Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of an Effects Master Series Fixture by Wildfire. These powerful and versatile ultraviolet fluorescent lighting fixtures feature twin lamps, polished everbrite reflectors and state of the art electronic universal voltage ballasts. Each Effects Master Fixture is precision engineered to provide you with years of trouble free service. Please take a moment to read this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate this fixture. Improper set-up, use or servicing may cause damage to the fixture and/or lamps and void the unit’s warranty.
Unpacking Unpack the fixture and carefully inspect it for any signs of physical damage. Report any damage to Wildfire or your local distributor immediately. Included with each unit should be the following items: 1. Two “L” shaped mounting brackets with one 1/2” mounting hole for mounting the fixture to a standard c-clamp and two 3/8” mounting holes for mounting the fixture to Unistrut or a flat surface. 2. Two rubber friction washers that are to be placed between the mounting brackets and the end caps on either end of the fixture allowing it to be held firmly in place upon tightening the locking knobs 3. Two locking knobs with ¼-20 threaded studs that screw into the end caps.
Optional Accessories: UVT Protective Lens Kit - This kit consists of an acrylic plastic lens that slides into the housing to protect the lamps. Included in this kit are two small brackets that mount on either end of the fixture holding the lens in place. This protective lens is made from a special UV transmitting plastic and is designed not to yellow or become brittle under normal operating conditions. Contact Wildfire or your local distributor for pricing Louver Kit- This aluminum louver features 1” long blades spaced 2” apart that run perpendicular with the lamps. Included in the louver are two small brackets that mount on either end of the fixture holding it in place. Contact Wildfire or your local distributor for pricing. Light Stand Mount - This aluminum mount enables you to attach your Effects Master fixture to any standard light stand. (Optional 5/8” baby pin or TVMP adapter required) Contact Wildfire or your local distributor for pricing. Floor Mount Kit- This aluminum stand set enables you to mount your Effects Master fixture on the floor for footlight applications. Contact Wildfire or your local distributor for pricing. T-Bar Ceiling Mount- These brackets enable you to mount your Effects Master fixture to the t-bars in a standard drop ceiling. Contact Wildfire or your local distributor for pricing.
Setup The first step is to install the mounting brackets on either end of the fixture (see fig. 2 in the Diagrams section of this manual). Next install the lamps refer to Lamp Replacement on page 7 for correct installation. New fluorescent lamps have impurities in them which lamp manufacturers cannot eliminate completely. Lamps must be operated at full intensity for 100 hours before dimming to neutralize the harmful effects of these impurities. Although this may be inconvenient, it is necessary for good dimming performance, and achieving normal lamp life. Without the 100 hours at full intensity, the impurities may cause the lamp to fail within a week (or failure may take months depending on usage and the amount of impurities) Plug the fixture into the appropriate power source. If you are controlling the unit with a lighting control board you will need to make sure it is plugged into a non-dim circuit. Because the Effects Master Series fixtures are equipped with electronic power factor correction ballasts they will not operate correctly when plugged into a dimmable circuit. 4
Operation & Features EM-2B & EM-4B: Two and four foot Standard models. These units are designed to be a simple high output source for fluorescent light. They have no control functions.
EM-2D & EM-4D: Two and four foot Deluxe models Connecting – The DMX model fixtures are supplied with a pair of 5 pin XLR connectors and a pair of RJ-45 connectors for the DMX signal. Pin configuration for the XLR connectors is: Pin 1 Common, Pin 2 Data Minus and Pin 3 Data Plus. Pins 4 and 5 are not used at this time. Pin configuration for the RJ-45 connectors is: Pin 4 (blue wire) Common, Pin 6 (green wire) Data Minus and Pin 3 (green and white wire) Data Plus. Addressing - Set the three rotary switches on the back of the unit to the desired DMX address (001 to 510) this will be the address for lamp A. Lamp B will be the next address number in sequence. For example if you set lamp A for DMX address 10 lamp B will be DMX address 11. When either lamp A or lamp B receives a DMX 512 data signal of 6 to 255 on their assigned address that lamp will switch on at an intensity level determined by the data signal, 6 being the dimmest 255 being the brightest. At a data signal of 0 to 5 the lamp will remain off. By default the fixture will remain off if power is applied and no DMX signal is present. Setting the rotary switches to DMX address 701 forces the fixture on manually regardless if there is DMX signal present or not Programming - The unit can be programmed in a sequence via a DMX lighting control board or software to flash, strobe or alternate between lamps. For example to set the unit on DMX address 10 to flash both lamps at 50% intensity at an interval of on for 3 seconds off for 3 seconds you would first set the rotary switches on the back of the unit to 010. You would then program a loop sequence on your DMX lighting control board or software to provide address 010 and 011with a DMX data value of 0 for 3 seconds then 125 for 3 seconds.
