9- PAN / TILT LOCK When moving or servicing the unit you can apply the Pan and Tilt lock.

To lock or release the Pan and Tilt refer to the picture below.

10- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY ALCHEMY 5 operates at 100-240Vac 50-60 Hz.

11- INSTALLATION

The unit is suitable for dry locations only. ALCHEMY 5 may be either floor or ceiling mounted. For floor mounting installations, ALCHEMY 5 is supplied with four rubber mounting

feet on the base.

For ceiling mounted installations, we recommend the use of appropriate clamps to fix the unit to the mounting surface.

The supporting structure from which the unit is hung should be capable of bearing the weight of the unit, as should any clamps used to hang it. The structure should also be sufficiently rigid so as not to move or shake whilst the ALCHEMY 5 is moving.

Four 1/4 turn Fast Locks connections placed in the base of the unit allow to hang the ALCHEMY 5 by using two Omega brackets (provided in the box) in conjunction with Aliscaf clamp (available on demand).

11.1- Safety cable

A safety cable must be securely fixed to the ALCHEMY 5 and to the suspension truss in order to avoid the fixture accidentally falling should the main fixing point fail. Make sure that the safety cable or chain can bear the weight of the entire unit. A suitable safety cable (code 0521A038) is available on demand. You may attach the safety cable to the attachment point (A) located on the base of the fixture, as shown in the picture below.

11.2 Protection against liquids

The projector contains electric and electronic components which should under no circumstances come into contact with oil, water or any other liquid. The proper unit functioning would be compromised should this occur.

11.3- Movement

Pan: 540° rotation (3.8 sec.) ; Tilt: 220° rotation (2.1 sec.). Do not place any object in the path of the projector’s movement.

11.4- Risk of fire

Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated place. Minimum distance from the objects and the people lit by the light beam: 0,5 m.

11.5- Forced ventilation

You will note, on inspection, that the unit features various air inlets and cooling fans located on both the base and head of the fixture. These should, under no circumstances, be blocked or obstructed whilst the projector is in operation. Doing so could cause the fixture to seriously overheat thereby compromising its proper operation.

11.6- Ambient temperature

The projector should never be installed in places that lack a constant air flow. The ambient temperature should not exceed 45°C.

12- MAINS CONNECTION

ALCHEMY 5 operates at 100-240Vac 50-60 Hz. Prior to connecting the unit to your mains supply, ensure that the model in your possession correctly matches the mains supply available. For connection purposes, ensure that your plug is capable of supporting 2,5 amps at 230Vac or 5 amps at 100Vac each unit connected. Strict adherence to regulatory norms is strongly recommended.

11.1- Protection

The use of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker is recommended for each ALCHEMY 5. A good earth connection is essential for the correct operation of the projector.

13- DMX SIGNAL CONNECTION

The unit operates using the digital DMX 512 signal. Connection between the mixer and the projector or between projectors must be carried out using a two pair screened ø 0.5 mm cable and a XLR 5 or 3 pins connector. Ensure that the conductors do not touch each other. Do not connect the cable ground to the XLR chassy. The plug housing must be isolated. Connect the mixer signal to the DMX IN projector plug and connect it to the next projector by connecting the DMX OUT plug on the first projector to the DMX IN plug of the second one. This way, all the projectors are cascade connected. NB. If the display showing the DMX address flashes, then one of the following errors has occurred:

- DMX signal not present

- DMX address not valid

- DMX reception problem

For Installations where long distance DMX cable connections are needed, we suggest to use a DMX terminator. The DMX terminator is a male XLR 3-5 pins connector with a 120 ohm resistor between pin 2 and 3. The DMX terminator must be plugged into the last unit (DMX out panel connector) of the DMX line.

PIN 2

13.1-DMX Addresses

ALCHEMY 5 can be used in 4 DMX modes:

1. CCT (Default)

2. Advanced

3. Basic

4. Expo

In order to use the unit in “CCT” mode (20 DMX channels) (Default), set the following addresses on the mixer:

Projector 1 A001 Projector 2 A021 If you want to select the next projector, just add “20” Projector 3 A041 ….. A…. projector 6 A101

13.2-Selecting the DMX address

1) Press the UP-DOWN key until you reach the required DMX channel. The numbers on the display will start to flash (but the new DMX address hasn't yet been set).

2) Press ENTER to confirm your selection. The numbers on the display will stop flashing and the projector is now setted to the new DMX address.

TRICKS: If you keep pushed the UP or DOWN keys, the channels are calculated more quickly and you get a faster selection.

14- Art-Net / sACN SIGNAL CONNECTION

The unit operates using the Art-Net / sACN signal. Connection between the mixer and the projector must be carried out using a category 5 network cable and a standard RJ45 connector.

14.1-Direct Ethernet operation

For direct Ethernet operation connect the mixer Art-Net / sACN signal via Ethernet switch to each unit etherCON RJ45 input connector.

For each unit scroll till NETWORK menu (refer to DISPLAY FUNCTIONS for details):

• Select under INPUT menu “Art-Net” or “sACN” as input control signal.
