using only a 700 W lamp, giving an exceptional balance between performance and power consumption.
XR2000 BEAM is designed for a wide range of professional applications, like concerts, shows, tours and
big events.XR2000 BEAM ensures in fact great flexibility in use, because in a single projector it
incorporates a range of functions normally available only on different units (long-throw projectors with
high-power lamps, PAR 64 ACL, moving heads).XR2000 BEAM offers:
* Exceptional light power (150,000 Lux at 5 metres);
* The capacity to project a highly condensed and intense beam of light even over great distances, thanks
to the high efficiency of the new lens;
* Variety of colours (linear CMY synthesis + wheel with 7 colours);
* Customizable gobo wheel;
* Insertable linear frost filter (soft edge);
* Fast and uniform Pan and Tilt movements.
The XR2000 BEAM is also the ideal light for a vast range of applications in which quiet operation is a
priority, thanks to its silent ventilation system and silent pan/tilt operation.
The 16 bit Pan/Tilt mechanism features an exclusive Super Speed function, and a locking system with
recessed buttons. Access to every feature of the internal menu is simple and direct, thanks to the new
user interface featuring a LCD backlit graphic display (128 x 64).

8- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY

The XR2000 BEAM with electronic ballast can operate at 90-260 VOLT 50 or 60 Hz.

9- INSTALLATION

XR2000 BEAM may be either floor or ceiling mounted.
For floor mounting installations, the XR2000 BEAM 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 XR2000 BEAM is moving.
Eight 1/4 turn Fast Locks connections placed in the base of the units allow to fix the XR2000 BEAM in
any position, by using the two Fast Lock ‘C’ clamps provided in the box.
.

9.1- Safety cable

We recommend the use of a safety cable or chain connected to the XR2000 BEAM 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.

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.
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
