The ChromaBank IP contains state of the art, high brightness, high
efficiency Red, Green and Blue LEDs. These three primary colours
can be mixed together to make an incredible palette of 16.7 million
colours.
They are IP65 rated fixtures and therefore suitable for outdoor or
indoor use. They are powered directly from 100-240 Volts AC and
have full remote DMX control of RGB levels or can function in Stand
Alone Mode. Numerous chases and sequences are built in, enabling
superb lighting effects without complicated programming.
These impressive fixtures are ideal for the architectural and
entertainment markets to give an unlimited colour palette that can
enhance building facades, water features and focal displays or to
providing stunning dynamic colour in shows, conferences, concerts
and themed environments.
Like the ChromaBank, the ChromaBank IP contains a PULSAR
ChromaZone controller and can therefore also operate in 3, 6, 9, 10,
36, 42 or 46 Channel Modes.
The ChromaBank IP 100 may be configured as Fixture 1 of 2 or
Fixture 2 of 2, displaying the LED segments 1-6 of 12 or 7-12 of 12.
So, two ChromaBank IP 100s may emulate a ChromaBank IP 200.
Please see the Channel Assignments Tables sheet for details of
the different modes.
The ChromaBank IP has numerous chases and effects built in,
making it possible to achieve fantastic effects without programming.
These internal effects can be selected via the User Interface
Module (UIM) on the rear of the units whilst in Stand Alone mode, or
from a controller using a digital PMX (Pulsar MultipleX) or DMX
(Digital MultipleX) signal.
Please see the Menu Selection Overview sheet for a pictorial
representation of the menu functions.
The ChromaBank IP has a stand and mounting brackets making it
ideal for floor, wall, ceiling or rig mounting.
The ChromaBank IP has a colour code letter. This signifies the
finished colour of the fixture e.g. B = Black, S = Silver.
The ChromaBank IP has a thermal management system. This
progressively reduces the power to the LEDs if the internal
temperature exceeds limits set by the software.
Excess temperature will occur if the units are exposed to high
ambient temperatures or inadvertently covered. It is therefore
important for maximum performance that they have good ventilation
on all sides.

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
For safety we recommend the use of a Residual Current Circuit
Breaker. An RCCB MUST be used when powering a
ChromaBank IP in wet environments.
PMX/DMX In/Thru 5 Pin XLR Connectors
Digital Control Signals: Two 5 pin XLR connectors on 5m cables
(in/thru) are provided. The pin connections of the sockets are:
PMX (RS232/423) SIGNAL
Pin 1 = Screen / Chassis Earth
Pin 2 = Signal
Pin 3 = Signal Earth
Pin 4 = no connection
Pin 5 = LVS (male only)
Wet / Damp Environment Use – these products are IP65
rated. However, the cable connections must also be
contained in a dry, low humidity, environment as water and
vapour will travel inside the cables from the connection joints into the
fixture. A waterproof connection box, or properly fitted IP68 rated
connectors, are essential
environments. Suitable connectors are available from Pulsar.
Failure to take these precautions invalidates the guarantee.
