INTRODUCTION WELCOME Welcome to the Linear XTR range from Acclaim Lighting. These aluminum bodied, IP66- rated fixtures are available in 1’ and 4’ lengths and are easily interconnected in series to greatly simplify installation. Linear XTR fixtures belong to the Acclaim Lighting XTR Link™ family, which provide additional flexibility by automatically supporting different power configurations.

INSTALLATION When installing each Linear XTR fixture, ensure that the surface is level. Suitable mounting surfaces include steel, aluminum, concrete or wood structures. MOUNTING Each Linear XTR is supplied with two in-built swivel mounts which allow you to attach the fixture to suitable surfaces.
USING OPTIONAL EXTENDER BARS Optional extender bars are available to allow each Linear XTR fixture to be held a certain distance from a vertical mounting surface. Three extender bar lengths are available (see page 3 for part numbers and page 24 for dimensions). Each extender bar is manufactured entirely from aluminum to minimize weight and each Linear XTR fixture requires two extender bars of equal length.
FITTING AN OPTIONAL LOUVER Optional louvers are available, which can be fitted to eliminate side spill in all directions. Note: The option for 4’ Linear XTR fixtures consists of four 1’ louvers, which are used together. TO FIT A LOUVER 1 Align the louver with the fixture and slide it over the emitter housing until it is fully inserted along the fixture.
POWER Power and control are combined within the IP66-rated feed and link cables using a proprietary design. Connector placements are such that abutted units can be directly connected without need for extra cables. The color designations for the optional feed cable (and also XTR Driver output tails) are as follows: IMPORTANT: Ensure that power earth and Control cores: 24 AWG / 0.25mm...

RUN LENGTHS - OVERALL MAXIMUM In addition to remaining within the maximum permitted length of fixtures in a single run (as discussed on page 9), you also need to adhere to the working limits for the overall length of the whole installation, ie the total length fixtures in the run plus all their additional feed and link cabling, as listed below.
For further details, please see: • Page 8 for wire colors. • Acclaim Lighting AJBOX1 user guide. • Acclaim Lighting XTR Driver user guide. WARNING - HIGH VOLTAGE This device can use high voltages (up to 400VDC) which could cause severe personal injury or death if misused: •...
INTERCONNECTING Each Linear XTR fixture has a short cabled input connector at one end and Cover cap an integral output socket 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.
CONNECTING UNITS AT ANGLES UP TO 60º It is possible to connect neighboring fixtures at angles up to 60º without the use of separate link cables. IMPORTANT: Do not exceed angles of 60º between fixtures to avoid placing stress on each interconnect cable. 60°...
CONTROL INPUTS VIA CONVERTERS • DMX - connect a DMX input directly into the feed cable. • 0-10V - use an Acclaim Lighting ZDM 6 (or similar) to convert one or more analog control feeds into a combined DMX feed¹.
Additionally, any number of fixtures can be configured to use duplicate control addresses, as required. 1’ (305mm) LINEAR XTR 4’ (1220mm) LINEAR XTR (OPERATING IN ‘1 GROUP’ MODE) 4’ (1220mm) LINEAR XTR (OPERATING IN ‘4 GROUP’ MODE) TIPS FOR ACHIEVING SUCCESSFUL DMX CONTROL •...
DMX; usually a maximum of 32 fixtures is possible before the signal-to-noise ratio threatens to affect operation. That is why every fixture in the Acclaim Lighting XTR range acts as its own signal isolator and conditioner before passing the control feed down the line.
OPERATION Linear XTR fixtures have no external controls and instead rely on RDM (Remote Device Management) for all configuration via the DMX interface. This allows multiple devices to be configured either before or after installation. 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.
DMX CELL ADDRESSING The actual alignment of Linear XTR fixture cells to DMX addressing is determined by the base address (see page 17) and, for 4’ models, also the chosen cell mode (personality). For a fixture assigned with a start address of 1, the DMX addresses for each color of each cell are listed below.
4’ cell or as four separate 1’ cells, each with their own set of DMX addresses - see page 18. TO SET THE CELL MODE USING THE XMT-350 1 Connect the XMT-350 to the DMX input line of the Linear XTR installation. 2 On the XMT-350, press the MODE...
TESTING EMITTER OUTPUT After you have addressed each Linear XTR 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. •...
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.
