Set Up
Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source volt-
age in your area matches the required voltage for your Elation ELED
TRI64B. The Elation ELED TRI64B is available in a 120v and 220v ver-
sion. Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be
sure your unit voltages matches the wall outlet voltage before attempt-
ing to operate you fixture.
chained and can not be split.
Notice: Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own
cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-
nect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield
conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
COMMON
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-
tocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures
and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from
the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that trav-
els from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR ter-
minals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA
“OUT” terminal).

DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of
different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single
controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compli-
ant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several
DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order
in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the
DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1
may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end,
or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address
of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1
to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
Figure 3
Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are
used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic
behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-
nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and
DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last
unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator
(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.
Termination reduces signal errors and

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation):
The ELED TRI64B can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The ELED
TRI64B has 6 DMX modes, please see pages 10-
12 for the different modes. The DMX address is
set on the back panel of the ELED TRI64B. Your
unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-
pin XLR connector for data input and data output
(Figure 1). If you are making your own cables,
be sure to use standard two conductor shielded
cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all
pro sound and lighting stores). Your cables should

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR
connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures
may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting stan-
dard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be
used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The
chart below details a proper cable conversion.

Operating Instructions
follow the “Master.”
LED Display On/Off:
To set the LED display to turn off after 10 seconds, press the MODE
button until 0001 is displayed, press the UP button to display 0002.
Now the display will disappear after 10s. Press any button to turn
the display on again. Be advised though that the display will turn off
automatically after 10 seconds.
Sound Active Mode:
In this mode the ELED TRI64B will react to sound, and chase through the
different colors.
1. Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until “7-So” is dis-
played.
To set the display press the MODE button until 0001 is displayed. The
display will now stay on at all times.
0001= LCD display on at all times.
2. The fixture will now change via sound.
Macro Mode:
1. Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until “8-XX” is dis-
played.
0002= LCD display shuts off after 10 seconds.
Operating Modes:
You can use the ELED TRI64B in four ways:
2. There are 35 macros to choose from. Select your desired macro by
pressing the UP and DOWN buttons.
• Sound-Active mode - The unit will react to sound, chasing through the
built in programs.
Auto Mode:
1. Plug the fixture in and press the MODE button until “9-XX” is dis-
played.
• Macro Mode - There are 35 color macros to choose from.
• Auto Mode - There are 6 built in programs to choose from.
• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each
individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512 controller such as
as the Elation® Show Designer™.
2. There are 6 built in programs to choose from. Select your desired
program by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. You can set your
program speed by following the instructions below.
Master-Slave Operation:
Auto Mode Speed Adjustment:
This function will allows you to link units together to run in a Master-
Slave mode. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the controlling
unit and the others will react to the controlling units built-in programs.
Any unit can act as a Master or as a Slave however, only one unit can be
programmed to act as the “Master.”
1. To adjust the speed of your Auto mode program press the MODE
button until “A-XX” is displayed.
2. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to make the adjustmetns. “A-01” is
the slowest speed, “A-15” the fastest speed. When the display
reads “A-00” the Auto mode is running by sound activity. Set to your
desire.
Master-Slave Connections and Settings:
1. Daisy chain your units via the XLR connector on the rear of the unit.
Use standard XLR microphone cables to link your units together.
Remember that the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female
XLR connector is the ouput. The first unit in the chain (master) will
use the female XLR connector only. The last unit in the chain will use
the male XLR connector only.
2. Set the “Master” unit to your desired mode or operation.
3. For the “Slave” unit(s), set the display to DMX mode 3, or 3 Channel
mode. The display should read “3000” or any variables, i.e “3001”,
“3002 etc..
DMX Mode:
Operating through a DMX controller gives the user the freedom to create
their own programs tailored to their own individual needs. This function
also allows you to use your fixtures as spot lights. The ELED TRI64B has
6 DMX modes: 1 Channel mode, 2 Channel mode, 3 Channel mode, 4
Channel mode, 6 Channel mode, and a 7 Channel mode. See pages 10-
12 for each modes’ DMX traits.
1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture’s traits
with a standard DMX 512 controller such as the Elation® Show
Designer™ or the Elation® DMX Operator™.
2. To run your fixture in DMX mode, plug in the fixture via the XLR con-
4. Connect the “Slave” unit or units and they will automatically start to
