2. T ransportation
1. Packaging
English
Fire prevention:
1. ProSpot LX utilises a Philips MSD 250W/2. The use of any other lamp is not recommended and will null and void the
fixture’s warranty.
2. Never locate the fixture on any flammable surface.
3. The minimum distance from flammable materials: 0,5 m.
4. The minimum distance from the closest illuminable surface: 2 m.
5. Replace any blown or damaged fuses only with those of identical values. Refer to the schematic diagram if there is any
doubt.
6. Connect the projector to main power via a thermal magnetic circuit br eaker.
Prevention of electric shock:
1. High voltage is present in the internals of the unit. Isolate the projector from mains supply prior to performing any func-
tion, which involves touching the internals of the unit, including lamp replacement.
2. For mains connection, adhere strictly to the guidelines outlined in section 7 of this manual.
3. The level of technology inherent in the ProSpot LX, requires the use of specialised personnel for all service applications;
refer all work to your authorised coemar service centre.
4. A good earth connection is essential for proper functioning of the projector.
Never operate the unit without proper earth connection.
5. The fixture should never be located in an exposed position, or in areas of extreme humidity. A steady supply of circulating
air is essential.
Protection against ultraviolet radiation:
1. Never turn on the lamp if any of the lenses, filters, or the housing is damaged, their respective functions will only operate
efficiently if they are in perfect working order.
2. Never look directly into the lamp when it is operating.
Safety:
1. The projector should always be installed with bolts, clamps, and other fixings, which are suitably rated to support the
weight of the unit.
2. Always use a secondary safety chain of a suitable rating to sustain the weight of the unit in case of the failure of the primary fixing point.
3. The external surfaces of the unit at various points may exceed 80°C. Never handle the unit until at least 10 minutes have
elapsed since the lamp was turned off.
4. Always replace the lamp if any physical damage is evident.
5. Never install the fixture in an enclosed area lacking sufficient airflow; the ambient temperature should not exceed 45°C.
6. A hot lamp may explode. Always wait for at least 10 minutes to elapse after the unit has been turned off prior to attemp-
ting to replace the lamp.
Always wear suitable hand protection when handling lamps.
3. Important safety information
English
ProSpot LX utilises a Philips MSD 250W/2 or equivalent.
The lamp is available from your authorised coemar sales agent:
coemar cod. 105214/1
power 250 w
luminous flux 18.000 lm
colour temperature 8.500° K
lamp base GY 9,5
approximate life 2000 hours
The fixture’s internal temperature can reach 150° C after 5 minutes with a maximum peak of 350° C; ensure that the lamp is
cold prior to attempting removal. The fixture should be allowed to stand and cool for 10 minutes prior to its removal.
The lamps are part of the mercury vapour family of discharge lamps and must be handled with great care. The lamps operate at high pressure, and the slight risk of explosion exists if operated over their recommended lamp life.
We recommend, therefore, that the lamp be replaced within the manufacturer’s specified lamp life.
installing the lamp
1) Using a Philips head screwdriver, remove the 4 screws A located at the front and rear of the projector, which affix the top
cover B, as shown in the diagram below.
2) Remove the housing B.
3) Remove the three thumbscrews C, which hold the lampcover in place, and remove the cover.
Attention
Disconnect mains prior to opening up the unit
4. Lamp: Installation and replacement
English
4) Locate the lampholder D
5) Insert the lamp. The lamp is manufactured from quartz glass and should be handled with care; always adhere to the instructions supplied in the lamp’s packaging. Never touch the glass directly; use the tissue provided in the lamp’s packaging. The GY
9,5 lampholder is asymmetrical in construction, with one lamp pin larger than the other is. DO NOT USE UNDUE FORCE. In
case of difficulty , inspect for physical damage and then repeat the installation procedure.
6) The optimal gap between the lamp and the parabolic
reflector is around 2 to 3 mm. If this is not the case, rotate the two adjusting thumbscrews located at the rear of
the projector as indicated in the section of this manual
entitled “Aligning the lamp in the optical path”.
The lamp must under no circumstances come into
contact with the reflector or other components of
the optical system.
7) Reposition the lamp cover and replace the three screws C previously removed. Replace the housing B and refasten the
four screws A as per the original condition of the ProSpot LX.
Prior to switching on the projector with the new lamp installed, reset the lamp life counter as described in section 11
“Display panel functions”.
We recommend that replacement lamps be realigned in the optical path of the lamp so as to avoid any accidental
overheating of the internal components of the fixture. This procedure is described in the section of this manual entitled
“Aligning the lamp in the optical path”.
English
The projector may operate at 100-115-208, 230 or 245V .at 50 or 60 Hz; coemar presets (barring specific requests), an
operating voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz. The operating voltage and frequency of the projector is noted on the
base of the unit.
If this preset does not correspond with the conditions in your particular country of operation, follow the instructions in the
appropriate section of this manual.
Incorrect frequency and voltage selection will detrimentally affect the operation of the projector.

