4- TECHNICAL FEATURES

The XR300 BEAM is a new compact moving head with an extremely high light power, projecting a
parallel and very concentrated beam.
With its new optical unit, the XR300 BEAM generates 135.000 Lux at 5 metres, using only a 300 W
lamp, giving an exceptional balance between performance and power consumption.
The XR300 BEAM is designed for a wide range of professional applications, like concerts, shows, tours,
television, theatre, and big events. XR300 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).

The XR300 BEAM features a breakthrough in moving-head technology, dubbed Free Axis Rotation
("FAR"). The FAR system allows limitless pan and tilt rotation: the XR300 BEAM head rotates freely on
its axes, horizontally or vertically, without interruption, in either direction, never having to reverse motion.
The XR300 BEAM's ability to quickly and precisely select any point within its limitless sphere of
movement means faster looks and scene changes.
The XR300 BEAM also offers unmatched creative control to the lighting designer. Unique geometrical
designs, shapes, and scenes, unobtainable with conventional moving heads, are now possible for
application in concerts, theatres, studios, etc.
The FAR system is guaranteed and has been thoroughly tested.
The XR300 BEAM offers:
* Exceptional light power (135.000 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 optical group;
* Variety of colours (CMY synthesis + 7-colour wheel + CTO);
* Customizable gobo wheel (7 rotating gobos);
* Insertable frost filter (soft edge);
* Unlimited Pan and Tilt movements (new FAR technology).
The XR300 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.
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).

The XR300 BEAM with electronic ballast can operate at 90-260 VOLT 50 or 60 Hz.
The XR300 BEAM with Electromagnetic ballast can operate at 230 VOLT 50 or 60 Hz.

9- INSTALLATION

XR300 BEAM may be either floor or ceiling mounted.
For floor mounting installations, the XR300 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 XR300 BEAM is moving.
Eight 1/4 turn Fast Locks connections placed in the base of the units allow to fix the XR300 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 XR300 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.

9.5- 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.

9.6- Ambient temperature

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

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
