w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m GENERAL GUIDELINES • N E V E R O P E N T H I S F I X T U R E W H I L E I N U S E ! • During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the interior of the fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the casing burning off from the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over time.

C A U T I O N S • For added protection, mount the fixture in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or in areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m SAFETY CABLE Always use a Safety Cable whenever installing this fixture in a suspended environment to ensure the fixture will not drop if the clamp fails. CLAMP MOUNTING The E SPOT LED II™ provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that integrates the bottom of the base, the included “Omega Bracket,” and the safety cable rigging point in one unit (see the illustration below).
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m SECURING Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your E SPOT LED II™ always be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable. The fixture provides a built-in rigging point for a safety cable on the hanging bracket as illustrated above. Be sure to only use the designated rigging point for the safety cable and never secure a safety cable to a carrying handle.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m UNDERSTANDING DMX DMX-512 DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. DMX allows all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller. This is possible as long as all the fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m DMX-512 CONNECTION WITH DMX TERMINATOR A DMX terminator should be used in all DMX lines especially in longer runs. The use of a terminator may avoid erratic behavior in your DMX line. A terminator is a 120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor that is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This fixture is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last fixture in your daisy chain to terminate the line.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m DMX ADDRESSING All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m FIXTURE MENU ON-BOARD SYSTEM MENU The E SPOT LED II™ comes with an easy to navigate system menu.

w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m Operation Operating Modes: The E SPOT LED II™ can operate in six different modes. This next section will detail the differences in the operating modes. • Auto Program Mode (Master) - The fixture will chase through the built-in programs, sending a DMX control signal to all other fixtures connect via DMX cables instruction for a synchronized light show. • Auto Program Mode (Stand-Alone) - The fixture will chase through the built-in program.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m Master/Slave Operation (Auto Program or Music Control): This function allows up to 16 fixtures to be linked together to provide a synchronized light show without the use of a controller. Only use this when linking several fixtures together for use without a controller. Any fixture can act as a “Master” or a “Slave”. § Using XLR DMX cables, daisy chain your fixtures together via the XLR connectors.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m WORKING WITH BUILT-IN PROGRAMS The fixture comes equipped with a built-in DMX recorder that allows custom programs to be installed and recalled directly from the fixture’s control board. Programs can be created and stored using the fixture’s control board or by using an external DMX controller. The following instructions will detail the procedures for using the on-board system menu as well as using a DMX compliant controller.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m - “Auto Program” – Allows access to all 14 of the fixture’s DMX traits. - “PAN” – pan movement. - “PAN-Fine” – precision pan movement. - “TILT” – tilt movement. - “TILT-Fine” – precision tilt movement - “Move Speed” – adjust pan and tilt motor speed - “Gobo Wheel 1” – select gobos from gobo wheel 1 - “Gobo Rot. 1” – adjust gobo 1 indexing or rotation - “Prism” – select a prism, prism macro, or frost - “Prism Rot.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m Step 2 – Editing Programs. The control will store a maximum of 10 programs. A program can store one or a maximum of 64 scenes. Keep in mind that a scene can only be access when it is stored inside one of the 10 available programs. • Access the main menu and toggle to “Edit Programs” which is menu function 12. • Then press ENTER and toggle to “Program 1”. • When you get to the “Program 1” function press ENTER.

w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m ERROR CODES When power is applied, the unit will automatically enter a “Reset/Test” mode. This mode brings all the internal motors to a home position. If there is an internal problem with one or more of the motors an error code will flash in the display in the form of “XXer” were as XX will represent a function number. For example, when the display shows “0Er” it means there is some type of error with the Pan motor.
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m Color-Wheel Error: The color wheel is not located in the default position after start-up or after a reset command. This message will appear after a fixture reset if the color wheel’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective motor or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB).
w w w . e l a t i o n l i g h t i n g . c o m CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING Frequent cleaning is recommended to insure proper function, optimized light output, and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics. • Clean the external lens surface at least every 20 days with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.
