PixelRange pixelline 1044 User Manual

1
General set up
1 Mount the fixture in the required position using the supplied
combi yoke or optional floor plate set (p/n: SSFLP).
Important
• When suspended off ground, always use safety wires rated
to a minimum of 55kg (121lbs) at both ends of the fixture
through the safety wire holes.
• Do not position the fixture close to fog machines. The fog
oil mist will be drawn in by the cooling fans and will short
out important components. The warranty will be void for all
fixtures returned in such a condition.
2 Connect the power in and DMX in leads at the left end of the
fixture.
3 Where multiple fixtures are to be daisy-chained, connect power
out and DMX leads at the right end of the fixture.
Important
• When daisy-chaining fixtures, do not exceed a total load of
3kW in a single daisy chain (subject to supply and cabling re
-
strictions). Each PixelLine 1044 fixture has a maximum power
requirement of 140 watts.
4 When all fixtures are connected, apply power.
5 Use the control panel to access the internal menu and choose the
appropriate operation mode and related settings (see over).

Operation modes
The PixelLine 1044 provides a range of operation modes. These
are selected using the MODE section of the control menu:
DMX
Allows RGB control of all cells via DMX input. Using the
RES (resolution) option you can determine the number
of DMX channels required, from 54 channels down to
just 3 (the cell sizes are adjusted accordingly). Internal
chase effects are not available within this mode.
MAX1
Provides control of RGB mixing on all 18 cells and se-
lection of the dual internal chase effects via DMX input.
Requires 61 DMX channels.
MAX2
Provides control of RGB mixing (the whole fixture acts
as a single cell) and selection of the dual internal chase
effects via DMX input. Requires 10 DMX channels.
MANU
Provides RGB colour mixing independently of any exter-
nal control. Use the internal control menu (
MAN section)
to select the required colour values.
EF M
Allows the display of the dual internal chase effects,
independently of any external control. Use the internal
control menu (PROG section) to select the required
chase effects, speeds and cross fades.
EF D
Superseded by (and operates in a similar manner to)
MAX2. RGB mixing and chase effects cannot be used at
the same time. Requires 10 DMX channels.
EX61
Superseded by (and operates in a similar manner to)
MAX1. RGB mixing and chase effects cannot be used at
the same time. Requires 62 DMX channels.