Cabling and grounding of DMX Before connecting units to cable, it is important to understand that these units are designed to be connected in only one way. The DMX units are supplied with "DMX512 IN" and "DMX512 OUT" connectors allowing for daisy chaining multiple units together. If multiple units are connected in this manner you will need to insert a DMX512 terminator into the DMX512 out jack on the last fixture in each chain to terminate the DMX signal. It is important to use the correct cables when installing a DMX512 network. If you do not already have the proper cables, contact Wildfire or your local distributor. If you are building your own cables, you must use proper shielding and grounding techniques to ensure proper operation and safety. The failure to follow the correct shielding and grounding techniques could damage the fixture. We suggest following the "Recommended Practice for DMX512" available through the USITT.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting Lamp Replacement Refer to Fixtures Specifications on page 4 for information on selecting the proper replacement lamp for your fixture. Unplug the fixture. If this is not possible then steps should be taken that would allow the fixture to remain in an off state while re-lamping. If your Effects Master is equipped with The UVT protective lens or Transverse Louver option, this will need to be removed first before replacing the lamps. To remove the protective lens, first determine which end is easiest to slide the lens from the unit. Looking at that end, locate the two Phillips screws that hold the lens-retaining bracket to the side of the fixture. Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two screws that hold the bracket in place. (Do Not Remove the Screws). Once the two screws are loose, the bracket will slide out from under the screw heads. Now that the bracket is removed, slide the protective lens out of the housing. Holding the lamp firmly with two hands, one hand near each end of the lamp, rotate the lamp about its long center-line axis, one quarter (1/4) turn either clockwise or counter-clockwise. The sockets will click and the lamp will become loose. Gently lift the lamp free of the sockets. Install the new lamp by lining up the two pins on the ends of the lamp so that they will slide into the open slot in the lamp holder. Gently set the lamp into the sockets until the lamp pins rest on the lamp socket. Gently turn the lamp one-quarter (1/4) turn either clockwise or counter-clockwise, until the lamp socket makes a small click or you feel a detent position. Gently lift up on the lamp to make sure that both ends of the lamp are installed correctly, neither end of the lamp should move in the socket.
Cleaning For best performance, the reflector, lamps and protective lens should be kept free of dirt and dust. At no time should any cleaning chemicals or abrasives be used to clean any part of the unit. For normal cleaning, a dry soft cloth should be used to wipe any surface free from dust and light dirt. Cleaning the reflector will require that the lamps be removed. Remove lamps by following the instructions listed under Lamp Replacement above. Always unplug the unit before cleaning. Once the lamps have been removed, gently wipe off the reflector using a soft dry cloth. In the event the reflector is heavily soiled, lightly dampen the cloth with a mild window cleaning agent and wipe. Lamps should be cleaned using the same method; first use a dry soft cloth and then proceed with a window-cleaning agent if lamp is too heavily soiled. Do not spray or apply any liquid directly to any part of the fixture.
Troubleshooting Other than the lamps, there are no user serviceable parts in the fixture. If the unit will not flash or strobe push DMX512 control slider to "Max" If unit still does not light, check unit has power and functioning lamps. If the unit still does not function, check for good grounding to the AC power outlet. The unit will not function or will function poorly if it has a poor ground connection. Two prong outlets will not work. Be completely sure that the outlet is grounded and that it is truly connected at the outlet and throughout the building wiring. A qualified maintenance person should check for proper grounding to avoid risk of electric shock. Poor grounding can lead to many problems down the road, such as intermittent behavior.
