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.

Onlyoperatethe fixture after havingcheckedthat the housingisfirmlyclosed and allscrewsaretightly fastened.

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.

Themaximumambient temperature

=45° C must never beexceeded.Otherwise, the lamp is switchedoffand

the fixture is out of operation for 5 minutes.

CAUTION!

Thelens hasto bereplaced whenit isobviously damaged,

sothat itsfunction isimpaired, e.g. dueto cracksordeepscratches!

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

qualifiedforoperatingthe device. Most damagesaretheresult of unprofessional operation!

CAUTION!

Thelamp hasto bereplaced whenit isdamaged

ordeformed due tothe heat!

Wait at least 15 minutes before remowing the lamp.

4. Installation

4.1Fitting the lamp

DANGER!

Installthe lampswith thedeviceswitchedoff only.

Unplugfrom mainsbefore !

To insert the lamp (Osram HMI 1200W) open the cover by loosening the fastening screws at the sides of the

cover.

Donotinstall alampwith ahigherwattage!Alamp likethis generatestemperaturesthe deviceisnotdesigned for.

Damagescausedbynon-observanceare not subject towarranty.

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.

Before striking the lamp, reset the "LAti"and "LASt" counters in the "INFO" menu of the control board, by

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

Donot operatethis fixturewithopenedhousing-cover!

4.2 Inserting/Exchanging rotating gobos

DANGER!

Installthe goboswith thedeviceswitchedoff only.

Unplugfrommainsbefore!

Open the cover by loosening the fastening screws at the sides of the cover.

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!

Neverunscrew thescrews oftherotatinggobo

asthe ballbearing willotherwise beopened!

4.3 Rigging the fixture

Dangerof fire !

Wheninstalling thedevice,makesurethere isno highlyinflammable

material(decoration articles,etc.) inbetween adistance of min.1,0 m.

The SCAN 1200 XT 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.

Makesure thatthedevice isfixed properly!Ensure thatthestructure

towhich youare attachingthe projectorsis 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

Verifythe powersupplysettingsbeforeapplyingpower!

Connect the scanner to the mains with the enclosed power plug.If you need to install other power plug on the

powercable,followtheidentificationtablebelow.

The earth has to be connected!

The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:

Cable (EU) Cable (US) Pin International

Brown Black Live L

Lightblue White Neutral N

Yellow/Green Green Earth

Donot connectthescanner toadimmer system!

Both the transformer and the ballast must be connected correctly for the local AC voltage and frequency.

Thewrongsettingscan cause poor performanceordemageof the moving head.The factorysettingsareprinted

on the front panel of the scanner.

If you want to change the power supply settings,follow the instructions:

1.Disconectthe scanner fromACpower.Remove thesmallvoltage/frequencyselectionpanel onthefront scanner

panel by loosening the 2 screws.

2.Move the wires on the transformer/ballast connection block to the desired position:

Transformerterminals

Ballast terminals

Master/slave operation

Controller operation

4.5 DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures

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:

Ifyou are usingthestandard DMX-controllers, youcanconnectthe DMX-output ofthecontroller directly withthe

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

youneedto use adapter-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 Wresistor

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

Building a master/slave-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the master fixture in the data-chain with the DMX-input of the first slave. Always

connect output with the input of the next slave until all slaves are connected (up to 9 fixtures).

Caution:It’snecessarytoinsertthe XLR termination plug(with120 Ohm) into the inputofthe master fixture and

into the output of the last slave fixture in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.
