  • Page 5: Introduction

    Introduction Warning! Before installing, operating or servicing the ERA 700 Performance IP lighting fixture, read the latest version of the fixture’s Safety and Installation Manual, paying particular attention to the Safety Precautions section. The Safety and Installation Manual is supplied with the fixture and included at the back of this user manual.

  • Page 6: Connecting To Data

    Connecting to data Warning! Before installing the ERA 700 Performance IP, read the latest version of the fixture’s Safety and Installation Manual that is attached to the User Manual, paying particular attention to the ‘Safety Precautions’ section. Besides important safety information, the Safety and Installation Manual contains instructions for connecting to AC mains power.

  • Page 7: Data Via Ethernet Cable

    3. Terminate the data link by connecting a 120 Ohm, 0.25 Watt resistor between the data 1 hot (+) and cold (-) conductors at the end of the link. If the link is divided into branches using a DMX splitter, terminate each branch of the link. Data via Ethernet cable The ERA 700 Performance IP has etherCON data sockets that support DMX and RDM over Art-Net and sACN.

  • Page 8: Effects

    Effects See the ‘DMX protocols’ section starting on page 36 for a full list of the DMX channels and values required to control the different effects. Shutter The electronic ‘shutter’ effect provides instant open and blackout, variable speed regular and random strobe.

  • Page 9: Rotating Gobos

    Rotating gobos The rotating gobo wheel in the ERA 700 Performance IP has seven (7) rotating gobos that can be selected, indexed (positioned at an angle), rotated continuously, and shaken (bounced). The entire rotating gobo wheel can also be scrolled continuously or shaken.

  • Page 10: Non-Rotating Gobos

    Non-rotating gobos The fixture’s static gobo wheel has eight (8) non-rotating gobos. The gobo wheel can be indexed in steps, which inserts full gobos only into the beam, it can be indexed continuously giving the possibility of split gobos, or it can be shaken with the shake centered on the gobo you select.

  • Page 11: Animation Wheel

    Animation wheel The ERA 700 Performance IP is supplied with the “Happy Daze” gobo animation wheel (P/N 5144517-00) installed. The wheel can be used to add animation effects to gobo projections. When using gobo animation, adjusting the fixture’s focus will help obtain the most realistic results.

  • Page 12: Pan And Tilt

    framing blade. You can insert one or more blades into the beam projection and also form the beam into any shape with three or four flat sides. Pan and Tilt The ERA 700 Performance IP ’s head can pan through a range of 540° and tilt through 270° with 16-bit control resolution in both Basic and Extended DMX Modes.

  • Page 13: Fixture Setup Using The Control Panel

    Fixture setup using the control panel This section explains how to adjust fixture settings using the menus available in the fixture’s control panel. You can find details of additional functions that are not available in the control panel in the chapters on the Control/Settings DMX channel and on setup via RDM later in this user manual.

  • Page 14: Display Sleep

    Shortcuts menu Pressing and holding the MENU button for two seconds opens a small Shortcuts menu with three items: • RESET ALL carries out a complete reset of the fixture with all its effects. • ROTATE DISPLAY rotates the control panel display through 180°. This function makes it easier to read the control panel menus when changing from standing to hanging installation.

  • Page 15: Network Settings

    Network settings The PERSONALITY → NET ADDRESS menu lets you manually set the fixture’s DMX universe, IP address and subnet mask. PERSONALITY → NET SWITCH lets you set the fixture to automatically detect and respond to any compatible data signal protocol (sACN or Art-Net) received at one of its Ethernet ports. This function is enabled by default.

  • Page 16: Dimming Speed And Smoothness

    Dimming speed and smoothness You can optimize dimming to give either the fastest or the smoothest changes in dimming levels. To optimize dimming: 1. Select DIMMING SPEED and press ENTER. 2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to select FAST (dimmer optimized for speed) or SLOW (dimmer optimized for smoothness).

  • Page 17: Focus Tracking

    At the FULL setting, the fans operate at constant full speed without temperature regulation. This setting maximizes cooling and gives priority to the highest possible light output intensity. FULL fan mode can also be used as a quick way of dislodging dirt from fans. The fixture reduces light output if full fan speed is not enough to keep the fixture within its operating temperature limits.

  • Page 18: Display Rotation

    Display rotation To set the orientation of the control panel display: 1. Select DISPLAY → DISPLAY ROTATION and press ENTER. 2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to select NORMAL (display in normal orientation) or ROTATE 180° (display inverted to make it easier to read if you install the fixture with the head hanging vertically downwards).

  • Page 19: Fixture Information

    2. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to scroll through all the fixture’s effects: CYAN, MAGENTA, YELLOW, CTO, COLOR (color wheel), GOBO1 (rotating gobos on gobo wheel 1), RGOBO1 (rotation of the rotating gobos on gobo wheel 1), GOBO2 (static gobos on gobo wheel 2), ANIMATION etc.
