DESCRIPTION
The FXLD136RGB is a PAR style RGB LED lighting
fixture. It is suitable for stage, disco, night club, and
other artistic applications. It has several stand alone
control modes, a master/slave mode, and can operate
via a DMX-512 external signal.
A double yoke enables it to be operated in several
positions.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The FXLD136RGB 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 yokes to
install a lighting bar pipe clamp. A safety cable should
also be used.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The FXLD136RGB 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 FXLD136RGB 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
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
Operating options are set using the LED display and 4
buttons
(MENU, ENTER, UP, DOWN) on the rear of
the fixture.
Push
MENU to access the operating options. Then use
