4. Installation

4.1 Fitting the lamp

DANGER !

Install the lamps with the device switched off only.

Unplug from mains before !

To insert the lamp PHILIPS MSR 575/2 95 V/575 W GX-9,5 open the small cover at the head’s rear panel (see the

drawing) by loosening the 3 Phillips screws X, Y and Z on the cover.

Gently pull out the lamp assembly.

If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. Insert the lamp to the socket.

Do not install a lamp with a higher wattage! A lamp like this generates temperatures the device is not designed for.

Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty. Please follow the lamp manufacturer‘s notes!

Do not touch the glass-bulb bare-handed during the installation! Make sure that the lamp is installed tightly into

the lampholder system.

Reinsert the lamp assembly and tighten the 3 screws again.

Before striking the lamp, reset the "LAti" counter in the main menu of the Control Board, by pressing the "Up"

and "Down" buttons in one time and then confirming with the Enter-button.

Do not operate this fixture with opened housing-cover!

4.2 Lamp adjustment

The WASH 575 XT lampholder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, fine adjustment may

improve light performance.

Strike the lamp, open the shutter and the iris, set the dimmer intensity onto 100 % and focus the light on a flat

surface (wall). Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment screws "A, B, C”.Turn

one screw at a time to drag the hot-spot diagonally across the projected image. If you cannot detect a hot-spot,

adjust the lamp until the light is even.

To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws "A, B, C” clockwise ¼-turn at a time until the light

is evenly distributed.

If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low, the lamp is too far back in the

reflector. „Push” the lamp out by turning the screws "A, B, C” counterclockwise ¼-turn at a time the light is bright

and evenly distributed.

3 adjustment screws "A,B,C"

4.3 Rigging the fixture

DANGER TO LIFE!

Please consider the respective national norms during the installation!

The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!

The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1

hour without any harming deformation.

The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This

secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the

main attachment fails.

When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under

high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert

before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert

after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled

person once a year.

The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to)

calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation

material and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use

a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and.or damage to property.

The projector has to be installed out of the reach of people.

If the projector shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The

projector must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

Caution: Projectors may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of

a possible installation, do not install the projector!

Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the projector’s

weight.

Danger of fire !

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

material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min. 0,7 m.

CAUTION!

Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss.

Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.

Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss)

to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

The projector can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its

operation characteristics .

For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. You must

only use safety-ropes with screw-on carabines. Pull the safety-rope through the two apertures on the bottom of

the base and over the trussing system etc. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the fixation screw.

Fixation via the omega holders

1.Bolt each clamp (1) to the omega holder (4) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the holder.

2.Fasten the omega holders on the bottom of the base by inserting both quick-lock fasteners (3) into the holes of

the base and tighten fully clockwise.

3.Fasten the safety-rope (2) through the two apertures on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system.

4.4 Connection to the mains

Verify the power supply settings before applying power!

If you wish to change the power supply settings,see the chapter Appendix.

Connect the fixture to the mains with the enclosed power cord and plug.

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

Light blue White Neutral N

Yellow/Green Green Earth

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:

If you are using the standard DMX-controllers, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly with the

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

you need to 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 Ωresistor

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