Document Conventions Throughout this manual, the following are used to alert you to notes and safety notices. Note: Notes are helpful hints and information that is supplemental to the main text. CAUTION: A Caution statement indicates situations where there may be undefined or unwanted consequences of an action, potential for data loss or an equipment problem.
Safety The Desire series fixtures are intended for professional use only. Read entire User Manual before using equipment. WARNING: • Do not mount the fixture on or near a flammable surface. • In addition to primary suspension, attach a safety cable (or other approved safety device) to the fixture.
Help from ETC Technical Services If you are having difficulties and your problem is not addressed by this document, try the ETC support website at support.etcconnect.com or the main ETC website at etcconnect.com.

Installation Clearances Cooling and Duty Cycle The D40/D60 XTI fixture is convection cooled and can operate all channels at full power continuously in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F). If ambient conditions exceed 40°C (104°F) or fail to allow sufficient airflow, over a long period of time, the fixture may shut down and remain off until they return to a safe operating temperature.
Note About LED Fixtures All LED sources experience some lessening of light output and some color shift over time. Desire Series fixtures have complex thermal management systems to minimize these changes. With typical usage, a Desire fixture will still achieve at least 70% of its initial output after 50,000 hours of use (B50, L70). In individual situations, LEDs will be used for different durations and different levels.
Installation The D40/D60 XTI fixtures can be mounted four ways. • On a pipe with a C-clamp • On a permanent base • On a pole • On a wall Install on pipe or a suitable, rigid, permanent base with secured bolts. This can include poured concrete pads, factory-supplied pole-top and wall-mount brackets, and other attachments which meet the published weight and wind-load requirements for the fixture.

Safety Cable 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.
Accessory Installation Accessories, such as grid louvers, half shields, and lenses, are installed on the front of the fixture without compromising the integrity of the water-tight seal. Secondary lenses are secured with the trim ring and can be rotated while they are on the fixture, allowing you to focus the beam precisely. For detailed information, see the following accessory installation instructions that are packaged with the accessory.
To allow DMX to continue down the data run, replace the fixture with a Bypass Plug. To purchase a Bypass Plug, contact an ETC dealer and request part number 7410K4013. Or, for instructions on building your own Bypass Plug, visit etcconnect.com/DesireDMXBypass.
Indicator Lights The indicator lights on the back of D40/D60 XTI 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. Status Indicators page 33 For more information, see Figure-2.3 Indicator lights on the D40/D60 XTI fixture.
Chapter 3 DMX Profiles Desire Series fixtures occupy 1 to 14 DMX channels depending on the profile and which features are turned on. The tables below describe the order and function of each channel. Vivid, Lustr+, Fire, Ice, and Studio HD Profiles Direct Control Direct Control uses one DMX channel per individual color within the LED array for a total of seven color channels, arranged according to...
HSI (Hue Saturation Intensity) and HSIC (Hue, Saturation, Intensity, Color Temperature (White Point)) The HSI profile uses 4 channels of DMX input, corresponding to 16-bit hue (two channels: coarse and fine), saturation, and intensity. The HSI profile makes Desire fixtures compatible with conventional HSI console profiles while capitalizing on fixtures' expanded color capabilities.
Studio The fixture produces only white-type light, which is adjustable from 2700 K to 6500 K. The Studio profile uses 3 DMX channels to control Intensity, white point, and tint, (the green/magenta balance). When adjusting white point via DMX, the full gamut of 2725 K to 6450 K is available, but common settings of 3200 K and 5600 K are quickly accessible at the lowest and highest pairs of DMX values, respectively.
Plus 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.

Chapter 4 Operation Overview Up to 32 Desire XTI 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. You can use an RDM configuration tool or an RDM lighting control device to configure the fixtures.
Gadget II provides a connection from a PC to your lighting system’s DMX/RDM devices. Gadget II 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 ™...
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.
Configuration Use an RDM configuration tool such as Net3 Concert to configure the Desire XTI Series fixtures. After you configure the fixtures and disconnect Gadget II or a DMX/RDM gateway, you may control the fixtures with a DMX or RDM lighting control device.
3. Refine the fixture output by altering one or more of the 7 individual color channels. • The starting point for each color is defined by the original color selection in step 1. • The brightness of each color can be increased or decreased from the starting point to any value between zero and full output.

Curve Curve is the correlation between the change in the value of the dimming control signal and the actual change in the fixture's brightness. Curve is also the extent to which the fixture lags in its response time to the control signal in order to facilitate smoothness in dimming. Option Description Curve...
Red Shift Red shift allows the fixture to match its dimming performance to that of a conventional tungsten lamp as it dims. The fixture automatically changes its apparent White Point, or color temperature, as a function of overall intensity. Red shift works with both white-light and colored-light output settings. It is also known as amber drift and tungsten shift.
Over Temp You can change how an over-temperature situation is indicated in order to control stray light. Option Description Visible (Vivid, The fixture produces a low-level, red light from the LED array and turns on the Lustr+, Fire, Ice, error indicator light. and Studio HD) Visible (Studio The fixture produces a low-level light from only some of the LEDs in the LED...
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.
Sequences A Sequence is a timed series of Presets. Up to 12 different Sequences may be altered for Preset selections, cross fade rate, and link time. Only one Preset within a sequence can be active at a time. You can create your own custom sequence that includes two or more Presets. For example, you may want to sequence through Presets 2, 4, 23, and 1, in that order.
