DISCHARGE LAMP WARNING:

lamp, which is highly susceptible to damage if improperly handled.

Never touch the lamp with your bare hands, as the oil from your hands

will shorten lamp life. Also, never move the fixture until the lamps have

had ample time to cool. Remember, lamps are not covered under

warranty conditions.

This fixture emits intense UV radiation, which is harmful to the eyes and skin. The intense

luminance of the lamp can cause severe damage to the retina. Never operate this fixture

with the protective covers removed, thes e covers have been specially designed to shield

against UV radiation.

Epileptic Warning: Those suffering from epilepsy should avoid looking directly into the

lamp at all times.

Avoid switching the fixture on and off repeatedly in short intervals, as this will reduce lamp

life and intensity.

To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these lamps use a gas sealed

This fixture is fitted with a discharge

in a high-pressure environment to emit a brilliant output. Due to the high pressure involved

with the construction of the lamp, the lamp may explode during prolonged extensive use.

This risk is increased with age; added care is encouraged when dealing with older lamps.

Thus, lamp should always be replaced at the end of their recommended duty cycle.

Extreme caution should be used when operated this or any fixture fitted with a gas

discharge lamp.

Never open this fixture while in use!

During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the interior

of the fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the

2. Preparation and Installation

2.1 Mounting

The POWER SPOT 250™ is fully operational in two different mounting positions,

hanging upside from a ceiling or set on a flat level surface. To avoid internal

damage to the unit, never mount the unit on its side as illustrated below. Be sure

this fixture is kept at least 0.5m away from any flammable materials (decoration

etc.). Install a safety cable that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.

Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.

Refer to regulations BGV C1 (formerly VBG 70) and DIN VDE

0711-217 for proper installation in Europe

To ensure proper installation, only qualified staff should attempt

installation.

2.1.1 Clamps

The POWER SPOT 250™ has been designed to hold multiple clamps to the

bottom of the unit in several different orientations. Always use an appropriately

rated clamp to mount this unit to truss. Refer to the printed instructions on the

bottom of the fixture for proper clamp installation.

©Elation Professionals® Los Angeles, Ca. - wwww.ElationLighting.com - Page 11

Power Spot 250™

2.1.2 Mounting plate

For a permanent installation of the POWER SPOT 250™ in a non-truss

installation you may use the optional mounting plate (secured to the bottom of

the fixture) to secure the fixture to a ceiling. The plate accepts four M6x20

screws.

2.2 Secure the POWER SPOT 250™

Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your POWER SPOT 250™ always

be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable. The fixture provides a built-in

rigging point for a safety cable on the underside of the fixture, be sure to use this

point and never secure a safety cable to a carrying handle.

2.3 Connections

2.3.1 Power supply

115v ~ 50/60Hz AC (America’s),

Connected load 500W <=> 4.4 A (blind current compensation)

or 230V ~ 50Hz AC (EU),

Connected load 500W <=> 2.2 A (blind current compensation)

Operating voltage is pre-selected at the factory and is not user selectable.

Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure your

fixture voltage matches that of the outlet. The voltage requirements for the

fixture are clearly printed on the side panel near the power cord.

2.3.2 DMX-512

3-Pin XLR Input/Output. [+] = Pin 3 / [-] = Pin 2 / [Ground] = Pin 1

2.4 DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by

most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between

intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions

from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent out as serial data that travels from

fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX

fixtures (most controllers only have a DATA “OUT” terminals). DMX Linking: DMX is a

language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked

together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the

controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when

using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in

which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing.

For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a

DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. Therefore, the first

fixture controlled by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. When a fixture

is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned

to address 1 to that fixture, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

2.5 Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation):

The POWER SPOT 250™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The POWER

SPOT 250™ is a 15 channel DMX fixture. The DMX address is set electronically

©Elation Professionals® Los Angeles, Ca. - wwww.ElationLighting.com - Page 13

Power Spot 250™

using the controls on the side panel of the fixture. Your fixture and your DMX

controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output

(Figure Below). If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard two

conductor shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all professional

sound and lighting stores). Your cables should be made with a male and female

XLR connector on either end of the cable. Also remember that DMX cable mus t be

daisy chained and can not be split.

2.6 Notice: Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not

use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield

conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the

XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic

behavior.

2.7 Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you

may need to use a terminator on the last fixture to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator

is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a

male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This fixture is inserted in the female XLR

connector of the last fixture in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable

terminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic

behavior.

©Elation Professionals® Los Angeles, Ca. - wwww.ElationLighting.com - Page 14

Power Spot 250™

2.8 5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors

for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a

3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line

a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric

stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

2.9 Fuse Requirements

The POWER SPOT 250’s electronic system is protected by a 5x20 mm external fuse.

115V / T 6.3A (US model) or 230V / T 3.15A (EU model).

The fuse requirements are clearly printed on the side of the fixture.

