asafeoperation,itisabsolutelynecessaryfortheusertofollowthesafetyinstructionsandwarningnoteswritten

in this manual.

Important:

Themanufacturerwillnotaccept liability for any resulting damages causedbythenon-observanceofthismanual

or any unauthorized modification to the device.

Please consider that damages caused by manual modifications to the device are not subject to warranty.

Neverletthepower-cordcome into contact with other cables!Handlethepower-cordandallconnections with the

mains with particular caution!

Always plug in the power plug least. The power-plug has to be accessable after installing the device.

Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the device and the power-

cord from time to time.

Alwaysdisconnectfromthe mains, when thedeviceisnotin use or beforecleaningit.Onlyhandlethe power-cord

by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord.

This device falls under protection class I.Therefore it is essential to connect the yellow/green conductor to earth.

The electric connection, repairs and servicing must be carried out by a qualified employee.

Do not connect this device to a dimmer pack.

Do not switch the fixture on and off in short intervals as this would reduce the lamp’s life.

During the initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise.This is a normal process and does not necessarily

mean that the device is defective.

Donot touch the device’shousingbare hands during its operation (housing becomes hot)!

For replacement use lamps and fuses of same type and rating only.

CAUTION ! EYEDAMAGES !

Avoid looking directly into the light source

(meant especially for epileptics) !

2. Operating determinations

This device was designed for indoor use only.

If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g.after transportation), do not switch it on

immediately.Thearisingcondensationwatermight damage yourdevice.Leavethedeviceswitched off untilithas

reachedroomtemperature.

When taking the device into operation, please make sure that the housing is closed firmly with all the necessary

screwstightenedup.

Never run the device without lamp!

Do not shake the device.Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.

Whenchoosingthe installation-spot, please make sure that the device is not exposedtoextremeheat,moisture

or dust.There should not be any cables lying around.You endanger your own and the safety of others!

The minimum distance between light-output and the illuminated surface must be more than 1 m.

Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture.

Always fix the fixture with an appropriate safety-rope.Fix the safety-rope at the correct holes only.

Onlyoperatethefixtureafterhavingcheckedthatthehousingisfirmlyclosedandallscrewsaretightlyfastened.

The lamp must never be ignited if the objective-lens or any housing-cover is open, as discharge lamps may

explose and emit a high ultraviolet radiation, which may cause burns.

Themaximumambienttemperature

=45°Cmust never be exceeded. Otherwise, the lamp is switched off and

the fixture is out of operation for 5 minutes.

CAUTION!

The lens has to be replaced when it is obviously damaged,

so that its function is impaired, e. g. due to cracks or deep scratches!

Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not

qualifiedforoperatingthe device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!

CAUTION!

The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged

or deformed due to the heat!

Wait at least 15 minutes before remowing the lamp.

Please use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.

Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons!

If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer

damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like short-

circuit, burns, electric shock, burns due to ultraviolet radiation, lamp explosion, crash etc.

4. Installation

4.1Fitting the lamp

DANGER !

Install the lamps with the device switched off only.

Unplug from mains before !

To insert the lamp (HMI 575) open the cover by loosening the fastening screws at the sides of the cover.

Donotinstallalamp with a higher wattage!A lamplikethis generates temperaturesthedeviceisnot designed for.

Damagescausedbynon-observance are not subject to warranty.

Insert the lamp now.Do not touch the glass-bulb with bare hands during the installation! Please follow the lamp

manufacturer‘snotes!

Before you close the cover again, make sure that the lamp is installed tightly into the lampholder system.

Reclose the housing and tighten the fastening screws.

Beforestrikingthelamp,resetthe"LAti"counter in the main menu of the Control Board, by pressing the"+" and

"-" buttons at the same time and then confirming with the Enter-button.

Do not operate this fixture with opened housing-cover!

4.2 Inserting/Exchanging rotating gobos

DANGER!

Install the gobos with the device switched off only.

Unplug from mains before!

If you wish to use other forms and patterns as the standard-gobos, or if the gobos are to be exchanged, remove

the fixation-ring with an appropriate tool. Remove the gobo and insert the new gobo. Press the fixation-ring

together and insert it in the front of the gobo.

CAUTION!

Never unscrew the screws of the rotating gobo

as the ball bearing will otherwise be opened!

4.3 Rigging the fixture

Danger of fire !

When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable

material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min. 0,5 m.

TheVISION 575 can be installed in any position without altering its operation characteristics

Install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Never use the carrying handles for

secondaryattachment.

Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure

to which you are attaching the projectors is secure.

For fixing the projectors use the hole provided in the bracket.The hole in the adjustable mounting bracket has a

diameter of 10 mm.

For overhead use, fit a safety chain or cord.

4.4 Connection to the mains

Connect the fixture to the mains with the enclosed power-plug.

The earth has to be connected!

The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:

Cable Pin International

Brown Live L

Blue Neutral N

Yellow/Green Earth

4.5 DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures

The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise

the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

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.

Occupation of the XLR-connection:

DMX - output DMX-input

XLR mounting-socket: XLR mounting-plug:

IfyouareusingthestandardDMX-controllers,youcanconnecttheDMX-outputofthecontroller directly with the

DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs,

youneedtouseadapter-cables.

Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always

connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.

Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ωresistor

between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
