Preparation for use
AC power connection
The Portman Custom Lights P1 Mini must be installed at 100-240V and 50/60Hz.
Fixture automatically detects the alternating current frequency. To turn on the fixture
simply plug in the powerCON TRUE1 and set the power switch to “ON”. Use only high
quality 3 x 2.5 mm2or larger mains power cords. Inspect all the power feed cables for
damages before use. Make sure to always connect the fixtures to a protected circuit
with appropriate electrical ground. Do never connect the fixture to a dimmer plug,
even if it supplies proper current.
Only qualified electricians in accordance with all known electrical regulations can
install the fixtures.
The P1 Mini comes with power input cord terminated with powerCON TRUE1 on one
end and tube connectors on the other end. Follow the rules from table below to
assemble power plug to the wire:

Installation
Before mounting the fixture read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in
the Safety Information.
The Portman P1 Mini may be installed on a tripod or on a clamp. The fixture has 13 mm
(0,512 in) hole for a spigot, rigging clamp or a screw. Before rigging operations make
sure, that the structure onto which you are mounting the fixtures can withstand the
weight of all of the fixtures. Check if there is enough room for ventilation, configuration
and maintenance in a location where you want to place the fixture. You must secure
every hanged fixture with appropriate safety wire.
REMEMBER! Always secure hanged fixture with safety wire!
To adjust the position of the fixture when aiming it to the desired angle, use the side
handles. Loosen them by turning them counterclockwise before adjustment and set
the desired angle. Tighten the handles after adjusting the position by turning them
clockwise. Operate handles carefully and manually only. Tools can damage them.
Always double check if the fixture’s handles are tightened properly.

USER MANUAL –Portman Custom Lights P1 Retro Lamp |
12/23
You can easily change the orientation of tightened handles to make your rig look even
better. Gently pull the tightened handle to disengage its teeth and rotate it into the
desired orientation. By releasing the handle the return spring automatically engages
the teeth.

USER MANUAL –Portman Custom Lights P1 Mini | Operation modes

Operation modes
The Portman P1 Mini can work in two operation modes: Regular and Macro. Regular
mode is designed to work with DMX signal and Macro mode is designed to operate
the fixture manually, without external controlling signal. However the DMX signal has
got the highest priority and the fixture always reacts to connected DMX signal
regardless the operating mode.

There are three ways to operate the fixture in the Regular mode. You can use DMX wire,
onboard manual control or WDMX to control the fixture(if the WDMX card is installed).
You can link the P1 Mini to a DMX controller using a 5 pin DMX wire, or Wireless
Solution Sweden hardware (if WDMX card is installed). You can control each channel
individually whether with a DMX controller or a manual control build in the fixture. The
P1 Retro Lamp has got only one 7-channel DMX personality and it does support RDM.
In Regular mode fixture does not remember manual settings after reset.
To remember manual settings after reset you have to use Macro mode. You can set
any lighting scene using manual control section in the fixture’s menu or play build in
macros. The fixture always switches to DMX when DMX wire connected. After
disconnecting DMX in Macro mode fixture always gets back to last macro/manual
setting.
RDM
RDM (Remote Device Management) is an enhancement of DMX 512 protocol and
allows the bi-directional communication between DMX consoles and fixtures. It works
simultaneously with DMX 512 and on the same lines and wires. RDM is not affecting
non-RDM devices in a line, however non-RDM devices can disrupt communication
with console. RDM allows you to change the fixture’s options (such as DMX address)

USER MANUAL –Portman Custom Lights P1 Retro Lamp | Operation modes
14/23
without even touching neither ladder or fixture’s buttons. P1 Mini fully supports the
RDM standards.
Manual operation
The fixture works in manual operation when it’s not receiving DMX signal whether
wired or wireless. You can adjust the brightness of all filaments at once from main
screen, or you can control each source individually from the “MANUAL CONTROL”
option in the menu (refer to the “Menu” chapter to learn how to manually control
channels). To enter menu simply hold enter for 2 seconds.
DMX 512 modes
The fixture automatically switches into DMX mode after receiving DMX data. To learn
how to change the DMX address or signal source (wired or wireless) refer to the “Menu”
chapter. When the fixture works in the wired DMX mode You can daisy chain fixtures
using 5 pin DMX wires. When daisy chaining remember, that you can connect up to
32 devices per DMX 512 universe. Always terminate the DMX 512 line. Put the 120 Ω
terminator into last device’s DMX OUT XLR socket.
When the fixture works in the wireless mode (only when WDMX card is installed) it is
receiving DMX 512 signal from Wireless Solution Sweden transmitters and can send
the signal throughout the 5 pin DMX OUT XLR socket. You can put the fixture with
WDMX card installed as a first fixture in a line and use it as a WDMX receiver. The P1
Mini supports bi - directional WDMX TRX module. It means, that the fixture supports
RDM in wireless mode too. To link P1 Mini with W-DMX transmitter first use “UPAIR
ALL WDMX DEVICES” option from menu, than turn the scanning mode on in the
transmitter. Transmitter will link with all unlinked devices. For more detailed
information please refer to your transmitter’s user manual.
