Design Spot 575E™ 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 may years to come. Do not shake the fixture around. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
Design Spot 575E™ 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 20 minutes before attempting any type of service.
Design Spot 575E™ 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 575E™ 3. To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws clockwise a 1/4-turn 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 Spot 575E™ 6. 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 Spot 575E™ 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 Spot 575E™ 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 575E™ Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your Design Spot 575E™ 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 575E™ 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. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the fixture.
Design Spot 575E™ Be sure to follow the pin configuration chart below 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 575E™ a cable terminator (Elation part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior. 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.
Design Spot 575E™ 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. - The DMX cable or connector is defective.
Design Spot 575E™ 8. Display LED Indicators. The Design Spot 575E™ 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 .

Design Spot 575E™ 11. ERROR CODES: When power is applied, the unit will automatically enter a “reset/test” mode. This mode brings all the internal motors to a home position. If there is an internal problem with one or more of the motors an error code will flash in the display in the form of “XXer” were as XX will represent a function number. For example, when the display shows “02Er,” it means there is some type of error with the channel 2 motor.
Design Spot 575E™ located in the default position after the reset. Cyan Color Er (Cyan Color-wheel error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its drive circuit on the main PCB). The Cyan Color wheel is not located in the default position after the reset.
Design Spot 575E™ Gobo Rotation Er (Gobo Rotation wheel 1- 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 Gobo Rotation wheel 1 is not located in the default position after the reset.
Design Spot 575E™ magnetic-indexing circuit malfunction (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its driving IC on the main PCB).

Design Spot 575E™ 12. 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. There must not be any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for UV radiation leakage.
