INTRODUCTION WELCOME Welcome to the Dyna Accent range from Acclaim Lighting. These rugged LED-powered fixtures are designed to replace traditional external flood lights while using a fraction of the power. Featuring a die-cast aluminum body throughout with full IP66 environmental rating, these fixtures are built to last.
SUPPLIED ITEMS Dyna Accent With integral mounting stand and 6 foot (1.8m) power/control tails. Silicone gasket 5mm Allen wrench (hex key) OPTIONAL EXTRAS Spread lens , 40 , 60 and 10 x 60 available 4” (100mm) Snoot www.acclaimlighting.com...
INSTALLATION MOUNTING The base plate of the Dyna Accent can be directly mounted onto a standard 4” round electrical outlet box of sufficient strength for the weight of the fixture. The data and power cables are fed through two glands in the base plate so allowance should be made for passage of the cables if mounted on a flat surface.
2mm Allen wrench Tilt adjustment bolt (not supplied) 5mm Allen wrench (supplied) Recessed pan adjustment screw x2 The tilt angle of the Dyna Accent head is adjustable through a range of nearly 180 degrees. See next page . www.acclaimlighting.com...
TILT RANGE The head of the Dyna Accent can be rotated through almost 180 degrees (in 10 degree increments), although the extremes of the range are only possible when the base plate is mounted on the very edge of a surface. See the previous page for details about tilt (and pan) adjustment.
3 Ensure that the black rubber gasket is correctly in place around the circumference of the spread lens. Find the Locating tab on one side of the rubber gasket and ensure that this tab faces towards the front face of the Dyna Accent - and aligns with Locating notch in the front face.
2 Place the snoot over the Dyna Accent front face in replacement for the front hood. Note: There are drain holes located every 90 degrees around the snoot circumference, so it can be attached in any orientation.
POWER AND CONTROL WIRING The combined power and control cord (roughly six feet, 1.8m in length) enters the casing via a water-tight gland at the rear of the fixture. The cord is supplied with a bare tail. A cable gland is provided within the base plate to allow the cable to be fed into the mounting box, if necessary.

When connecting multiple fixtures, connect the DMX control input lines to the first fixture and feed the output of that fixture to the next. The final fixture in the line should have a 120Ω terminating resistor connected between the DMX + and DMX – lines: Dyna Accent Dyna Accent Dyna Accent DMX + DMX –...
USING A DYNA ACCENT AS A WIRELESS HUB When a Dyna Accent fixture receives a wireless input (and it has no wired DMX input), it will automatically output the full received DMX universe on its output wires. This means that you can wire through and control up to 32 non-Aria DMX fixtures (such as Dyna Flood DMX), or more, if an active repeater is used.
Each Acclaim lighting XMT-350 DMX/RDM tool is supplied with a 5-pin male XLR lead that can be used to make a temporary control input link with the Dyna Accent feed-in cable. Use a 3-pin terminal block, wire nuts, conn blocks or Wago® connectors to temporarily join the...
ADDRESSING FIXTURES TO ADDRESS FIXTURES USING THE ACCLAIM LIGHTING XMT-350 1 Connect the XMT-350 to the DMX input line of either a single fixture or multiple fixtures in a pre-arranged daisy chain configuration (see page 10). 2 Power on the fixture(s) and the XMT-350.
CONFIGURING THE ARIA WIRELESS DMX RECEIVER Each Dyna Accent fixture includes an internal Aria™ wireless DMX receiver unit to allow it to be remotely controlled by an Acclaim Lighting Aria transmitter. Fifteen radio addresses (channels) are available to choose from, allowing you to avoid potential interference sources, such as WiFi access points, and set up parallel wireless links between different sets of Aria units.
These automated features operate only in standalone mode, i.e. with no external DMX control input. TO SET THE AUTOMATION FEATURES USING THE ACCLAIM LIGHTING XMT-350 1 Connect the XMT-350 to the DMX input line to the single fixture. 2 Power on the fixture(s) and the XMT-350.
TESTING EMITTER OUTPUT After you have addressed each Dyna Accent fixture we recommend that you also test each one prior to installation. This can be achieved with your RDM (Remote Device Management) tool. Various third party DMX/RDM tools are available; we recommend the Acclaim Lighting XMT-350 for this task.
FURTHER INFORMATION TROUBLESHOOTING NO LIGHT OUTPUT IS VISIBLE WHEN EXPECTED. • Check that power is correctly applied to the fixture and that there is no damage to the power input cord. • Use an RDM tool to perform an emitter test. •...
OPTIMIZING SIGNAL STRENGTH VIA CHANNEL SELECTION Aria™ wireless transceivers use radio frequencies contained within the Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) band that runs between 2.4GHz and 2.5GHz. As one of the few license- free radio bands agreed upon in most countries, many other devices also use this band, most notably WiFi.
If the requested repairs or service (including parts replacement) are within the terms of this warranty, Acclaim Lighting will pay return shipping charges only to a designated point within the United States. If the entire instrument is sent, it must be shipped in its original package.
