Getting It Out Of the Box
Congratulations on purchasing the Motif™ Risplendi 150. Now that you've got your fixture, you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the packing material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing materials. If a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Powering Up!
All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.
Warning! All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).

Yellow triangular warning sign with black exclamation mark symbolBefore replacing the fuse, disconnect the power cord. ALWAYS replace it with the same type and rating.
Fuse Replacement
Remove the fuse holder from of its housing. Take out the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type of fuse.
Power Inputs
This fixture comes with a powerCON® TRUE1™ compatible power input and a 3-wire power terminal block connector located under the "Int. Power In" cover plate on the rear of the fixture that can be used for hardwiring power.
Depending on which method you use, adjust the external/internal power switch on the back of the unit to select the proper input source.
Use the table below for reference when using the bare wire:
| Connection Wire (U.S.) | Wire (Europe) Screw Color | |
| AC Live Black Brown Yellow | or Brass | |
| AC Neutral White Blue Silver | ||
| AC Ground Green/Yellow | Green/Yellow | Green |
Connecting the Fixtures
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. Also, connecting more than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the signal.
Data/DMX Cabling
To link fixtures together you'll need data cables. You should use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal.
The data cable should have the following characteristics:
• 2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
• Maximum capacitance between conductors - 30 pF/ft.
• Maximum capacitance between conductor & shield - 55 pF/ft.
• Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.
• Nominal impedance 100 - 140 ohms
Cable Connectors
Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end. (Duh!)

text_image
INPUT Common DMX - DMX + OUTPUTA Word on Termination:
DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and therefore best practices include use of a terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems with erratic fixture behavior, especially over long signal cable runs, a terminator may help improve performance.
To build your own DMX Terminator:
Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor, and wire it between pins 2 & 3 of the last fixture. They are also readily available from specialty retailers.
CAUTION: Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture's chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
3-Pin??? 5-Pin??? Huh?!?
If you use a controller with a 3-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 3-pin to 5-pin adapter. If you'd like to build your own, the chart below details a proper cable conversion:
| Conductor 3-Pin Female (Output) 5-Pin Male (Input) | |
| Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1 | |
| Data 1- (Primary Data) Pin 2 Pin 2 | |
| Data 1+ (Primary Data) Pin 3 Pin 3 | |
| Data 2- (Optional) -- Pin 4 - Do Not Use | |
| Data 2+ (Optional) -- Pin 5 - Do Not Use |
Take It To The Next Level: Setting Up DMX Control
Step 1: Connect the male connector of the DMX cable to the female connector (output) on the controller.
Step 2: Connect the female connector of the DMX cable to the first fixture's male connector (input).
Note: It doesn't matter which fixture address is the first one connected. We recommend connecting the fixtures in terms of their proximity to the controller, rather than connecting the lowest fixture number first, and so on.
Step 3: Connect other fixtures in the chain from output to input as above. Place a DMX terminator on the output of the final fixture to ensure best communication.

First Fixture in Chain DMX IN DMX OUT Next Fixture in Chain DMX IN DMX OUTChanging the Lenses
This fixture comes with a pre-installed 80° diffuser lens plus 3x replaceable Fresnel lenses (30°, 45°, and 60°) for a variety of beam angles.
To change the lens, remove the thumbscrew from the lens holder and swivel the holder outwards. Replace the existing lens with the lens of your choice.
Note: The replaceable lenses need to be installed with the circular pattern side of the lens facing outwards.
*When using lenses with narrower beam angles, some chromatic aberration (color separation) may occur. We recommend using the snoot accessory (sold separately) to cut off the beam edge. This may help in certain circumstances.

Thumbscrew Lens Holder Brackets Snoot (sold separately)Installing or Removing Brackets
1.) Install or remove the brackets as shown above using the included bolts, washers, and knobs.
2.) Use the small bracket for vertically mounted fixed installations. You can remove the large bracket in these types of applications, and use the included plastic plugs to cover the bracket screw holes.
Mounting & Rigging
This fixture may be mounted in any SAFE position provided there is enough room for ventilation.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with a suspended hook and vertical supports (no text or symbols)Mount the fixture using a suitable "C" or "O" type clamp. The clamp should be rated to hold at least 10x the fixture's weight to ensure structural stability. Do not mount to surfaces of unknown strength, ensure properly rated rigging is used, and always secure your fixtures with a safety cable.
