To protect yourself and others from electric shock:
•If the Nexera fixture was received without an AC cord plug attached, attach the
appropriate lamp cord plug according to the following code:
green – ground/earth
gray – neutral
gray – line
•Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing the lamp, fuses, or
any electronic parts.
•Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically.
•Use a good source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and
has both overload and ground fault protection.
•Nexera fixtures and RAM Power Supplies are suitable for dry locations only. Do not
expose the fixture or power supply to rain or moisture.
•Refer all service to a Wybron certified service technician.
To protect yourself and others from burns and fire:
•Do not operate the fixture with missing or damaged lenses or reflector.
•When replacing the lamp, allow the fixture to cool for at least 5 minutes before removing
the lamp holder from the fixture.
•Do not stare directly into the light. Never look at an exposed lamp while it is illuminated.
•Replace the lamp if it becomes damaged or thermally deformed.
•A hot lamp may be an explosion hazard. Do not open the fixture for 5 minutes after power
has been disconnected. Wear eye and hand protection when re-lamping.
•Do not use any lamps other than those approved for use by Wybron and listed in this
manual. Use of any other lamp may be hazardous and may void the warranty.
•Keep all combustible materials (fabric, wood, paper, etc) at least 1 meter (39 inches)
away from the fixture. Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture.
•Do not illuminate surfaces within 1 meter (39 inches) of the fixture.
•Nexera fixtures are convection cooled. Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meter (4
inches) around all air vents.

to cool before handling.
•Do not modify the fixture or install any parts other than genuine Wybron replacement
parts.
•Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature exceeds 40º C (104ºF).
To protect yourself and others from injury due to falls:
•When suspending the fixture above ground level, verify that the structure can hold at
least 10 times the weight of all installed devices.
•Use a secondary safety cable when mounting this fixture.
•Verify that all external accessories and rigging hardware are securely fastened and use
an approved means of secondary attachment such as a safety cable.

Introduction
NexeraTM is Wybron's family of affordable dichroic CMY color mixing luminaires expressly
designed to complement your current equipment. Nexera wash lights and profile spots operate
just like the conventional theatrical fixtures you're using already, but with the addition of Wybron
CMY dichroic color mixing.
Nexera fixtures are offered with the Philips®GLC/GLA 575W compact tungsten sources (the
preferred source for theater and television) or CDM lamps, and provide superb light output and
beam uniformity. All Nexera fixtures are convection cooled and servo-driven, utilizing no fans for
silent operation. The patent-pending Wybron CMY color mixing module produces a wide color
palette, featuring an exceptional range of control over the most subtle theatrical colors like
bastard amber, light pink and no-color blue, all with seamless transitions between colors. Color
consistency over time is assured, because the glass filters will not fade with heat or age. Each
unit requires 3 DMX channels, thus they are easy to use and patch, even on the simplest of
control consoles. The chosen color is easily selected using any two of the three DMX control
channels. Color fades are gracefully accomplished with your choice of color path from one color
to the next. The Wybron CMY dichroic color-mixing module also allows designers to make color
choices and changes in real time.
All Nexera fixtures share a common lamp housing, borosilicate cold mirror reflector and Wybron
CMY dichroic color-mixing module for ease of service and flexibility. The Wybron CMY module
offers a menu display for DMX addressing and operational info. The Nexera has a front
accessory frame, allowing for standard sized accessories like gel frames, snoots, barn doors and
donuts to be fitted to the fixtures. The profiles accept standard M size patterns and accessories.
Quick Start
1. Connect the Equipment
a. Install the C-clamp onto the yoke using the yoke bolt.
b. Mount luminaire on mounting pipe using the C-clamp and safety cable.
c. Connect Nexera to the RAM Power Supply by using the 4-pin Power / Data
cable.
d. Connect the RAM Power Supply to a DMX source with a 5-pin cable.
e. Connect the RAM Power Supply to a 115/230V AC power.
f. Connect the Nexera to AC power (115V or 230V depending upon lamp installed.)
Metal parts of the lamp and reflector housing get hot!
2. Setup Nexera and Power Supply
a. Set the power supply starting channel to 1 (see power supply manual for
questions).
b. Set the power supply mode to CR2.
c. Set Nexera channel to 1 (Factory default).
d. Set Nexera to low speed color change mode (Factory default).
3. Control Nexera with DMX
a. DMX channel 1 controls Cyan (0% = no color, 100% = full saturation)
b. DMX channel 2 controls Magenta (0% = no color, 100% = full saturation)
c. DMX channel 3 controls Yellow (0% = no color, 100% = full saturation)
d. DMX channel 4 controls Dimming (CDM only, 0%=off, 100%=full on)
