IMPORTANT NOTICE!

THERE ARE NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE THIS UNIT.

DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY REPAIRS YOURSELF; DOING SO WILL Void YOUR MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY. DAMAGES RESULTING FROM MODIFICATIONS TO THIS FIXTURE AND/OR THE DISREGARD OF SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES IN THIS MANUAL Void THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY AND ARE NOT SUBJECT TO WARRANTY CLAIMS AND/OR REPAIRS.

IP65 RATED

The International Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as "IP" (Ingress Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65), where the numbers define the degree of protection. The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the fixture, and the second digit (Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the fixture. An IP65 rated lighting fixture is designed and tested to protect against the ingress of dust (6), and low-pressure water jets from any direction (5).

NOTE: THIS FIXTURE IS INTENDED FOR TEMPORARY OUTDOOR USE ONLY!

Maritime/Coastal Environment Installations: A coastal environment is seaside adjacent, and caustic to electronics through exposure to atomized salt-water and humidity, whereas maritime is anywhere within 5-miles of a coastal environment.

NOT suitable for maritime/coastal environment installations. Installing this fixture in a maritime/coastal environment may cause corrosion and/or excessive wear to the interior and/or exterior components of the fixture. Damages and/or performance issues resulting from installation in a maritime/coastal environment will void the manufactures warranty, and will NOT be subject to any warranty claims and/or repairs.

Maritime installations require additional preparation, and additional service intervals may be needed given the maritime use. In general, IP ratings presuppose freshwater conditions VS maritime conditions, which are typically more "caustic" to IP fixtures (both internally and externally). A duty-cycle may also be needed when units are not in use. During times of high humidity and colder temperatures, condensation may occur internally so the fixture may require a duty-cycle to bring it up to running temperature, allowing any accumulation of moisture to be expelled via the vent valve. Recommendations can change based on installation environmental circumstances. A waterproof dome or similar device is recommended for use in permanent outdoor installations. When using a dome, refer to manufacturer recommendations for duty-cycle.

NOTE: NOT ALL FEATURES LISTED ARE AVAILABLE ON ALL FIXTURES; THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MAY NOT APPLY. CONTACT SUPPORT FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

Exterior Maintenance: Inspect the exterior every 30-days. The unit must be powered off/disconnected. The chassis should be inspected for any signs of contaminants. Inspect optics to determine if the lens is obstructed, then clean optics and chassis accordingly. Based on initial finding, schedule maintenance accordingly, keeping in mind that exterior maintenance will be required. Even if the luminaires are NOT in use, maintenance will still be needed given its location (exterior use). The use of a durable type of wax on the chassis is recommended since it will help prevent contaminant build up. Inspect both power and data lines for any signs of contaminants or corrosion. Periodically reapplying di-electric grease, especially in coastal environments. If any signs of corrosion/contaminants are present, clean thoroughly, and/or replace connectors, then reapply di-electric grease. Typically, this should be done annually, or any time an opportunity presents itself. As a preventive measure, annual replacement of both vent valves is recommended. The vent valve membrane can become contaminated and/or clogged causing improper venting of humidity within the luminaire. Inspect all mounting hardware as a precaution.

Interior Maintenance: Inspect the interior every 30-days. The unit must be powered off/disconnected.

• Inspect zoom/focus mechanism, clean optics, lubricate linear bearings (Krytox oil) as needed, inspect belts for wear
• Inspect all rotating effect wheels, manually rotate them, note any resistance
• Inspect all remaining rotating belts for any wear
• Inspect all fans, clean as needed, check rotation, check connections
• Inspect CMY module, manually move flags and check for signs of resistance, and if needed, clean guide rods first, then reapply a thin layer of grease (moly lube)
• Clean interior with low-volume compressed air, then clean optics prior to reassembly of head covers

Although the base has limited moving parts, the pan belt should also be inspected for wear. Remember to always perform an IP test anytime a cover is removed.

There is no specific time frame regarding the routine replacement of parts such as belts/stepper motors, PCBs, or LEDs. These items should only be replaced on an as needed bases, except for cooling fans, which should be replaced once the luminaries reach 10,000-hours. This is a prophylactic measure intended to keep the unit running as cool as possible, insuring proper function of all internal components. A complete service breakdown is available, please contact [e-mail] for any needed parts or manuals.

