Control is achieved using the industry standard DMX-512A format, with RDM for configuration. Each Linear One DMX Exterior fixture has a short in-line input cable and a panel mount output connector (power and control signals are combined via a proprietary IP67 rated socket).
INSTALLATION When installing each Linear One 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. Each Linear One fixture is fitted with two swivel mounting brackets, each of which have two slots measuring 0.26”...
USING AN OPTIONAL MOUNTING TRACK Mounting tracks are aluminum profiles that provide an additional way to secure Linear One fixtures to surfaces. Once attached to the surface, the mounting track allows the standard swivel mounting brackets to slide into and be fixed to the track. Note: The mounting tracks are not symmetrical, one lip is larger than the other in order to accommodate the shape of the swivel mounts.
USING OPTIONAL EXTENDER BARS A common fixing method is to use optional extender bars. These are available in 1’ , 2’ and 3’ (30, 60 and 91cm) standoff lengths. Each 1’ Linear One fixture requires a single extender bar, while 4’ fixtures require two. 1 0 m "...
REMOVING AND REFITTING THE END PANELS Several alterations to the Linear One fixture begin with the removal of the end panels. There are just four screws holding each end panel in place and these require a medium sized Pozi- Drive (Philips) screwdriver. Please note that removing the end panels in no way affects the integrity of the IP66 rating and there should be no fear of water infiltration in performing this task.
FITTING AN OPTIONAL GLARE SHIELD Optional glare shields are available which can be fitted on either side of the emitter housing to help conceal the emitters from side view. TO INSERT A GLARE SHIELD 1 Remove both of the end panels (see page 8). 2 Slide out the required shoulder strip.
FITTING AN OPTIONAL LOUVER Optional 1’ louvers are available, which can be fitted to eliminate side spill in all directions. For 4’ Linear One fixtures, use four louvers together. TO FIT A LOUVER 1 Remove both of the end panels (see page 8). 2 Slide out both shoulder strips.
Note: Do not exceed a total of 32 fixtures on a single line without signal boosting. An Acclaim Lighting RDS-6 RDM/DMX splitter or equal device can be used for this purpose. Ensure that the output connector of the final fixture has a terminator plug [Part #: LXTEC fitted to correctly terminate the DMX signal.
INTERCONNECTING Each Linear One DMX fixture has a short cabled control/power input connector at one end and an integral control/power output at the other. When fixtures are daisy-chained (end to end), the input plug of one fixture can connect directly to the output socket of the previous fixture.
Ensure that appropriate care is taken to protect the junction where the mains and control inputs are joined to the feed cable. An optional IP66-rated junction box is available from Acclaim Lighting [Part #: AJBOX1] which provides separated mains and control inputs for connection to the combined feed-in cable:...
• Do not exceed a total cable length of 3,900 ft (1200m) or a total of 32 fixtures on a single line without signal boosting. An Acclaim Lighting RDS-6 RDM splitter or equal device can be used for this purpose.

MAKING A TEMPORARY CONTROL LINK WITH THE XMT-350 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 Linear One feed-in cable. Use a 3-pin terminal block, wire nuts, conn blocks or Wago®...
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. 2 Power on the fixture(s) and the XMT-350.

After you have addressed each Linear One 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. •...