mounting
ProSpot LX can operate in any mounting position.
The structure from which the unit is hung should be of sufficient
rating to hold the weight of the unit, as should any clamps used to
hang the unit. The structure should also be sufficiently rigid so as to
not move or shake whilst the ProSpot LX moves during its operation.
The two mounting holes Ø13 mm (A) on the base of the ProSpot
LX allows the projector to have hook clamps fitted for the purpose
of hanging.
safety chains
The use of a safety chain fixed to the ProSpot LX and to the primary suspension structure is highly recommended to protect against
the accidental failure, however unlikely, of the primary suspension
point.
If using an aftermarket safety chain not manufactured by coemar,
ensure that it is of a sufficient rating to hold the weight of the unit.
The safety chain is attached by means of the two holes B located in
the base of the unit as shown in the diagram.
movement
The projector has an articulated movement of 530° in the base and 284° through its yoke; DO NOT obstruct the articulated movement in any way.
protection against liquids
The projector contains electric and electronic components that must not come into contact with water, oil, or any liquid.
risk of fire
Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated position. The minimum recommended distance from
flammable material is 0.5m. Minimum distance from the object being illuminated is 2m.
forced ventilation
You will note that the projector’s housing contains several air entry points and fan outlets, positioned both on the head and
the base of the unit; under no circumstances should any of these points be obstructed!
Obstruction of any of these points will result in the over-heating of the unit, detrimentally and seriously affecting the proper
operation of the ProSpot LX.
On this point, refer to section 18 “Electronic motor alignment”, subsection temperature (temp).
6. Installing the unit
English
cable preparation
The mains cable provided is thermally resistant, complying with the most r ecent international standar ds.
NB: In case of cable replacement, similar cable with comparable thermal resistant qualities must be used exclusively (cable
3x1,5 ø external 8 mm, rated 300/500V, tested to 2KV, operating temperature -40° +180°).
mains connection
ProSpot LX can operate at voltages from 208V-230V-240V at 50 or 60Hz (operating voltage and frequency can be selec-
ted as described in section 5 and 16 of this manual). Prior to connecting the unit to your mains supply, ensure that the
model in your possession correctly matches the mains supply available to you.
For connection purposes, ensure your plug is of a suitable rating: 2,1 amps at 245, 230v, 208V and 4,7 at 100 and 115V.
Locate the mains cable, which exits the base of the unit and connect as shown below:
protection
The use of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker is recommended for each ProSpot LX.
A good earth connection is essential for the correct operation of the fixture. Strict adherence to regulatory norms is strongly
recommended.

English
After having followed the preceding steps, turn on the DMX 512 controller which will be used to control the ProSpot LX;
following this, turn on the power to the unit and turn on the unit’s power switch. The projector will perform a reset function on all the internal and external motors. This will last some few seconds, after which it will be subject to the external
signal from the controller.
DMX reception
The display will be static on to indicate that DMX 512 signal is being correctly received.
If the display flashes, the projector is not receiving signal. Check your cabling and the controller for correct functioning.
Software versions
Two software systems operate within the projector, one in the display system
“D”and one in the master system “M”. Upon
startup, the projector’s multifunction display panel will momentarily show readout of the software versions installed in your
projector.
For example, in the ProSpot LX you may see:
D 3.30(display software “D”version 3.30).
M1.22(master software “M”version 1.22.)
9. Powering up

English
Each ProSpot LX utilises16 channels of DMX 512 signal for complete control.
DMX addresses
To ensure that each projector accesses the correct signal, it is necessary to correctly address each fixture. Any number
between 1 and 497 can be generated via the multifunction panel of the ProSpot LX.
This procedure must be carried out on every ProSpot LX being used.
When initially powered up, each projector will show A001 indicating DMX address 1. A projector thus addressed will
respond to channels 1 to 16 from the DMX 512 controller; a second unit should be addressed as 17, a third as 33 and
so on until the final ProSpot LX, has been addressed.
altering the dmx setting
1) Press the + or – buttons until the desired DMX address is displayed. The display will flash to indicate the selected address is not
stored in memory
2) Press the enter button to confirm your selection; the display will stop flashing and the projector will now respond to the
new DMX 512 setting.
3) To better understand the function of each channel, we refer you to 12 “DMX 512 channel functions”.
Important Note: Keeping the + or – buttons pressed will cause the display to alter at increased speed, allowing a faster selection to be effected.

