PREPARATION FOR USE
AC power connection
Luminaire must be powered with 100-240V and 50/60Hz. This fixture will automatically detect the alternating current frequency. To turn on the fixture, simply plug in the powerCON. Use only high quality 3 x 2.5 mm2 or larger mains power cords. Inspect all the power feed cables for damages before use. Make sure to always connect the fixtures to a protected circuit with an appropriate electrical ground. Never connect the fixture to a dimmer plug, even if it supplies proper current.
Only qualified electricians following all known electrical regulations can install the fixtures.
Luminaire comes with a power input cord terminated with powerCON TRUE1 on one end and tube connectors on the other end. Follow the rules from the table below to assemble the power plug to the wire:
| Connection | EU wires | US wires | |
| Live | L | Brown | Black |
| Neutral | N | Blue | White |
| Earth | PE | Green/Yellow | Green or Green/Yellow |
CAUTION! Do not use the power cord without a plug attached!
CAUTION! Always double-check the wire with a plug attached before use!
REMEMBER! Only a qualified person can change or install the plug!
INSTALLATION
Before mounting the luminaire, read and follow all the safety instructions given in the Safety Information.
The luminaire can be mounted on a tripod, clamp or floor base. The luminaire has a 13 mm (0.512 inch) diameter hole for the clamp, mounting screw and two CAMLOC connectors . Before mounting, make sure that the structure on which the luminaires are mounted can support the weight of all the luminaires. Verify that the location where you want to place the fixture has enough space for ventilation, setup and maintenance. Secure each suspended fixture with a suitable safety cable. Make sure that no people are under the work area when hanging the equipment.
The device can be placed in any position, except in the direction of the rigging structure. The main part can rotate 360° in the yoke. Be sure that the power and DMX cables do not touch the surface of the device. Always maintain a safe distance from the nearest object.
REMEMBER! Always secure the hung fixture with safety wire!
CAUTION! Incorrect installation may result in the device falling and may damage it or cause damage to other objects!
Use the side handles to adjust the position of the device when setting it to the desired angle. Before adjusting them, loosen them by turning counterclockwise and set the desired angle. After adjusting the position, tighten the handles by turning them clockwise. The adjustment range is 360 degrees with increments of 5 degrees. Handle the handles carefully and only by hand. Tools may damage them.
CAUTION! Make sure the handle is loose enough not to damage the tooth mechanism.
The device is equipped with a front aperture, which can be mounted in one of 8 positions on the front of the device. The aperture is held in place by magnets. In addition, it is equipped with a safety cord (safety), which should always be attached to the device during installation.
Operation modes
The luminaire can work in three operation modes: DMX, INFLUENCER and FOLLOWER. DMX mode is designed to work with DMX consoles. INFLUENCER mode is designed to operate the fixture manually, without an external controlling signal. In the INFLUENCER mode, the fixture sends a controlling signal on the DMX output socket. The signal can control other units in FOLLOWER mode. Please consider that unit in INFLUENCER mode connected to a regular DMX chain can corrupt DMX signal quality. The FOLLOWER mode allows you to control the fixture with the control signal sent from a uni
t in INFLUENCER mode. However, the DMX signal has got the highest priority and the fixture always reacts to the connected DMX signal regardless of the operating mode.
t in INFLUENCER mode. However, the DMX signal has got the highest priority and the fixture always reacts to the connected DMX signal regardless of the operating mode.
| Event | Operating Mode | ||
| DMX | Influencer | Follower | |
| DMX wire connected | Reacts to DMX | Reacts to DMX | Reacts to DMX |
| CRMX connected | Reacts to CRMX | Stays in INFLUENCER Mode | Receives control signal from INFLUENCER unit |
| CRMX disconnected | Keeps last DMX frame | Gets back to the last Macro or Manual setting | Receives control signal from INFLUENCER unit |
| After power reset | All values default | Gets back to the last Macro or Manual setting | Receives control signal from INFLUENCER unit |
There are three ways to operate the fixture in the DMX OPERATING MODE. You can use DMX input signal, onboard manual control or CRMX input signal to control the fixture(if the CRMX card is installed). You can link the fixture to a DMX controller using a 5 pin DMX wire, or CRMX hardware (if the CRMX card is installed). The fixture has 8 DMX personalities and it supports RDM. In DMX mode fixture will not remember the manual settings after a reset is performed.
