  • Page 7: Installation

    INSTALLATION TILT ADJUSTMENT The Dyna Accent fixture uses two bolts to adjust and lock off its tilt angle. A 1/4” (6mm) Allen wrench (hex key) is used to adjust the tilt angle. Tilt adjustment bolt Tilt adjustment bolt 1/4”(6mm) Allen wrench (supplied) The tilt angle of the Dyna Accent head is adjustable through a range of nearly 180 degrees.

  • Page 8: Tilt Range

    TILT RANGE The head of the Dyna Accent can be rotated through almost 180 degrees, although the downward tilt limit is restricted slightly when used with either of the base plate options. www.acclaimlighting.com...

  • Page 9: Fitting A Base Plate

    FITTING A BASE PLATE Two types of base plate are available, both have an outside diameter of 4.45” (113mm); one is solid, for direct surface mounting, while the other is hollow for use on standard 4” round electrical outlet boxes. Both base plate types are attached to the Dyna Accent fixture in the same way.

  • Page 10: Pan Adjustment

    PAN ADJUSTMENT When the Dyna Accent fixture is used with one of the base plates, make pan adjustments by loosening the lock nut on the underside of the base plate (using a 1” (26mm) wrench). When the desired pan position is achieved, tighten the lock nut. Lock nut www.acclaimlighting.com...

  • Page 11: Fitting A Ground Spike

    FITTING A GROUND SPIKE The optional ground spike kit provides extra flexibility for landscape illumination projects. Note: This procedure can be carried out in any order, however, if you attach the fixture to the spike once it is in the ground, the actions of attachment could loosen the spike’ s grounding, particularly in soft soil.

  • Page 12: Fitting A Spread Lens

    FITTING A SPREAD LENS The standard beam angle is either 5 or 10 degrees, depending on model. These can be adjusted by inserting an appropriate spread lens into the inside of the front panel. TO FIT A SPREAD LENS Notes: This operation is best achieved with the Dyna Accent front face lying horizontally. Install spread lenses only in dry conditions to avoid any build up of condensation.

  • Page 13: Fitting A Snoot

    FITTING A SNOOT In installations where any light spill from the Dyna Accent must be eradicated from a nearby surface, the optional 4” snoot is recommended. Note: If required, a spread lens can be fitted together with the snoot, see page 10. TO FIT A SNOOT Note: This operation is best achieved with the Dyna Accent front face lying horizontal.

  • Page 14: Power And Control Wiring

    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 can be supplied either with bare tails or an Outdoor Linking System connector (see page 15). For models with bare tails, the power cord color designations are as follows: r t h [ E a...

  • Page 15: Input Wiring Protection

    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:...
  • Page 16 CONTROL When connecting multiple fixtures, without the Outdoor Linking System options, 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 –...

  • Page 17: Cabling With Ols

    CABLING WITH OLS OUTDOORLINK Dyna Accents can be specified with Outdoor Link System connectors pre-fitted instead of bare tails. OLS S Y S T E M greatly simplifies the task of distributing power and control to multiple fixtures. OLS is a collection of feed and link cables (of various lengths) plus a T-junction and a terminator, all utilizing IP67-rated connectors together with robust all-weather construction.
  • Page 18 TYPICAL OLS CONFIGURATION IMPORTANT: A terminator must be fitted to the final T-junction to simultaneously protect the live connections and correctly terminate the DMX control feed. If a link cable is used between any T-junction and a fixture input, the link cable must not exceed 10’...

  • Page 19: Wireless Control

    WIRELESS CONTROL The embedded Aria™ wireless system allows you to control any number of Dyna Accent fixtures that are within range of an Aria transmitter set to use the same wireless address: Notes: Optional Aria The wireless address is totally transmitter independent of the DMX address.

  • Page 20: Configuration

    CONFIGURATION The user display/control panel is located on the rear surface of the fixture and is concealed behind a removable panel. Use a 1/8th (3mm) Allen wrench (hex key) to remove the two bolts and the panel. Alternatively, remove one bolt and loosen the other to allow the panel to be swung out of the way.

  • Page 22 MAIN MENU ITEMS DMX Address Allows you to set the DMX start address for this fixture. Depending on the model, between one and five DMX addresses are required. See page 21. Factory Setting Clears all user settings and returns all options to their default states.

  • Page 23: Setting The Dmx Address

    SETTING THE DMX ADDRESS When external control (wired or wireless) is used, the DMX start address of the fixture needs to match the start address being used by the controlling device. Color fixtures use four DMX channels (for Red, Green, Blue and White), beginning with the one chosen here; white-only models require just one DMX channel.

  • Page 24: Adjusting The Gamma Setting

    ADJUSTING THE GAMMA SETTING Like most light sources, the manner in 100% which LED emitters operate means they Gamma = 2.8 Gamma = 2.4 exhibit a non-linear response. This means Gamma = 2.2 that to achieve changes in output levels Gamma = 2.0 which look proportional and correct to Gamma = No (default)

    CHANGING THE DISPLAY SETTINGS This option contains four settings related directly to the user display: • Display Invert - allows you to invert the text on the user display so that it reads correctly when the fixture is mounted upside-down. •...

  • Page 26: Running A System Test

    RUNNING A SYSTEM TEST This option assists in testing all of the emitters. When engaged, the emitters will flash on and off. Color models will cycle in turn through the various emitter colors. Note: You can also test the emitters remotely via RDM, see page 32. TO RUN A SYSTEM TEST 1 Enter the user menu (see page 19).

  • Page 27: Configuring Aria Wireless Dmx

    CONFIGURING ARIA WIRELESS DMX 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 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.

  • Page 28: Using The Automation Features (Photocell)

    USING THE AUTOMATION FEATURES (PHOTOCELL) The fixture includes two related features which allow you to automate standalone operation: • The in-built photocell can enable fixture output (at 100%) when the ambient light level falls below a pre-determined level. • The auto shutoff timer determines how long the fixture should remain outputting after it has been triggered by the photocell.

  • Page 29: Determining Solo Behavior

    DETERMINING SOLO BEHAVIOR You can choose how the fixture should behave when it is running solo, either because an external control input is not being used at all or because a connection has been temporarily lost. There are three solo behavior choices: •...

  • Page 36: Optimizing Signal Strength Via Channel Selection

    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.
