1. Unpacking
Thank you for choosing the Elektralite Led Pro Line Cool White Dazer fixture. For your own safety, please read this
manual before installing the fixture. This manual covers important information on installation and applications. Please keep
this manual for future reference.
To keep this simple, we are going to refer to the fixture as the Elektralite CW Dazer throughout the manual.
The Elektralite CW Dazer fixture uses 36 high powered 5 watt leds in a balanced arrangement giving incredible output.
Please unpack it carefully and check whether it was damaged in shipping.
The following items should be in the box with the fixture:-
Color/Gel frame
DMX 5 pin male to 5 pin female cable
2. Safety Instructions.
This device has left the factory in perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is
absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this user manual. The
Elektralite CW Dazer is a high voltage fixture. Be careful when dealing with high voltages.
Please read this manual. If you do not read this manual and damages occur to the Elektralite CW Dazer, then it
could void the warranty.
During shipping, Elektralite CW Dazer may have been exposed to high temperature changes or humidity changes. So, as a
precaution, do not switch Elektralite CW Dazer on immediately. Condensation can damage Elektralite CW Dazer so leave
it switched off, until it has reached room temperature.
The electric connection must be carry out by a qualified person and it is absolutely essential that the Elektralite CW Dazer
be grounded.This is imperative and is a safety issue. Do not break or bend out of the way, the ground center pin on the
plug.
Always disconnect the Elektralite CW Dazer from the power source, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only
unplug Elektralite CW Dazer from the power cord. Never pull out the plug out by pulling on the power cord.
Please keep the Elektralite CW Dazer away from children and the general public. Please be intelligent and use common
sense when operating the Elektralite CW Dazer.3. General Guidelines.
The Elektralite CW Dazer is a lighting fixture for professional use on stages, in churches, theatres, etc.
The Elektralite CW Dazer should only be operated at between 120 to 240 volts and only indoors.
The Elektralite CW Dazer should not be operated 24/7 (24 hours a day; 7 days a week). The Elektralite CW Dazer needs
operation breaks to ensure that it will work for a long time without problems. Please do not shake the Elektralite CW Dazer
and avoid using brute force when installing or operating it.
When choosing the location to install the Elektralite CW Dazer, please make sure that it is not exposed to extreme heat,
moisture or dust. The minimum distance between the Elektralite CW Dazer and the illuminated surface must be more than 3
feet.
Always mount the Elektralite CW Dazer with an appropriate safety cable/chain.
Operate the Elektralite CW Dazer only when you are familiar with the features on the fixture. Do not permit operation by
persons not qualified to operate it.
All modifications to the Elektralite CW Dazer will invalidate the warranty. There are absolutely no exceptions.
If Elektralite CW Dazer is operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the Elektralite CW Dazer
maybe damaged and the guarantee will be void.

