Getting It Out Of the Box
Congratulations on purchasing the Motif™ Risplendi 150. Now that you’ve got
your xture, you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents to
ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as if
it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the
packing material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing
materials. If a xture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the
xture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Powering Up!
All xtures must be powered directly o a switched circuit and cannot be run
o a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat
or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.
Warning! All xtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable
Ground (Earthing).
Getting A Hold Of Us

Fuse Replacement
Remove the fuse holder from of its housing. Take out the damaged fuse from its
holder and replace with exact same type of fuse.
Power Inputs
This xture comes with a powerCON® TRUE1™ compatible power input and a
3-wire power terminal block connector located under the "Int. Power In" cover
plate on the rear of the xture that can be used for hardwiring power.
Depending on which method you use, adjust the external/internal power switch
on the back of the unit to select the proper input source.
Before replacing the fuse, disconnect the power cord.
ALWAYS replace it with the same type and rating.
3. SETUP
Connecting the Fixtures
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. Also,
connecting more than 32 xtures on one serial data link without the use of a
DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the signal.
Data/DMX Cabling
To link xtures together you’ll need data cables. You should use data-grade
cables that can carry a high quality signal.
The data cable should have the following characteristics:
• 2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
• Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.
• Maximum capacitance between conductor & shield – 55 pF/ft.
• Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.
• Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms
Connection Wire (U.S.) Wire (Europe) Screw Color
AC Live Black Brown Yellow or Brass
AC Neutral White Blue Silver
AC Ground Green/Yellow Green/Yellow Green
Use the table below for reference when using the bare wire:

Cable Connectors
Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connec-
tor on the other end. (Duh!)
To build your own DMX Terminator:
Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor, and wire it between pins 2 & 3 of the last xture. They are also
readily available from specialty retailers.
Take It To The Next Level: Setting Up DMX Control
Step 1: Connect the male connector of the DMX cable to the female connector
(output) on the controller.
Step 2: Connect the female connector of the
DMX cable to the rst xture’s male connector
(input).
Note: It doesn’t matter which xture address is the rst one
connected. We recommend connecting the xtures in terms
of their proximity to the controller, rather than connecting the
lowest xture number rst, and so on.
Step 3: Connect other xtures in the chain
from output to input as above. Place a DMX
terminator on the output of the nal xture to
ensure best communication.
CAUTION: Do not allow contact between the common and the xture’s chassis
ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your xture may
perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and
to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
3-Pin??? 5-Pin??? Huh?!?
If you use a controller with a 3-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 3-pin to 5-pin adapter. If
you’d like to build your own, the chart below details a proper cable conversion:
Conductor 3-Pin Female (Output) 5-Pin Male (Input)
Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1
Data 1- (Primary Data) Pin 2 Pin 2
Data 1+ (Primary Data) Pin 3 Pin 3
Data 2- (Optional) -- Pin 4 - Do Not Use
Data 2+ (Optional) -- Pin 5 - Do Not Use

A Word on Termination:
DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however
errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal
errors, and therefore best practices include use of a
terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing
problems with erratic xture behavior, especially over
long signal cable runs, a terminator may help improve
performance.

Thumbscrew
Lens Holder Brackets
Snoot
(sold separately)
Installing or Removing Brackets
1.) Install or remove the brackets as shown above us-
ing the included bolts, washers, and knobs.
2.) Use the small bracket for vertically mounted xed
installations. You can remove the large bracket in these
types of applications, and use the included plastic
plugs to cover the bracket screw holes.
Changing the Lenses
This xture comes with a pre-installed 80° diuser lens plus 3x replaceable
Fresnel lenses (30°, 45°, and 60°) for a variety of beam angles.
To change the lens, remove the thumbscrew from the lens holder and swivel
the holder outwards. Replace the existing lens with the lens of your choice.
Note: The replaceable lenses need to be installed with the circular pattern side
of the lens facing outwards.
*When using lenses with narrower beam angles, some chromatic aberration
(color separation) may occur. We recommend using the snoot accessory (sold
separately) to cut o the beam edge. This may help in certain circumstances.
Mounting & Rigging
This xture may be mounted in any SAFE position pro-
vided there is enough room for ventilation.
Mount the xture using a suitable "C" or "O" type
clamp. The clamp should be rated to hold at least 10x the xture’s weight to
ensure structural stability. Do not mount to surfaces of unknown strength,
ensure properly rated rigging is used, and always secure your xtures with a
safety cable.

4. OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS
The Control Panel
All of the features and dierent modes possible with this xture are accessed
by using the control panel on the front of the xture. There are 4 control but-
tons next to the menu display which allow you to navigate through the various
control panel menus.
<MENU>
Is used to navigate to the previous higher-level menu item.
<ENTER>
Is used to select and conrm/store the current selection.
<UP>
Scrolls through menu items and numbers in ascending order.
<DOWN>
Scrolls through menu items and numbers in descending order.
The control panel display shows the menu items you select from the menu map
on page #11. When a menu function is selected, the display will show immedi-
ately the rst available option for the selected menu function. To select a menu
item, press <ENTER>.
Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to navigate the menu options. Press the
<ENTER> button to select the menu function currently displayed, or to enable
a menu option. To return to the previous option or menu without changing the
value, press the <MENU> button.