To remember the manual settings you have to use INFLUENCER mode. You can set any lighting scene using the manual control section in the fixture’s menu or play build-in macros. The fixture always switches to DMX when a DMX wire is connected. After disconnecting DMX in INFLUENCER mode the fixture always goes back to the last macro/manual setting. After a power reset the unit remembers the last manual/macro settings. If you are going to control the fixture by onboard manual control it is recommended to use INFLUENCER OPERATING MODE.
RDM
RDM (Remote Device Management) is an enhancement of the DMX 512 protocol and allows bi-directional communication between DMX consoles and fixtures. It works simultaneously with DMX 512 and on the same lines and wires. RDM is not affecting non-RDM devices in a line however, non-RDM devices can disrupt communication with the console. RDM allows you to change the fixture’s options (such as DMX address) without even touching neither ladder or fixture’s buttons. The fixture fully supports the RDM standards.
Manual operation
The fixture works in manual operation when it’s not receiving DMX signal whether wired or wireless. You can adjust the brightness of all LED sources at once from the main screen, or you can control each source individually from the “CONTROL ME MANUALLY” option in the menu (refer to the “Menu” chapter to learn how to manually control channels). To enter the menu simply press “ENTER”.
DMX 512
The fixture automatically switches into DMX mode after receiving DMX data. To learn how to change the DMX address or signal source (wired or wireless) refer to the “Menu” chapter. When the fixture works in the wired DMX mode You can daisy chain fixtures using 5 pin DMX wires. When daisy-chaining remember, that you can connect up to 32 devices per DMX 512 universe. Always terminate the DMX 512 line. Put the 120 Ω terminator into the last device’s DMX OUT XLR socket.
When the unit is in wireless mode (only when a CRMX card is installed), it receives the DMX 512 signal from the wireless transmitters and can send the signal through the 5-pin DMX OUT XLR jack. A device with a CRMX card installed can be placed first in line and used as a CRMX receiver. The device supports a two-way CRMX TRX module. This means that the device also supports RDM in wireless mode. To connect the device to a CRMX transmitter, first use the “UNPAIR ALL WDMX DEVICES” option from the menu, and then enable scan mode on the transmitter. The transmitter will connect to all unconnected devices. For more detailed information, please refer to the transmitter's manual.
REMEMBER! Always terminate DMX line!
MENU
Navigation buttons are located under the LCD on the back panel. To enter the menu press the “Enter” button. To navigate the menu use the “+” and “-“ buttons. To exit the menu from any level press “ESC”. For confirming simply push the enter button.
Portman Colour Feedback System (CFS)™
Luminaire is equipped with Portman Colour Feedback System™. The navigation buttons under the OLED screen are highlighted with RGB LEDs. The Portman CFS allows you to check the fixture status without even touching the display or buttons. There are few possibilities:
| Button colour | Fixture state |
| Green | Fixture receives DMX signal |
| Cyan | Fixture receives wireless DMX signal |
| Red flashing | The fixture is in DMX operating mode, but there is no DMX no wireless DMX signal detected |
| Magenta | The fixture is in INLUENCER operating mode and there is no DMX signal detected |
| Yellow | The fixture is no DMX and the operating mode is set to FOLLOWER |
The Portman Colour Feedback System™ also works when operating menus. As you move through the menu, the buttons change colors. At the first level of the menu, the buttons are blue. When you start editing a parameter in the menu, the buttons turn red and start flashing. Note that any changes will not be saved until they are confirmed with the “ENTER” button.
