- Projectors operating simultaneously and identically

RS 232/423(PMX) - DMX 512 CONNECTION

Projectors are wired up to the controller and one to the next using two-core screened
cable and Cannon 5 pin XLR type plug/socket connectors.

•

Connecting to the electrical power supply

The operations described in this heading must be carried out by a licensed elec­trician.
The projector must be wired up to the electrical power supply using the special
socket connector provided. It is good policy to connect projectors to the power
supply by way of dedicated switches, so that each can be turned on and off indi­vidually from a remote station.

The projector is designed to operate at the voltage and frequency indicated on the
electrical data plate (4) affixed to the rear end. Check that these two values corre­spond to the mains voltage and frequency.

IMPORT ANT: the projector must be connected to a po wer suppl y circuit ha ving
a proper earth system (Class I appliance).

IMPORTANT: For better and more reliable operation of the projector, the ambient

temperature must not exceed 35° C (95° F). Protection factor IP 20: the appliance is
protected against penetration of solid bodies more than 12mm (0.5”) in diameter (first
digit 2), but can be damaged by spray, jet, drip or rain water (second digit 0).

Initial assembly operations

Position the bracket (2) the desired height and secure by tightening the knobs (3).
The bracket can also be fitted from the underside of the projector.

•

Minimum distance from target objects

The projector must be positioned in such a way
that objects struck by the beam are separated
from the lens at least by the distance indicated on
the lamp change label next to the symbol illustrat­ed alongside.

•

Minimum distance of inflammable materials from any part of the equip-

ment: 0.10 m (4”).

The appliance may be mounted on surfaces rated normally inflammable.

•

Fitting the lamp

Refer to directions for replacement of the lamp given under heading 6 MAINTENANCE.

•

Installing the projector

The projector can be mounted in any position without its operating characteristics
being affected.

IMPORTANT: fix the projector in the desired position utilizing the holes in the brack­et (2). Secure preferably using two ø10 bolts with nuts and lock washers.

Make certain that the anchorage is stable before positioning the projector.

Unpacking

Open the box, remove the projector from the packing and place it on a flat hori­zontal surface. Unpack the standard accessories supplied with the equipment.
Inspect the lamp change label (1) and replace with one of the optional language
versions if necessary.

Make certain that the label is never removed, as it displays important safety
information.

Aligning the beam

Having completed all the operations
indicated thus far, loosen the knobs
(3), manoeuvre the projector on
the bracket (2) until the beam is
directed at centre stage, then
retighten the knobs (3).

•

Projector address codes (for digital signals)

A single MINISCAN utilizes 4 control channels. To ensure that the different projec­tors are addressed correctly by the controller, a code must be assigned to each one .
The operation is carried out on each MINISCAN by setting the dip-switches as
indicated in the table below.

Before positioning the projector, set the channels as shown in the following table:

•

Adjusting the lens

Move the lens (6) back and forw ard until the projected image is satisf actorily f ocused,
then tighten the knob (7).

OPTIONS

T o connect a DMX line , a terminating plug (7) with a 100Ωresistor wired between pins
2 and 3 must be fitted to the last projector connected in series;the plug is not required
when using a RS232/423(PMX) signal.

The wires must not come into contact with each other or with the metal cas­ing of the plug.

The casing of the plug/socket must be connected to the screen and to pin 1 of
the connectors.

Having completed the operations described above, press the on/off switch (5).Check
that the warning light comes on and that the auto-reset sequence starts.

In the 0% to 50% range of adjustment, the
change of colour in response to the move­ment of the potentiometer is linear and
continuous, so that the slider can be
stopped in intermediate positions to obtain
a two colour beam.
From 50% to 100% the wheel rotates con­tinuously with speed increasing steadily
from 0 to 300 rpm.

•

COLOUR WHEEL - channel 1

In the 0% to 30% range of adjustment, the
dimmer opens gradually to maximum aper­ture.
Strobe effect is produced from 30% to

49.7%, with frequency increasing from 1 to
7 flashes per second.
At 50% the aperture is fixed.
The gobo sequence is produced between
60% and 85% of the slider travel, as indi­cated in the diagram.
The aperture remains fixed between 85%
and 100% of the range.

•

GOBO ROTATION /OSCURATORE/STOP/STROBO - channel 2

Setting the TEST switch to the ON position for a few seconds with the projector pow­ered-up, an auto-reset routine is carried out.Leaving the TEST switch at the ON posi­tion for a longer period, a full self-test program will be completed;once the oper ation
has terminated, return the switch to the OFF position.
