• Maximum ambient temperature

For the fitting to operate well and reliably, the ambient temperature should not exceed
35°C (95°F).

• IP20 protection rating

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

• Protection against electrical shock

This fitting is classified, in accordance with the type of protection against electrical
shock, in Class I. It must therefore be connected to a power supply system with effi­cient earthing.
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.

• Hooking up to the supply mains

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

• Unpacking

Open the cardboard box, take out
the polystyrene wrapping and sepa­rate it, freeing the projector.
Remove the plastic bag from the
projector and position this on a hor­izontal top.

• Packing contents

Besides the projector, the packing also
contains the following accessories:

- Safety rope code 105041/002 (

1).

- Socket for mounting on cable code
030210 (

2).

- This instructions manual
code 099509 (

3).

- Multilingual labels (

4) with safety

information code 081949/004 (located
in the lamp compartment of the
projector).

• Installation

Make sure all the 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 rope, properly hooked onto the fitting and secured to the framework, must
be installed so that, if the primary support system fails, the fitting falls as little as pos­sible. If the safety rope 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 1 metres (3’3”) from
the lens of the projector.

• Minimum distance of flammable materials

The projector must be positioned so that any flammable materials are at least 0.10
metres (4”) from every point on the surface of the fitting.

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

• Maintenance

Before starting any maintenance work or cleaning the projector, cut off power from the
supply mains.
After switching off, do not remove any parts of the fitting for 4 minutes. After this time
the likelihood of the lamp exploding is virtually null. If it is necessary to replace the
lamp, wait for another 15 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.

• 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 100°C (212°F).

• Lamp

The fitting mounts a high-pressure lamp with an external igniter.

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

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

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

• Low Voltage 73/23

• Electromagnetic Compatibility 89/336

• Preparing the warning label

Find the relamping label (5) on the cover of the projector and, if necessary, replace
it with one of the optional multilingual labels (4) in the lamp compartment of the
projector. Read paragraph 5 MAINTENANCE for the instructions on opening the
projector.

CAUTION: Read carefully and meticulously apply the information and instruc­tions given on this label. In addition, check it is never removed as it contains
important safety information.

• Projector mounting

Position the bracket (6) according to the desired angle and lock it with the knobs (7).
The bracket (6) can be height adjusted by using the two holes on the bracket; it can
moreover also be mounted towards the bottom of the fitting.To do this it is necessary
to fully extract the knobs (

7), reposition the bracket (6) in the desired position, put the

knobs (7) back in and tighten them appropriately.

• Fitting the lamp

Refer to the instructions for opening the projector and changing the lamp in paragraph
5 MAINTENANCE.

The connection between the projector and the control unit and between different pro­jectors must be made with cable conforming to the EIA RS-485 specifications: braid­ed, bipolar, shielded, 120Ω of characteristic impedance, 22-24 AWG, low capacity.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a microphone cable or any other cable with different char­acteristics to the ones specified above.

The terminations need to be made with male/female connectors type XLR with 5 pins.
If you use the DMX signal, on the last fitting it is necessary to add a terminal plug (12)
with a resistance of 120Ω (minimum

/

4

W) between the terminals 2 and 3.

If using the RS232/423(PMX) signal, the terminal is not required

• Switching on the projector

After carrying out all the above operations, press the switch (13) checking that the
lamp comes on and the automatic resetting sequence starts.

•Projector coding

Every MINISCAN HPE occupies 7 control channels. For these to be correctly
addressed to each projector it is necessary to code the projectors.
This has to be done on each single MINISCAN HPE, switching the microswitches (

14)

according to the following table. The coding can also be done with the projector
switched off.

• Mains power connection

The projector has to be hooked up to the electricity mains via the socket (2) supplied.
It is advisable for each projector to be connected with its own switch so as to be able
to switch it on and off individually from a distance.

• Selecting the frequency 50/60Hz

Some MINISCAN HPE made to spe­cific requirements are equipped with
a device to quickly adapt the fitting to
the frequency of the electricity mains.
To select the right frequency, open
the top cover, referring to the instruc­tions in paragraph 5 MAINTENANCE
and proceed as follows. Under the
square of the mount of the terminal
block (

9), find the lever (10) of the fre-

quency selector. With the aid of any
tool that can be used on the lever
(10), position it on the desired fre­quency, referring to the label (11).
