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 a ø10 bolt with nut and lock washer (version HMI 575) ­two ø12 bolts with nuts and lock washers (version HMI 1200).

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

IMPORTANT: the safety wire must be secured to the projector and to the support-

ing structure in such a way that if the bracket should f ail, the projector will f all as short
a distance as possible.Following any such failure, the safety wire must be replaced
with a genuine Clay Paky spare.

•

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 against the symbol shown alongside.

•

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

ment: 0.1 m (4”) for HMI 1200, 0.07 m (3”) for HMI 575.

The appliance may be mounted on surfaces rated normally inflam­mable.

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).

POWER SUPPLY AND INTERFACE

•

Connecting to the electrical power supply

The operations described in this heading must be carried out by a licensed
electrician.
It is good policy to connect projectors to the power supply by wa y 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 (14) affixed to the rear end.
Check that these two values correspond to the mains voltage and frequency.

IMPORTANT: the projector must be connected to a power supply circuit having
a proper earth system (Class I appliance).

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 it with one of the optional language versions if nec­essary.
Make certain that the label is never removed, as it displays important safety infor­mation.

•

Initial assembly operations (HMI

575 version)

Position the bracket (2) as required and
secure by tightening the knobs (3). The
bracket can also be fitted on the under­side of the projector by removing screws
(4) and knobs (3).

•

Initial assembly operations (HMI

1200 version)

Position block (5) on the projector
body so that it is aligned with the
threaded holes; secure graduated
plate (6) with eyebolt (7) and then fit
knob (3) and washer (8).
Position bracket (2) on graduated plate
(6) at the desired height; inser t bushing
(9), chamfered washer (10) and screw
(11) in the selected hole and tighten
using the supplied Allen key.
The bracket can also be fitted on the
underside of the projector by inverting
the position of graduated plate (6).
If the projector has been shipped with
plate (6) already fitted, before remov­ing the plate (if necessary) remove the
safety bolt located inside the fixture in
correspondence with eyebolt (7).
Set the projector support in the
desired position and secure by tight­ening knobs (3).
Fasten the safety wire (12) of lamp
change cover (13) to graduated plate (6).

•

Fitting the lamp

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

Fitting the safety wire

A safety wire (25) is supplied for use with
version HMI 1200.The wire must be secured
to the gantry or other structure and then
anchored to the eyebolts (7) on the projector
itself.

The connection between controller and projector must be made
using a multicore cable with 8 wires of 0.25mm

section and a

DIN 8 PIN 45° plug/socket connector.

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.
To connect a DMX line, a ter minating plug (15) with a 100Ω resistor wired between
pins 2 and 3 must be fitted to the last projector connected in series; the plug is not
required when using an 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 (16).
Check that the lamp comes on and that the auto-reset sequence starts.

•

Projector address codes (for digital signals)

Each TIGER C.C. projector uses 3 control channels. To ensure that different projec­tors are addressed correctly by the controller, a code must be assigned to each one.
This operation is carried out on each TIGER C.C. by setting the microswitches as
indicated in the table below.

The change of colour in response to
movement of the potentiometer is lin­ear and continuous so that the slider
can be stopped in intermediate posi­tions to obtain a two colour beam.

In the 0% to 50% range of adjustment,
the dimmer opens gradually to maxi­mum aperture. Strobe effect is pro­duced from 54.7% to 95%, with fre­quency increasing from 1 to 7 flashes
per second.
The aperture remains fixed between
95% and 100% of the range.
