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 fuses 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 present in the XR8 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.

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 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.

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.

4- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY

The XR8 with electronic ballast can operate at 90-245 VOLT 50 or 60 Hz.
The XR8 with electromagnetic ballast can operate at
On request: 100 V 50-60 Hz /120 V 60 HZ / 208 V 60 Hz

230 V 50-60 Hz(Standard)

5- INSTALLATION

XR8 may be either floor or ceiling mounted.
For floor mounting installations, the XR8 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 hung it. The structure should also be sufficiently rigid so as not to
move or shake whilst the XR8 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.
.

5.1- Safety cable

We recommend the use of a safety cable or chain connected to the XR8 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 to the two holes (A) located on the base of the fixture, as shown in the
picture below.

5.4- 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.

5.5- 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.

5.6- Ambient temperature

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

6- MAINS CONNECTION

XR8 with electronic ballast operate at 90-245 VOLT 50-60 Hz.

SLAVE 1 SLAVE 2

OUT IN

OUT

9.1- Game P

The first unit that will function as a Master must be put in (AUTO) mode, the other projectors have to be
put in slave mode (selectable through the menu). This way all units will be synchronised with the master.
Please note that the projectors must be of the same model.
On the master unit it is possible to vary the speed of the GAME P (SPEE)
NB: It is possible to run GAME P on the other units even though these do not have GAME P programmed.
You can do this by setting the units to the same mode as the master is set before programming GAME P
(16CH DMX) and setting the DMX address to A001.

9.2-Rec Mode

It is possible to program your own game on the XR8 that will then run in AUTO mode (GAME P). Each
unit can have its own programmed game.
In REC mode each projector must be set to the same mode (16CH DMX).
For the programming of GAME P besides the channels necessary to control the unit a further 3 DMX
channels are needed. So that in REC mode if the 16CH mode is selected you will need 19 channels for the
program to work correctly.
Connect the unit to a DMX mixer/controller, every unit should be set to its own Address (See the
paragraph on DMX addresses). The projectors can also be of different models:XR8 Spot/Wash, XR7
Spot/Wash and XR 250 Spot/Wash. When you are in REC mode R.001 appears on the display (DMX
address).

www.carlosmendoza.com.mx - (55) 56 72 85 69

XR 8 WASH

The three new DMX channels are:

-Scene channel

-From 0-255 are displayed the programmable scenes (max 16 scenes M.001 M016)

-View channel:

-From 1-19 the unit runs the scene that has been saved in the unit memory and it is possible to
play through the other scenes using the scene channel.

-From 20-235 the unit runs the configuration given by the received input DMX values. With the
channel scene it is possible to pass from one scene to the next,while with REC it is possible to
record the selected scene.

-From 236-255 the unit runs the configuration given by the received DMX values from the
projector in that moment. It is possible to select a scene and then close the GAME P with the REC
channel.

-Recording channel (REC)

Records the set scene with a variation from 0 to 255 (the display flashes indicating that the scene has

been recorded).
You must keep the REC channel set to 0 and to run through the 255 only once you have decided to save
the scene. If GAME P is not closed, by indicating the last scene, in playback mode all 16 scenes will be
played through even if not programmed.

10- PAN & TILT SPEED (SPEE) (default: 2)

You can set the PAN and TILT motors at high speed on your XR8.
Press menu until you see SPEE.
Press ENTER and select a speed with UP-DOWN (there are 4 speeds). Confirm by pressing ENTER.
When you use speed 4 (the highest) PAN and TILT speed is very high and your projector may loose its
path. In this case, the encoder corrects the position.

11- FAN SPEED (FANS)( default: 12)

Fan speed regulation makes it possible to reduce fan noise. However, the ambient temperature must be
less than 35° C.

15- PERIODIC CLEANING

Photo 1

Photo 2

15.1- Lenses and reflectors

Even a fine layer of dust can substantially reduce the luminous output . Regularly clean all lenses
and the reflector using a soft cotton cloth, dampened with a specialist lens cleaning solution.

15.2- Fans and air passages

The fans and air passages must be cleaned approximately every 6 weeks. This periodic cleaning
will depend of course, on the conditions in which the projector is operating. Suitable instruments
for performing this type of maintenance are a brush and a common vacuum cleaner or an air
compressor. If necessary, clean the fans and air passages more frequently.

16- PERIODIC CONTROLS

Lamp

The lamp should be replaced if there is any visible damage or deformation due to heat. This will
help to avoid the danger of the lamp exploding.

Mechanical parts

Periodically check all mechanical parts, gears, guides, belts, etc. for wear and tear, replacing them
if necessary. Periodically check the lubrication of all components, particularly the parts subject to
high temperatures. If necessary, lubricate with suitable lubricant, available from your D.T.S.
distributor. Check the tension of the belts and adjust it if necessary.

Electrical components

Check all electrical components for correct earthing and proper connection of all connectors;
refasten them if necessary.

Fuse replacement

Locate the fuse, which protects the lamp and electronics, in the base of the XR8.
Using a multimeter, test the condition of the fuse, replacing it with one of equivalent type if
necessary.
