Some parts of the luminaire can reach a high temperature, particularly the
body/radiator. Turn off the luminaire and wait for it to cool before handling.
CONDITIONS OF USE
Your VERSAPIX-RS is a static luminaire equipped with 5 LED intended for
professional use (e.g., architectural, stage, television, theater, or museum
lighting).

USER MANUAL _ 5
The VERSAPIX-RS luminaire has an IP20 protection rating. It is intended
strictly for indoor use. It must never be partially or fully submerged, even
temporarily.
Condensation may form on your VERSAPIX-RS in the following cases:
• Immediately after turning on the heating
• In places with fog or a high level of humidity
• When the luminaire is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm
environment, or vice versa.
In such cases, you must wait until the luminaire readjusts to the ambient
temperature of the room where it will be installed for operation.
Do not shake the VERSAPIX-RS while installing or handling.
Do not pull the VERSAPIX-RS by one of its cables to move it. Lift the
luminaire by its handles.
Choosing the appropriate place to install the VERSAPIX-RS is essential.
The following points should be observed:
• Do not expose it to a heat source.
• Do not install it near flammable materials.
• Be sure that dust or miscellaneous debris cannot clump around the
body of the luminaire as this may interfere with its optimal cooling and
proper operation.
• The VERSAPIX-RS must be installed out of reach of the public and all
persons not authorized to operate the luminaire.
We recommend a minimum distance of 20 cm between the outside
surface of the light and the illuminated object.
Due to the nature of its cooling principle, you should never prevent air from
circulating around the body of the luminaire. You must provide a minimum
clearance of 20 cm around your VERSAPIX-RS to allow for cooling.
The VERSAPIX-RS can be installed in a ground pit or any other confined
enclosure only under certain conditions. With this kind of installation, a
system of forced ventilation should be used up to allow air to circulate
freely around the luminaire(s). The air must be constantly renewed
because the luminaire cannot be operated in closed system. Failure to
comply with these requirements may destroy or prematurely wear the
VERSAPIX-RS, and AYRTON cannot be held responsible. Please consult
your AYRTON dealer for more information on this type of installation.
No load should be placed on the VERSAPIX-RS. The fixture must not be
installed in such a way as to allow a person, vehicle or any object to run
over or park on it.
Never lay or drop any hard, heavy, or blunt, objects on the VERSAPIX-RS.
This includes items made of glass or porcelain (e.g., bottles, dishware,
or glass beads). The luminaire is made of materials such as plastic and
extruded aluminum, making it resistant but not unbreakable. Objects
made of hard materials such as steel or glass that fall on the unit may
cause breakage of the plastic parts or the body. AYRTON cannot be held
responsible for the luminaire’s broken plastic parts or body, which are not
covered under warranty.
The temperature of the room where the VERSAPIX-RS is installed must
never exceed 45°C (Ta = 45°C).
The VERSAPIX-RS luminaire requires a 110-240 VAC supply voltage.
Check that your luminaires have been installed for an application that is
compatible with this information.
Check that the bracket on which you hang or attach your VERSAPIX-RS
can sustain the weight of the luminaire (8,8 kg), taking into consideration
all necessary safety factors.
Do not use your VERSAPIX-RS before being familiar with these
recommendations and do not allow unqualified personnel to handle the
product.
To transport your VERSAPIX-RS, we strongly recommend that you use the
complete original packaging, including the dense protective foam inserts.
If your VERSAPIX-RS is not being used for a long period, you should
disconnect the luminaire from the power source.
Never dispose of the VERSAPIX-RS in a rubbish bin. Ensure that it is
recycled. Please consult the current legislation in your country on recycling
electronic equipment.
WARNING!
The number of daisy chain, or tandem,connections to the VERSAPIX-
RS (power input and output sockets on the luminaires) is limited for
safety reasons. The maximum authorized number of connections is
as follows, with the power line protected by a 10A circuit breaker.
• 10 VERSAPIX-RS units on the same source at 230 VAC or
• 5 VERSAPIX-RS units on the same source at 110 VAC
PRESENTATION AND FEATURES
VERSAPIX-RS is a non-waterproof moving head wash light (IP20
protection rating) using the latest generation of high-performance of
LED-type lamps.
This luminaire can be controlled remotely by an external DMX512 signal.
The VERSAPIX-RS incorporates multi-chip LED using 4 colors: Red,
green, blue and white.
This color-light luminaire operates on the CMY additive color principle
and along with white light can potentially render a palette of 4.2 billion
colors.
The VERSAPIX-RS has a total of 5 LED. The luminaire requires from 6
to 29 DMX channels to be controlled via an external command system
that sends a DMX512 signal (see below for details).
To adjust the settings on the VERSAPIX-RS (i.e., DMX address, DMX
operating mode and other options), a Remote Device Management
(RDM)-type DMX controller may be required. The DMX RDM protocol is
a universal, widely used standard.
There are a multitude of RDM DMX controllers on the market from different
manufacturers (excluding AYRTON). It is worth noting that an RDM DMX
controller is not required to change the settings on the VERSAPIX-
RS. A light console or any standard DMX-type controller is sufficient.

