CONTROLLING THE SPACE X
There are four different ways of controlling the fixture, which are detailed below.
On-board keypad and display
Wired DMX
Wireless DMX using inbuilt Lumen Radio system
Wired remote dimmer control (sold separately)
ON-BOARD KEYPAD AND DISPLAY
All settings and configuration can be done using the on-board keypad and OLED display.
Dedicated buttons:
ON/OFF - Press to turn light on and off
FLASH - Flashes light on or off when held down
LEVEL - Adjusts intensity from 0 to 100%
CCT (SAT) - Adjusts CCT from 2200K to 15000K. Also controls
Saturation when in HSV mode
GRN (HUE) - Adjust Green/Magenta bias from Full Minus Green to Full Green
(-100 to 100 on display). Also controls Hue when in HSV mode
To access the menu system, press MENU button, then:
MENU - Press to go back a menu level.
Select - Press to accept current menu item or setting
Up - Press to scroll up, or increase setting value. Hold to scroll quickly
Down - Press to scroll down, or decrease setting value. Hold to scroll quickly
Indicator LEDs:
DMX - Flashes yellow rapidly when DMX signal is present
DMX ))) - Flashes blue rapidly when wireless DMX signal is present
MENU FUNCTIONS
The table below outlines all the menu items and a brief description of their function, for firmware V1.4.7 and above

DMX Address



Use UP/DOWN arrow keys to set DMX address from 1 to 494 (<512 to allow for all
channels to be patched)
DMX Scenario



Use UP/DOWN arrow keys to set DMX Scenario from 1 to 10 (see DMX implementation
tables for complete description of different scenarios)
Boost Brightness

Boost Brightness allows for increased light output when unit is running at low
temperatures. When Boost Brightness is NOT enabled, the output level of the light is
restricted to that of the normal ‘HOT’ running temperature of the light, even if the light
is running cooler than normal. This prevents ‘output droop’ as the unit heats up
FAN MODE

Auto

Fans speed is variable depending on temperature
Quiet

Fans will constantly run at lowest speed
Medium

Fans will constantly run a medium speed
High

Fans will constantly run at high speed
Pause

Fans will stop running, until maximum temperature is reached - then will run in Quiet
mode
Advanced

LumenRadio Unlink

Select this to unlink Lumen Radio from transmitter
LumenRadio Enabled

Lumen Radio Receiver can be enabled or disabled
High Speed

Enable High Speed Mode –this increases the PWM frequency of the unit to allow fast
frame rate shooting (up to 2,000fps). The drawback of using High Speed mode is that
the dimming and colour changing of the unit becomes less fluid and smooth. When
disabled, frame rates of up to 500fps are achievable.
DMX Terminated

Enable to terminate DMX line with 120R resistor internally. The last fixture in the DMX
chain should have this option selected
Display Always On

If this is not enabled, then the OLED display will switch off after a period of no key-
presses, to lengthen it’s lifespan and prevent screen burn-in
Information

Displays information screen with serial number, temperatures, unit run-hours and other
vital statistics
Restore Defaults

Restores user defaults including DMX address,Scenario and other settings

WIRED DMX CONTROL
Standard 5 pin XLR connectors are located on the back of the unit.
When a valid DMX signal is detected, the yellow DMX indicator LED will flash on the rear of the unit and the keypad controls for the light are
disabled. These are restored several seconds after loss of DMX signal. After around 15 seconds of valid DMX input the OLED Display will
power off automatically –press any key on the keypad to turn it back on again.
The desired DMX address can be selected from the main menu. Please see the DMX Implementation Tables for more information about the
channel mapping options.
As with all DMX installations, the last unit in the chain should be terminated. This can be done through the menu system, by selecting
MENU->Advanced->DMX Terminated.
WIRELESS DMX CONTROL
Every Space X unit has built in Wireless DMX control using the Lumen Radio system.
When a valid wireless DMX signal is present, the blue indicator LED will flash rapidly. The current signal level will also be displayed on the top
status area of the OLED screen
After around 15 seconds of valid DMX input the OLED Display will power off automatically –press any key on the keypad to turn it back on
again.
If wired DMX is connected at the same time as the Wireless DMX is receiving data, then the wired connection will take control.
The DMX address and scenario should be set in the same mannor as for wired DMX.
To unlink the Lumen Radio module, go to Menu->Advanced->Unlink Lumen
Please see Lumen Radio documentation for more information about the wireless DMX system.
WIRED REMOTE DIMMER
The wired remote dimmer plugs into the 7 pin Accessory connector on the back of the unit. This will allow limited access to the menu system
of the unit for setup and also control of levels, cct, green/mag, hue, saturation and DMX address/Scenario.
RIGGING
Three rigging points are provided for attachement of the correctly rated safety cables to hang the unit. Make sure to use cables rated to
withstand the full weight of the unit: 18kg
Ensure that mounting point is safe and secure and is rated to take the full unit weight
