IMPORTANT: the safety wire must be secured to the projector and to the supporting
structure in such a way that if the bracket should fail, the projector will fall 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 equipment:

0.10 m (4”) for HMI 1200, 0.07 m (3”) for HMI 575.

The projector 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).

Fasten the safety wire (11) of lamp change cover (12) to graduated plate (3).

•

Fitting the lamp

Refer to directions for replacement of the lamp given under heading 7 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 (7). Secure preferably using two ø12 bolts with nuts and lock washers.

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

•

Fitting the safety wire

A safety wire (15) is supplied for
use with the HMI 1200 version.The
wire must be secured to the gantry
or other structure and then
anchored to the eyebolts (4) on the
projector itself.

•

Initial assembly operations

Position block (2) on the projector
body so that it is aligned with the
threaded holes; secure graduated
plate (3) with eyebolt (4) and then fit
knob (5) and washer (6).
Position bracket (7) on graduated
plate (3) at the desired height; inser t
bushing (8), chamfered washer (9)
and screw (10) in the selected hole
and tighten using the supplied Allen
key.
The bracket (7) can also be fitted on
the underside of the projector by
inverting the position of graduated
plate (3).
If the projector has been shipped
with plate (3) already fitted, before
removing the plate (if necessary)
remove the safety bolt located inside
the fixture in correspondence with
eyebolt (4).
Set the projector support in the
desired position and secure by tight­ening knobs (5).

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.

•

Unpacking

Open the box, take out the mirror head, posi­tion it on a horizontal surface and remove the
elastic transit bands (16) from the tilt motor.

•

Fitting the mirror head

Fit the mirror head (17) to the projector and secure with the three knobs (18).
Connect the mirror head plug (19) to the socket (20) located on the front of the
projector.

Connect the metal safety wire (21) to the tag (22) on the projector.

The projector is designed to operate at the voltage and frequency indicated on the
electrical data plate (23) 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).

•

Connecting the control signals

0-10V CONNECTION

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

2

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 terminating plug (24) 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 (25).
Check that the lamp comes on and that the auto-reset sequence starts.

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 operation
has terminated, return the switch to the OFF position.

Projector address codes (for digital signals)

Each TIGER SCAN projector uses 6 control channels.To ensure that different pro­jectors are addressed correctly by the controller, a code must be assigned to each
one.This operation is carr ied out on each TIGER SCAN by setting the microswitch­es as indicated in the table below.