USER MANUAL _ 6
The VERSAPIX-RS consists of a metal frame and plastic covers. The
power connectors and DMX512 signal connectors are on the back of
the fixture’s base.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
During installation please observe the instructions according to
GB7000.15 / EN60598-2-17 standards and other national
standards applicable. This luminaire should be installed by a
qualified technician.
The fixture should be used in an environment with a temperature
between -5°C and +45°C. Do not operate the luminaire outside this
temperature range.
The luminaire must be hung so that the weight of this unit multiplied by
10 can be sustained for 1 hour without causing the suspension system
or the supporting structure to be deformed.
The installation must always be secured at a second attach point, e.g.,
by a safety cable of the appropriate size.
Do not stand under the luminaire while it is being installed, dismantled
or serviced.
The operator must ensure that a qualified technician has approved the
installation of the luminaire for safety before it is first operated.
Installation should be inspected once a year by a qualified technician.
WARNING!
The installation of this luminaire must be validated by a qualified
technician before it is used for the first time.
Note:
The luminaire should be installed in a location where the public cannot,
touch, walk or sit on the luminaire.
Suspending the luminaire and/or installing it high up requires considerable
experience, e.g., calculating load, selecting and adapting quality fastening
materials, and periodically inspecting the entire installation. Without this
skill and knowledge, do not attempt to install this unit by yourself. Improper
installation may cause an accident resulting in personal injury or death.
WARNING!
The luminaire should be connected to an electrical source by a
qualified electrician.
Before installing the luminaire make sure that the selected installation
spot can support at least 10 times the weight of the unit. Connect the
luminaire to the power source by the power cord.
INSTALLATION METHOD USING TRUSS HOOKS
Refer to the following diagram when installing the VERSAPIX-RS with truss
hoos using omega bracket:
• Attach the clamp to the yoke using an M12 screw.
• Insert the safety cable into one hole of the yoke and attach the safety
cable to the truss.

