The SS2 Series are active, top-of-the-line RGBW color changing fixtures that can be used in indoor or outdoor projects.They
draw on solid-state elements, to produce highlights and washes in architectural spaces. RGBW is an acronym for Red Green
Blue and White. RGBW LED color mixing luminaires have the potential to produce 4.3 billion colors and 16.7 million white
light tones.
When installed and operated according to this manual, these fixtures will operate safely and dependably for their rated
lifespan.
These luminaries require a USITT DMX 512 control signal on four consecutive channels total. The unit includes a DATA OUT
output for connection to additional units or other DMX512 devices.

NOTE: Supply lead wires should not be connected to a dimmer of any sort.
DATA CONNECTION
•Inline DMX amplifier required if run length exceeds: 125 feet between fixtures (others)
•Maximum run length from DMX controller to last fixture: 1000 feet
•DMX must be continuous from controller to last fixture in a run. A splitter is needed if signal is split
•If provided data cables won’t be used, please note that any cables must meet EIA-RS485 requirements and warranty may
be voided
•To comply with all local codes and jurisdiction, qualified communications technicians must do communications wiring
•To avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to connect to a DMX signal terminator
•Communication cables and AC power lines must not be run in the same conduit
oRoute Data Cables in series between fixture and any communications accessories using DATA IN and DATA OUT
oTo ensure they are easily accessed once construction is complete, secure data cables near the fixtures

MAINTENANCE
We recommend periodic cleaning. Over time these components can become dirty or full of debris. This can result in lack of
cooling or can limit the capabilities of the fixture. Lens:Clean the front Lexan® as required using window cleaner or mild
soap and water. Dry with a quality paper towel to avoid scratches or streaks. Mounts/Fasteners:Check annually for
tightness and security to avoid damage to the fixture and possible liability.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If problems occur during usage, unplug the product immediately and email [e-mail] or call 800-595-6302.
Replacing a Failed Fixture: “Hot Swapping” a fixture is not allowed. If a fixture needs to be replaced, the steps are to:
1. Disconnect the DMX input at the junction box of the fixture needing replacement, THEN disconnect DMX output
2. Replace fixture
3. Reconnect AC negative, THEN AC positive
4. Reconnect DATA output, THEN DATA input
5. Reconnect power and make sure the replaced fixture and the entire system is in working order
If fixture does not light, check if:
•Electrical power is not connected.
•Electrical power is less than specific voltage.
•Electrical power is greater than specified voltage.
If fixture does not respond to DMX control signal, check if:
•DMX control device and RGBW are addressed differently.
•DMX cable is damaged.
•DMX control device is disconnected or not operating.
•DMX device needs to be restarted.
•
LED fixture was not restarted after address change.
•Restart fixture.
If the fixture is not responding to DMX, check if:
•
DMX addressing is incorrect: Check Control Panel and unit addressing.
•The wrong polarity settings may be on the controller: Check polarity switch settings on the controller.
•DMX cables may be loose: Check cable connectors.
If DMX control operation flickers or is intermittent, check if:
•RGBW fixture or final DMX device in daisy chain is not terminated.
•DMX cable is damaged.
•DMX control device is operating at less than 25Hz.
If there is a loss of signal, check if:
•Non-DMX cables are being used: Use only DMX compatible cables
•Signals are bouncing:
DMX terminator is not installed as suggested.
If output is less than normal, check if:
•E
n v i r on m e nt t e m p e r a tu r e m a y b e i n e x c e ss o f 114 °F/ 45 ° C .
•Lens may be damaged or dirty.
•DMX control or RGBW channels may be set at low level.