OVERVIEW

CONNECTIONS

AC CONNECTIONS

The Aria X2 IPC is rated for 100-240V 50/60Hz, and accepts AC mains power within that range. Do not connect it to power outside this range. Note that the device uses a T1.25A/250V fuse. Damage resulting from incorrect connection is not covered under warranty. A cable with a NEMA 15-5P plug is provided for use with the Aria X2 IPC in the USA and Canada. This approved cable must be used in North America.

DMX CONNECTIONS:

The DMX Input/Output connections are 5pin male/female XLR. The pin-out on the socket is pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold (-), and pin 3 to hot (+). Pins 4 and 5 are not used. Carefully connect DMX cables to the respective ports. To prevent damaging the DMX ports, provide strain relief and support. Avoid connecting FOH Snakes to the ports directly.

FALLING FIXTURES CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR SERIOUS EQUIPMENT DAMAGE! FOR THIS REASON, FIXTURES SHOULD BE INSTALLED AND INSPECTED ONLY BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. DO NOT INSTALL THE UNIT IF YOU LACK THE QUALIFICATIONS TO DO SO, OR IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS ABOUT THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE INSTALLATION SETUP OR LOCATION!

ALWAYS ATTACH A SAFETY CABLE WHENEVER INSTALLING THIS FIXTURE IN A SUSPENDED ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE THE FIXTURE WILL NOT FALL IF THE CLAMP FAILS.

SETUP GUIDELINES

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Aria Bluetooth app has the ability to connect wirelessly to any device that has Aria wireless DMX installed and has Bluetooth enabled.

Before installing the fixture in a remote location, double check that the fixture's main power is switched on, and that the Bluetooth function has been enabled in the fixture's system menu.

Certain fixtures may have Bluetooth disabled by default. If this function is disabled, then the fixture cannot be configured remotely using the Aria app, and will have to be configured directly from the fixture's control screen.

Additionally, the user should consider setting the fixture's No DMX setting to "Hold Last". This will allow the fixture to continue running using the current settings, even if the Aria app device moves out of range, the app is closed, or the signal is otherwise interrupted, minimizing disruption in the operation of the fixtures.

LEGACY DEVICES

Please note that legacy connected devices, such as those using E-Fly, or Magfly, are not compatible with this app. For such legacy devices, the use of a bridge is recommended, as the bridge can communicate with these devices via its SM220 protocol.

The Aria X2 BLE app is currently available from the Apple app store.

FIXTURE IDENTIFICATION

Aria compatible devices can be identified and connected via the Fixtures tab in the app. This tab displays a field of twenty-four buttons that can be assigned to Aria compatible devices that are within range, and the buttons will automatically be assigned to devices in the order in which they are discovered. If more than twenty-four units are within range, it may be necessary to use the filter feature to search for the desired fixture. Button location can be edited by selecting the configuration key, then the user can drag and drop the buttons to the desired location and hit save to keep changes. Once a device is known to the app, it can also be assigned to a particular button. From that point forward, the assigned device will always be assigned to that button location.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For version 0.65 or higher, a shared system password is required to connect to any device.

Unlike wireless DMX, Bluetooth is a connect first protocol. To connect to a device or fixture, tap the assigned button in the Fixtures tab. If the connection is successful, a green frame will appear around the button, indicating that the app was able to retrieve the current channel values from the fixture. The app must be connected to a fixture in order to use its channel controls or view and change settings. Please note that not all Aria devices have channel controls.

Additionally, each fixture can only be connected to one device with the app at any given time. Once a fixture is connected to the app installed on one device, any other devices will be blocked from connecting. As a result, when setting up a new fixture for the first time, best practice is to have only a single user with the app open within range, in order to ensure that the fixture pairs to the intended user's device.

SETUP GUIDELINES

DETECTED DEVICES

The second table section shows all Aria devices detected in range. A checkmark indicates the device is currently assigned to a button. If more than 24 devices are within range, the user may remove or add devices to the buttons list by tapping a row to check or uncheck a device. If all buttons are full, it will be necessary to uncheck a device before adding another.

Filter: The user can filter which Aria devices get button assignments by tapping "filter" at the top of the view. A popup will appear where the user can enter text to filter devices by username, model name, or manufacturer. Please note that these searches are case sensitive.