Alignment is necessary to compensate for the slight variations in the mechanical construction of respective lamps due to the
fact that may discharge lamps are still partly constructed manually.
The procedure should be undertaken to properly align the lamp in the optical system, thus avoiding the possible overheating of internal components due to incorrect focusing of the beam onto components which are not designed to be exposed to this.
Alignment procedure
Manipulating the two adjusters A and B contemporaneously effects alignment; with the lamp on and blackout shutter dimmer and no filters placed in the optical path.The procedure flattens the beam to produce and even beamspread
Axial adjustment
Adjuster (A) acts on a lever and spring assembly to position the lamp axially within the reflector.
Rotate the adjuster (A) until the beam produced is flat and even.
Horizontal adjustment
Adjuster (B) acts on a lever and spring assembly to position the lamp horizontally within the reflector. Rotate the adjuster (B)
until the beam produced is as required.
13. Aligning the lamp in the optical system

An encoder system based on 4 position indicators allows the ProSpot LX to return to its correct position if it is accidentally
moved during operation.
This is particularly useful if the projector is to be mounted on the floor in a position where the performer or artist or technician may accidentally bump the unit.
ProSpot LX allows gobos to be replaced via a simple gobo retention spring system. Replacement gobos should be manufactured from either dichroic glass or metal. The coemar reseller network carries a wide range of replacement gobos.
Opening up the projector:
1) Using a Philips head screwdriver, remove the four screws located at both the front and rear of the projector head which
affix the top housing and those for the bottom housing, as shown in the diagram below:
Replacing gobos on the rotating gobo wheel
Gobos may be replace as required to produce special effects as required.
Gobo replacement should always be carried out with the power to the unit shut off and the housing removed as describe
in section 16 “Maintenance”.
1) Rotate the gobo wheel until you locate the gobo you wish to remove.
2) Remove the retaining spring and remove and replace the
gobo.
3) Replace the retaining spring, ensuring that it is seated correctly .

If the operating voltage and frequency as preset by coemar does not correspond to that of the country in which you are operating, you may alter the preset by following the instructions in the paragraphs which follow.
An error in voltage or frequency selection may seriously compromise the correct functioning of the
projector.
16.1 Selecting the voltage on the autotransformer
1) Using a Philips head screwdriver, remove the 6 screws (A) on the lateral cover of the fixture’s base as shown in the dia-
gram below, thereby removing the cover and obtaining access to the internal features of the ProSpot LX base.
2) Locate the autotransformer (B) on the right of the base.
16. Altering the operating voltage and frequency (Reserved for technical staff only)
English
3) Select the operating voltage from the 100, 115, 208, 230 and 245V options by moving the cable n° 7 to the required
voltage. To ensure correct positioning of the cable, refer to the label located on the transformer.
4) If the voltage is altered to either 100 or 115V replace the current fuse rated at 5 Amps T, which is suitable for 208/230/245
V, with a fuse rated at 8 Amps T. The fuse holder is located on the side of the base of the unit. The reverse should be
undertaken if the voltage is being increased to the latter range.
5) Proceed to the selection of the proper frequency, as described in the following section, and then replace the cover and
refasten the screws (A).
16.2Selecting the frequency on the power supply of the ProSpot LX
1) Locate the power supply (A) locate in the base of the unit.
2) Select the required frequency from between 50 and 60Hz by moving cable n° 11 to the correct option. To ensure correct
positioning of the cable, refer to the label located on the power supply.
4) Replace the cover and refasten the screws (A).

Whilst every possible precaution has been taken to ensure the trouble-free operation of your ProSpot LX, the following
periodic maintenance is highly recommended. Prior to undertaking any maintenance procedure, make sure the fixture is
disconnected from mains power.
Opening the housing:
1) Using a Philips head screwdriver, remove the four screws located at both the front and rear of the projector head which
affix the top housing and those for the bottom housing, as shown in the diagram below:
Fuse replacement
Locate the 3 protection fuses:
Two are located on the master circuit board and protect the lamp circuit and the electronics. A third is located externally on
the side of the base of the projector and offers protection to the entire projector.
Use a multimeter to check the condition of the fuses, replacing them with fuses of similar value if required.
Periodic cleaning
Lenses and reflectors
Even a fine layer of dust can reduce the luminous output substantially. Regularly clean all lenses and the reflector using a
soft cotton cloth, dampened with a specialist cleaning solution.
Fans and air passages
The fans and air passages must be cleaned approximately every 6 weeks; the period for this cleaning will depend, of course, upon the conditions in which the projector is operating. Suitable instruments for performing this type of maintenance
are a brush and a common vacuum cleaner or an air compressor.
Periodic maintenance
Lamp
The lamp should be replaced if there is any observable damage or deformation due to heat. This will avoid the danger of
the lamp exploding.
Mechanicals
Periodically check all mechanical devices for wear and tear; gears, guides, belts, etc, replacing them if necessary. Periodically
check the lubrication of all components, particularly the parts subject to high temperatures. If necessary, lubricate with a suitable lubricant, available from your coemar distributor.
Electrical components
Check all electrical components for correct earthing and proper attachment of all connectors, refastening if necessary.
Attention
Disconnect mains power prior to opening the housing!
17. Maintenance
English
The display panel on the ProSpot LX allows for the electronic alignment of the projector’s motors. This procedure is performed by coemar at the factory. It may be useful to perform this procedure in the case of internal components being replaced. Altering the factory settings may radically alter the functioning of the projector. Carefully read all of the following prior
to attempting any changes.
Attention
These procedures should only be carried out by qualified technicians or other specialists
