Hello All, While I am a electronics technician, I have no experience with production lighting or LED systems as I am more of an amp guy. I recently purchased 8 old Elation/Alkalite TP-81 Intelligent LED Color Systems ( Link ) and a few 575E AT moving head lights at a liquidation sale for a local production company. Literally everything has 1 or two issues, but almost all of the TP-81sblow the 2A GMA fuse at power on. I am guessing this must have been a common issue with these because they...

We are currently using ShowXpress software so I am having to build my own profiles for all my new Elation lights. I am looking for a list of all the 64 Color Presets to properly name them, as well as the 13 Color Macros. I've searched on here as well as Google and haven't been able to locate the information. Thanks

Greetings unfortunately this is a very old unit and literature is no longer available. I would look at the toroidal transformer, im willing to bet its shorting out. FYI we no longer have parts available as well.

Thank you. I will take a resistance measurement from one of the functional units and see if I can find a suitable replacement.

I'm designing a 4D simulation using an Alcorn McBride V16 Pro as the base controller. For the lights, the V16 has MIDI out which I'm sending to an SD2 lighting board. The issue is that the MIDI format is different than standard MIDI. Does anyone know any workarounds for this? Particularly if you've had experience using WinScript to program MIDI cues. I don't know if there is a way for the MIDI message to automatically convert to Elation's format or if there is a specific I/O or variable I...

Good morning, i will refer this one to our show designer engineer Ken. it may take a day or so, just an fyi

The SD2 uses standard MIDI continuous controller messages to trigger scenes. As long as you can generate those from you software you should be able to create cues. The SD2 manual has a page that shows how to make the message. Controller messages work better than notes for this controller due to the large number of scene slots.

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has a fixture profile for an American DJ Focus Spot 3 light, or know of another profile that is already in the SD2 profiles folder, that will work with this fixture. The fixture has both an 18 and 21 channel DMX mode, while the SD2 only has 16 and 24, neither of which have worked with this light. I am using a closed government network so I'm not able to download and use the fixture profile creator that I've seen mentioned on other threads. Thank you for your...

greetings please send profile request for the show designer 2 to support at elationlighting.com

Hello, we actually do have a profile online for this fixture, you can download it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9vwp...a/FOCUSSP3Z.sdf?dl=0 This profile is for 18ch mode.

Hello, Can anybody help me locate g5UFAN1? My fixture is showing an error and I would like to try to replace the fan. Thank you!

Hey @Michael Dimsey , I would check number 5 board. That board would be the PCB with 7 Drivers Located towards the LED Source. It should have a sticker labeled HY1324/5U01, or the board should have a PCB1127-0-C. That fan should go to that board and connected to 5JB1. I would just follow that connection to the fan.
