6- IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

6.1 Fire prevention:

XR1200 WASH uses a Philips MSR Gold 1200 Fastfit 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 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.

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 present in the XR1200 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.

2M

6.3 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.

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 matter:

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

• Raincover for XR1200 base (top) (cod. 03.MA009)

• Raincover for XR1200 base (bottom) (cod. 03.MA010)

2) Insert the lamp (photo2).

3)Rotate the lamp 1/4 turn clockwise (photo 3 and 4).
The lamp used on XR1200 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 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.

4) Replace the metal cover and tighten the screws A,B,C, which where previously removed.
WARNING: Never look directly at the lamp when it’s lit.
Discharge lamps emits UV rays; radiation from this lamp can cause damage to eyes and skin.

7.1 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. The lamp alignment is also essential to obtain the
maximum unifirmity and luminous performance by the projection.

1) Mount the fixture in an orientation so that it may be squarely projected onto a smooth white surface
no less than 3 meters away. 2) Using a console or the menu system, focus an open (white) beam onto
the surface and observe the beam. 3) Using a phillips-head screw driver, rotate the

8- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY

The XR1200 with electronic ballast can operate at 90-260 VOLT 50 or 60 Hz.

9- INSTALLATION

XR1200 may be either floor or ceiling mounted.
For floor mounting installations, the XR1200 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 XR1200 is moving.
Eight 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 or chain connected to the XR1200 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.

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.
