INSTALLATION AND SET UP
Power Requirements
WARNING! PHX Series LED Luminaires should be connected to a constant circuit or a relay device. They
should never be connected to a dimmer or circuit controlled by a dimmer. Read this section carefully on
how to properly connect your fixture.
WARNING! When using the daisy-chain connection method, only connect your PHX LED Luminaire to AC
output connection of other PHX LED Luminaires. DO NOT CONNECT OTHER TYPES OF LUMINAIRES
OR DEVICES! The maximum allowable of number of PHX LED Luminaires that can be daisy-chained on
one power feed should not exceed the first fixture’s 16 Amp output power rating. Refer to Table 1 for
maximum number of PHX LED Luminaires on one daisy chain power feed.
Table 1: Daisy Chain Limits of PHX Series LED Luminaires
WARNING! The wiring information in Table Note: is shown for field wiring information and must be
performed by a qualified and licensed electrician. Before performing any field wiring, refer to and read the
warnings contained in "Important Information" on page 1.

• PHX1 LED Luminaires: 150 Watts
• PHX2 LED Luminaires: 250 Watts
• PHX3 LED Luminaires: 340 Watts
of power. Table 2, outlines the wire colors and their purpose.

Connecting to the DMX512 Network 9
PHX Series LED Luminaires Installation & User’s Manual
Figure 3: PowerCON (Blue AC Input) Connector Wiring
Connecting to the DMX512 Network
Basic DMX512 installation consists of connecting multiple DMX controlled PHX Series LED Luminaires
together (up to 32 Total devices per DMX string) in “daisy-chain” fashion. A cable runs from the DMX512
control source to the DMX INPUT connection on the first luminaire. From the DMX OUTPUT of the first
luminaire, another cable runs to the DMX INPUT connector on the next luminaire (or DMX512 device to be
controlled), and so on.
IMPORTANT! At the end of each DMX Daisy chain, it is highly recommended that a DMX TERMINATOR
(Altman Lighting part number DMX-MPHX-TERM) is utilized on the last luminaire (or device) in the chain.
For more information on installing DMX512 control systems, the following publication is available for
purchase from the United States Institute for Theatre Technology (USITT), “Recommended Practice for
DMX512: A Guide for Users and Installers, 2nd edition” (ISBN: 9780955703522). USITT Contact
Information: www.usitt.org.
XLR Connectors
For wiring 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX Input / Output, refer to Table 3.
Note: * Only those pins shown are used. Remaining pins on connectors are not used.
Installation
Installing and using any PHX Series LED Luminaire is the same as most theatrical fixtures. Installers and
users of these fixtures should adhere to all local and national safety codes when installing them. The PHX
Series LED Luminaire are supplied with a c-clamp and safety cable (see "Accessories" on page 5 for
additional information). These items, as well as the luminaire itself, should be inspected periodically to
make sure they are in good working order.
This section provides a basic overview of how to install the PHX Series LED Luminaire in truss or on pipe
using the provided c-clamp.
Note: The supply cord and connecting
cord should be minimum 14AWG, extra-
hard-usage types such as Type G, S, SE,

sure to install the accessory with no one below the fixture in the event the accessory is dropped.
Note: There are many aftermarket accessories for Altman Lighting products available through third-party
suppliers. When considering these aftermarket accessories, we suggest that you consult with your Altman
Regional Sales Manager beforehand regarding capability and effects on product performance.

14 Installation and Set Up
Drop In Iris Slot (All Models)
Each PHX LED Luminaire’s lens has a large opening for a drop in iris or motorized pattern device / gobo
rotator (by others). This slot has a retractable cover in order to prevent light leak when not in use and
should be closed as far as possible when in use.
IMPORTANT! To avoid damage to the fixture, insert the flat side of the accessory towards the shutters.
Figure 11: Drop In Iris Slot
Gobo / Soft Focus Lens Adapter Slot (All Models)
Each PHX LED Luminaire’s lens has an opening for a gobo holder (templates and gobos by others or for
the soft focus lens adapter (supplied with unit).
You must follow the gobo manufacturer’s instructions on how to handle and use a gobo in your fixture.
Always place the most reflective side towards the light source.
The unit is also supplied with a soft focus lens. The soft focus lens is a pattern holder with s special lens
material that allows the LED fixture to appear like a conventional ellipsoidal. The matte side of the material
should face the LED light source - shiny side towards the front of the lens.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT sandwich metal gobos in the soft focus lens pattern holder or damage may occur.

Yoke Assembly 15
PHX Series LED Luminaires Installation & User’s Manual
Notes:
• Recommended practice when using metal gobos - depending upon the complexity of the pattern - it may
be possible to view an afterimage of the gobo if shutters are used in conjunction with the gobo. If an
afterimage is seen, it is recommended to black out the steel pattern using high temperature black spray
paint or request this process from the gobo manufacturer.
• If the image requires extremely sharp-focused edges it is always recommended that a Donut is
installed to help with image quality.
• For fixed focus units 19, 26, 36, and 50 degree models, use part number 4.5-DN
• For zoomable focus models, use part number 6-DN
• For 10 degree models, use part number 10-DN
• For 5 degree models, use part number 12-DN
Yoke Assembly
Setting Tilt Angle
The yoke assembly is easily set as needed. Simply loosen (but do not remove) both yoke tilt locking knobs,
set tilt angle as desired, and retighten - by hand - yoke tilt locking knobs.
Figure 13: Yoke Assembly
Short Yoke Position
The yoke assembly has two sets of mounting holes to decrease the distance of the hanging position. To
set the unit to a short yoke position, you will need a 1/4-inch hex head (Allen) wrench (by others).
To reposition the yoke assembly to short yoke position:
Step 1. Place fixture on a flat, sturdy work surface. Remove power from fixture.
Step 2. At yoke tilt lock knobs, remove both tilt lock knobs and associated hardware. Set aside for
