2- IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

2.1 Fire prevention:

-XM2500 is fitted with a Philips 1200W MSR/SA lamp.

-Other recommended lamps are: Osram HTI 1200W/SE PP; GE Lighting CSR1200W SA
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 m.

-Minimum distance from the closest illuminable surface: 1 m.

-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.

2.2 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 XM2500 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.

2.3 Protection against ultraviolet radiation:

-Never turn on the lamp if any of the lenses, filters or ABS covering is 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.

2.4 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 chain 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.

2.5 Level of protection against the penetration of solid and liquid matter:

-The projector is classified as an ordinary appliance and its protection level against the penetration of
solid and liquid matter is IP 20. XM2500 uses Philips 1200 MSR/SA lamp with GY 22 socket.
The temperature inside the projector can reach 250° C after just 5 minutes, but it can get as high as
350° C. Always check that the lamp is cold before attempting to remove it. In any case, only open the
unit 10 minutes after it has been turned off

1) Using a screwdriver, remove the 4 screws (A,B, C,D) (photo 1) which fix the lamp holder.

2) Remove the lamp holder assembly (photo2).
Insert the lamp (photo 3).
The lamp used on XM 2500 is made in quartz glass and should be handled with care. Always follow the
instructions supplied in the lamp's packaging. Never touch the glass directly but use the tissue provided
in the lamp's packaging. The GY22 lamp socket is not symmetrical.
DO NOT USE UNDUE FORCE ON THE GLASS. In case of difficulty, read again the instructions and repeat
the procedure.

3) Replace the lamp assembly and tighten the screws (A,B,C,D) which were previously removed (photo

4).

3.1 Lamp alignment:

Attention: we recommend to align the lamp in the optical system to avoid overheating of the dichroic
filters and other components inside the unit.

Alignment is carried out using the 3 adjusters X, Y and Z.
During this operation you must have a uniform luminosity all around the projected area.

4- Voltage and frequency

The XM2500 E.B.(ELECTRONIC BALLAST) can operate at 190-245 VOLT 50 or 60 Hz.

5- Installation

XM2500 may be either floor or ceiling mounted.
For floor mounting installations, the XM2500 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 XM2500 is moving.
Eight quarter-turn fast locks placed on the base of the units allow - by using the two Omega
Clamps provided in the box - to fix the unit in any position.
.

Safety chain

We recommend the use of a safety cable or chain connected to the XM2500 and to the suspension
truss in order to avoid the fixture accidental fall, 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 to the two holes (A) located on the base of the fixture, as shown
in the picture below.

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.

Movement

The projector has a maximum movement of 540° for Pan and 270° for Tilt. DO NOT place any
obstructions in the path of the projector's movement.

Risk of fire

Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated place. The minimum
recommended distance from flammable material is 0.5m.
Minimum distance from the object being illuminated is 2 m.

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.

Ambient temperature

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

6- MAINS CONNECTION

XM2500 operates at 190-245V at 50 or 60Hz.
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 of a suitable rating of 8 amps at 230V.

Strict adherence to regulatory norms is strongly recommended.

Protection

The use of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker is recommended for each XM2500.
A good earth connection is essential for the correct operation of the projector.

7- 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 ø0.5 mm cable and
a CANNON XLR 5 or 3 pole connector.

190-245V 50 / 60Hz

ARC 1200

8

540°

270°

XM 2500 SPOT

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

The standard configuration of the XM2500 is with XLR 5 pins connection.
To convert to an XLR 3 pins configuration proceed as follows:

1) Remove the 4 screws fixing the display cover panel to the unit (photo 1).

2) Remove the screws that fix the XLR connectors to the panel (photo 2).

3) Rotate the electronic card by 180° (photo 3).

4) Place the 3 pins XLR connectors in the special holes and close.

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 in the last unit (DMX out panel connector) of the
DMX line.
