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.
Connecting Power
The PHX Series LED Luminaires are powered via an AC input cable from 100 to 240VAC, 50/60Hz and draw approximately:
• PHX1 / PHX 1.5 LED Luminaires: 150 Watts
• PHX2 LED Luminaires: 250 Watts
• PHX3 / PHX 3.5 LED Luminaires: 340 Watts

Connecting DMX
The PHX LED Series Luminaires offers two DMX512 connections. One for DMX Input (from a DMX source) and one DMX through-
put (out). Basic DMX512 installation consists of connecting multiple DMX controlled PHX LED Series 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 luminaire another cable runs to the DMX IN connector on the next luminaire (or
DMX512 device to be controlled).
At the end of each DMX Daisy chain, it is highly recommended that a DMX TERMINATOR (Altman
Lighting part number DMX-5-TERM) is installed 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).

cessories can be used, how to install them and how to use the variousfeatures of the fixture.
CAUTION: When installing accessories, it is best practice to do so with the fixture on a flat and stable work surface.
If this is not possible, when installing accessories when the fixture is mounted above, be sure to install the acces-
sory 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.

Zoomable models offer users the ability to zoom the lens to various beam angles (refer to the model purchased for available beam
angles).
Setting Zoom (Beam Angle)
Position the fixture as needed, loosen, but do not remove, the lens zoom knob (refer to Figure 6). Slide lens forwards or backwards
until desired zoom is achieved. After zoom is set as desired, hand-tighten the zoom knob. Once beam angel is set, hand-tighten lens
zoom knob. Proceed to adjust focus (if required).

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.
NOTE: To avoid damage to the fixture, insert the flat side of the accessory towards the shutters
Drop In Iris Slot
NOTE: PHX fixed model shown. Drop in iris slot same for all
models.
Figure 10: 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.
Figure 11: Gobo / Soft Focus Lens Adapter Slot
Gobo / Soft Focus Lens Adapter Slot
Note: PHX fixed focus model shown. Gobo/soft focus lens
adapter slot same for all models.
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 after image 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

Log
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%.
Linear

logarithmic curve by some manufacturers), sets the luminaire
to mimic a dimming effect that is perceived as linear (natu-
rally following an incandescent lamp fade).

Square: When set to Square, the dimming curve (also
called Standard 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. (Default)
