The Elation SIXPAR 300™ is a sophisticated electronic lighting fixture designed for professional use, offering a range of features for versatile lighting applications. This device is controlled via DMX-512 protocol, allowing for integration into complex lighting systems and remote management.
The SIXPAR 300™ functions primarily as a DMX-controlled lighting fixture, capable of producing a wide spectrum of colors and effects. It features (18) 12W 6-in-1 RGBAW+UV LEDs, enabling it to generate red, green, blue, amber, white, and ultraviolet light. This broad color palette allows for extensive creative control over lighting environments. The fixture supports multiple DMX channel modes (6, 7, 8, or 12 channels), providing flexibility in how it is controlled by a DMX controller.
A key function of the SIXPAR 300™ is its ability to operate within a DMX-512 network, which is a universal protocol for communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. This allows multiple SIXPAR 300™ units, or other DMX-compliant devices, to be linked together and controlled from a single DMX controller. The fixture sends and receives DMX data via standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connectors, facilitating daisy-chaining in a DMX line.
The device also incorporates Remote Device Management (RDM) capabilities. RDM is a protocol that sits atop DMX512, enabling bi-directional communication between the fixture and an RDM-enabled controller. This allows for remote modification and monitoring of fixture settings, such as DMX address, DMX channel mode, and temperature sensors. This feature is particularly useful for fixtures installed in hard-to-reach locations, as it eliminates the need for direct physical access to adjust settings.
Beyond DMX control, the SIXPAR 300™ offers internal programs for standalone operation or simplified control. These include color chase macros (30 Color Chase Macro, 6 Color Chase Macro) and a color fade macro, each with adjustable speed and strobe effects. The fixture also provides various dimming curve modes (Standard, Stage, TV, Architectural, Theatre) to suit different application requirements, ensuring smooth and precise dimming from 0% to 100%. An electronic strobe effect is also built-in, offering various strobe speeds and patterns, including pulse and random strobe effects.
The SIXPAR 300™ is designed for ease of use and installation, with several features enhancing its operational flexibility. The fixture includes a 4-button touch control panel and an LCD menu display located on its back, providing an intuitive interface for accessing and adjusting settings. Users can navigate through different function menus using the MODE button, select menus with the ENTER button, and adjust variable fields with the UP and DOWN buttons. This on-board system menu allows for direct configuration of DMX address, channel modes, internal programs, and dimming curves.
For safety and security, the LCD control panel can be locked to prevent unauthorized changes. This lockout feature is activated after a specified period of inactivity and requires a specific sequence of button presses to unlock, ensuring that settings remain as configured.
Installation is facilitated by dual yokes, which serve as rigging points for mounting the fixture to a truss using an appropriately rated professional-grade rigging clamp (not included). The yokes also provide a designated point for attaching a secondary safety cable, which is crucial for suspended installations to prevent the fixture from falling if the primary clamp fails. The fixture's "S" knobs allow for tightening the brackets/yokes, ensuring secure positioning.
The SIXPAR 300™ is equipped with twist-locking power cables for secure power connections and supports multiple unit power linking, simplifying power distribution in multi-fixture setups. It also features 3-pin and 5-pin DMX input and output connectors, offering compatibility with various DMX systems. For optimal DMX data transmission, especially in longer runs, the use of a DMX terminator is recommended, and the manual provides guidance on its connection.
The fixture's robust design and IP65 rating indicate its suitability for outdoor use and protection against dust and water ingress, expanding its application possibilities to environments where weather resistance is required.
Maintaining the SIXPAR 300™ is straightforward, focusing on routine cleaning and inspections to ensure optimal performance and extended lifespan. The manual emphasizes the importance of frequent cleaning, especially in damp, smoky, or dirty environments, to prevent dirt and debris accumulation on the fixture's optics. Cleaning the external lens surface every 20 days with a soft cloth is recommended, while explicitly advising against the use of alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.
For safety, it is crucial to disconnect power before performing any maintenance or cleaning procedures. The fixture is designed with no user-serviceable parts inside, meaning all service issues should be referred to an authorized Elation service technician. This approach ensures that any repairs or part replacements are handled by qualified personnel, preserving the manufacturer's warranty and the fixture's integrity.
Regular inspections are a key aspect of maintenance, recommended to ensure proper function and extended life. These inspections should include:
The fixture also requires adequate cooling space, with a recommendation to allow approximately 6 inches (15cm) between the fixture and other devices or walls. All fan and air inlets must remain clean and unobstructed to ensure proper ventilation and prevent overheating. After operation, it is advised to turn off the power and allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before handling or servicing.
For transportation, especially for service, it is recommended to use the original packaging and materials to protect the fixture. These maintenance guidelines are designed to ensure the SIXPAR 300™ operates reliably and safely over many years.
