Installation Clearances Cooling and Duty Cycle The D40/D60 XTI fixture is convection cooled and can operate all channels at full power continuously in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F). If ambient conditions exceed 40°C (104°F) or fail to allow sufficient airflow, over a long period of time, the fixture may shut down and remain off until they return to a safe operating temperature.
0.000 indicates that the color mix used was exactly on the black body line, with no green or magenta tint. Studio Daylight and Studio Tungsten fixtures use only white-type LEDs at a fixed color temperature in order to maximize output and efficacy. Desire D40/D60 XTI v1.8.0 User Manual...
Installation on a Pipe The D40/D60 XTI fixtures can be hung from a pipe using a C-clamp. The C-clamp attaches the fixture to the mounting pipe and allows you to adjust the position of the fixture once it is mounted.
WARNING: The safety cable (or other approved safety device) must be securely attached to the safety cable loop before loosening the clamp. Desire D40/D60 XTI v1.8.0 User Manual...
Installation on a Pole A Single fixture or Twin fixture pole mount is used to attach the D40/D60 XTI fixture to a pole. The Single fixture pole mount fits nominal 2-3/8 inch poles and the twin pole mount fits nominal 4 inch poles.
(not microphone cable) and should follow the standard pinout. The optional secondary data pair is not used by the D40/D60 XTI fixtures. The maximum DMX data run from any DMX source to the last fixture in a chain is 1000 feet (300m).
Termination board. Termination The Desire D40/D60 XTI Series requires that the last fixture on a DMX/RDM line be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor, which is accomplished with the S1 switch on the Termination board. Set the switch to the ON position to terminate the last fixture. All others on the DMX/RDM line must be set to OFF.

Plus 7 Plus 7 adds precision color-control channels to the HSI, HSIC, RGB, and Studio profiles. For example, HSI with Plus 7 enabled becomes a 14-channel profile. Placing channel 7 at a value over 51% activates the 14-channel profile within the fixture. The desired color and intensity is achieved by using the HSI or RGB channels as a starting point.

Gadget provides a connection from a PC to your lighting system’s DMX/RDM devices. Gadget provides DMX control level output, configuration, and monitoring for RDM devices including fixtures, dimmers, and more. You can also upgrade software for most DMX-based ETC products using UpdaterAtor or Net3 Concert software.
DMX/RDM Gateway A DMX/RDM gateway, such as an ETC Gateway, can be used to connect a PC to the DMX/RDM network so that you can configure the fixtures on the network. The Gateway can be connected directly to a PC with an Ethernet cable.
Configuration Use an RDM configuration tool to configure the Desire XTI Series fixtures. After you configure the fixtures and disconnect Gadget or a DMX/RDM gateway, you may control the fixtures with a DMX or RDM lighting control device. For detailed information about LED Config software, refer to the LED Configuration Software Programming Guide.
Protected provides the most consistent output possible with the greatest potential for reduced overall brightness. This is best for outdoor use, changing environmental temperatures, and applications with high requirements for consistency in extreme operating conditions. Desire D40/D60 XTI v1.8.0 User Manual...

Boost Boost provides the brightest possible output, with least guarantee of consistency. This is best for applications with low duty cycles, loose brightness requirements, or where ambient temperature is low. Note: In all Output settings, if the fixture gets too warm and internal components approach unsafe operating temperatures, the total power to the LED array is gradually reduced and proportionate brightness levels between the various colors of LEDs are maintained as much as possible in order to preserve the overall color mix;...

White Point controls the appearance (color temperature) of white-light output when saturation is at or near zero. This option is available when using the HSI and RGB profiles. The choices are 2950K, 3200K, 5600K, and 6500K. Desire D40/D60 XTI v1.8.0 User Manual...

Presets (Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice, and Studio HD) A Preset is a single, static look or color mix. The Desire Series fixtures come with 24 default configurations. Only one Preset can be active at a time. You can activate any of the Preset color mixes and customize each one through your RDM device.
Once the fixture completes the entire sequence, it reverses the order of the presets and steps backward through them until reaching the starting step, at which point it starts the Sequence over again, in the original order. Desire D40/D60 XTI v1.8.0 User Manual...
Step 3: Install a secondary lens, if needed, with the smooth side out. Step 4: Attach additional accessories (half shield, louver, etc.), if needed, onto the fixture. Focus Step 1: Using an RDM configuration tool or DMX/RDM control device, turn the fixture on to full intensity.
