DESCRIPTION
The FXLD1218FRP5I is a RGBWA LED lighting
fixture. It is suitable for stage, disco, night club, and
other artistic applications. It has several stand-alone
control modes and can operate via a DMX-512
external signal.
A double yoke enables the fixture to be operated in
several positions.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The FXLD1218FRP5I is rated IP20 and is intended for
INDOOR USE ONLY.
Locate the unit in a well ventilated area away from
moisture and heat. Keep the vent holes clear. Holes
are provided on the yokes to install a lighting bar pipe
clamp. Use a safety cable when hanging the fixture.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The FXLD1218FRP5I has a blue turn and lock
connector for power input. A compatible power cable
is provided for connection to a 120 VAC, 15 Amp,
60Hz, grounded service. Push the blue connector on
the cable straight into the blue connector on the unit
and twist approx. 1/8 turn clockwise to latch it.
The white turn and lock connector on the unit is used
to pass power on to another FXLD1218FRP5I unit. A
mating white connector is also provided.
Caution is advised since the line cord is rated for
approx. 7 Amps maximum.
THE SAFETY GROUND TERMINAL ON THE POWER
CABLE MUST BE USED.
DMX CONNECTIONS
A system using DMX control should be connected as a
chain of devices. In other words the control signal
cable should proceed from the controller to the first
receiving device and then to others in a continuous
"daisy chain" fashion.
The fixture has a DMX IN and a DMX OUT connector
to be used to connect the chain. The control cable
should NOT be split into a multiple run star
arrangement with a cable running from the controller
directly to each receiving device pack.

DMX CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS
There are two different connectors generally used for
DMX control. They are both XLR type connectors.
Some units use 3 pin connectors. Others use 5 pin. The
FXLD1218FRP5I has both. DMX can be received on
either the 3 pin or 5 pin MALE connector on the back
of the unit. The 3 and 5 pin FEMALE connectors are
used to connect to the next DMX device on the control
chain.
The table below shows the pin assignments for BOTH
the 3 pin and 5 pin connectors.
DMX TERMINATION
A DMX chain should be terminated at the last
receiving device on the chain. This is done by
installing a commonly available 1/4 Watt, 120 Ohm
resistor across the DATA - and DATA + wires at the
last device. If you have only a few fixtures very close
together and a very short run to the controller then you
may be able to operate without the terminator.
OPERATION
A control panel on the back of the unit is used to set
the operating options. It consists of an LED display
and four buttons (MENU, UP, DOWN, and ENTER)
Push MENU to access the operating options. When
you reach the option you want to set or change - use
UP or DOWN to set a value. Push ENTER to save your
changes and activate the option. See the "MENU
NAVIGATION" diagram for additional details.
There are 7 operation modes: DMX 5 channel, DMX 9
channel, Color Fade, Color Change, Color Select,
Manual Level (5 selections), and Demo.
DMX OPERATION
For DMX operation the FXLD1218FRP5I fixture can
be configured as a 5 channel, or 9 channel unit.
Use the
dxxx
(5 ch) or

starting address of the unit. You can select the starting
address of the unit with the UP and DOWN buttons.
Detailed information on DMX channel operation is