WARNING:

• Always disconnect main power before changing the fuse!

• Always replace with the exact same type fuse unless otherwise specified by

an authorized Elation® service technician. Replacing with anything other than

the specified part can severely damage your fixture and will void your

manufactures warranty.

2.10 Transportation and Handling

The POWER SPOT 250™ comes with two carrying handles built into the base. Always

transport the fixture by these handles. Never lift or carry the POWER SPOT 250™ by

the yoke (head assembly) this can seriously damage the unit.

RsER

This message appears if you try to switch on the lamp within 5 minutes after having switched off (lamp too hot). The message will appear on the display if the lamp doesn’t ignite within 20 seconds. The fixture will store this command and automatically ignite the lamp after 5 minutes.

After the ignition of the lamp was two times not successful the display will show LAER. That means the lamp could be damaged or even missed, the fixture is overheating or there could be a failure on the igniter or ballast. Switch off the power supply and solve the possible problem.

This error message informs you that the fixture was overheating and that the relay switches off the lamp. Pleas look for possible reasons (fan faulty, air in/outlets blocked or very dirty, lamp broken or very old, too high ambient temperature. Switch off the power supply and solve the possible problem.

This message informs you that one of the fixture function wasn’t able to do its reset correct (magnetic sensor, stepping motor, driver on the PCB, cables, etc.). Repair the defect and start the fixture again.

4. Operation

Operating Modes: The Power Spot 250™ can operate in three different modes. This next section will detail the differences in the operating modes.

• Stand alone mode - The fixture will react to sound, chasing through the built-in programs.

• Master/Slave mode - You can daisy chain up to 16 fixtures together to get a synchronized

light show without the need of an external controller. The fixtures will react to sound chasing to synchronized light show.

• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the LSC

4.1 Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512

® Show Designer 2.

controller such as the LSC® DMX Operator II™ or LSC® Show Designer 2™ to control

head movement, the color wheel, the shutter (strobe), and all other DMX traits. A DMX

controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs. The

Power Spot 250™ uses 15 DMX channels. See page 27 for detailed description of the

DMX traits.To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures on pages

13-15 as well as the set-up specifications that are included with your DMX controller.

Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.This will allow you

to create your own programs.

4.1.1 Follow the instruction on page 18 to set the DMX address.

4.2.2 For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) be sure to use a terminator on the

last fixture.

4.2.3 For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX

controller.

4.2 Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active): This mode allows a single fixture to run to

the beat of the music. Only use this mode when running a single fixture, or when

running several fixtures as individuals.

4.2.1 Mount your fixture in a secure and stable manner.

4.2.2 Access the main menu and select the AUDI function, this will give you access to

the audio submenu. See page 16 for the menu breakdown.

©Elation Professionals® Los Angeles, Ca. - wwww.ElationLighting.com - Page 27

Power Spot 250™

4.2.3 In the audio submenu choose the audio chase speed, fast or slow. Slow (ASLW)

will trigger the chase sequence to every two beats, while fast (AFST) will trigger

the chase impulse every beat. See page 16 for more details.

4.2.4 Be sure the Master (MSTR) function is switched “ON,“ and the SVPT function i s

switched “OFF.“

4.2.5 Choose your room size. The size function allows you to choose a the approximate

size of the room (NORM, BIG, MIDL, SMAL). The built-in programs will

automatically adjust to your slection to optimize light output for your room.

4.2.6 Use the sound sensitivity knob on the side control panel to make the unit more or

less sensative to sound. Turning the knob in clockwise direction will make the

unit more sensetive to sound, while turning the knob counter-clockwise will make

the unit less sensetive to sound. Note: This unit will react to the low frequiencies

of a sound source, tapping on the fixture or high pitched sound may not trigger the

fixture.

4.3 Master-Slave Operation (Sound Active): This function will allow you to link up to 16

fixtures together and operate without a controller. The fixtures will be sound activated.

In Master-Slave operation one fixture will act as the controlling fixture and the others

will react to the controlling fixtures programs. Any fixture can act as a Master or as a

Slave.

4.3.1 Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your fixtures together via the

XLR connector on the rear of the fixtures. Remember the Male XLR connector i s

the input and the Female XLR connector is the output. The first fixture in the chain

(master) will use the female XLR connector only - The last fixture in the chain will

use the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator

at the last fixture.

4.3.2 Follow the same procedures listed in the previous Stand-Alone section. With two

exceptions; Be sure the first unit in the chain is selected as the “master“ (MSTR)

is turned on in the audio submenu. All other fixtures must be in “slave“ mode

(SVPT) turned on in the audio submenu.

lens. The optimum distance between the lamp and the lens is between 1.0-1.5

mm. Use the optimization screws located on the outer socket casing marked [A]

to make this adjustment.

