◼PREPARATION FOR USE

AC power connection

Luminaire must be powered with 100-240V and 50/60Hz. This fixture will automatically detect the

alternating current frequency. To turn on the fixture, simply plug in the powerCON TRUE1 and set the

power switch to “ON”. Use only high quality 3 x 2.5 mm2or larger mains power cords. Inspect all the power

feed cables for damages before use. Make sure to always connect the fixtures to a protected circuit with an

appropriate electrical ground. Never connect the fixture to a dimmer plug, even if it supplies proper current.

Only qualified electricians following all known electrical regulations can install the fixtures.

Luminaire comes with a power input cord terminated with powerCON TRUE1 on one end and tube

connectors on the other end. Follow the rules from the table below to assemble the power plug to the wire:

CAUTION! Always double-check the wire with a plug attached before use!

REMEMBER! Only a qualified person can change or install the plug!

Installation

Before mounting the fixture, read and follow all safety recommendations indicated in the Safety

Information.

EVO ELEMENT™may be hung using 2 brackets on the back of the fixture with rigging clamps or hung using

the hanging adapter (included). The fixture may be also installed on the the tripod or on a P2 EVO floor

base (sold separately). To install the fixture on a tripod use the hanging adapter. You can also use a hanging

adapter combined with the male-male connector, which makes it possible to put the fixture in the regular,

not upside-down orientation. The fixture is compatible with E-Conn, the structure building accessory.

Please refer to the E-CONN™user manual for more information. Please note that the PIXEL order and

MENU orientation can be changed in the menu to the upside down position.

To hang the fixture on a clamp under the truss you have to install the hanging adapter. Always double-

check if the hanging adapter is attached properly to the fixture and the spigot is locked tightly. The back

hanging brackets and the hanging adapter have 15 mm (0,59 in) holes for the spigot or rigging clamp.

Before rigging operations make sure, that the structure onto which you are mounting the fixtures can

withstand the weight of all of the fixtures. Check if there is enough room for ventilation, configuration and

maintenance in the location where you want to place the fixture. You must secure every hanged fixture with

the appropriate safety wire. Make sure there are no people under the work area when hanging fixtures. You

can aim the fixture to any position that you want except towards

the rigging structure. Remember not to let the power and DMX

wires touch the surface of the fixture. Always keep a safe

distance from the closest object.

The fixture may be installed also on optional accessories or

original accessories attached to P2 EVO™.

REMEMBER! Always secure the hung

fixture with safety wire!

USER MANUAL

PREPARATION FOR USE

9 / 20

CAUTION! Incorrect installation may result in the device falling and may

damage it or cause damage to other objects!

CAUTION! Always use only original spigots and cotters to install or hang the

fixture. Never use other brands’ spigots.

REMEMBER! Never use more than two units on base or on the hanging clamp

without additional safety support.

Operation modes

The luminaire can work in three operation modes: DMX, MASTER and SLAVE. DMX mode is designed to

work with DMX consoles. MASTER mode is designed to operate the fixture manually, without an external

controlling signal. In the MASTER mode, the fixture sends a controlling signal on the DMX output socket.

The signal can control other units in SLAVE mode. Please consider that unit in MASTER mode connected to

a regular DMX chain can corrupt DMX signal quality. The SLAVE mode allows you to control the fixture with

the control signal sent from a unit in MASTER mode. However, the DMX signal has got the highest priority

and the fixture always reacts to the connected DMX signal regardless of the operating mode.

There are three ways to operate the fixture in the DMX OPERATING MODE. You can use DMX input signal,

onboard manual control or WDMX input signal to control the fixture(if the WDMX card is installed). You can

link the fixture to a DMX controller using a 5 pin DMX wire, or Wireless Solution Sweden hardware (if the

WDMX card is installed). You can control each channel individually whether with a DMX controller or a

manual control build in the fixture. The fixture has 6 DMX personalities and it supports RDM. In DMX mode

fixture will not remember the manual settings after a reset is performed.

PREPARATION FOR USE

EVO ELEMENT™

10 / 20

To remember the manual settings you have to use MASTER mode. You can set any lighting scene using the

manual control section in the fixture’s menu or play build-in macros. The fixture always switches to DMX

when a DMX wire is connected. After disconnecting DMX in MASTER mode the fixture always goes back to

the last macro/manual setting. After a power reset the unit remembers the last manual/macro settings. If

you are going to control the fixture by onboard manual control it is recommended to use MASTER

OPERATING MODE.

RDM

RDM (Remote Device Management) is an enhancement of the DMX 512 protocol and allows bi-directional

communication between DMX consoles and fixtures. It works simultaneously with DMX 512 and on the

same lines and wires. RDM is not affecting non-RDM devices in a line however, non-RDM devices can

disrupt communication with the console. RDM allows you to change the fixture’s options (such as DMX

address) without even touching neither ladder or fixture’s buttons. The fixture fully supports the RDM

standards.

Manual operation

The fixture works in manual operation when it’s not receiving DMX signal whether wired or wireless. You

can adjust the brightness of all LED sources at once from the main screen, or you can control each source

individually from the “CONTROL ME MANUALLY” option in the menu (refer to the “Menu” chapter to learn

how to manually control channels). To enter the menu simply press “ENTER”.

DMX 512

The fixture automatically switches into DMX mode after receiving DMX data. To learn how to change the

DMX address or signal source (wired or wireless) refer to the “Menu” chapter. When the fixture works in

the wired DMX mode You can daisy chain fixtures using 5 pin DMX wires. When daisy-chaining remember,

that you can connect up to 32 devices per DMX 512 universe. Always terminate the DMX 512 line. Put the

120 Ωterminator into the last device’s DMX OUT XLR socket.