Note: If a device shows an asterisk (*) it means that there is no fixture profile currently available, and therefore there will be limited support available for that device. The user will still be able to connect and adjust channels if the device supports that feature, but the user will not be able to view how many channels the device has or the channel names.

SECURITY

Each fixture must have a password saved to be secure. When a new fixture is installed for the first time, its password will automatically be set to the app's system password on first connection. Once the password has been entered, the user will need to exit out to the main page containing the fixture buttons, then de-select and re-select the fixture to lock in the password. From that point forward only, controlling devices that use the correct password can connect to this fixture. This security is now required by law in most jurisdictions.

The app will detect any Aria capable fixture within range, even if the app does not have the password to that fixture and therefore cannot access that fixture. If that fixture is selected in the app, the green frame will momentarily appear around that fixture's button, but then disappear. This indicates that the fixture is visible but inaccessible.

SYSTEM MENU

The Aria X2 IPC features an LCD display screen with 4 control buttons, which can be used to easily adjust any device settings. Button functions and locations are as described below:

• MODE (top left) - Cycles through main menu options, or returns to the main menu without making adjustments.
• ENTER (bottom left) - Selects the option currently displayed on the screen, and opens up the next sub-menu option if applicable.
  UP (top right) / DOWN (bottom right) - Scrol1s up or down through the list of options for the currently selected menu.

Additionally, the control panel includes indicator lights that signify that the unit is receiving power and broadcasting/receiving over DMX, and or Aria X2.

FREQUENCY & WIRELESS LOCATION GUIDELINES

2GHz Versus Sub-GHz Frequencies:

Sub-GHz frequencies provide superior reliability and range compared to higher frequencies, making them perfect for consistent communication across vast distances or in difficult conditions. Devices operating in the sub-GHz range, which refers to frequencies below 1 GHz, can transmit signals over significant distances and can penetrate physical barriers such as walls and buildings more effectively. Additionally, these frequencies experience less interference compared to those in the heavily congested 2.4-GHz band, which is commonly used by wireless devices.

In the United States, the 900 MHz band is a versatile frequency range that is utilized by various services, with the FCC overseeing its allocation and regulation.

In the European Union, the 868 MHz frequency is designated by ETSI as the Sub-GHz frequency.

In summary, if an application demands high data rates and more bandwidth in urban or densely populated areas where interference management is feasible, the 2.4 GHz frequency is a suitable choice. On the other hand, for applications requiring long-range communication and better obstacle penetration, particularly in rural or industrial settings with fewer regulatory constraints, a Sub-GHz frequency (<1 GHz) is a better option.

Installation Recommendations:

With the many factors that affect and/or interrupt a wireless signal such as walls, glass, metal, objects, and people, it is highly recommended to:

Install devices a minimum of 9.8 ft. (3m) above audiences and/or ground level where practical.
- Adjust the wireless antenna in a vertical upright position
- Position devices in direct line of sight of the controlling E-FLY device

Careful planning and testing of the selected installation location is critical to ensure optimum and reliable wireless operation.

9.8 ft (3m) Above Ground

3. To update the fixture, press 'Update', select 'Aria X2', click 'Update Radios', then click 'Update Fixture'.
4. Click the upload icon, select the fixture update file from your phone, and then click 'Update 1 Radio'. The fixture will begin updating, and after it finishes, the software file version and update date will be displayed.
5. To update the Aria module, follow the same steps, but select 'Update Aria' instead.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!

FUSE REPLACEMENT

Locate and remove the unit's power cord. Once the cord has been removed, locate the fuse holder next to the power socket. Insert a flat-head screw driver into the slot, and gently turn the cover of the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse, and replace with a new one. Double check silkscreen for fuse value (T1.25A/250V).

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is recommended to ensure proper function, optimized light output, and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky, or particularly dirty environments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture's optics. Clean the external lens surface periodically with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.

NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections are recommended to ensure proper function and extended life.

There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture, please refer all other service issues to an authorized ADJ service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local ADJ dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition in order to prevent overheating.
• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose screws may fall out during normal operation, resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
• Check for any deformations on the housing, rigging hardware, and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue, or sediments.
• NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.

TORQUE SETTINGS FOR SCREWS
