SETUP Lamp You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. An MSD250 high intensity discharge lamp is included. Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement. Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp with alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
Introduction Lamp Alignment How-To Often, after a new installation of a lamp, you will find that there is an uneven field of light or what is referred to as a hot spot. This is due to the most intense point of the lamp source not being positioned optimally within the reflector. S2 There are three lamp alignment screws provided at the base of the projector head. Turning these screws allow you to optimize the projection quality of the spot as well as the overall intensity of the beam. 1.
Introduction Mounting O ri ent at ion Both fixtures can sit on stage or be mounted on a truss using a clamp in any position, provided, there is adequate room for ventilation. W ar nin g It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp replacement access and routine maintenance. Safety cables should always be used.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Control Panel On the control panel you can set the DMX address, set the fixture to Master/Slave mode, reset the fixture and change fixture personality traits.
Operating Modes A stand-alone mode will listen to sound and run through its diverse range of built in programs. Master/Slave mode will allow the command of up to as many units you want in a synchronized light show to the sound. DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity. Each fixture trait can be controlled individually using any universal DMX-512 controller.
Operating Instructions DM X M ode Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to customizing or creating a show. You can tailor your programming to suit a specific event. Whether it is a wedding where a spot light may be required or a lead singer requiring a color solo, the opportunities are endless. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture independently. Da is y Ch ai n Conn e ct i on 1.
User Configurations P 1 - Pa n I nv e rt / P 2- T ilt I nv e rt It is possible to invert the pan and tilt mirror movement from within the fixture itself. This could be helpful in situations where the positioning or rigging of a fixture led to a reverse orientation of the fixture in relation to all or most other fixtures installed.
APPENDIX DMX Primer There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX-512 will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance.

Maintenance To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance. Unplug fixture from power.
