DESCRIPTION
The FXLE1530W is an LED ellipsoidal fixture that is
suitable for stage, houses of worship, entertainment
venues and other artistic applications. It has automatic
stand-alone control modes and can operate via an
external DMX512 signal.
A mounting yoke enables the fixture to be installed and
operated in various positions and orientations.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The FXLE1530W is rated IP20 and is intended for
INDOOR USE ONLY.
Locate the unit in a well-ventilated area away from
moisture or heat. Maintain a minimum spacing of 20"
between the unit and other objects. The maximum
ambient operating temperature is 40ºC (104ºF). Keep
the vent holes clear. Holes are provided on the yoke to
install a traditional lighting C-clamp for mounting on
batten pipe. Use a safety cable attached to the safety
eye when hanging the fixture.
GOBO/FX SLOT ALIGNMENT
To rotate barrel, loosen the two 3mm hex socket head
cap screws on both sides of body behind shutter
handles. Loosen both adjustment knobs at top and
bottom of fixture behind the shutter handles. Once the
GOBO or FX slot is aligned, retighten screws and
knobs.
LENS TUBE ADJUSTMENT
To focus beam, loosen the knobs on the top and
bottom of barrel, extend/retract lens tube as needed for
intended beam and tighten knobs. Support lens tube in
process.
YOKE ADJUSTMENT
To slide yoke along track, loosen 4 screws on both
side brackets with a #2 Phillips screwdriver, adjust
yoke and retighten screws once in desired location.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The FXLE1530W has a line cord for connection to a
100-230 VAC, 50/60Hz, grounded service. Do not
power the unit from a dimmer pack.
When using 120VAC, only connect a maximum of
six FXLE1530W fixtures together with power
connectors.
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 originate at the controller to the first
receiving device and then to others in a continuous
"daisy chain" fashion. An optically isolated DMX splitter
is recommend when installing the FXLE1530W in a
system with various other DMX devices.
The FXLE1530W has a DMX IN and a DMX OUT
connector which are used to connect the DMX data
chain. The control cable can NOT be split into a Y or
multiple run/star arrangement with a cable running
directly from the controller to each receiving device.
DMX CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS
Predominantly two connectors are used for connecting
fixtures and other DMX devices to a DMX control
chain. They are both “XLR type” connectors. Some
units use 3 pin connectors, others use 5 pin
connectors. The FXLE1530W receives a DMX signal
on the 3 pin MALE connector on the rear of the unit.
The 3 pin FEMALE connector is used to connect to the
next DMX device on the control chain.
If your console uses a 5 pin XLR connector, an adapter
cable can be purchased or fabricated to accommodate
this conversion. The following table shows the pin
assignments for both 3 pin and 5 pin XLR connectors:
DMX TERMINATION
It is recommended that a DMX data chain 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 installed very close together and with a short
run of DMX cable to the controller then you may be
able to operate without the terminator.
OPERATION
Power is applied once the power cord is connected to
a live power source. There is not an on/off switch.
Connect power cord to fixture first, then outlet. A
display and user interface is located on the back of the
unit. This interface is used to set the operating options
and settings. It consists of a backlit LCD display and
four buttons (MODE, DOWN, UP, and ENTER).
Use MODE to scroll through the available choices.
Push ENTER when you reach the option you want to
check or set. The current setting for the option will be
shown. Use UP and DOWN until you reach the
desired setting or menu then push ENTER to invoke
the new setting. Use ENTER to exit from the sub
menus.
DMX OPERATION
Use the DMX-Addr menu to set the unit DMX starting
address. The range is 001 - 512. A ‘V’ will be
displayed if a valid DMX signal is present, an ‘x’
represents that no valid DMX signal is present.
For this fixture to operate in DMX mode, the mode
needs to be set for “DMX-Addr” on the LCD display
by pressing the MODE button.
The fixture has 2 DMX modes. 1 channel and 2
channel: Channel 2 is not active in 1 channel mode.
CHANNEL 1: Fixture Intensity (000 - 255).
CHANNEL 2: Strobe Control (000 - 127, 128-255)
000 is Strobe OFF, starts slow and
increases to fastest at 127. From 128-
255 pattern transitions to short light
pulses with longer duration between
pulses as value rises from 128 to 255.
STAND ALONE MODE
You can operate the unit manually using the R-
DIMMER & P-STROBE menu. Use the UP and
DOWN buttons to change the level, Push ENTER
when done. The range is 000 - 255 (See above for
values).
If connecting multiple FXLE1530W fixtures together in
stand-alone mode, set the DMX address on additional
units to d001 to follow the main fixture.

DMX-KEEP: ON/OFF
The DMX-KEEP mode determines the characteristic of
the fixture upon the loss of the DMX input signal. The
LED array will either turn on or off based on the DMX-
KEEP setting when DMX signal is lost.
BK-LIGHT: ON/OFF
The backlight for the LCD display remains on at all
times if this function is set to ON. When Backlight is set
to OFF, then the backlit display will turn off 30 seconds
after the last button push on the control panel.
NOW TEMP
Provides operating temperature in ºC.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
TROUBLESHOOTING
Fixture will not power up.
Check that you have power applied to the
unit.
Check the fuse located on the back panel of
the fixture.
Unable to control fixture.
Check that the LCD display currently
indicates “DMX-addr”.
Check the LCD display on the fixture, if there
is a V after the DMX value, a valid DMX
signal is present. If an ‘x’ is showing, then a
valid DMX signal is not present.
Verify that the fixture is properly addressed.
Check the DMX control cable for continuity
and polarity.
Remove the fixture from the DMX chain and
all other DMX devices.
Check the address settings or patch at the
controller.
CLEANING
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE
HANDLING THE UNIT.
A mild detergent can be used sparingly if needed.
Apply to cloth first, do not apply detergents directly to
fixture. Do not use chemicals or solvents when
cleaning the fixture. Ensure that the unit is dry before
use.
REPAIR
The only FXLE1530W user serviceable part is a 5 mm
x 20 mm externally accessible fuse on the rear panel.
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD BEFORE
CHECKING OR REPLACING THE FUSE.
Replace fuse ONLY with 5.0 Amp, 250VAC, fast acting
fuse. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver. Use caution to not
overtighten.
Internal service on the unit by other than Lightronics
authorized agents will void the warranty.
If service is required, contact the dealer from whom
