DESCRIPTION
The FXLD618FR2I is a variable white LED lighting
fixture. It is suitable for stage, house of worship,
entertainment venues, and other artistic applications.
It has several stand-alone control modes and can
operate via a DMX512 external signal.
A double yoke enables the fixture to be operated in
several positions.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
Locate the unit indoors 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 FXLD618FR2I 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 FXLD618FR2I unit. A
mating white connector is also provided.
THE LINE CORD IS RATED FOR 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 proceeds from the controller to the first receiving
device and then to others in one continuous chain.
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.
DMX CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS
The FXLD618FR2I receives a DMX signal on the 3 pin
MALE connector on one side of the unit. The 3 pin
FEMALE connector is used to connect the next DMX
device on the control chain.

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.

A control panel on one side 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. Then use
UP and DOWN to scroll through the available choices.
When you reach the option you want to set or change -
push ENTER. Now you can view the current setting for

changes and activate the option. See the "MENU
NAVIGATION" diagram for additional details.
There are 7 operation modes: DMX, Color Fade, Color
Change, Color Select, Manual Level (2 selections),
Demo and Sound.
The display will default to 0XXC, which is a display of
the current LED plate temperature. The fan on the unit
will only turn on when temperature is at or above 45° C
and turns off at or below 34° C.
DMX OPERATION
Use the AXXX menu to set the starting address of the
unit. You can set the starting address of the unit with
the UP and DOWN buttons.
For DMX operation the FXLD618FR2I fixture can be
configured as a 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 channel unit.
Set the CHXX menu to 01 (1 channel), 02 (2 channel),
03 (3 channel), 04 (4 channel), or 05 (5 channel).
Detailed information on DMX channel operation is
given in the tables DMX VALUES AND FUNCTIONS.
The unit has an LED on the menu display (decimal
point). If the LED is flashing, the unit is NOT receiving
signal either from a DMX controller or from a master
fixture. LED will disappear once DMX is present.
MANUAL OPERATION
If there is no DMX signal provided to the unit, then
setting any of these will result in the unit that was set
acting as a master. DMX overrides all manual settings.
COLOR FADE (CFXX)
The Color Fade mode cycles smoothly through 3
preset color temperature settings. Use the CFXX
menu to set the speed and activate the option. The
range is from 0 to 99 with 99 as the fastest.
COLOR CHANGE (CCXX)
The color change mode cycles through 3 preset color
temperature settings at a user defined speed. Use the
CCXX menu to set the rate of speed at which the
colors change. The range is from 0 to 99 with 99 as the
fastest.
COLOR SELECT (CSXX)
For additional manual operations, you can use the
Color Select menu (CSXX) to select one of three
preset color temperature settings.
Warm White/Cool White MANUAL LEVEL

test the unit. The Demo mode will not work if the unit
is receiving DMX. Exit Demo mode by entering
Channel mode menu option or insert a DMX signal.
SOUND MODE (Soun)

preset color temperatures. There are no other settings
within this mode.