USER MANUAL _ 7
Note: The last step is very important to ensure that the luminaire does
not fall
DMX512 CONNECTION
Connect the DMX input (XLR connector) cable of the luminaire to the DMX
output (female XLR connector) of your controller. You can connect multiple
luminaires to this same DMX line in a daisy chain. The DMX cable must
be a shielded twisted pair that is equipped with male and female XLR
connectors.
Refer to the following diagram when connecting the VERSAPIX-RS
luminaires in a daisy chain:
Address 41 Address 21 Address 1
DMX512 CONNECTION WITH TERMINATION PLUG
For installations where the DMX cable must extend over long distances,
or if it is located near areas with major electrical disturbance, it is
recommended to use a DMX termination plug. This helps prevent
luminaires from malfunctioning due to interference. The DMX termination
plug, composed simply of a male XLR input connector with a 120-Ohm
resistor, is soldered between pins 2 and 3. This plug must be connected
to the DMX output of the last luminaire in the chain.
Refer to the following diagram:
THE VERSAPIX-RS DMX ADDRESS SETTING
All luminaires have a DMX start address correctly set when using a
DMX signal to control them. The DMX start address is the channel from
which the luminaire “listens” to the digital control information sent by
the DMX controller.
The start address must conform to the one recorded on the DMX
controller to run the luminaire. This address is the DMX value that
appears on the luminaire’s display. You can set the same address for all
the luminaires, or some of them, but you can also set a different address
for each luminaire, as needed.
If you do set the same address for all the luminaires, they will all “listen”
from the DMX channel you have set. The instructions sent by the DMX
controller will affect all luminaires at the same time. If you set a different
address per luminaire, the DMX controller can control each of them
independently.
If, for instance, the fixtures are preset in 29-channels DMX mode
(required for full control), you will need to adjust the DMX address for
the luminaires as follows: The first unit with DMX address 001, the
second with DMX address 30 (29 + 1), the third with DMX address 59
(29 + 30), etc.
CONTROL PANEL (MENU OPTIONS)

A MASTER fixture can send up to 3 different sets of data to a SLAVE
fixture (e.g., a MASTER fixture can control 3 different SLAVE fixtures which
will each perform 3 different programs). The MASTER fixture sends the 3
programs in a continuous loop.
The SLAVE fixture receives data from the MASTER fixture according to the
group to which the SLAVE fixture is assigned. For example, if the SLAVE
fixture has been assigned to “Slave 1” in the menu “Set to Slave”, the
MASTER fixture sends “Auto Program Part 1” to this SLAVE fixture. If it
was assigned to “Slave 2”, the SLAVE fixture would receive the program
“Auto Program Part 2” from the MASTER fixture.
To launch a program, follow this procedure:
1. Slave Settings - SLAVE fixture adjustment

ERROR MESSAGES
When you turn on the VERSAPIX-RS, it will first perform an automatic reset.
The display may show “Err channel is XX” indicating there is a problem
with one or more of the channels. “XX” represents channel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
or 6, which contain the testing sensor for positioning. For example, the
message, “Err channel is Red LED”, indicates an error in channel 1. The
system will flash twice, and the fixture will generate a second reset. If the
error message persists after more than two resets, the channels showing
errors will not work properly but the other channels will function normally.
Please contact your authorized dealer or manufacturer for service and do
not attempt to repair the luminaire yourself.

USER MANUAL _ 13
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The care and maintenance of your VERSAPIX-RS should be ensured
by a qualified technician. Your VERSAPIX-RS requires regular servicing.
The frequency depends essentially on its operating conditions and
environment. Intensive use in a dusty environment, or a lack of ventilation
around the fixture, may disrupt operation, result in overheating and cause
damage that is not covered by the warranty.
WARNING!
Disconnect from mains before servicing.
UPDATING THE LUMINAIRE
Ayrton is continually upgrading this product line. It is therefore possible
that a new software version is available that will increase the unit’s
capabilities.
Updates are performed using Ayrton’s update box. Contact your dealer for
more information.
To display the version of your device, go into the “Info” menu and select
“Software version” (see options details under the “INFO” menu). It is
advisable to use the same software version for multiple fixtures.
CLEANING
Your VERSAPIX-RS requires cleaning at regular intervals. Be aware that
accumulated dust and residue on the air vents, body and glass of the
fixture may reduce efficiency and impair proper operation.
Before cleaning, disconnect the power cable from source.
Use compressed air to blow away dust particles accumulated on and
between the cooling fins at the rear of the luminaire’s optical system.
Clean the glass of the fixture with a slightly damp soft cloth. When
necessary, use a non-alcohol-based glass cleaner. Never use harsh
solvents!
WARNING!
Never use alcohol or any chemical agent to clean the optical system
of an Ayrton product.

Your installation should be checked regularly by certified service center.
In addition, the following should be checked once a year by a qualified
technician:
• The fixture’s attachment system must be correctly installed and show
no sign of corrosion.
