8- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY

The XR10 SPOT with electronic ballast can operate at 90-260 VOLT 50 or 60 Hz.

9- INSTALLATION

XR10 SPOT may be either floor or ceiling mounted.
For floor mounting installations, the XR10 SPOT 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 XR10 SPOT is moving.
Four quarter turn fast locks placed on the base of the units, allows by using the two fast lock C clamps
provided in the box, to fix the unit in any position.
.

9.1- Safety cable

We recommend the use of a safety cable connected to the XR10 SPOT 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 can bear the weight of the entire unit.
You may attach the safety cable to the two holes (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.

The XR10 SPOT with electromagnetic ballast can operate at 230 VOLT 50 or 60 Hz (Standard).

On request: 100 V 50-60 Hz /120 V 60 HZ.

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.
In 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.
