4.Installation 4.1Fitting/Exchanging the lamp DANGER ! Install the lamp with the device switched off only. Unplug from mains before ! Lamp socket assembly screws "X,Y,Z W" To insert the lamp (CDM-SA/T 150W/942): 1.Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool. 2.Loosen the 4 screws „X, Y, Z,W” on the lamp socket assembly at the back of the head. 3.Gently pull the lamp socket assembly out of the head.Hold this assembly while replacing the lamp. 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 the screws „A, B, C” counterclockwise 1/4-turn at a time the light is bright and evenly distributed. 4.3 Inserting/Exchanging the colours and rotating gobos DANGER! Install the colours or gobos with the device switched off only.
CAUTION! Never unscrew the screws of the rotating gobo as the ball bearing will otherwise be opened! 4.4 Rigging DANGER TO LIFE! Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! Theinstallation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer! The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation. The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g.
CAUTION! Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss. Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base. Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure. The moving-head can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics .
Fixation via the Omega holders 1. Screw the clamps (1) to the omega holders (4) through the hole in the holders. 2. Fasten the omega holders on the botton of the base by inserting both quick-lock fasteners (3) into the holes of the base and tighten fully clockwise. 3. Fasten the safety-rope (2) through the two apertures on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system. 1-Clamp 2-Safety-rope 3-Quick-lock fastener 4-Omega holder 4.
4.6 DMX- 512 connection, master/slave connection Controller operation Master/slave operation Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

The COLORSPOT 170 AT can be operated with a controller in controller mode or without the controller in standalone mode. Both modes are described in the texts below. 6.Controller mode The fixtures are individually addressed (001-497) on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. 6.
Focus Motorized focus enables the beam to be focused anywhere on the stage. Shutter/Dimmer/Strobe The dimming (0-100%) is provided by the simple mechanical shutter unit. This unit may also be used for strobe effect (1 - 8 flashes per second). 7. Stand - alone mode The fixtures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can execute pre-set programs which can be different for every fixture.To set the program to be played,see the "Stand-alone setting" ( menu "St.AL.").
8. Functions of the control panel The control panel situated on the front side of the base offers several features. You can simply set the DMX address,master/slave mode, read the number of lamp or unit hours, run test, make a reset and also use many functions for setting and service purposes. The main menu of the control panel is accessed by pressing the [ Mode ] button - press this one so many times until the display shows message "A001" (with actually stored address).
Note:Disconect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating ,otherwise data collisions can occur and the fixtures will not work properly! If the fixture is set as the master and DMX signal is connected to its input,the error massage "MAEr" will appear on its display and the fixture's address will be set to its DMX address in order to respond to DMX signal from the controller. For example: The master fixture has this address setting:"dM.Ad."-menu.........A013 "MA.SL."-menu........
