Safety Precautions
Do not expose this fixture to rain or moisture.
Do not spill water or other liquids into or on your unit.
Caution: For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating
areas, or in areas were the fixture might be reached by unauthorized personnel.
Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a
minimum point load of 10 items the de ice’s weight.
Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an
appropriate safety cable.
Ne er stand directly below the de ice when mounting, remo ing, or ser icing the fixture.
From a ceiling, or set on a flat le el surface (see illustration below). Be sure this fixture is kept
at least 0.5m (1.5ft) away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.), and that .5m is kept
around the fixture for entilation.
Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to pre ent accidental
damage and/or injury in the e ent the clamp fails.
∙Don’t try to modify the fixture without any instruction by the manufacturer or the appointed
repairing agencies.
∙Warranty is oided if there are any malfunctions from not following the user manual while

DMX Setup
DMX Basics
DMX512 stands for digital multiplex 512. This means that 512 channels are controlled
digitally through 1 data cable.
A channel is a set of 255 steps that are assigned to control attributes in each light. This
may be a color like red, green or blue, and intensity, strobe, pan/tilt or other attributes.
Multiple sets of 512 “universes” may be used. nly 1 universe will travel on a DMX cable,
but through networked DMX (Art-Net or sACN E1.31), many universes can travel over a
network.
DMX Wiring
DMX works by connecting 1 or multiple lights to the output of a DMX lighting console or
software with a DMX interface.
DMX lights connect in what is called a “daisy-chain”. Your first DMX cable will plug it’s
male DMX connector into the female DMX connector on your lighting console. The
remaining female connector will then connect to the DMX input on your first light.
You may then connect your next fixture to the output of your first light, and continue the
chain.
32 Fixture Rule – DMX only allows you to connect up to 32 fixtures in a single daisy
chain for signal strength. Sometimes, depending on the fixtures and cable length, this
number is less (or more).
DMX Cables can be 3-pin or 5-pin. These use the same type of data, and in the 5-pin
only pins 1, 2, and 3 are used. The cable should be a 2 conductor, shielded cable of at
least 110 ohms resistance. Microphone cable is not DMX cable.
Please refer to the diagram below:
Silhouette culus XL Z – GAMMA LED Vision Page 8 of 20

For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically
noisy environment, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing
corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise and reflections. The DMX
terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,
which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please
see illustrations below:
Silhouette culus XL Z – GAMMA LED Vision Page 9 of 20

DMX Modes and Configuration
The Silhouette culus XL Z has multiple DMX modes, sometimes called “personalities”,
“profiles”, or as we will use here “modes”.
In general, modes with more DMX channels offer a greater level of control or options but
take up more of your output channels on your lighting console or software.
Modes with less DMX channels often offer less control, but may be plenty for your needs.
Depending on your needs and control solution, you may not need channels for
automated programs, strobes, or macros – your console may have great effects! In this
case, you can use a lesser channel mode and fit more lights per DMX universe.
View the DMX mode charts below to find the mode that best suits your needs.

Pan/Tilt Calibration
When creating fixture profiles, it is helpful to know how the pan and tilt operates.
When the Pan and Tilt are at 50%, the yoke is perpendicular to the LCD screen. If you are
standing in front of the unit, sitting on the ground, your shoulders are parallel to the
yoke.

As you increase the Pan channel, the fixture moves clockwise.
When Pan is at 50%, and you increase the tilt, the head points away from you.

3. Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
Fan Cleaning
Periodically do a visual inspection of the fans. If they are dirty, power off the unit and use
a small electronics vacuum to clean the fans out. Do not use a can of C02 or an Air
Compressor. These will simply blow the dust into the unit and may leave other residue.
Front Lens
The front lens should be cleaned so that light output is maintained.
With the light powered off, use a moist, lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents to
clean the fixture.
Never spray any cleaners on the fixture.
Troubleshooting Problems
The following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work:
•Check that the unit is plugged in to a working power connector.
•Press the menu button to confirm that the unit is powered on. If the screen does
not light up, the unit has no power.
B. Not Responding to the DMX Controller
•Check DMX cables to verify that they are plugged in and functional.
•Check the DMX address and mode – does it match the address and mode patched
in the lighting console or software?
•Plug the light directly into the DMX controller with a cable that you know is good.
Unplug all other lights – does it work?
•Try to use another DMX controller.