4. Installation
Please ensure that the Elektralite CW Dazer is hung using the appropriate "C" clamp or half cheeseboro. A safety chain or
cable should also be used as a secondary point of holding the fixture in case the clamp comes loose. Never hang the
fixture without a safety chain or cable. Make sure the Gel frame (Gel holder) is clipped into position correctly and cannot
come loose.
If you are not qualified or have any doubts about hanging the Elektralite CW Dazer then do NOT hang it.
Do not clamp the cable to the U bracket or clamp. That is not a secondary safety point.
A secondary safety point is any point that will adequately hold the Elektralite CW Dazer if the "C" clamp or half cheesboro
fails. Then the safety cable would be the backup and stop the fixture from falling to the ground. So do NOT fix the safety to
the same place that the "C"clamp is attached.
Installation during construction.
Many times fixtures are installed during the construction phase of a building. It is imperative that the fixture is protected
during this phase. A lot of dust is usually created. This dust can adversely affect the fixture. Specifically, of course, in coating
the lenses and therefore reducing the output. However much more seriously, dust, like sheetrock dust, can get inside the fan
bearings especially if the fixture is being operated during construction. Sheetrock dust, mixed with the grease of the fan
motor, will result in the fan’s premature failure and that is not covered under the fixture’s warranty. It is therefore strongly
advised to keep the fixtures covered up during the construction phase and not used.
5. Grounding.
Always make sure that there is sufficient grounding (earth) for the fixture. This is not only imperative within the circuit that the
fixture is being connected to, but also make sure there is sufficient grounding into the building. All fixtures regardless of
manufacturer have a surge at initial “turn-on”. Once initial “turn-on” is complete, the surge current (per fixture) will travel
down the ground. While each 20 Amp circuit may have the correct size of ground wire, the ground input to the building
and/or electrical panel may not be sufficient for the job. Please review this with the electrical contractor. The Elektralite CW
Dazer has a surge current over and above its operating current of approximately 2 Amp at 120 volts. If an installation has
100 Dazers that means 200 Amps needs to be dissipated through the GROUND WIRING. If there is a lack of a sufficiently
big enough ground cable into the building or on the individual circuits it can cause severe damage to the fixture and this is
not covered under the warranty.
One further check : the ground to neutral voltage for each circuit. In a lot of buildings, voltages across these can damage
fixtures or cause operational problems both for the fixture and DMX.
Please review these two important points with a qualified electrical contractor. If in any doubt, have an independent qualified
third party electrical contractor check the installation, well before commencing installation.
Circuit Limitation :-
There should be no more than 5 CW Dazers on a 20 amp 120 volt circuit, having no other load on it. That means to say a,
maximum of 5 CW Dazers are on a 20 amp 120 volt circuit with nothing else plugged into that circuit.

6. DMX-512 Control Connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 5-pin XLR output of the Elektralite CP 16/24 or other DMX controller. The
other end should be connected to the male 5-pin XLR input of the Elektralite CW Dazer . Then daisy-chain out of the first
Elektralite CW Dazer and into the next Elektralite CW Dazer or other dmx device. Never “Y” split the DMX connection.
If you need more cable, then it should be two core, screened cable fitted with a 5 pin XLR input and output connector. Please
refer to the diagram below.

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically “noisy” environment, it is
recommended that a DMX terminator is used. This helps prevent corruption of the digital control signal. The DMX terminator
is simply a 5 pin XLR plug (male) with a 120 Ωresistor connected between pins 2 and 3. It is then plugged into the output
XLR socket of the last Elektralite CW Dazer or other dmx device in the chain. Please see illustration below.

8. Static Look.
The Elektralite CW Dazer can be set to a single static look quickly.
Use the Menu button to get to STAT.
Press Enter.
The next screen will read W.000. This is addressing the White leds.
Use the ↑or ↓to increase or decrease the output of the leds.
Numbers are expressed in DMX values so 0 is no output and 255 is highest output.
Press Enter to save the value.
The screen will automatically advance to the strobe. S.000 means the strobe is off
Use the ↑or↓to increase or decrease the speed of the strobing or leave at S.000 if you want no strobe.
S.001 is the slowest and S.020 is the fastest strobing.
Press Enter to save the value. It will automatically bring you back to the output screen again.
Press the Menu button to exit out of STAT and back to the Root directory.
9. Run Mode.
Run allows the fixture to operate in either DMX or STMT.
DMX Mode is where control of the fixture is via the industry standard DMX signal.
Further, when the DMX signal is lost, the fixture will maintain the last refresh of the DMX signal prior.
This way the facility is not plunged into total darkness.
In STMT Mode, when the DMX signal is lost, the fixture will go to whatever the output values are set at in the STATIC LOOK.
STMT mode is good in an emergency.
If the fixtures are in a venue that needs, in an emergency, the lights to come FULL ON, then engage STMT mode and also
make sure that the STATIC LOOK is set such that all leds are at 255. (See #8 Static Look above).
Using the Menu button in the root menu go to RUN.
Press Enter to get to DMX mode. Press Enter again to save the RUN mode as DMX.
A "ok" will appear and then the display will return to display RUN.
If the fixture is to be run in STMT mode, then when DMX mode appears on the screen instead of pressing enter use the ↑or ↓
to get to STMT. Then press enter to save the STMT mode setting.

