User Manual for Elation Professional KL Fresnel 6 CW PO

Quick guide from the manual

The Elation Professional KL Fresnel 6 CW PO is a high-performance lighting fixture intended for use by trained personnel only. It is not suitable for private use. Before operating, ensure the fixture is properly grounded and kept away from flammable materials. The unit is designed for dry, indoor environments only. Always allow the fixture to cool for approximately 15 minutes before servicing.

Installation and Rigging

Before rigging, consult a professional installer to ensure the mounting surface can support the combined weight of the fixture and accessories. The fixture can be installed hanging from a horizontal truss, suspended sideways from a vertical truss, or standing upright on a flat surface.

• Clamp Installation: Secure an appropriately rated clamp to the mounting yoke.
• Safety Cable: Always attach a safety cable to the designated rigging point on the fixture body when installing in a suspended environment.
• Clearance: Maintain at least 6 inches (15cm) of space between the fixture and other devices or walls for proper cooling.

Accessory Installation

The fixture includes a removable gel frame and barndoors.

• Gel Frame: Release the lens frame latch, flip it upward, slide the gel frame into the slot, and secure the latch back down until it clicks.
• Barndoors: Follow the same latch procedure to install the barndoors in the slot in front of the lens and gel frame. Unfold the panels carefully.

Control Panel and System Menu

The control panel on the side of the fixture allows for system adjustments. Press the MODE button to access the main menu, use UP/DOWN to navigate, and ENTER to select and confirm settings. The display turns off after 30 seconds of inactivity.

• Manual Dimming: Press the encoder knob to enter Manual Dimmer Mode. Turn the knob to adjust intensity.
• Fan Control: Modes include Auto (default), High (for efficient cooling), and Low (for noise-critical environments).
• System Reset: Use the DFSE option in the Function menu to reset to default settings.

DMX and RDM

The fixture supports RDM (Remote Device Management) for bi-directional communication. It offers five DMX channel modes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Refer to the DMX Traits section in the manual for detailed channel values regarding dimmer intensity, strobe effects, and dimmer curves.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Disconnect power before performing any maintenance. Clean the external lens surface periodically with a soft cloth to prevent dirt accumulation. Never use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners. Perform a detailed electrical check every three months to ensure circuit contacts are in good condition.
