DESCRIPTION
The FXLD312R3I is a RGB 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 unit to be operated in
several positions.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The FXLD312R3I is rated IP20. The unit is intended
for
INDOOR USE ONLY.
Locate the unit in a well ventilated area away from
moisture and heat. Do not allow the vent or fan intake
holes to be blocked. Holes are provided on the yokes
to install a lighting bar pipe clamp. A safety cable
should also be used.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The FXLD312R3I has dual (male and female) IEC
type power connectors. The recessed male connector is
for a line cable connection to a 120 VAC, 15 Amp,
60Hz, grounded service. This line cord is provided.
The female IEC connector is to chain the power to
another unit if multiple units are used together. An
IEC power cable for this purpose is also provided.
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 XLR connector types which can be used
for DMX control. Some units use 3 pin connectors.
Others use 5 pin connectors. The FXLD312R3I
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 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
A control panel on the rear 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
