Design Spot 575B™ 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 do 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 Spot 575B™ 5. LAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS For a proper and safe lamp change, please read this chapter carefully and follow all instructions. Safety Regulations • Disconnect the unit’s main power supply. • Allow the unit to cool for at least 30 minutes before attempting any type of service.
Design Spot 575B™ OK NO 5. Once the lamp has been inserted into the socket, gently slide the socket assembly back into place and secure with the four retaining screws. 6. Reset the lamp run time in the system menu. 7. Always be sure to optimize the lamp after lamp replacement. Do not operate this device with open cover Lamp Optimization The lamp orientation and optimization must be adjusted after every lamp change. This procedure centers the lamp in the reflector.
Design Spot 575B™ 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 throughout the beam field.
Design Spot 575B™ 6. MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION Cautions: For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or in areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture. 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 Spot 575B™ 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 a qualified electrician performs all electrical connections.
Design Spot 575B™ yoke. As an added safety measure be sure to attached at least one properly rated safety cable to the fixture using on of the safety cable rigging point integrated in the bracket assembly Securing the Design Spot 575B™ Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your Design Spot 575B™ 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.
Design Spot 575B™ 7. UNDERSTANDING DMX DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. DMX allows all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller. This is possible as long as all the fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
Design Spot 575B™ Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
Design Spot 575B™ DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator A DMX terminator should be used in all DMX lines especially in longer runs. The use of a terminator may avoid erratic behavior in your DMX line. A terminator is a 120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor that is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This fixture is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last fixture in your daisy chain to terminate the line.
Design Spot 575B™ 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. You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different address for each individual fixture.
Design Spot 575B™ 8. FIXTURE MENU On-Board System Menu: The Design Spot 575B™ comes with an easy to navigate system menu. This next section will detail the functions of each command in the system menu. LCD Control Panel: The control panel located on the side of the fixture allows you to access the main menu and make necessary adjustments to the Design Spot 575B™. During normal operation, tapping the “MODE/ESC” key once will access the fixture’s main menu.

For example, when the display shows “02Er,” it means there is some type of error with the channel 2 motor.
Design Spot 575B™ located in the default position after the reset. Color Er (Color wheel- error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the yoke’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunction (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its driving IC on the main PCB). The color wheel is not located in the default position after the reset.
Design Spot 575B™ Focus Er (Focus error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the yoke’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunction (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its driving IC on the main PCB). The Focus is not located in the default position after the reset.
Design Spot 575B™ 16. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The following points have to be considered during the inspection: 1. Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws may fall out during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall. 2.
