Introduction The ELP WW from Martin® is an ellipsoidal/profile lighting fixture with a 260 W warm white LED engine that produces a sharp gobo projection with a flat field. Four fixed beam angle lens tubes and two zoom lens tubes are available for the fixture. We recommend that you order the lens tube of your choice at the same time as ordering the fixture body.
Physical installation Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before installing the fixture. Warning! The safety and suitability of lifting equipment, installation location, anchoring method, mounting hardware and electrical installation are the responsibility of the installer. All local safety regulations and legal requirements must be observed when installing and connecting the fixture.
2. Block access under the work area. 3. Bolt a rigging clamp securely to the mounting yoke. The bolts used must be M12, grade 8.8 steel minimum, and fastened with a self-locking nut. 4. Working from a stable platform, mount the fixture on the truss and fasten the rigging clamp onto the truss.
Changing the lens tube Four different lens tubes with fixed beam angles of 19°, 26°, 36° or 50° are available for the fixture. Two zoom lens tubes with either 15°-30° or 25°-50° zoom ranges are also available. All lens tubes are available in black or white finish.
AC power Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before installing the fixture. Warning! The 18 AWG / 0.75 mm mains power input cable supplied with the fixture is rated 6 A and can supply only one fixture with mains power. Do not connect any device to the fixture’s MAINS OUT socket when using this input cable.
Control data A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control the fixture via DMX. The fixture has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. Up to 32 devices can be linked together on a single daisy chain. The total number of fixtures in one 512-channel DMX universe is limited by the number of DMX channels required by the fixtures.
Fixture setup This section explains the fixture characteristics you can set that determine how it can be controlled and will behave. You choose the settings using the menus available from the control panel, and they are retained even when the fixture is powered off. Options can also be set over the DMX link using RDM from a suitable controller, see “Setting options by RDM”...
For independent control, each fixture must be assigned its own control channels. Two fixtures of the same type may share the same address if identical behavior is desired. Address sharing can be useful for diagnostic purposes and symmetric control. To set the fixture’s DMX address: 1.

Setting options by RDM You can remotely configure the fixture over the DMX line using a suitable RDM-compatible controller that is connected to the installation via a DMX data link. A full list of the RDM functions that the ELP fixture supports is given at the end of this chapter. These functions are generally referred to using the more specific term ‘PIDs’...
Effects This section describes the effects provided by the ELP WW. See ‘DMX protocol’ on page 24 for a full list of the DMX channels and values required to control the different effects. Dimming Overall intensity can be precisely adjusted from 0 to 100% using 16-bit coarse and fine control. In 1Ch or 2Ch mode only 8-bit intensity control is available.
Use of gobos and irises The fixture will accept an A-size or B-size goboholder or an iris (items not included) in the gobo/accessory gate. There is a sliding cover over the gate to prevent light spill and retain the goboholder in the fixture. To install a goboholder or iris: 1.
Maintenance Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 4 before servicing the fixture. Refer any service operation not described in this user manual to a qualified service technician. Excessive dust, smoke fluid, and particle buildup degrades performance, causes overheating and will damage the fixture. Damage caused by inadequate cleaning or maintenance is not covered by the product warranty.
