C o l o r R e n d e r i n g I n d e x a n d C o l o r Q u a l i t y S c a l e R a t i n g s Desire fixtures are evaluated for Color Rendering Index (CRI) and Color Quality Scale (CQS) performance using measured output spectrum and optimized mix solutions for a best spectral match to black body sources at 3200K and 5600K.
I n s t a l l a t i o n o n a P i p e The Desire D40XTI Series fixtures can be hung from a pipe using a C-clamp. The C-clamp attaches the fixture to the mounting pipe and allows you to adjust the position of the fixture once it is mounted.
Page 20
S a f e t y C a b l e The safety cable (or other approved safety device) should be attached to the fixture housing and wrapped around the hanging structure (pipe). An appropriate attachment loop is provided on the protruding tab of the fixture housing. Take care to leave as little slack as possible in the safety cable to avoid the cable catching the yoke of the fixture.
I n s t a l l a t i o n o n a P o l e A Single fixture or Twin fixture pole mount is used to attach the Desire D40XTI Series fixture to a pole. The Single fixture pole mount fits nominal 2-3/8 inch poles and the twin pole mount fits nominal 4 inch poles.
Refer to D40XTI Installation Instructions for detailed information about installation. Data The Desire D40XTI Series fixture operates on a DMX control signal or as a standalone fixture. The fixture is supplied with cable that includes DMX input and thru. DMX cables should be acceptable for DMX data transmission (not microphone cable) and should follow the standard pinout.
DMX/RDM line must be set to OFF. Indi cator Lights The indicator lights on the back of Desire D40XTI Series fixture show the status of power input (blue), DMX input (green) and fixture errors (red). When the DMX/RDM signal is lost, the green indicator flashes.
DMX Profile A d d r e s s i n g Addresses must be set between 1 and 510. Each Desire fixture must be considered a separate DMX device for the purpose of DMX line-loading calculations. DMX line-loading practice dictates that no more than 32 devices can be daisy-chained together.

N O T E : The RGB profile is optimized for maximum brightness at all settings. Sometimes small changes in RGB values may produce unexpected jumps in brightness. Shifts in brightness may be perceived during color cross fades in cues and presets. Studio The fixture produces only white-type light, which is adjustable from 2700 to 6500K.

P l u s 7 Plus 7 adds precision color-control channels to the HSI, HSIC, RGB, and Studio profiles. For example, HSI with Plus 7 enabled becomes a 14-channel profile. Placing channel 7 at a value over 51% activates the 14-channel profile within the fixture. The desired color and intensity is achieved by using the HSI or RGB channels as a starting point.

Overview Up to 32 D40XTI Series fixtures can be daisy-chained on a DMX/RDM network. Each fixture can have an unique DMX address and each address can be configured separately. Also, more that one fixture can have the same address, allowing you to configure them identically.
Gadget provides DMX control level output, configuration, and monitoring for RDM devices including fixtures, dimmers, and more. You can also upgrade software for most DMX-based ETC products using UpdaterAtor or Net3 Concert software. Prior to connecting Gadget, start the RDM configuration tool and apply power to the fixtures.
DMX/RDM Gateway A DMX/RDM gateway, such as an ETC Gateway, can be used to connect a PC to the DMX/RDM network so that you can configure the fixtures on the network. The Gateway can be connected directly to a PC with an Ethernet cable. For information about the Gateway, refer to the appropriate documentation.
Configuration Use an RDM configuration tool to configure the Desire D40XTI Series fixtures. After you configure the fixtures and disconnect Gadget or a DMX/RDM gateway, you may control the fixtures with a RDM lighting control device. For detailed information about LED Config software, refer to the LED Configuration Software Programming Guide.
The following procedure is performed on your RDM lighting control device. Step 1: Select a starting color point for the fixture output using the standard control channels for RGB, HSI, etc. Step 2: Set the first additional channel to a value between 51 and 100% to activate Plus Seven.

Boost Boost provides the brightest possible output, with least guarantee of consistency. This is best for applications with low duty cycles, loose brightness requirements, or where ambient temperature is low. N O T E : In all Output settings, if the fixture gets too warm and internal components approach unsafe operating temperatures, the total power to the LED array is gradually reduced and proportionate brightness levels between the various colors of LEDs are maintained as much as possible in order to preserve the overall color mix;...

Linear Linear has no curve. Brightness levels correlate exactly with the value of the dimming control signal. Moderate lag in response for good dimming smoothness. Linear allows quick jumps in brightness. It is best for studio lighting and applications with static scenes or looks. Quick Quick uses the standard dimming curve but with no lag or smoothing.
S t a t u s I n d i c a t o r s Status Indicators, which are on the back of the fixture, are on by default. Select Off to turn the Status Indicators off. Figure-2.4 Status Indicators on the back of the fixture. The status indicators are three, small, colored LEDs on the back of the fixture that indicate the status of: •...
Presets and Sequences Use Presets and Sequences to run a preset color mix or a sequence of presets in a stand-alone operation. when no external control signal is connected to the fixture. Presets and sequences override Quick Setups and the Send DMX configuration. When a Preset or Sequence is stopped, the fixture or fixtures return to the previous configuration.
