The Evora 740ZP LED Zoom Wash produces an incredible high
output from a very compact and durable chassis, making it an
incredibly versatile yet affordable solution for both rental and
installation applications. The rst-class optical system presents a
high intensity adjustable zoom; the narrow 4 degree beam angle
creates sharp mid-air effects, whilst the wider angles produce
uniform colour mixing, bathing concerts and events in rich colours.
Full pixel control over the 7 x 40W Osram Ostar™ quad-colour LEDs
gives lighting designers a further level of creativity, whilst colour
calibration ensures colours match from batch to batch.

Installation
Before installing the xture, the supporting structure (ie. truss) must be able to hold a minimum of 10
times the xtures weight without any deformation (eg. 15kg - 150kg point load). The xture must be
secured with a secondary safety attachment when being installed (ie. an appropriate safety cable).
Never stand directly below the xture when mounting, removing, and/or servicing.
Overhead installation requires experience and qualications to calculate working load limits, the
material being used at the installation area and periodic safety inspections of the xture and installation
material. If you do not have the relevant experience and/or qualications please do not attempt the
installation yourself. The installation should be checked annually by a qualied person.
The Evora 740ZP Zoom Wash can be operated where the base of the xture is horizontally orientated, this
includes standing the xture upright on a at, level surface or hanging the xture upside down.
Do NOT install the xture in a sideways position or in a position where the base of the xture is
orientated vertically or at an angle. Always use a safety wire as an extra safety precaution to prevent
damage/injury in the event a clamp fails (see the next page for clamp installation). Never use the carry
handles for secondary attachments.

Installation
Installation:
1. Fasten each clamp to the omega clamps with a bolt and lock nut through the hole in the

2. Align and insert the omega clamp quick-lock fasteners with the respective holes on the bottom
of the unit.
3. Tighten both locking fasteners clockwise on each omega clamp ensuring they’re fully secure.
4. Mount the xture onto your truss system via the clamps and tighten to ensure secure.
5. Pull the safety cable through the safety cable holes located on the metal base plate on the
underside of the xture and around the truss.

Setting the DMX address:
The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each xture requires a “start address”
from 1- 512. A xture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel
indicated by the start address. For example, a xture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was
addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104,
105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in
the chain starts at 107.
DMX 512:
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent
xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the xture.
DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT”
XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).
DMX linking:
DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together
and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the shortest
cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not inuence the
DMX addressing. For example; a xture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in
a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a xture is assigned a
DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit,
no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
This xture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the unit.
Your unit requires either a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for data input/output,
see images below.
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
DMX setup
Further DMX cables can be purchased from all good sound and lighting suppliers or Prolight Concepts dealers.
