PREPARATION FOR USE

AC power connection

Luminaire must be powered with 200- 240V and 50/60Hz. This fixture will automatically detect the alternating current frequency. To turn on the fixture, simply plug in the powerCON TRUE1 and set the power switch to “ON”. 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:

Installation

Before mounting the fixture, read and follow all safety recommendations indicated in the Safety Information.
The Luminaire may be installed on attached base (also using the size adaptor), hang on 2 points on the back of the fixture using rigging clamps or hang using hanging adaptor. The fixture and the hanging adaptor have 15 mm hole for spigot or rigging clamp. Before rigging operations make sure, that the structure onto which you are mounting the fixtures can withstand the weight of all of the fixtures. Check if there is enough room for ventilation, configuration and maintenance in a location where you want to place the fixture. You must secure every hanged fixture with appropriate safety wire.
CAUTION! Incorrect installation may result in the device falling and may damage it or cause damage to other objects!
REMEMBER! Always secure hanged fixture with safety wire!
REMEMBER! Always use attached spigots and cotters to install or hang the fixture using base, height adaptor or hanging adaptor.
REMEMBER! Never use more than one unit on base or on hanging clamp without additional safety support.

To change the angle of the fixture’s hinge, use the rounded spigot. Always hold both parts of the fixture!

  1. pull the rounded spigot,
  2. change the position,
  3. lock the spigot in the right hole,
  4. check the lock.
Each arm can be moved from -30deg to +120deg.
REMEMBER! Never change position of hinges without additional safety support. 

Lamp and fuse replacement

  1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power.
  2. Make sure the fixture and lamps are cool.
  3. Open the front cover by releasing a screw located on top of the front cover.
  4. Gently push the lamp towards one of the mounting brackets and remove the used lamp by pulling it up.
  5. Put the new lamp onto the mounting brackets.
  6. Do not touch the new lamp with bare hands. Use gloves or a cloth to hold the lamp.
  7. Close the front cover and fasten the screw before applying power.

REMEMBER! Always use safety glasses to protect your eyes when changing a lamp!

Inspect the front covers and the front cover safety mesh before you use the fixture. If
you will notice any damages, holes in the mesh, or if the mesh will get loose, do not use
the fixture and immediately swap the front cover for a new one.

To replace the fuse:
  1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power.
  2. Make sure the fixture is cool.
  3. Fuses are located on the back cover of the fixture.
  4. To unscrew the fuse holder use “flat-blade” screwdriver. First gently push the cover of the fuse holder and rotate it a quarter turn clockwise.
  5. After you unlock cover of the fuse holder pull it up and replace the fuse.
  6. Put the cover with new fuse back to the fuse holder, gently push it with screwdriver in the proper orientation and rotate it a quarter turn counterclockwise.

Operation modes

The Portman P2 hexaline can work in three operation modes: Wired DMX mode, Wireless DMX mode (if the WDMX card is installed) and standalone mode. You can link The P2 hexaline to a DMX controller using a 5 or 3 pin DMX wire, or Wireless Solution Sweden hardware (if WDMX card is installed). You can control each channel individually whether with a DMX controller or a manual control build in the fixture. The P2 hexaline has got only one 6-channel DMX personality and it does support RDM.

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 filaments at once from main screen, or you can control each source individually from the “MANUAL CONTROL” option in the menu (refer to the “Menu” chapter to learn how to manually control channels).  To enter menu simply hold enter for 2 seconds. 

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 or 3 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 last device’s DMX OUT XLR socket

When the fixture is being operated in the wireless mode (only when the WDMX card is installed) it is receiving DMX 512 signal from Wireless Solution Sweden transmitters and can send the signal throughout the 5-pin DMX OUT XLR socket. You can put the fixture with the WDMX card installed as the first fixture in a line and use it as a WDMX receiver. The fixture supports a bi-directional WDMX TRX module. It means, that the fixture supports RDM in wireless mode too. To link fixture with the WDMX transmitter first use the “UNPAIR ALL WDMX DEVICES” option from the menu, then turn the scanning mode on the transmitter. The transmitter will link with all unlinked devices. For more detailed information please refer to your transmitter’s user manual.

REMEMBER! Always terminate DMX line!

MENU

Navigation buttons are located under the LCD display on the back panel. To enter the menu hold enter button for 2 seconds. To navigate the menu use the “+” and “-“ buttons. To exit the menu from any level hold enter for 2 seconds or use the exit function. For confirming simply push the enter button.