10. DMX 512 Setting (address).
Sets up the address for the dmx.
Using the Menu button in the root menu go to DMX
Press Enter to get into DMX menu and the display will read the current dmx channel.
The display will read for example d.001
This means the fixture's current address is 001
To change it, use the ↑or ↓buttons to get to the correct address.
Press Enter to save the dmx address. The display will momentarily display the word "OK" and then go back to the DMX menu.
To exit out to the root directory, use the menu button.
11. Fixture Personality.
There are several different choices on how the fixture will operate.
What these "Personalities" do in terms of their channel assignments is detailed on the tables page 8.
To change a Personality use the Menu button to get to PERS
Press Enter and then using the ↑or ↓buttons go to the personality required.
Press Enter to save the Personality.
12. ID Address.
A fixture can be addressed (controlled) through the dmx or instead it can have its own unique ID address.
There are a total of 255 different ID addresses from 1 to 255.
To set up the address for a fixture, use the Menu button in the root menu go to ID
Press Enter and then using the ↑or ↓buttons,to select the ID address.
Press Enter to save the address.
For the ID address to work you must chose the WS id personality.
This allows you to access the ID address system on channel 4.
Set the DMX address to d.001 for the fixture. So if ID address 123 is chosen then go to channel 4 on the lighting board and
set the level at 123. You will then be controlling only fixture(s) with ID address 123.

13. SET. (Set has several Sub Menus which allow functions to be used).
1). REST
This resets all values to their default.
Using the Menu button, go through the Root Menu until SET. Press Enter and then use the ↑or ↓buttons to get to REST.
Press Enter. The display will have 4 dots across the bottom. The password needs to be entered. The password is the following
sequence using the ↑and ↓buttons.
↑↓↑↓then press Enter once, to complete the reset. The display will read "OK" followed by a return to the REST sub
menu. The Menu button will need pressing to return to the Root Menu. Only when at the Root Menu will dmx control work.
Please note the Reset also takes the dmx address back to 001.
2). DIM
The Dim function allows different Dimmer curves to be chosen. There are 5 choices.
Choice 1 :- this is Dim off. The Dimmer curve is 0 which means any change in dimmer level is instantaneous.
Choice 2:- Dim 1. The dimmer curve has the shortest fade in and fade out time.
Choice 3:- Dim 2. The dimmer curve has the 2nd shortest fade in and fade out time.
Choice 4:- Dim 3. The dimmer curve has the 3rd shortest fade in and fade out time
Choice 5:- Dim 4. The dimmer curve has the longest fade in and the fade out time.
Using the Menu button, go through the Root Menu until Set. Press Enter and then use the ↑or ↓buttons to get to DIM.
Press Enter and then use the ↑or ↓buttons to get to the DIM choice required. Once chosen, press Enter to save it and then
use the Menu button to exit back to the root directory.
3).DV
The DV setting allows the ability of the leds to not flicker when using video camera.
The choices are NTSC or PAL. NTSC is the USA system.
Go through the Root Menu until Set. Press Enter and then use the ↑or ↓buttons to get to DV.
Press Enter and then use the ↑or↓buttons to get to either NTSC or PAL. Once chosen, press Enter to save the setting and
the Menu to exit back to the Root Menu.

18. Cleaning and maintenance.
Now ignoring maintenance and cleaning is very good way of creating problems "down the road" and many companies and
installations do just that. However the net result is, no matter what the fixture, premature failure!
Changing the oil in a car most people do on a regular basis.
So with the fixtures, regular maintenance is an excellent practice, if you want the fixtures to last.
So what is the maintenance for the fixture?
Clean the fan! That’s really it!
Use a small vacuum cleaner and suck the dust and “fur balls” out.
Do not use a can of co². That will just blast the dust and dirt everywhere!
The fan keeps the LEDs cool and keep the electronics cool too.
Without the fan working efficiently and dust free, the fixtures will fail and that will be a lot more costly than having someone
vacuum the fixtures on a regular basis.
How often should the fan be cleaned? It depends on where the fixtures are; in a very dusty atmosphere once a week. So
check the fan on a regular basis, it may not need cleaned every week but a quick “visual inspection” should be done.
The front plastic cover for the lenses should be cleaned so the light output is maintained. Use only a moist lint-free cloth.
Never use alcohol or solvents to clean the fixture.
