Set Up  
Opti 30 RGB  
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 Opti 30  
RGB. The Elation Opti 30 RGB is available in a 120v and 220v version.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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  
avoids signal transmission problems  
and interference. It is always advisable  
to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance  
120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)  
and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX Operation):  
The Opti 30 RGB can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Opti 30  
RGB has 6 DMX Modes. 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 be made  
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.  
3-Pin XLR to 5-Pin XLR Conversion  
with a male and female XLR connector on either  
end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable  
must be daisy chained and can not be split.

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 Opti 30 RGB 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 Opti 30 RGB in four ways:  
2. There are 36 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 36 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 Opti 30 RGB 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™.  
4. Connect the “Slave” unit or units and they will automatically start to