6.2.7 Reassemple the unit in reverse order.

6.2.8 Besure to reset the lamp running time (see page 19).

6.2.9 Follow the procedures in the next section to properly optimize the lamp.

Attention:

Be sure the lamp is securely seated in the lamp socket. Also pay close

attention to the lamp orientation, optimum distance between the lamp and

the lens should range between 1.0 - 1.5 mm. Failure to comply with this

warning may cause excessive heat build-up that may cause the internal

lens to crack.

6.3 Lamp Optimization

The lamp orientation and optimization must be adjusted after every lamp change. This

procedure centers the lamp in the reflector. Proper optimization will increase lamp life and

ensure a bright crisp output. Improper optimization may add a yellow tint to the lamp output

and reduce intensity. The minimum deviation amount is 1.0mm. Running the fixture within

a lower deviation can cause damage to the lamp and/or lens.

The POWER SPOT 250™ lamp holder is aligned at the factory. However, due to slight

imperfections in all lamps, fine adjustments may improve light performance. Please follow

the procedures below to properly fine-tune the lamp orientation:

Power Spot 250™

6.3.1 Strike the lamp (through the internal menu functions or with a DMX controller) and

wait a while until full intensity of the lamp.

6.3.2 Using either a DMX controller or the control panel on the unit, strike the lamp and

focus the light on a flat surface.(beam open, white, no gobo, no effects).

6.3.3 Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment

screws. Turn one screw at a time to drag the hot-spot diagonally across the

projected image. If you cannot detect a hot-spot, adjust the lamp until the light is

even.

6.3.4 To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws clockwise 1/4-

turn at a time until the light is evenly distributed.

6.3.5 If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output i s

low, the lamp is too far back in the reflector. “Push” the lamp out by turning the

screws

NOTICE: Be sure the minimum distance between the lamp and lens is at least 1.0mm. If

the distance between the lamp and lens is less then 1.0mm, the lens may shatter due to

excessive heat built-up.

7. Fuse Replacement

Caution: Always replace with the exact same type fuse, unless otherwise specified by an

authorized Elation® service technician. Replacing with anything other than the specified part

can damage your unit and will void your manufactures warranty.

Warning: If you continue to blow fuses, STOP using the fixture. Contact customer support

for further instructions, you may have to return the unit for servicing. Continuing to use the

unit may cause serious damage.

Fuse Replacement: Locate and remove the unit’s power cord from the main power supply.

9. Maintenance and Cleaning the POWER SPOT 250™

It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and dust, dirt and smoke-fluid

residues do not built-up on the surface or within the fixture. Otherwise the fixture's light

output could be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum

light output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliable throughout its life.

A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended,

under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used!

The inside optical system should be maintained only by authorized persons. Please

contact Elation professionals for recommendation associated with internal cleaning

procedures.

9.1 Safety Regulations

• Always disconnect main power before attempting any service related issues!

• Allow ample time for the lamp to cool (at least 20 minutes) before performing any

cleaning procedures.

• Never attempt operation with any of the protective covers removed!

9.2 Cleaning Frequency (rule-of-thumb)

The contamination of the fixture depends on the environment details. Therefore no

general guidelines can be given. From this it follows that the intervals are only

suggestions from our practice experience.

Position Interval In this way

Outside optic Weekly Soft cloth and glass cleaner

Color filter Monthly Soft cloth and glass cleaner

Gobos Yearly Vacuum cleaner, airbrush, etc.

Glass gobos Monthly Soft cloth and glass cleaner

Prism Monthly Soft cloth and glass cleaner

Dimmer/Shutter Yearly Vacuum cleaner, airbrush, etc.

Inside lens Monthly Soft cloth no glass cleaner

Fan and air channel Monthly Vacuum cleaner, airbrush, etc.

Reflector Never

Lamp Never

Moveable parts Yearly Suitable Lubricant

The above chart is a recommended cleaning schedule only. Cleaning frequency

Power Spot 250™

depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (I.E. smoke, fog residue,

dust, dew). In clubs that observe heavier use, we recommend cleaning on a more

frequent basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure fixture longevity and crisp lamp output.

Attention:

1. Never allow optical parts come into contact with oil, dirt, or grime.

2. Allow all parts to dry completely before attempt operation.

3. Never clean the aspheric lens with water or other cleaners. The lens

should be changed at the first sign of ware, usually in about 1 – 2 years (lens will begin to look cloudy). For lens replacement please contact Elation technical support.

9.3 Cleaning the Optical System (recommended for authorized personal only)

9.3.1 Always disconnect main power before attempting any service related

issues!

9.3.2 Allow ample time for the lamp to cool (at least 20 minutes) before

performing any cleaning procedures.

9.3.3 Open and remove the upper half of the projector by loosening the 4 retaining

Phillips screws. Two located on the front and 2 located on the rear of the

head.

9.3.4 Follow the chart above to complete the service procedures.

9.3.5 Replace the shell and tighten the 4 retaining screws.
