6.1 Fire prevention:

-It is permissible to place the unit on normally flammable surfaces.
Suitable for mounting on normally flammable materials surfaces greater than 200°C
with some combustion time lag.

-Minimum distance from the objects and the people lit by the light beam: 0,5 m.

-Replace any blown or damaged fuses only with those of identical value (T 8A 250V).
Refer to the wiring diagrams 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.

-The level of technology inherent in the SYNERGY 5 SPOT requires the assistance of
specialised personnel for all servicing. Please refer to an authorised DTS 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 Safety:

-Risk Group 2 product according to EN 62471.
CAUTION. Do not look directly into the light output and do not view the light beam with
optical instruments or any device that may concentrate the beam.
May be harmful to the eyes and skin.

-Do not stare at the operating light source.

-The light source contained in this luminaire shall only be replaced by the
manufacturer or his service agent or a similar qualified person.

-The unit is not for household use and must be installed by a qualified electrician or
experienced person.

-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 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 50°C. Never handle
the unit until at least 5 minutes have elapsed since the unit was turned off.

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

6.4 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 IP20.

Suitable for indoor use only.

6.5 Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive:

- The projector, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly
recycling.
For EC countries: according to the European Directive 2012/19/EU for Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national right,
luminaires that are no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of in
an environmentally correct manner.

6.6 Long-life auto-charging buffer battery:

-The projector contains a rechargeable lead-acid or lithium iron tetraphosphate battery.
To preserve the environment, please dispose the battery at the end of its life according
to the regulation in force.

10

7- 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.

8- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY
SYNERGY 5 SPOT operates at 100-240Vac 50-60 Hz.

11

9- INSTALLATION

The unit is suitable for dry locations only.
SYNERGY 5 SPOT may be either floor or ceiling mounted.
For floor mounting installations, SYNERGY 5 SPOT 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
SYNERGY 5 SPOT is moving.

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

12

9.1- Safety cable

A safety cable must be securely fixed to the SYNERGY 5 SPOT 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 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.

13

!

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

Pan: 540° rotation ; Tilt: 240° rotation.
Do not place any object in the path of the projector’s movement.

9.4- Risk of fire

Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated place.

It is permissible to place the unit on normally flammable surfaces.
Suitable for mounting on normally flammable materials surfaces greater than 200°C
with some combustion time lag.
Minimum distance from the objects and the people lit by the light beam: 0,5 m.

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.

14

!

10- MAINS CONNECTION

SYNERGY 5 SPOT 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 3 amps
at 230Vac or 6,5 amps at 100Vac each unit connected.
Strict adherence to regulatory norms is strongly recommended.

10.1- Protection

The use of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker is recommended for each SYNERGY 5
SPOT.
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 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

16

11.1-DMX Addresses

SYNERGY 5 SPOT can be controlled with 37 DMX channels.
In order to use the unit in 37 DMX channels mode, set the following addresses on the
mixer:

Projector 1 A001
Projector 2 A038 If you want to select the next projector, just add “37”
Projector 3 A075
….. A….
projector 6 A186

11.2-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.
