Mounting the Fixture
Align the center pin of the mounting plate to the
center hole on the mating plate.
Rotate plate clockwise until the four shoulder rivets
drop into the receptacle. A locking pin will snap into
place when the plate is properly seated.
The yellow wire loop provides an attachment point
for a safety chain.
To remove the plate, pull up on the locking pin and
reverse the mounting procedure.
A 180° turn loosens the orientation of the mount.
A right turn tightens the mount.
The tension on the lock lever may be adjusted by
pulling the handle away from the mount.
This disengages the handle from the screw
mechanism and allows the lever to be reoriented.
Lollipops are interchangeable.

receptacle on the ballast. Rotate the silver locking
ring until it clicks into the lock position.
The Select LED xture can be used with the
controller directly attached or remotely, using a
25ft extension cable. Remote operation of the
controller provides more rigging options.
To insert the cable, align the key ways on the

DMX
DMX
White mode:
In White mode, the Select LED operates on three DMX channels using DMX512
while in the default 8 Bit Dim mode. The rst channel operates dimming; 2nd channel
operates Kelvin color temperature control from 2700K to 6500K; 3rd channel operates
G/M. Once an address is selected, the xture automatically assigns 3 channels.
Color Mode
In Color mode, the Select LED operates on six DMX channels using DMX512 while in
the default 8 Bit Dim mode. The rst channel operates dimming; 2nd channel operates
Kelvin color temperature control from 2500K to 9900K; 3rd channel operates G/M;
4th channel operates the Gel; 5th channel operates the Hue angle and the 6th channel
operates the Saturation. Once an address is selected, the xture automatically assigns
6 channels.
Note: In order to control the Gel list channel, the G/M channel needs to be set to 0.
In order to control the Hue angle and Saturation channels, the G/M and Gel list
channels both need to be set to 0.
Note: If a xture loses its DMX signal, it will hold its last DMX command. For this
reason, it is important to turn a xture off using the DMX commands. For example,
if you try to turn off the lights by turning off the dimmer board, the lights will remember
their last DMX command and stay on. The xtures require a DMX “Off” or “Black-Out”
command in order to turn off.
18

Press the Menu button to select DMX. Press and turn the control knob to select
individual digit settings for a valid address from 1-512. On the main display, “X” next to
DMX indicates DMX signal is present.
All manual controls are disabled once the DMX cable is applied and DMX is turned on.
To regain manual control with the DMX cable plugged in, set the DMX address to “0”.
19
DMX Settings
DIM Curve
Default is Square. Press control knob to change to Linear. Dim Curve applies
to how the input DMX Dim command is applied. In Linear mode an address of
127 = 50% Dim. Because single channel DMX is only 8 bit (0-255), the lower end of
the Dim curve has the same increment as the higher end. Square Dim applies
x^2 curve and allocates more values to the lower end of the Dim scale.
8/16 Bit DIM
Default is 8 Bit. 16 Bit Dim allocates an additional DMX channel for the Dim input,
one channel for the upper 8 Bits and another channel for the lower 8 Bits.
DMX Map
In White mode, DMX Map displays three DMX channel settings for DIM, CCT (Kelvin)
and G/M. In Color mode, DMX Map displays six DMX channel settings for DIM,
CCT (Kelvin), G/M, Gel, Hue and Saturation.
Note: If 16 Bit Dim is on, a total of 4 channels are displayed for White mode
(7 channels displayed for Color mode). The rst 2 DMX channels are assigned to
dimming. 1st channel = DIM MSB (Most Signicant Byte); 2nd channel DIM LSB
(Least Signicant Byte); 3rd channel = CCT (Kelvin); 4th channel = G/M.
(In Color mode, 5th channel = Gel, 6th channel = Hue; 7th channel = Saturation.)

DMX Wireless Settings
The Select LED includes a built-in Lumen Radio receiver and can be operated
wirelessly with a Lumen Radio transmitter (sold separately). DMX Wireless is
an alternative to using DMX cables. Set DMX address as previously instructed
on p 19. For more information on Lumen Radio Receiver/Transmitter, see
www.LumenRadio.com.
