2- IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
2.1 Fire prevention:
The use of any other alternative lamp is not recommended and will null and void the fixture's warranty.
-Never locate the fixture on any flammable surface.
-Minimum distance from flammable materials: 1 MT.
-Minimum distance from the closest illuminable surface: 2 MT.
-Replace any blown or damaged fuses only with those of identical value. Refer to the wiring diagram if
there is any doubt.
-Connect the projector to mains power via a thermal magnetic circuit breaker.
2.2 Prevention of electric shock:
-High voltage is present inside the unit. Unplug the unit prior to performing any function which involves
touching the inside of the moving head, including lamp replacement.
-The level of technology inherent in the XR9 requires the assistance of specialised personnel for all
servicing.Please refer to an authorised DTS service centre.
-A good earth connection is essential for proper functioning of the projector.
-Never connect the unit without proper earth connection.
-The fixture should be located in places with a good air ventilation.
2.3 Protection against ultraviolet radiation:
-Never turn on the lamp if any of the lenses, filters or ABS covering is damaged. Their respective
shielding functions will only operate efficiently if they are in perfect working order.
-Never look directly the lamp when it is on.
2.4 Safety:
-The projector should always be installed with bolts, clamps and other tools that are capable of
supporting the weight of the unit.
-Always use a second safety cable to sustain the weight of the unit in case of the failure of the main
fixing point.
-The external surface of the unit, at various points, may exceed 70°C. Never handle the unit until at
least 10 minutes have elapsed since the lamp was turned off.
-Always replace the lamp if any physical damage is evident.
-Never install the fixture in an enclosed area lacking sufficient air flow. The ambient temperature should
not exceed 40°C.
-A hot lamp may explode, so always wait for at least 10 minutes prior to attempting to replace the lamp.
-Always wear suitable hand protection when handling the lamp.
2.5 Level of protection against the penetration of solid and liquid objects:
-The projector is classified as an ordinary appliance and its protection level against the penetration of
solid and liquid objects is IP 20.
XR9 uses a Philips 575 MSR/2 or MSD
3- MOUNTING THE LAMPS
Warning: Switch off the unit before replacing the lamp.
1) Using a screwdriver, remove the 3 screws A,B, C, (photo 1) which fix the lamp holder.
2) Remove the lamp holder assembly (photo2).
3)Insert the lamp (photo 3).
The lamp used on XR 9 is made in quartz glass and should be handled with care. Always follow the
instructions supplied in the lamp's packaging. Never touch the glass directly but use the tissue provided
in the lamp's packaging. The GX9,5 lamp socket is symmetrical.
DO NOT USE UNDUE FORCE ON THE GLASS. In case of difficulty, read again the instructions and repeat
the procedure.
4) Replace the lamp assembly and tighten the screws A,B,C, which were previously removed (photo4).
3.1 Lamp alignment
Attention: we recommend to align the lamp in the optical system to avoid overheating of the dichroic
filters and other components inside the unit.
Alignment is carried out using the 3 adjusters X, Y and Z.
During this operation you must have a uniform luminosity all around the projected area.

4- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY
The XR9 with electronic ballast can operate at 90-245 VOLT 50 or 60 Hz.
5- INSTALLATION
XR9 may be either floor or ceiling mounted.
For floor mounting installations, the XR9 is supplied with four rubber mounting feet on the base.
For ceiling mounted installations, we reccomend the use of appropriate clamps to fix the unit to the
mounting surface.
The supporting structure from which the unit is hung should be capable of bearing the weight of the
unit, as should any clamps used to hang it. The structure should also be sufficiently rigid so as not to
move or shake whilst the XR9 is moving.
Four quarter turn fast locks placed on the base of the units,allows by using the two fast lock C clamps
provided in the box, to fix the unit in any position.
.
5.1- Safety cable
We recommend the use of a safety cable or chain connected to the Xr9 and to the suspension truss in
order to avoid the fixture accidentally falling should the main fixing point fail. Make sure that the iron
cable or chain can bear the weight of the entire unit.
You may attach the safety chain to the two holes (A) located on the base of the fixture, as shown in the
picture below.
5.2- Protection against liquids
The projector contains electric and electronic components which should under no circumstances come
into contact with oil, water or any other liquid. The proper unit functioning would be compromised
should this occur.
7XR 9 SPOT
A
5.3- Movement
The projector has a maximum movement of 540° for Pan and 270° for Tilt. DO NOT place any
obstructions in the path of the projector's movement.
5.4- Risk of fire
Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated place. The minimum recommended
distance from flammable material is 1 MT.
Minimum distance from the object being illuminated is 2 MT.
5.5- Forced ventilation
You will note, on inspection, that the unit features various air inlets and cooling fans located on both the
base and head of the fixture. These should, under no circumstances, be blocked or obstructed whilst the
projector is in operation.
Doing so could cause the fixture to seriously overheat thereby compromising its proper operation.
5.6- Ambient temperature
The projector should never be installed in places that lack a constant air flow. The ambient temperature
should NOT exceed 40°C.
6- MAINS CONNECTION
XR9 with electronic ballast operate at 90-260 VOLT 50-60 Hz.
Prior to connecting the unit to your mains supply,
ensure that the model in your possession correctly matches
the mains supply available. For connection purposes,
ensure that your plug is capable of supporting 6,3 amps at 230V,
Or16 amps at 100-120 V
Strict adherence to regulatory norms is strongly recommended.
6.1- Protection
The use of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker is recommended for each XR9.
A good earth connection is essential for the correct operation of the projector.
7- DMX SIGNAL CONNECTION
The unit operates using the digital DMX 512 (1990) signal. Connection between the mixer and the
projector or between projectors must be carried out using a two pair screened ø 0.5 mm cable and a
CANNON XLR 5 or 3 pins connector.
XR9 with electromagnetic ballast operate at 230 VOLT 50-60 Hz

Ensure that the conductors do not touch each other.Do not connect the cable ground to the XLR chassy
The plug housing must be isolated. Connect the mixer signal to the DMX IN projector plug and connect it
to the next projector by connecting the DMX OUT plug on the first projector to the DMX IN plug of the
second one.
In this way, all the projectors are cascade connected.
NB. If the display showing the DMX address flashes, then one of the following errors has occurred:
- DMX signal not present
- DMX address not valid
- DMX reception problem
For Installations where long distance DMX cable connections are needed,we suggest to use a DMX
terminator.
The DMX terminator is a male XLR 3-5 pins connector with a 120 ohm resistor
Between pin 2 and 3.
The DMX terminator must be plugged into the last unit (DMX out panel connector) of the DMX line.

7.1-DMX Addresses
XR9 can be used in two different modes: 18 or 26 DMX (default) channels.
If you want to use the XR9 in 18 channels mode, select the 18 CH mode from the MODE menu and set
the following addresses on the mixer:
Projector 1 A001
Projector 2 A019 If you want to select the next projector, just add “18”
Projector 3 A037
….. A….
projector 6 A091
If you want to use the XR9 in 26 channels mode, select the 26 CH mode from the MODE menu and set
the following addresses:
Projector 1 A001
Projector 2 A027 If you want to select the next projector, just add “26”
Projector 3 A053
….. A….
Projector 6 A131
7.2-Selecting the DMX address
1) Press the UP-DOWN key until you reach the required DMX channel. The numbers on the display will
start to flash (but the new DMX address hasn't yet been set).
2) Press ENTER to confirm your selection. The numbers on the display will stop flashing and the
projector is now setted to the new DMX address.
TRICKS:
if you keep pushed the UP or DOWN keys, the channels are calculated more quickly and you get a
faster selection.
