Design Par 575H™ 4. GENERAL GUIDELINES This fixture is a professional lighting effect designed for use on stage, in nightclubs, in theatres, etc. Do not attempt operation or installation without a proper knowledge on how to so. This fixture was designed for indoor use only. Consistent operational breaks may ensure that the fixture will function properly for many years to come. Do not shake the fixture around. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
Design Par 575H™ 5. FIXTURE OVERVIEW 1) HEAD ASSEMBLY – This assembly holds the lamp, gel holder, lens, and reflector.
Design Par 575H™ assembly. Remove this cover to access the lamp. Refer to page 13 for proper lamp replacement. 3) ARM ASSEMBLY – This assembly holds the electronics, motors, and belt that control the unit’s tilt movement. 4) MENU DISPLAY – Four segment LED menu display, details all menu functions. See page 25 for more information on the menu’s functions. 5) MODE/ESC BUTTON – This button is used to access and exit the fixture’s on-board menu system.
Design Par 575H™ protect the electronics in the event of severer power fluctuations. Never defeat this fuse. In the event of fuse failure, always be sure to replace with an exact match fuse unless other wise specified by an authorized Elation Professional technician. 13) DMX OUT JACK – This 3-pin XLR jack sends a DMX signal to another DMX fixture. For best results this jack should be terminated if it is the last fixture in a DMX daisy chain (see DMX termination on page 21).
Design Par 575H™ 6. LAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installing or replacing the lamp Only install the lamp with the device unplugged from the mains. The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed. Before replacing the lamp be sure the unit has ample time to cool, to avoid injury to yourself never touch the lamp when it is hot. During the installation of halogen lamps do not touch the glass portion of the bulb bare handed. Always use a cloth to handle the lamps during insertion and removal.
Design Par 575H™ 4. Carefully insert the new lamp into the socket (Be sure to only use an approved lamp). Please remember the lamp should fit completely in the lamp socket. 5. Once the lamp has been inserted into the socket, gently slide the socket assembly back into place and secure with the large retaining thumbscrew. 6. Always be sure to optimize the lamp after lamp replacement.
Design Par 575H™ at a time until the light is evenly distributed. 4. If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low, the lamp is too far back in the reflector. "Push” the lamp out by turning each of the adjustment screws ("1, 2, 3”) counterclockwise turn until the light is bright and evenly distributed.
Design Par 575H™ 7. MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION Cautions: For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or in areas were the fixture might be reached by unauthorized personal. Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device’s weight. Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriate safety cable.
Design Par 575H™ Mounting points Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating working load limits, a fine knowledge of the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury. CAUTION! Be sure all electrical connections are performed by a qualified electrician.
Design Par 575H™ Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before connecting the main power cord to the appropriate wall outlet. Clamp Mounting The Design Par 575H™ provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that integrates the hanging yoke as well as the safety cable rigging point in one unit (see the illustration below).
Design Par 575H™ Securing the DESIGN PAR 575H™ Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your DESIGN PAR 575H™ always be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable. The fixture provides a built-in rigging point for a safety cable on the hanging bracket as illustrated above. Be sure to only use the designated rigging point for the safety cable and never secure a safety cable to a carrying handle.
Design Par 575H™ 8. UNDERSTANDING DMX Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation): Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output (see figure below). If you are constructing your own cables be sure to use two conductor shielded digital cable rated at a 120 ohms (this cable can be purchased at almost all professional sound and lighting stores).
Design Par 575H™ DMX-512 control connection Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head (Please refer to the diagram below.). You can chain multiple moving heads together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two conductor, shielded cable with XLR input and output connectors that is specially designed for DMX data transmission.
Design Par 575H™ Fixture DMX addressing; All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the head of the fixture.
Design Par 575H™ "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a DMX signal the display will flash "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If your fixture is connected to a DMX controller and the display is flashing (not receiving a DMX signal), please check the following: - The 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected or is not inserted completely into the DMX input jack. - The DMX controller is switched off or defective.
Design Par 575H™ 9. DISPLAY LED INDICATORS. The Design Par 575H™ has two LED indicators on the display. These indicators are designed to give a quick visual indication of the fixtures’ status. The illustration below details the functionality of the LED indicators. . . DMX OK . NO DMX Lamp on Lamp on .
