AC power connection
The Portman Lights P2 Hexaline must be installed at 200-240V and 50/60Hz. Fixture
automatically detects the alternating current frequency. To power the fixture simply
plug in the powerCon TRUE1 and set the switch to “ON”. Use only high quality 2.5 mm
diameter or larger power feed cables. 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 P2 comes with power input cord terminated with powerCON TRUE1 on one end
and Uni - Schuko plug on the other end (for European market). If your cord has got no

hanging adaptor. The fixture and the hanging adaptor have 15 mm hole for spigot or
rigging clamp. 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.

Operation modes

USER MANUAL –Portman P2 hexaline | Operation modes
12/16
The Portman P3 PIX3L 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 P3
PIX3L to a DMX controller using a 5 pin DMX wires, 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 P3 PIX3L has got only
one 3-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. P3 PIX3L 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 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 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 P3 PIX3L supports bi - directional WDMX TRX module. It
means, that the fixture supports RDM in wireless mode too. To link P3 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.
