power voltage, this unit can be plugged in anywhere.

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. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture

COMMON via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminal).

DMX -

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several

DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which 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 a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation):

The Opti RGBA has 6 DMX Channel Modes. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the rear panel of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a approved DMX-512 110 Ohm Data cable for data input and data output. We recommend Accu-Cable DMX cables. If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard

110-120 Ohm shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all professional sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Set Up

Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and

DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator

(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-

512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Opti RGBA Master-Slave Configuration

Master-Slave Operation:

This function will allows you to link units together to run in a Master-Slave mode. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units built-in programs. Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave however, only one unit can be programmed to act as the “Master.”

Master-Slave Connections and Settings:

1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the rear of the unit.

Use standard XLR data cables to link your units together. Remem-

ber that the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR

connector is the ouput. The first unit in the chain (master) will use

the female XLR connector only. The last unit in the chain will use the

male XLR connector only.

2. Set the “Master” unit to your desired mode or operation.

3. For the “Slave” unit(s), set the display to and DMX channel mode.

Example: Set the unit to 4 channel mode, the display should read

“3000” or any variables, i.e “3001”, “3002 etc..

4. Connect the “Slave” unit or units and they will automatically start to

follow the “Master.”

Opti RGBA Cleaning

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output.

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the

outside casing.

2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth

every 20 days.

3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging

the unit back in.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).

Opti RGBA Trouble Shooting

Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter, with solutions.

Unit not responding to DMX:

1. Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are

wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices

pin 2 may be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected

to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs

and outputs are connected.

Unit does not respond to sound:

1. Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit.
