• 180º diffused round, or • 120º diffused flat. Pixel Bar fixtures are controlled by DMX and are initially configured by RDM, using a tool such as the Acclaim Lighting XMT-350. The Pixel Bar models provide a choice of emitter grouping modes: 1’...
SUPPLIED ITEMS Pixel Bar 1’ or 4’ (FT (Flat) or RD (Round)) OPTIONAL EXTRAS Feed cables plus end cap (terminator) 10’ (3m) [PBAFC10] 50’ (15m) [PBAFC50] Link cables 1’ (30cm) [PBALC1] 5’ (1.5m) [PBALC5] 10’ (3m) [PBALC10] End cap (terminator)
INSTALLATION When installing each Pixel Bar fixture, ensure that the surface is level and that nothing is protruding to damage the mounting bracket(s). Suitable mounting surfaces include steel, aluminum, concrete or wood structures. 4’ models have eight mounting slots while 1’ models have four in total. Each slot measures 0.31”...
INTERCONNECTING Each Pixel Bar fixture has a short cabled power input plug at one end and an integral power/ signal output socket at the other. When fixtures are daisy chained (and are directly abutted), the input plug of one fixture can connect directly to the output socket of the previous fixture.
4’ SPECTRUM RGBW MODELS - DMX PERSONALITIES The 4’ Spectrum RGBW models can use their 16 emitter cells in a variety of personality configurations ranging from individual control of each emitter to combining them all as one group. Correspondingly, the number of DMX channels required for each personality range from 64 channels, down to just four.
4’ SPECTRUM RGBW MODELS - CHANNEL DESIGNATIONS The channel allocations below are shown beginning at DMX address 1. When you configure a fixture with an alternative DMX address, that value will become the first channel in the list shown below and the other channels will increment from there: 16 GROUP 8 GROUP 4 GROUP...
1’ SPECTRUM RGBW MODELS - DMX PERSONALITIES The 1’ Spectrum RGBW models can use their 8 emitter cells in a variety of personality configurations ranging from individual control of each emitter to combining them all as one group. Correspondingly, the number of DMX channels required for each personality range from 32 channels, down to just four.

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 Pixel Bar 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 14). 2 Power on the fixture(s) and the XMT-350.
DMX PERSONALITY MODE SELECTION Pixel Bar 1’ models have a choice of five personality modes, while 4’ models offer six personality modes. For a summary of how channels are allocated in all the model variants, see Channel designations, from page 7.
TESTING EMITTER OUTPUT After you have addressed each Pixel Bar 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.
• Check that power is correctly applied to the fixture and that there is no damage to the power input cord. • Use an RDM tool (such as the Acclaim Lighting XMT-350) to check the settings and internal temperature of the fixture.
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.
