Installation and Set Up

INSTALLATION AND SET UP

1. Power Requirements

WARNING! SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaires do not contain an ON/OFF switch. Always disconnect power

input cable to completely remove power from the luminaire when not in use.

AC Power Operation

When connected to an AC source, the luminaire operates on 100 to 240 volts AC (+/- 10%, auto-ranging). The luminaire

contains an auto-ranging power supply. Each luminaire can draw up to 1000 Watts.

Note: For wiring of AC input connector, refer to "Connecting SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaires to AC

Power" on page 7.

The SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaries operate on AC input voltages from 100 to 240 VAC.

Table 1: SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire Voltage (VAC) vs. Current*

WARNING! *These figures are based on the Maximum Allowable Input Current of 15 Amps (and the maximumpower supply limit of 1000 Watts for each connected unit). Do not overload circuits!

IMPORTANT AC POWER CONNECTION NOTE:

a. When using the daisy-chain connection method, ONLY connect SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminairesto AC Output Connection of SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaires. DO NOT CONNECT OTHERTYPES OF LUMINAIRES OR DEVICES!

b. Use only use approved cable types.c. Do not overload circuits!d. Do not connect SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaires to dimmed circuits.e. The MAXIMUM allowable number of SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaires which can be “daisy-chained”

on one power feed are listed in Table 1, above. DO NOT EXCEED!

Connecting SL BEAM 500 FX to AC Power

Connecting SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaires to AC Power

If the luminaire is supplied with an AC input cable but you did not order an AC input connector, Table 2 describes how to

connect power to your SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire. Field wiring of the SL BEAM 500 FX LED

Luminaire is straightforward. A total of 3 wires/conductors need to be brought to the luminaire. The following wiring

scheme is required:

Figure 3: SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire AC Input & Output Connections

CAUTION: In the event the AC input cable of this luminaire is damaged, it must be replaced, with an approved cable

through an Authorized Showline Dealer or Service Center.

Connecting to the DMX512 Network

3. Connecting to the DMX512 Network

Basic DMX512 installation consists of connecting multiple SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaires together (up to

32 luminaires) in "daisy-chain" fashion. A cable runs from the control console (or DMX512 control source) to the

DMX connector on the first SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire. Another cable runs from the other DMX

connector on the first unit to a DMX connector on the next SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire (or DMX512

device to be controlled).

Figure 4: SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire DMX512 Input / Output Connections

Note: For more information on DMX512 networking and systems, refer to "Additional Resources for DMX512" on

page 1 "DMX CONTROL" on page 20. For SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire DMX Mapping, refer to .

4. Harmonize Color Calibration

Harmonize is a proprietary, advanced LED color matching system,

consisting of 3 correction modules: RGB, RGBW and Cool White/Warm

White. Every Showline fixture undergoes rigorous testing to provide you

with consistent control of color and intensity as well as output of the highest

quality.

When enabled either via DMX or the fixture’s menu, the Harmonize technoloy

will ensure that colors match from fixture-to-fixture and pixel-to- pixel.

As the Harmonize system matches Showline products, they will all operate

in the same color space. Use the Harmonize system when perfect color matching

is an essential requirement.

DMX Timing Channel Detail

2. DMX Timing Channel DetailTiming channel control improves the timed moves of certain groups of parameters The SL BEAM 500 FX LED.Luminaire provides timing channels in 16 bit mode one for intensity time and one for color time and one timing- ( )channel in 8 bit color and intensity timing combined The luminaire uses its timing channel value to calculate a- ( ).smooth continuous operation for a given time and transition.

Guidelines:

Timing channels support time values from zero to 60 minutes.

To use a timing channel instead of console timing it is recommended to set the timing channel to the desired value,and set cue and or console cue fade time to zero A combination of time controls can produce unexpected results/ . .

The default value setting in the profile should be 255 proportional control to allow smooth operation when using( )console timing.

The timing channel data should change as a snap A zero value will give the fastest operation however without. , ,any smoothing this can appear steppy in console timed moves" " .

CLEANING AND CARE

Being a solid-state fixture, and unlike most fixtures, the SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire requires very little

routine maintenance by the user. This section covers portions of the luminaire that can be removed for cleaning.

The SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaries requires special care when it comes to cleaning front lens assembly.

Additional care needs to be taken with the plastic components because they are much easier to scratch or damage

than glass. The following is a list of cleaning materials required to care for your SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire:

Note: *Reagent grade isopropyl alcohol is good to use on the SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire plastic optics

with anti-reflection coatings.

WARNING! Under no circumstances should ammonia-based cleaners, acetone, or other harsh solvents be used on or

near the SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire. These types of cleaners or solvents can permanently damage the

optics or housings of the fixture.

If you have any questions regarding the use or care of your SL BEAM 500 FX LED Luminaire, please contact

Showline technical support or your local Authorized Dealer.

WARNING! All cleaning should be performed with power completely removed from the luminaire. Never removeprotective covers when luminaire is powered. Wear appropriate protective eye wear and gloves when cleaning thefixture. All service and maintenance, other than described herein, should be performed by a qualified technician orAuthorized Service Center.

Lint free lens tissue

Lint or powder free gloves

Reagent grade isopropyl alcohol*

A mild soap solution

If the lens is still dirty after using isopropyl alcohol, for instance if fingerprints or oil is just redistributed and notcleaned off the optic, then a mild soap and water solution can be used to gently wash the lens. Repeat the cleaningwith isopropyl alcohol to eliminate streaks and soap residue.

Step 1. Turn off luminaire and allow to cool completely.

Step 2. Apply a small amount of reagent grade isopropyl alcohol to lint-free lens tissue.

Step 3. Wipe all debris, dirt, fingerprints, etc. from lens.

Step 4. Using a second lint-free lens tissue, wipe off any alcohol residue.

For all other service and maintenance issues, please contact your local Showline office or an Authorized ServiceCenter.
