Preparation for use
AC power connection
The Portman Custom Lights P1 Retro Lamp must be installed at 200-240V and
50/60Hz AC. Fixture automatically detects the alternating current frequency. To turn on
the fixture simply plug in the powerCon and set the power switch to “ON” position. 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 you are always connecting 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 comes with power input cord terminated with powerCON on one end and Uni
- Schuko plug on the other end (for European market). If your cord has got no Uni –
Shuko plug, or you want to change the plug follow the rules from table below:

Installation
Before mounting the fixture read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in
the Safety Information.
The Portman P1 Retro Lamp 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. You can aim the fixture
to any position that you want except towards the rigging structure. The main part can
spin 3600in the yoke. Remember not to let power and DMX wires touch the surface of
the fixture. Always keep safe distance from the closest object.

REMEMBER! Always secure hanged fixture with appropriate 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.
You can easily change the orientation of tightened handles to make your rig looks 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 Lights P1 Retro Lamp |Operation modes

Operation modes
The Portman P1 Retro Lamp can work in three operation modes: Wired DMX mode,
Wireless DMX mode (if the WDMX card is installed) and standalone mode. You can link
The P1 Retro Lamp to a DMX controller using a 5 or 3 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.
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 fixtures options (such as DMX address) without
even touching neither ladder or fixture’s buttons. P1 Retro Lamp fully supports the RDM
standards.
Standalone mode
The fixture works in standalone mode when it’s not receiving DMX signal whether wired
or wireless. You can adjust the brightness of all light sources at once, 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 halogens). 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 or 3 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.
REMEMBER! Always terminate DMX line!

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 or 3 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
Retro Lamp supports bi - directional WDMX TRX module. It means, that the fixture
supports RDM in wireless mode too. To link P1 Retro Lamp with W-DMX transmitter first
use “UPAIR ALL WDMX DEVICES” option from menu, than turn the scanning mode in
the transmitter. Transmitter will link with all unlinked devices. For more detailed
information please refer to your transmitter’s user manual.
