Fixture setup

• COOLING MODE lets you select between three cooling fan options:
- REGULATED FANS optimizes cooling fan operation for light output. It controls fixture temperature by
varying cooling fan speed up to the maximum speed available and does not limit light intensity provided
that the ambient temperature does not exceed the specified maximum of 40° C (104° F).
- FULL optimizes cooling fan operation for the lowest possible temperature by setting cooling fans to run
constantly at full speed.
- THEATER MODE optimizes the fixture to obtain the lowest possible noise levels. It limits maximum light
output to 70% of the normal maximum level, it sets cooling fans to run at REGULATED speed (see
above) and it sets the LED PWM frequency to 1200 Hz.
• DISPLAY offers the following options for the LCD display:
- DISPLAY ROTATION lets you rotate the display manually through 180° so that it can be read easily no
matter how the fixture is oriented.
- DISPLAY INTENSITY lets you adjust the brightness of the display backlighting by setting the intensity
to a level from 10% to 100%.
- TEMPERATURE UNIT lets you choose whether the fixture should display all temperature readings in
Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Factory defaults
DEFAULT SETTINGS lets you reload the fixture’s factory default settings. Effect calibration settings are not
affected, but all other user settings are returned to factory defaults.
Test sequences
The FIXTURE TEST menu lets you test:
• all the fixture’s effects
• dimming functionality
• each individual mechanical effect, or
• pan and tilt only.
Before you run a test, prepare for the head to move and the fixture to light up suddenly without warning.
To run a test:
• In the FIXTURE TEST menu, scroll to TEST ALL, TEST DIMMER, TEST EFFECTS or TEST PAN/TILT
and press Enter.
• In the TEST EFFECTS menu, scroll to the effect you want to test and press Enter to start a test sequence
for that effect.
• In the TEST PAN/TILT menu, choose PAN or TILT, make sure that the fixture is held securely and that
there is no danger of the head colliding, then press Enter to start the test sequence.
• Press MENU to stop the test sequence.
Fixture information readouts
The following fixture information can be called up in the display:
• POWER ON TIME is a non user-resettable counter that displays total hours the fixture has been powered
on since manufacture.
• LED HOURS is a non user-resettable counter that displays total hours the LEDs have been powered on
since manufacture.
• SW VERSION displays the currently installed firmware (fixture software) version.
• FIXTURE ID lets you set a custom four-digit ID number for the fixture.
• RDM UID displays the fixture’s factory-set unique ID for identification in RDM systems.
• TEMPERATURES displays the current PCB temperature readouts for the fixture’s base and LED array.
• FIXTURE TYPE displays the current fixture configuration: ERA 600 Performance or ERA 600 Profile. If
you convert the fixture by removing the Performance’s framing module and replacing it with the Profile’s
Gobo Wheel 3 module, for example, the fixture will automatically detect the new module and switch to the
