Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear to be damaged from shipping or the carton
itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that the fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and
packing.
Your shipment includes:
●Showtec Candela Pix 50
●2 brackets and screws (pre-installed)
●Quick-lock
●PowerCON True 1powercable 1,5m
●User manual
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.
Safety Instructions
Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this device has to:
●be qualified
●follow the instructions of this manual
Before your initial start-up, please make sure that there is no damage caused by transportation. Should

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX
optically isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link: 7 @ 100V
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link: 16 @ 240V
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.

DMX Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the backside of the device allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is
the first channel from which the Candela Pix will respond to the controller. Please note when you use the
controller, the unit has up to 28 channels. When using multiple Candela Pixs, make sure you set the DMX
addresses right. Therefore, the DMX address of the first Candela Pix should be 1(001); the DMX address of
the second Candela Pix should be 1+28=29 (029); the DMX address of the third Candela Pix should be
29+28=57 (057), etc. Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control
each Candela Pix correctly. If two or more Candela Pixs are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Candela Pixs, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Candela Pix will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the text “DMX In“ on the control panel will not appear.
If not, the problem may be:
●The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Candela Pix.
●The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 25 seconds
When no button is pressed for 30 seconds, the display will turn off. To light up the display, you have to
press the MODE and SET button. When the timer on the display reaches zero, release the buttons and the
display will light up.
