Safety power lockout procedures must be followed.
Safe electrical and working practices must be observed.
WARNING
This fixture has rotating parts with pinch points.
Fixture may move without warning.
No personal within range of motion
Never operate with any covers missing.
WARNING
High energy light output will burn skin and ignite combustible materials. Do
not operate in the proximity of materials that are adversely affected by heat
or light.
Lamp housing becomes very hot when in operation.
Never look directly at the light source
When fixtures are mounted in close proximity to one another, care must be
taken so that output energy from one fixture is not directed at another
fixture or electrical cabling.
FIXTURE ADDRESSING
Fixture addressing is performed at the rear of the fixture hanger assembly.
The fixture can be programmed to operate in DMX mode or FIXTURE mode
(for use with the hand controller). Because each LRX fixture requires sixteen
DMX channels for operation, FIXTURE mode is merely a convenient way of
skipping DMX channels in 16 channel increments, beginning with DMX
channel #001. Additionally, fixture mode provides power to a connected hand
controller, which is also designed to work in 16 channel increments.
DMX Connector pin out: (also see important note below)
Pin 1 = ground
Pin 2 = Data negative
Pin 3 = Data positive
Pin 4 = 12VDC negative
Pin 5 = 12 VDC positive

LRX™ RAPTOR

SPECIFICATIONS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE

When the LRX fixture is in FIXTURE mode, pins 4 & 5 on the DMX IN
connector become energized to 12VDC to supply power to the hand controller.
No power is supplied to pins 4 & 5 when in DMX mode. Ensure that fixture is
in the correct mode prior to connecting DMX lines. Always connect the hand
controller to the fixture with the power off. Damage could result if attempting
to connect the hand controller to the LRX fixture while the power is on.
The mode (square icon) on the left is used to toggle between DMX mode and
FIXTURE mode. FIXTURE mode is designated by a capital ‘F’ in the left-most
digit, with the remaining two digits indicating the fixture number. E.g.
F01=fixture#1, etc. DMX mode is shown as a three digit number from 001 to
512. Once the mode is selected the fixture number or DMX address can be
increased or decreased using the up/down arrows on right side of the switch
assembly. When the correct FIXTURE/address has been selected, the store
(round icon) button second from the left is pressed and held (until the display
stops flashing) to store that address. It is important to note that the LRX
fixture will not begin responding to a newly selected FIXTURE/DMX address
until it has been stored by pressing and holding the store (round icon) button.
If the display is flashing, this is a warning that the displayed FIXTURE/DMX
address does not match the address that fixture is currently responding to.
Saving the displayed address tells the fixture to begin listening and responding
to the new address. If the address is not stored within five seconds it will
return to the previous set
The LRX fixture always writes the last saved address and mode to non-volatile
memory, such that in the event of a power interruption, the fixture will power
up with the mode and address it was using before the power interrupt.
Pressing and holding the mode button will provide access to the hour meter.
Once in hour meter mode press the up icon to display bulb hours, indicated as
a scrolling number. It will show as a blank digit followed by three digits then a
decimal place and two more digits (i.e. _120.59). The bulb hours can be reset
by pressing and holding the store button until the meter zeros, about five
seconds.
To display fixture hours, press the down icon. Fixture hours will be displayed
as a scrolling number with an “F” prefix. This can’t be reset by the user.

