(note DMX address settings can also be accessed from the home screen) see above
Mapping
The Mapping menu allows users to select which DMX map the luminaire will operate. The DMX mapping
options are:
• RGBW 16 (16 bit DMX mode - 15 Channels)*. See “RGBW 16 Bit Direct Mode (15 Channels)” on
page 23.
• RGBW 8 (8 bit DMX mode - 10 Channels)*. See “RGBW 8 Bit Direct Mode (10 Channels)” on
page 23.
• HSIC (HSIC mode - 10 Channels)*. See “HSIC Mode (10 Channels)” on page 23.
• RGB (RGB mode - 8 Channels)*. See “RGB Mode Map” on page 33.
*Fan channel must be set for DMX. See “Fan Control” on page 18.
When no DMX
When luminaire losses its DMX signal, users can select what the unit will do (upon the loss of signal). The
options are:
• Off (turn the luminaire off - no light output)
• Last Hold (hold the last look before signal was lost). Note, if DMX is lost and the luminaire is at zero
intensity (no output), it will remain (hold) at zero intensity.
• Power Up Preset (turns on the Power up Preset - See “Power up” on page 20.)
Dimming Curves
Note: Each dimming curve has a different low-end and high-end set point. If luminaries are set to different
dimming curves the luminaires will react very differently. To ensure consistent dimming between
luminaires, please set all AP-150 Par Luminaires to the same dimming curve.
• Linear: When set to Linear, the dimming curve is in direct relationship to the DMX value. For example, if
the DMX value of the DMX slider is at 25% of its range, then the signal to the luminaire (and its output)
will also be at 25%.
Figure 11: Linear Dimming Curve Example

Installation & User’s Manual AP-150 RGBW Par LED Luminaires
14 Menu System
• Incandescent: When set to Incandescent, the dimming curve, (also called a logarithmic curve by some
manufacturers), sets the luminaire to mimic a dimming effect that is perceived as linear (naturally
following an incandescent lamp fade).
Figure 12: Incandescent Dimming Curve Example
• Standard: When set to Standard, the dimming curve (also called Square by some manufacturers) results
in a dimming effect that follows a slow or soft bottom-end response and follows a linear line at the top
end.

• MFL (Medium Flood) 38°
• WFL (Wide Flood) 50°
• XWFL (Extra Wide Flood) 65°
Note: All other zoom beam spreads can be set using the Zoom Value setting.
Zoom control also allows for two different types of control either manual or DMX. These two modes can be
used during a lighting focus call to set to a specific zoom setting (beam diameter) for the fixture’s focus.
Zoom Control also allows for the Zoom to be “locked out” from DMX.
Note: Zoom control can also be accessed via RDM through a RDM controller or control channel. For RDM
information, see Table 13 on page 39.
IMPORTANT! If the fixture is set to either a Zoom Tab or Zoom Value Manually - upon power up of the
luminaire, the zoom will calibrate but return to the zoom value or zoom tab setting.
Zoom Value
Zoom Value ranges from 0 to 255. This value will change as the zoom settings are changed. Zoom Value
gives the ability for fine zoom adjustment settings between each Zoom Tab. Either the Zoom Tab or the
Zoom Value may be used to change the zoom settings manually.
Fan Control
Using the Menu buttons (see Figure 7 on page 11), you can move the pointer [>] on the screen to the
desired setting and press the ENTER button to select that setting. The following describes the settings in
the Fan Control Menu screen as shown in Figure 19.

DMX
When set to DMX, the unit follows the Fan Control in the DMX control channel (See "DMX Mapping and
Control" on page 23 for more information). This allows control of the fan during a production from the
control console.
Manual
• When set to Manual: Automatic, the fan varies with its speed (slowly increasing and decreasing fan
speed based upon the luminaire’s operating temperature).
• When set to a Manual: [DMX value], it will not allow the fixture to output past that set value.
