Irideon WLZ User Manual 1
Introduction
The Irideon WLZ is a compact but powerful LED wash light. It incorporates
many of the great features of its companion fixture, the Irideon FPZ,
including local and DMX control, adjustable zoom, and sleek design.
The Irideon WLZ has three available mounting options:
•
Track-mount: For use with the DataTrack track system.
•
Portable: Includes a miniature C-clamp and yoke-mounted driver,
and has a permanently installed power cord with 3-prong Edison
connector. Region-specific connectors are available. Contact ETC
for available options. Use L5-15 plugs on branch circuits with
L5-15 receptacles only.
•
Canopy: Available in three different control variants:
-
0–10 V
-
DALI
-
DMX

PortableTrack-mount
Note: The miniature C-clamp for the portable fixture is available
only in non-EU markets. Within the EU, use an M12 bolt to secure
a clamp (provided separately) to the fixture.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Canopy Fixture
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Power must be off
when you perform this procedure.
The fixture must be installed by a qualified electrician in
accordance with all national and local electrical and
construction codes and regulations.
AVERTISSEMENT : RISQUE DE DÉCHARGE ÉLÉCTRIQUE!
L'alimentation doit étre éteinte avant d'exécuter cette
procédure.
Track-Mount Fixture
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, use
the track-mount fixture only with the DataTrack (EUTRAC)
track system.
AVERTISSEMENT : Pour éviter le risque d'incendie ou de
choc électrique avec le modèle adaptateur pour rail, utiliser
uniquement avec une alimentation par rail DataTrack
(EUTRAC).
WARNING: Use the track-mount fixture with ceiling-
mounted track only.

1. Insert the DataTrack
adapter into the track. The
adapter only fits into the
track one way with the
tabs nesting into the
track’s groove.
2. Rotate the locking
mechanism to lock the
adapter into place.
WARNING: When using the circuit selection lock, ensure that
the selected circuit is a constant power circuit. Dialing into a
dimmable circuit may cause fixture damage that will void the
ETC warranty.
3. Use the circuit selection lock to select the circuit. The desired circuit
number should point toward the center of the adapter.

Install Canopy Fixture (DMX Variant)
Note: The canopy fixture can be installed directly on 4in and
4-11/16in back boxes, or on back boxes with round cover plates.
The canopy fixture cannot be installed on 1-gang back boxes or
trim rings.
Install the Voltage Barrier (DMX Variant)
The DMX variant of the canopy fixture includes a voltage barrier to
separate the data network from the line voltage inside the back box.
Voltage barriers are provided for both 4in and 4-11/16in back boxes.
CAUTION: DMX control is a Class 2 circuit. DMX wiring cannot
be run through the same conduit as line voltage power-supply
conductors. Separate the line voltage from the data side in
the back box. Install the voltage barrier provided by ETC.
Install the voltage barrier in the back
box with the provided bolt (see
images at right, showing a 4in back
box). The voltage barrier blocks two
or more through holes in the back of
the junction box, depending on how
it is oriented, plus the center
conduit knockout in the back of the
junction box and the center
knockouts on two sides of the
junction box. The blocked holes and
knockouts are marked with "X" in
the illustration to the right.

Connect Canopy Wiring (DMX Variant)
Cable preparation instructions for DMX termination are included in the
termination kits, and are also available for download at etcconnect.com.
1. Remove the adhesive tape or fasteners securing the mounting plate
to the fixture to free the mounting plate from the canopy
enclosure.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Install the cover plate
as directed below for installations where the interior of the
canopy enclosure could be exposed after installation with only
the mounting plate. For example, install the cover plate when
installing to a surface-mount back box.
AVERTISSEMENT : Installez la plaque de protection comme
indiqué ci-dessous pour les installations où l'intérieur de la
rosace de plafond pourrait être exposé après l'installation
avec uniquement la plaque de montage. Par exemple, installez
la plaque de protection lors de l'installation sur un boîtier
arrière à montage en surface.

Install Portable Fixture with C-clamp
The C-clamp attaches the fixture to the mounting pipe and allows you to
adjust the position of the fixture once it is mounted. The C-clamp will fit
a 3/4in to 2in pipe. Two different length pipe bolts are provided to
accommodate different pipe sizes.
Note: The miniature C-clamp for the portable fixture is available
only in non-EU markets. Within the EU, use an M12 bolt to secure
a clamp (provided separately) to the fixture.

1. Insert the spacer into the driver box through the hole in the top of
the yoke.
2. Tightly fasten the C-clamp to the yoke with the provided yoke bolt
and washers.
3. Place the C-clamp on the mounting pipe, and then tighten the pipe
bolt to secure it. Use the standard pipe bolt to secure the fixture to
larger mounting pipes. If necessary, exchange the standard pipe
bolt for the longer pipe bolt (included) to secure the fixture to
smaller mounting pipes.

in place of the provided kit
hardware.
Connect Cables to
Portable Fixture
1. Connect RJ45 data cables to the top of the driver box, one for data
in and one for data thru (in either position), as needed.
•
To order RJ45-to-socket XLR adapter, use part number W6538.
•
To order RJ45-to-plug XLR adapter, use part number W6539.
2. Connect the fixture to the power source.
Note:
•
The Irideon WLZ is not self-terminating. You must terminate
the last fixture in line with a 120 Ohm resistor. Please
contact your ETC customer service representative to
purchase part number N4086.
•
No more than 32 DMX devices can be daisy-chained
together on a single run. For runs of fixtures totaling more
than 32 DMX devices, use a DMX splitter to split the DMX
runs.
•
When using DMX over Cat5, use Cat5e or better. Cable
distance must not exceed 300 m (1000 ft).
•
The Irideon WLZ cannot be controlled via network protocols
and should not be connected to a system network.

Configuration
Set the DMX Address at the Fixture
You can set the DMX address using RDM, but you can also set the DMX
address on the fixture itself, if necessary. The fixture uses the last address
that you set, regardless of whether you set it via RDM or locally on the
fixture.
There are three addressing dials on the track adapter (track-mounted
fixture), in the canopy (canopy fixture), or on the driver box (portable
fixture). To set the DMX address, use a small flatblade screwdriver to
move the arrow to the desired address number.
DMX addresses must be set between 1 and 512. Each fixture must be
considered a separate DMX device for the purpose of DMX line-loading
calculations. The Irideon WLZ only has an intensity channel.
Note: When using RDM with track-mounted fixtures, ETC
recommends connecting no more than 20 fixtures on a single run.
