TL-F 000 Fresnel Operators Manual
The TL-F 000 is a white LED Fresnel spotlight suitable for general lighting in theatres and TV studios,
and for exhibition and display in art galleries and museums. It is available fitted with colour runners to
hold colour filters and beam shaping barndoors for theatre use, or without colour runners for display use.
The model can be changed by the user as the parts are included for both Theatre and Display types.
ower Connection
The F 000 requires a non-dimmed power supply of rated voltage marked on the back panel.
 Operating the F1000 on a dimmed power supply will void your warranty
 Plug the supplied power cable between the F 000 IEC socket and a power supply
 Ensure the power supply is rated within the limits on the F 000 back panel
 Ensure the power supply has an effective Earth connection
Standalone Operation
When DMX is not connected, the finger settable Level knob controls the intensity/rate of the
fade/effects function set by the Mode switch. Standalone operation is useful for permanent lighting
or effects, or for local On/Off control when focussing:
 Set the Mode Switch for the following effects:

 Set the Level knob above zero if a permanent minimum intensity/rate is required
 Press the Test key to test at Full the intensity or rate of the effect
DMX Two Channel Operation
If DMX is connected and the Mode Switch set to 0, the highest of the DMX Start Channel (DMX )
and the Level knob controls the intensity/rate of the fade/effects function which is set by the D X
channel following the Start Channel (DMX 2):
 Plug a DMX cable from a control panel into the XLR (or RJ45) connector labelled ‘DMX In’
 Link the DMX signal to other F 000s using the ‘DMX Out’ connector
 Set the DMX Start Address switch to the required DMX address (eg set 00 to respond to
DMX Channels and 2, set 5 to respond to DMX Channels 5 and 5 2 etc)
 Set the Mode Switch to 0 for Two Channel operation
 On the control panel, set the DMX 2 level to select the following effects:
0- 0%: Fade time matches 250 watt tungsten bulbs
20%: Fade time matches 500 watt tungsten bulbs
30%: Fade time matches kw tungsten bulbs
40%: Fade time matches 2 kw tungsten bulbs
50%: Fade time matches 5 kw tungsten bulbs

 Press the Test key to test at Full the intensity or rate of the effect
Wireless DMX Operation
The F 000 can be supplied fitted with a Wireless DMX receiver able to receive either Lumen Radio
or Wirelesss Solutions (WDMX) transmissions. A wireless DMX signal takes instant priority over any
cable DMX signal. If the Wireless DMX fails, the F 000 reverts to the cable DMX signal if present.
 To link currently powered On but unlinked F 000s to the transmitter, follow the instructions
provided with the transmitter (usually a short press of the transmitter link key)
 To unlink an F 000 from its transmitter, press the Test key for 3 seconds: the F 000 reverts to
the cable DMX signal (if any) within second
In F 000s fitted with Wireless DMX, the Blue LED in the Test key indicates:
 Blue LED Off: Not linked
 Blue LED 00ms On/Off: Linked, Transmitter Off
 Blue LED 000ms On/ 00ms Off: Linked, Transmitter On, DMX Off
 Blue LED On: Linked, Transmitter On, DMX On
The Blue LED is set off 5 minutes after power up or a change to the back panel controls.
The selected DMX Start Address is valid for both Wireless and Cable DMX.
Focus adjustment
The F 000 has a quick acting focus knob at the right front of the body. To focus the lens:
 Unlock the focus knob by turning it so it points down
 Move the focus knob forward to narrow the beam, or back to widen the beam
 Lock the focus knob by turning it so it points either forward or back
Tilt adjustment
The F 000 is fitted with a tilt lock knob on the right side of the yoke:
 Turn the tilt knob anticlockwise half a turn, then adjust the tilt position
 Turn the tilt knob clockwise to lock the tilt position
an adjustment
The F 000 is supplied with an M 0 bolt, wing-nut, flat washer, split washer, and friction washer:
 Fit the composition friction washer between the F 000 yoke and its hook clamp
 Fit the flat washer on top of the hook clamp, then the split washer and wingnut
 Set the pan position, then tighten the wingnut to the required tension
Colour Frame fitting
Each F 000 is supplied with colour frame which accepts standard colour filter sheet:
 Fit the colour frame in the inner slot of the F 000 colour runners
 Set the colour frame latch forward to prevent the colour frame falling out
Barndoors fitting
The F 000 can be fitted with an optional 4 leaf rotating set of barndoors:
 Fit the barndoors in the outer colour runner slot, with the safety cable at the top right corner
 Pass the safety cable clip around the right side of the yoke and clip it back on its own wire
 Set the colour frame latch forward to prevent the barndoors falling out
DMX Fail behaviour
If the Wireless DMX signal fails, the F 000 reverts to the cable DMX signal. If the cable DMX signal
fails, the F 000 maintains the previous DMX levels for 0 minutes before fading out over 5 minutes
for Modes -5, or instant off for Modes 6-9.
Status LED indications
The Status LED shows the status of the DMX signal (Green) and the internal Temperature (Red):
 DMX (Green): On = DMX OK; Flash = DMX errors; Off = No DMX (for 5 mins after power on)
 Temperature (Red): Blink = >60°C; On = >65°C; Flash = >70°C; Off = Normal temperature
If the F 000 is above 65°C, the LED level is faded down slowly, and faded back in when cooler.
