- uses a MSD250 or CDM-T 150 . The use of any alternative lamp is not

recommended and will null and void the fixture's warranty.

-Minimum distance from the closest illuminable surface: 0,5 m.

-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.

-High voltage is present inside the unit. Isolate the projector from the mains supply prior to

performing any function which involves touching the inside of the unit, including lamp

replacement.

-The level of technology inherent in the . requires the assistance of specialised

personnel for all servicing. Refer all work to your authorised DTS service centre.

-A good earth connection is essential for proper functioning of the projector.

Never connect the unit without proper earth connection.

-Never turn the lamp on if the glass damaged. It respective shielding functions will only

operate efficiently if it is in perfect working order.

-Never look directly into the lamp when it is on.

2.4- Safety:

2.5- Level of protection against the penetration of solid and liquid matter

-The projector should always be installed with bolts, clamps and other fixtures that are

capable of supporting the weight of the unit.

-Always use a second safety chain of a suitable rating 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 100°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 35°C.

-A hot lamp may explode, so always wait for at least 10 minutes to elapse after the unit has

been turned off prior to attempting to replace the lamp.

Always wear suitable hand protection when handling the lamp.

-The projector is classified as an ordinary appliance and its level of protection against the

penetration of solid and liquid matter is IP 65.

The temperature inside the projector can reach 250° C after just 5 minutes, but it can get as

high as 350° C. Always check that the lamp is cold before attempting to remove it. In any

case, only open the appliance 10 minutes after it has been turned off.

1) Using a philips head screwdriver, remove the 3 screws placed on the rear end of the unit

so as to remove the lamp casing (photo 1).

2) Unscrew the three screws holding the lampsocket unit (photo2).

3) Remove the lampsocket unit and insert lamp in lampsocket (photo3).

3- MOUNTING THE LAMPS

WARNING: TURN POWER OFF BEFORE OPENING THE APPLIANCE.

The lamp used is manufactured from quartz glass and should be handled with care. Always

adhere to the instructions supplied in the lamp's packaging. Never touch the glass directly but

use the tissue provided in the lamp's packaging. The Gy 9.5 lampbase (MSD250)is not

symmetrical; the G12 lampbase (CDM-T 150) is simmetrical.

. In case of difficulty, re-read the

instructions and repeat the procedure.

Attention: we recommend that the lamp be realigned in the optical train of the unit (Photo 4).

Alignment is carried out using the 3 adjusters.

During this operation you must bring the hot-spot to the centre of the beam and flatten it as

much as possible.

The projector can operate at 230V voltage, at 50-60Hz . D.T.S. presets a voltage of 230V at

a frequency of 50Hz (barring specific requests).

may be either floor or ceiling mounted.

For floor mounting installations, the is supplied with four rubber mounting feet (B)

on the base. For ceiling mounted installations, we suggest the use of appropriate clamps or

fixings to attach the fixture to the mounting surface.

Two holes situated at the base of the unit allow for the mounting of the unit with C clamps on

trussing.

5.3 -Risk of fire:

5.4 -Ambient temperature:

We recommend the use of a safety cable or chain connected to the 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.

The attachment of the safety chain is accomplished by passing it through the handles as seen

in the figure

The projector contains electric and electronic components which should under no

circumstances come into contact with oil, water or any other liquid. The proper working of

the unit would be compromised should this occur.

Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated position.

Minimum distance from the object being illuminated is 0,5 m.

The projector should never be installed in places that lack a constant flow of air. The ambient

temperature should NOT exceed 35°C.

operates at voltage 230V at 50 or 60Hz. Connect power cable to internal clamp

connector (photo1-2).

Prior to connecting the unit to your mains supply, ensure that the model in your

possessioncorrectly matches the mains supply available. For connection purposes, ensure that

your plug is of a suitable rating of 5A at 230V. Strict adherence to regulatory norms is

strongly recommended.

The use of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker is recommended for each A.R.C..

A good earth connection is essential for the correct operation of the projector.

The unit operates using a digital DMX 512 (1990) signal. Connection between the control

box and the projector or between projectors must be carried out using a two pair screened

ø0.5 mm cable.

Connect the control box signal to the DMX IN internal connector clamp (found at the base of

the unit) and connect it to the next projector by connecting the DMX OUT connector clamp

on the first projector to the DMX IN connector clamp on the second.

In this way, all the projectors are cascade connected.

6.1 -Protection:

7- DMX SIGNAL CONNECTION

NB. If the letters A001 flash on the display the possible causes are:

- No DMX signal

- The DMX address not valid

- There is a DMX reception problem

- The number of channels sent out by the mixer is inferior to 24

If the letters A001 appear on the display without flashing the DMX signal is being received

and is valid.

If you are using a DMX controller with 10 channels per projector set the following addresses

If you are using a DMX controller with 16 channels per projector set the following addresses

The address that has to be set on each projector generally depends on the number of channels that the DMX

mixer allots it.

If you have a 12 channel controller, set your to 10 CH MODE. The first projector will have an A001

address and if you want to select the next projector, then you have to add 12. The subsequent address will

then be A0013

A.R.C.

NB: The A.R.C. Needs a controller with at least 24 DMX channels to function properly.

For the next projector it is sufficient to add

“ 10”

“ 16”

9- CHANGING THE DMX ADDRESS

1) Press the UP-DOWN key until you reach the required DMX number. 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 controlled by the new 512 DMX number.

WARNING: if you press the UP-DOWN keys together the channels are calculated more quickly and you get

a faster selection
