4- TECHNICAL FEATURES

The JACK is a high-power, compact, lightweight moving head.
JACK features a wide excursion motorized zoom allowing any application from
long-throw projections to large wall washing.
Beam opening is:
1° - 2,5° 'Beam' projection;
2,5° - 37° 'Spot' projection;
38° - 46° 'Wash' projection.
JACK generates a huge luminosity and extremely uniform projection using only a
189 W lamp; power consumption is just 230W.
Also, JACK comes equipped with the 'FPR' ( 'Free Pan Rotation' - patent pending )
system, which allows limitless pan rotation, in either direction, never having to reverse
motion (Cod. 03.MS012.EBLFP).
JACK is the perfect moving head for rental companies – who want a quick and easy to
install unit – thanks to its compactness and light weight (only 11,9 Kg).
JACK is suitable for any professional applications.

6- IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

6.1 Fire prevention:
JACK uses a MSD Platinum 5R lamp.

The use of any other alternative lamp is not recommended and will null and void the
fixture's warranty.

-Never locate the fixture on any flammable surface.

-Minimum distance from flammable materials: 1 MT.

-Minimum distance from the closest illuminable surface: 2 MT.

-Replace any blown or damaged fuses only with those of identical value.
Refer to the wiring diagram if there is any doubt.

-Connect the projector to mains power via a thermal magnetic circuit breaker.

6.2 Prevention of electric shock:

-High voltage is present inside the unit.
Unplug the unit prior to performing any function which involves touching the inside of
the moving head, including lamp replacement.

-The level of technology inherent in the JACK requires the assistance of specialised
personnel for all servicing. Please refer to an authorised D.T.S. service centre.

-A good earth connection is essential for proper functioning of the projector.

-Never connect the unit without proper earth connection.

-The fixture should be located in places with a good air ventilation.

6.3 Protection against ultraviolet radiation:

-Never turn on the lamp if any of the lenses, filters or ABS covering are damaged.
Their respective shielding functions will only operate efficiently if they are in perfect
working order.

-Never look directly the lamp when it is on.

6.4 Safety:

-The projector should always be installed with bolts, clamps and other tools that are
capable of supporting the weight of the unit.

-Always use a second safety cable to sustain the weight of the unit in case of the
failure of the main fixing point.

-The external surface of the unit, at various points, may exceed 70°C. Never handle
the unit until at least 10 minutes have elapsed since the lamp was turned off.

-Always replace the lamp if any physical damage is evident.

-Never install the fixture in an enclosed area lacking sufficient air flow.
The ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C.

-A hot lamp may explode, so always wait for at least 10 minutes prior to attempting to
replace the lamp.

-Always wear suitable hand protection when handling the lamp.

6.5 Level of protection against the penetration of solid and liquid objects:

-The projector is classified as an ordinary appliance and its protection level against the
penetration of solid and liquid objects is IP 20.
For outdoor use, D.T.S. reccomend the use of the dedicated raincovers.

4) Loose the four screws which fix the lamp (photo 7), unplug the two fast-on cable
connectors (photo 8) and remove the old lamp.

5) Put in place the new lamp and push it toward the three mechanical ends D, E, F
(photo 9) on the lamp support; this let you have the lamp properly aligned on the
optical system.

WARNING:
Never look directly at the lamp when it‟s lit.

8- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY
The JACK with electronic ballast can operate at 90-260 VOLT 50 or 60 Hz.

9- INSTALLATION

JACK may be either floor or ceiling mounted.
For floor mounting installations, the JACK is supplied with four rubber mounting feet
on the base.
For ceiling mounted installations, we reccomend 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
JACK is moving.
Four 1/4 turn Fast Locks connections placed in the base of the unit allow to hang the
JACK by using the Fast Lock “C” clamps provided in the box.

9.1- Safety cable

We recommend the use of a safety cable or chain connected to the JACK and to the
suspension truss in order to avoid the fixture accidentally falling should the main fixing
point fail.
Make sure that the iron cable or chain can bear the weight of the entire unit.
You may attach the safety chain/cord to the attachment point (A) located on the base
of the fixture, as shown in the picture below.

9.2 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.

9.3- Movement

JACK FPR (Cod. 03.MS012.EBLFP) Unlimited Pan rotation; Tilt 270° (1,5 sec.)
JACK (Cod. 03.MS012.EB.L) Pan 540° (2,5 sec.), Tilt 270° (1,5 sec.)
DO NOT place any obstructions in the path of the projector's movement.

WARNING

Do not place any object in the
path of the projector’s
movement

Free Pan Rotation („FPR‟) No „FPR‟

(Cod. 03.MS012.EBLFP) (Cod. 03.MS012.EB.L)

9.4- Risk of fire

Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated place.
The minimum recommended distance from flammable material is 1 MT.

Minimum distance from the object being illuminated is 2 MT.

9.5- 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.

9.6- Ambient temperature

The projector should never be installed in places that lack a constant air flow.
The ambient temperature should NOT exceed 40°C.

10- MAINS CONNECTION

JACK with electronic ballast operate at 90-260 VOLT 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 1,5 amps
at 230 VOLT, or 3 amps at 90 VOLT.
Strict adherence to regulatory norms is strongly recommended.

10.1- Protection

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

!

11- DMX SIGNAL CONNECTION

The unit operates using the digital DMX 512 (1990) 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.

PLACE A 120 OHM RESISTOR BETWEEN PIN 2

AND 3 OF A MALE XRL CONNECTOR AND PLUG IT

INTO THE DMX OUT PANEL CONNECTOR OF THE

LAST UNIT CONNECTED TO THE DMX LINE
