INTRODUCTION
WELCOME
Welcome to the Dyna Drum HO range from Acclaim Lighting. These rugged LED-powered
fixtures are designed to replace traditional external flood lights while using a fraction of the
power. Featuring a die-cast aluminum body throughout with full IP66 environmental rating,
these fixtures are built to last.
The Dyna Drum HO range consists of three main variants:
•White - 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K or 5700K emitters,
•Single Color Series - RGBW (W=4000K), RGBA, RGBAW (W=4000K), DW (2400K-5500K)*
•Quad Color - RGBW (W=3000K or 6000K)
External control using the DMX-
512A is supported either through
direct cable connection or via
the in-built Aria™ wireless DMX
receiver (transmitter available as an
optional extra).
A clear daylight-readable OLED
touch-screen user display provides access to a comprehensive configuration menu system
(see page 11). Alternatively, the industry standard RDM (Remote Device Management)
format can be used to configure the DMX start address and wireless channel (see page
20).
Dyna Drum HO fixtures feature automated operation when light levels fall below a certain
level together with a timer for auto shut off. The internal auto-sensing power supply can
accept mains inputs between 100 to 277VAC at 50 or 60Hz. Total power consumption
ranges from 200 to 250W depending on the model.
Optional spread lenses and snoots are available.
* Single Color Series (SCS) models feature individual single-color emitters (Red, Green, Blue, White
and/or Amber) which operate in unison to produce the required effect (as opposed to the Quad
Color models which use combined Chip On Board (COB) quad RGBW emitters.
SAFETY
•When fixtures are mounted off-ground, ensure that a suitably rated safety wire is used to
attach the fixture to a secure secondary point.
•Ensure that the power input is supplied from a correctly fused, earthed and
environmentally protected location.

INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE UNIT
Each Dyna Drum HO fixture includes a sturdy yoke mount with multiple holes in its base
for various fixing options. Dyna Drum HO fixtures weigh 30lbs (13.6Kg) - ensure that the
mounting surface and the fixings used are sufficiently rated for the task (including wind
shear forces).
Safety wire
anchor hole
IMPORTANT: When mounting a Dyna
Drum HO xture o ground, ensure
that a safety wire (with a SWL rating
of at least 30lbs (13.6Kg)) links the
anchor hole at the rear of the Dyna
Drum HO with a suitably sturdy
secondary xing point.
The yoke adjusters on each side of the
Dyna Drum HO require a 5/16”(8mm)
hex key to focus the fixture.
A useful angle chart is provided on each
side to assist with initial adjustment.
Use a 5/16” or
8mm hex key
Angle chart
When installing each Dyna Drum HO fixture, ensure that the surface
is level and that nothing is protruding to damage the mounting
yoke. The yoke has multiple mounting holes and is designed to
be surface mounted. Approved mounting surfaces include steel,
aluminum, concrete or wood structures. Bolts or screws (not
supplied) should be suitable for the surface (and the weight of the
fixture) and ensure a secure mount for the fixture.

USING A TENON MOUNT
Optional tenon mounts are available for use when a Dyna Drum HO needs to be mounted
on top of a vertical pole. Tenon mounts are available for use with 2”and 4” poles of sufficient
rigidity for the weight of the fixture.
IMPORTANT: Tenon mounts are
suitable only for vertical pole
mounting where the xture sits
on top of the pole. Tenon mounts
must NEVER be used to hang a
Dyna Drum HO below a pole. For
pendant-type installations, please
enquire about the Dyna Drum SO
pendant model.
TO USE A TENON MOUNT
1 Slide the tenon mount onto the
vertical pole and secure using the
two bolts on the side (6mm hex key
required).
2 Fix the Dyna Drum HO to the tenon
mount using the supplied main
bolt (17mm A/F wrench required)
and pan control bolt (6mm hex key
required) as shown right.
3 Where required, feed the mains/
control cable into one of the two
access holes and down the pole to
a suitable exit point.
4 Use a suitable silicone sealant to
cap off the cable access holes to
prevent water ingress.

FITTING A SPREAD LENS
You can widen the native beam angle using a spread
lens. It is possible to use both a spread lens and a
snoot. Fit the lens first and then add the snoot.
Tip: Adding accessories is much easier if the Dyna Drum
HO front face is pointing vertically upwards.
1 Using a 1/8”(3mm) hex key, remove the four bolts
that secure the front ring and remove the ring.
2 Remove the protective films on
each side of the lens and place
it into the inner ring of the
emitter face, with the
frosted side of the lens
must facing inwards
towards the emitters.
To allow water
drainage, the lens’
rubber surround must
face outwards and
be placed so that two of
the notches are vertically
aligned.
3 Replace the front ring, see
Refitting the front ring for
alignment details.
4 Tighten the bolts evenly.
IMPORTANT: The frosted
side of the lens must face
inwards to the emitters.
Imagine the front face as
a clock; ensure the four
notches of the rubber
surround are aligned at 12,
3, 6 and 9 o’clock.
REFITTING THE FRONT RING
To allow correct water drainage, when refitting the front ring, ensure that it is positioned
with notches located top and bottom on the vertical axis. To ensure correct positioning, find
the two extra locating holes in the front ring and align them with the locating pins on the
fixture’s front face. Insert and tighten the eight retaining bolts.

FITTING A SNOOT
Snoots help to reduce or eliminate light spill into unwanted areas. The
full and half snoots available from Acclaim Lighting are attached to
the Dyna Drum HO units in the same way. It is possible to use both a
spread lens and a snoot. Fit the lens first and then add the snoot.
Tip: Adding accessories is much easier if the Dyna Drum HO front face is
pointing vertically upwards.
1 Using a 1/8”(3mm) hex key, remove the eight bolts that secure the
front ring.
2 Remove the front ring and place
the snoot onto the front of the
fixture. The snoot mounting
holes must align with
the same threads that
are used by front ring.
There are also two
small holes either
side of the snoot that
must fit onto the small
locating pins either side
of the fixture.
3 Replace the front ring, see
Refitting the front ring for
alignment details.
4 Tighten the bolts evenly.

POWER AND CONTROL WIRING
The combined power and control cord (roughly five feet, 1.5m in length) enters the casing
via a water-tight gland at the rear of the fixture. The cord is supplied with bare tails.
The power cord color designations are as follows:
IN-RUSH CURRENT
Although LED fixtures are low power devices compared to their incandescent equivalents,
their power supplies exhibit a trait known as ‘in-rush current’when they are first powered
on. This is caused by the various components within the switching power supplies topping
themselves up with power. The in-rush current period lasts only milliseconds and does not
cause any effect when a handful of units are powered on at the exact same time. However,
if many fixtures are linked to the same power input, they will momentarily pull a current that
may greatly exceed their normal operating level. This may affect over-current trips when
power is applied. For this reason it is advisable to limit the number of fixtures on any one
power input.
