General set up

1

  Mount the fixture in the required position. The integral yoke can 

act as a floor stand or hanger.

 Important

•  When suspended off ground, always use a safety wire rated 

to a minimum of 38kg (84lbs) around the yoke.

2

  Where external control is to be used, connect a DMX lead (XLR 

5-pin female) to the input socket at the rear of the fixture. 

When suspended 

off ground, always 

use a safety wire 

rated to a minimum 

of 38kg (84lbs) 

around the yoke.

3

  Where other fixtures are to be used in a control daisy-chain, con-

nect a DMX lead (XLR 5-pin male) to the output socket at the rear 

of the fixture. 

Connect power to the fixture.

Operation modes

The PixelPar provides a range of operation modes. These are 

selected using the 

MODE

 section of the control menu: 

DMX

 

Allows RGBA (or RGBW) control via DMX input. Inter-

nal chase effects are not available within this mode.

MANU

  Provides RGBA (or RGBW) colour mixing independent-

ly of any external control. Use the internal control menu  

(

MAN

 section) to select the required colour values.  

EF D

  Allow you to select chase effects via DMX input (no 

RGBA or RGBW mixing). Requires 7 DMX channels.

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. 

4+E

 

Provides control of RGBA (or RGBW) mixing and selec-

tion of the dual internal chase effects via DMX input. 

Requires 11 DMX channels.

16bt

  Allows RGBA (or RGBW) control via DMX input, using 

two 8bit channels per colour. Internal chase effects are 

not available within this mode.

PixelPar personalities are available for a variety of controllers. 

Please see
