CLAY PAKY S.p.A. disclaims all liability for damage to the fitting or to other property or persons deriving from installation, use and maintenance that have not been carried out in conformity with this instruction manual, which must always accompany the fitting. CLAY PAKY S.p.A. reserves the right to modify the characteristics stated in this instruction manual at any time and without prior notice.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Installation

Make sure all parts for fixing the projector are in a good state of repair. Make sure the point of anchorage is stable before positioning the projector. The safety chain must be properly hooked onto the fitting and secured to the framework, so that, if the primary support system fails, the fitting falls as little as possible. If the safety chain gets used, it needs to be replaced with a genuine spare.

• Minimum distance of illuminated objects

The projector needs to be positioned so that the objects hit by the beam of light are at least 3 metres (9’ 10”) from the lens of the projector.

• Minimum distance from flammable materials

The projector must be positioned so that any flammable materials are at least 0.20 metres (8") from every point on the surface of the fitting.

• Mounting surfaces

It is permissible to mount the fitting on normally flammable surfaces.

• Maximum ambient temperature

Do not operate the fixture if the ambient temperature (Ta) exceeds 40° C (104° F).

IP20

• IP20 protection rating

The fitting is protected against penetration by solid bodies of over 12mm (0.47”) in diameter (first digit 2), but not against dripping water, rain, splashes or jets of water (second digit 0).

• Protection against electrical shock

Connection must be made to a power supply system fitted with efficient earthing (Class I appliance according to standard EN 60598-1). It is, moreover, recommended to protect the supply lines of the projectors from indirect contact and/or shorting to earth by using appropriately sized residual current devices.

• Connection to mains supply

Connection to the electricity mains must be carried out by a qualified electrical installer. Check that the mains frequency and voltage correspond to those for which the projector is designed as given on the electrical data label. This label also gives the input power to which you need to refer to evaluate the maximum number of fittings to connect to the electricity line, in order to avoid overloading.

• Temperature of the external surface

The maximum temperature that can be reached on the external surface of the fitting, in a thermally steady state, is 150°C (302°F).

• Maintenance

Before starting any maintenance work or cleaning the projector, cut off power from the mains supply. After switching off, do not remove any parts of the fitting for at least 10 minutes. After this time the likelihood of the lamp exploding is virtually nill. If it is necessary to replace the lamp, wait for another 20 minutes to avoid getting burnt. The fitting is designed to hold in any splinters produced by a lamp exploding. The lenses must be mounted and, if visibly damaged, they have to be replaced with genuine spares.

ALPHA WASH 700

• Lamp

The fitting mounts a high-pressure lamp that needs an external igniter. This igniter is fitted onto the apparatus.

- Carefully read the "operating instructions" provided by the lamp manufacturer.

- Immediately replace the lamp if damaged or deformed by heat.

• Battery

This product contains a rechargeable lead-acid battery. To preserve the environment, please dispose the battery at the end of its life according to the regulation in force. Instructions on how to remove the battery from the product are available on www.claypaky.it

The products referred to in this manual conform to the European Community Directives to which they are subject:

INSTALLATION AND START-UP

Installing the projector - Fig. 4

The projector can be installed on the floor resting on special rubber feet, on a truss or on the ceiling or wall.

WARNING: with the exception of when the projector is positioned on the floor, the safety cable must be fitted. (Cod. 105041/003 available on request). This must be securely fixed to the support structure of the projector and then connected to the fixing point at the centre of the base.

Connecting to the control signal line (DMX) - Fig. 7 Use a cable conforming to specifications EIA RS-485: 2-pole twisted, shielded, 120Ohm characteristic impedance, 22-24 AWG, low capacity. Do not use microphone cable or other cable with characteristics differing from those specified. The end connections must be made using XLR type 3 or 5-pin male/female connectors. A terminating plug must be inserted into the last projector with a resistance of 120Ohm (minimum 1/4 W) between terminals 2 and 3. IMPORTANT: The wires must not make contact with each other or with the metal casing of the connectors. The casing itself must be connected to the shield braid and to pin 1 of the connectors.

Switching on the projector - Fig. 8 Press the switch. The projector starts resetting the effects. At the same time, the following information scrolls on the display:

On conclusion of resetting in case of absence of the dmx signal, Pan and Tilt move to the “Home” position (Pan 50% - Tilt 50%). The control panel (Fig. 8) has a display and buttons for the complete programming and management of the projector menu. The display can be in one of two conditions: rest status and setting status. When it is in the rest status, the display shows the projector’s DMX address and the Fixture ID address (if set). During menu setting status, after a wait time (about 30 seconds) without any key having been pressed, the display automatically returns to rest status. It should be noted than when this condition occurs, any possible value that has been modified but not yet confirmed with the

key will be cancelled.
