N o t e A b o u t L E D F i x t u r e s 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.
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.

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.
A c c e s s o r y I n s t a l l a t i o n Accessories, such as grid louver, half shield, 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.
I n s t a l l a t i o n o n a W a l l The Wall Mount Bracket accessory for the D40/D60 XTI fixture provides a stable mounting position for the fixture, while providing a wire way for a clean and functional installation to walls and other vertical surfaces.

T e r m i n a ti o n The Desire D40/D60 XTI Series requires that the last fixture on a DMX/RDM line be terminated with a 120 ohm resistor, which is accomplished with the S1 switch on the Termination board.
To allow DMX to continue down the fixture line you will need to replace this fixture with a Pass Thru Plug. To purchase this Pass Thru Plug, contact an ETC dealer and request part number 7410K4006. For instructions on building your own Pass Thru Plug, go to www.etcconnect.com...
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.

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 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.
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.
Configuration Use an RDM configuration tool to configure the Desire XTI Series fixtures. After you configure the fixtures and disconnect Gadget or a DMX/RDM gateway, you may control the fixtures with a DMX or 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...

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.

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.

P r e s e t s ( V i v i d , L u s t r + , F i r e , I c e , a n d S t u d i o H D ) A Preset is a single, static look or color mix.
S e q u e n c e s 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.
Attach an approved safety cable. Step 3: Install a secondary lens, if needed, with the smooth side out. Step 4: Attach additional accessories (half shield, louver, etc.), if needed, onto the fixture. F o c u s Step 1: Using an RDM configuration tool or DMX/RDM control device, turn the fixture on to full intensity.