DMX CHANNEL ALLOCATION
When using the LRX with a lighting console or other device that offers
discrete control over the DMX channels, they are used by the fixture as follows:
Where N= base channel of fixture. [LRX DMX address shown on display]:
N + (0-9) = motor control (depends on MODE)
N+10 = GEL fan ON/OFF (OFF<127<=ON)
N+11 = lamp control (unimplemented)
N+12 = motor control MODE: N+12<127 = BUMP MODE
N+12>=127 = FADER MODE
N+13 = reserved (future use)
N+14 = reserved (future use)
N+15 = reserved (future use)
If (MODE = BUMP): (n+12<128)
(N+0 > 127) = pan left
(N+1 > 127) = pan right
(N+2 > 127) = tilt up
(N+3 > 127) = tilt down
(N+4 > 127) = spot
(N+5 > 127) = flood
(N+6 > 127) = trolley left
(N+7 > 127) = trolley right
(N + 8, 9) = reserved (future use)
If (MODE=FADER): (n+12>=128)
(N+0 < 64) = pan left
(N+0 > 127) = pan right
(N+1 < 64) = tilt up
(N+1 > 127) = tilt down
(N+2 < 64) = spot
(N+2 > 127) = flood
(N+3 < 64) = trolley left
(N+3 > 127) = trolley right
(N+4 thru 9) = reserved (future use); each motor above is stopped
when the fader is in the middle of its range (DMX value 64-127)

HAND CONTROLLER
The hand controller will allow fixture selection,(up to 32 fixtures), control of
tilt - up/down, pan - left/right and flood/spot functions and will also shut off
individual gel cooling fans or all gel cooling fans connected to that controller.
All switches act as momentary type. When the “Individual Gel Fan Stop” switch
is held the gel fan for the fixture indicated on the display stops. When the “All
Gel Fans Stop” switch is held all gel fans connected to that hand controller will
stop.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
NO DISPLAY AT REAR OF HANGER ASSEMBLY
Ensure 120vac power to fixture is live and on a non-dimmed line.
Remove DMX connectors and inspect contact pins for damage and signs of
corrosion
Inspect 120 volt U ground supply wire for cuts or mechanical damage
Inspect U ground plug contacts.
Power switch is on (up position)
FIXTURE DOESN’T RESPOND TO ANY FUNCTIONS
REQUESTED FROM HAND CONTROLLER
Establish power is correct and display is functioning properly, see above.
Test with another hand controller if available. If still unresponsive proceed
to next step.
Remove DMX connectors and inspect contact pins for damage and no signs
of corrosion. Note all five wires and pins are required to operate hand
controller.
Check hanger display for proper addressing and mode. For use with hand
controller the fixture display must show the “F” prefix; not the three digit
DMX channel and the display must not be flashing.
It is important to note that the LRX fixture will not begin responding to a
newly selected FIXTURE/DMX address until it has been stored by pressing
and holding the store (round icon) button. If the display is flashing, this is
a warning that the displayed FIXTURE/DMX address does not match the
address that the fixture is currently responding to.
Plug hand controller directly into fixture, at this point the hand controller
should light up and DMX light on the fixture should also light up. At this
point if the unit is not operational test with another hand controller.
Ensure the address at the fixture matches the address on the hand
controller.
If still not operational, place fixture into DMX mode and test with an
alternative DMX source.
Call for service

TILT, PAN OR FOCUS MOTOR
NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY.
Head moves freely without control:
This may indicate the fixture has received impact and the drive gear has
been damaged or drive may have become disengaged.
Head not moving on one axis but other axis is fine
Test with another hand controller if available. If still unresponsive proceed
to next step.
This may indicate the fixture has received impact and the drive gear has
been damaged or drive may have become disengaged.
Actuate drive function and listen for motor operation. The tilt and pan drive
assemblies use a slip clutch inline between the motor and drive gear as a
protective measure, this clutch will slip and make a clicking sound once
each revolution when driven by the motor, if the clutch has exceeded it
preset limits.
If any of these conditions exist, suspend use of the product and call for
service.
There are no user serviceable parts.
LAMPS NOT WORKING
Check Soca extension cables and fixture panel mount connector pins
Ensure correct lamp input power is available at head cable.
Check lamps, socket contacts and wiring.
TROLLEY DOESN’T RESPOND
Dangerous voltage present at socket.
Test with LRX hardwired trolley hand controller. If it now works problem
with fixture, hand controller, lighting console.
