The Elation Fuze Wash 500 is a high-performance fixture suited for multiple applications. For
noise critical environments such as Theater, Opera, or Orchestral Halls, it offers various fan
operation modes which remove unwanted noise distractions for the audience and performers.
Fan Modes can be changed remotely via the DMX control channel, allowing the fixture to offer
high output or whisper-silent operation at a moment's notice. All Fan Modes smoothly transition
over a brief period, preventing unwanted attraction to the fixture.
Mode
Fan Control - Auto (Default)
Fan Control - High
Fan Control - Low
Low Noise – Studio
Low Noise – Mute
Auto – The default AUTO mode ensures optimal performance of the fixture. Fans only run at
the speeds needed to keep the LED engine within a safe temperature range. They will turn off
if possible, for example, when the fixture is dimmed to a low intensity. Fans sense the ambient
and fixture temperature, and will, always, try to keep noise levels at a minimum. The fixture
output will only reduce when the LED engine cannot be cooled down to its safe operating range
due to high ambient temperature. Note: Auto is the recommend mode for daily operation of
the Elation Wash 500.
High – This mode is only required in very high ambient temperatures when automatic fan speed
adjustments are not desired. High Fan Speed will cool the fixture most efficiently. This mode
will increase wear on the fans and should only be utilized in exceptional circumstances. Fans
will always run, even if the fixture is dimmed. Fixture output is kept at 100% unless the LED
engine temperature is too high, at which point the fixture will reduce power carefully to ensure
safe operation.
Low – In this mode the fixture reduces fan speeds throughout for a lower noise profile of the
fixture. This mode should be sufficient for most uses where lower noise is required. The fixture
output is reduced to about 80%.
Additional Low Noise Modes
For very critical situations, the Fuze Wash 500 offers two additional low noise modes for silent
operation. The fixture output will be reduced, but as the Fuze Wash 500 has such an extremely
high luminous flux, it still offers outstanding performance. In low noise modes, all parameters
of the Rembrandt operate quieter and with reduced speeds.
Studio – This mode reduces the fixture output to approximately 50%. Almost all fans inside the
Rembrandt are turned off, and only run when necessary to keep the fixture at 50% LED power.
Mute – Running the fixture in MUTE mode reduces the fixture to about 25% output, and all fans
are off. The fixture is totally silent.
