INSTALLING THE PROJECTOR

1

• Unpacking

Open the wooden box, unscrew the two
transport screws (1), remove the pro-
jector from the packing and place it on
a flat horizontal surface.
Unpack the standard accessories sup-
plied with the fixture.
Inspect the lamp change label (2) and
replace it with one of the optional lan-
guage versions if necessary.
Make certain that the lamp change
label is never removed, as it displays
important safety information.

POWER SUPPLY AND INTERFACE

2

• Connecting to the electrical power supply

The operations described in this heading must be carried out by a licensed electrician.
The projector must be wired up to the electrical power supply using the special
socket connector provided. It is good policy to connect projectors to the power
supply by way of dedicated switches, so that each can be turned on and off indi-
vidually from a remote station.

The projector is designed to operate at the voltage and frequency indicated on the
electrical data plate (6) affixed to the rear end.
Check that these two values correspond to the mains voltage and frequency.

IMPORTANT: the projector must be connected to a power supply circuit
having a proper earth system (Class I appliance).

• Connecting the control signals: RS 232/423(PMX) - DMX 512

Projectors are wired up to the controller and one to the next using two-core
screened cable and Cannon 5 pin XLR type plug/socket connectors.
To connect a DMX line, a terminating plug (7) with a 100

resistor wired between

pins 2 and 3 must be fitted to the last projector connected in series; the plug is not
required when using an RS232/423(PMX) signal.

The wires must not come into contact with each other or with the metal cas-
ing of the plug.
The casing of the plug/socket must be connected to the screen and to pin 1
of the connectors.

Having completed the operations described above, press the on/off switch (8).
Check that the lamp comes on and that the auto-reset sequence starts.

• Initial assembly operations

Fix the bracket (3) with the screws (4) and secure it by tightening the knobs (5).

• Fitting the lamp

Refer to the directions for replacement of the lamp given under heading 5 MAINTENANCE.

• Installing the projector

The projector can be mounted in any position without its operating characteristics
being affected.

IMPORTANT: fix the projector in the desired position utilizing the holes in the
bracket. Secure preferably using two ø 12 mm bolts complete with nuts and lock
washers.
Make certain that the anchorage is stable before positioning the projector.

• Minimum distance from target objects

The projector must be positioned in such a
way that objects struck by the beam are
separated from the lens by a distance of at
least 0.5 m. (1’ 8”)

• Minimum distance of inflammable objects from any part of the equipment:

70 mm. (3’)

The fixture may be mounted on surfaces rated normally inflammable.

IMPORTANT: For better and more reliable operation of the projector, the ambient
temperature must not exceed 35° C (95° F). Protection factor IP 20: the fixture is
protected against penetration of solid bodies more than 12 mm (0.5”) in diameter
(first digit 2), but can be damaged by spray, jet, drip or rain water (second digit 0).
