DESCRIPTION
The FXLD1012C4I is a PAR style RGBW 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 it to be
operated in several positions.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The FXLD1012C4I is rated IP20 and is intended for
INDOOR USE ONLY.
Locate the unit in a well ventilated area away from
moisture and heat. Holes are provided on the yoke to
install a lighting bar pipe clamp. A safety cable should
also be used.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The FXLD1012C4I has a line cord for connection to a
120 VAC, 15 Amp, 60Hz, grounded service.
The safety ground pin on the power cord 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 which can be used
for DMX control. They are both XLR type connectors.
Some units use 3 pin connectors. Others use 5 pin
connectors. The FXLD1012C4I receives a DMX signal
on the 3 pin MALE connector on the back of the unit.
The 3 pin FEMALE connector is used to connect the
next DMX device on the control chain. If your console
uses a 5 pin connector you can make up an adapter
cable to accommodate this. 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

4 NOT USED
5 NOT USED

installing a commonly available 1/4 Watt, 120 Ohm
