Using the yoke

The PixelLine yoke has an adjustable foot at each end to 

allow it to function as an effective floor stand or be folded 

away to allow multiple units to be closely stacked.

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 two independent fixing 

points. Also always use two safety wires rated to a minimum of 

40kg (88lbs) 

SL6

  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. 

3

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

Operation modes

The PixelLine provides a range of operation modes. 

These are selected using the 

MODE

 section of the control 

menu: 

DMX

 

Allows RGBW control via DMX input. Internal 

chase effects are not available within this 

mode.

MANU

  Provides RGBW colour mixing independently 

of any external 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.

24+E

  Provides control of individual emitter RGBW 

mixing and selection of the dual internal chase 

effects via DMX input. Requires 32 (PL6), 24 

(PL4) or 12 (PL2) DMX channels. 

 4+E

  Provides control of RGBW mixing and selec-

tion of the dual internal chase effects via DMX 

input. Requires 11 DMX channels.

16bt

  Allows RGBW control via DMX input, using 

two 8bit channels per colour. Internal chase 

effects are not available within this mode.

PixelLine personalities are available for a variety of

middle two buttons (   and   ) for two seconds while 

the current address and mode are being displayed. The 

four digit display will show 

FACT

 then 

SET

 to indicate that 

the fixture has been returned to its default condition. This is 

useful to remove any settings that might cause confusion in 

a new configuration (e.g. master intensity settings).

Connect power to the fixture using a Neutrik

®

 PowerCon

®

  

connector. Insert the connector and twist it clockwise until  

it clicks into place.

 

Important

•   If power daisy-chaining fixtures, do not exceed a total load of 

3kW in a single daisy chain (subject to supply and cabling 

restrictions). Please see page 7 for maximum power requirements 

per fixture and also ‘Start up (peak)’ details.

  Use the control panel to access the internal menu and choose the 

appropriate operation mode and related settings (see over).
