DISCHARGE LAMP WARNING: This fixture is fitted with a discharge
lamp, which is highl y suscepti ble to damage if i mprope rly han dled. N eve r
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, these 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 la mps use a g as sealed in a
high-pressure environment to emit a brilliant output. Du e 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,

Design Spot 575E™

Design Spot 575E™

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
casing burning off from the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over
time.

This device falls under protection-class 1. Therefore it is essential that the device be
grounded properly.

All electrical connections must performed by qualified personal.

Be sure the available voltage matches the voltage requirements of the unit.

Be sure the power cord is neve r crimp ed or d a maged. If t he pow er c ord is dam aged, repl ace
it immediately with a new one of similar power rating.

Always disconnect from main power before performing any type of service or any cleaning
procedure.

Only handle the pow e r co rd by the plug. Never pull ou t the plug by tugging the w ire portio n of
the cord.

instructions.

Safety Regulations

• Disconnect the unit’s main power supply.

• Allow the unit to cool for at least 20 minutes before attempting any type of service.

• Before you put the Design Spot 575E™ into operation be su re al l covers have be en

replaced, otherwise you risk damage to the retina and expose to UV radiation!

• Replace the lamp with an approved r eplacem ent type. B e sure t o follow all the l am p
handleing procedures included with your new lamp. Never handle the new lamp
with your bare hands, th e oi ls fro m you r skin may dam age th e lamp. A lw ays replace
with the lamp with a lamp that meets the orginal lamp specification, failure to do so
may damage the unit and will void your manufactures warranty.

5. Once the lamp has been inserted into the socket, gently slide the socket assembly
back into place and secure with the four retaining screws.

6. Reset the lamp run time in the system menu.

7. Always be sure to optimize the lamp after lamp replacement.

Do not operate this device with open cover

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, and even 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 Design Spot 575E™ lamp holder is aligned at the factory. However, due to slight
imperfections in all lamps, fine adjustments will improve light performance. Please follow the
procedure below for proper lamp optimization:

1. Using either a DMX controller or the control panel on the unit (see “SPOT” in the
fixture menu on page 33), strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface (beam
open, white, no gobo, no effect).

2. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment screws
labeled 1, 2, and 3 as illustrated on the next page. 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.

©Elation Professional® 11

Design Spot 575E™

Design Spot 575E™

3. To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws clockwise a 1/4-turn
at a time until the light is evenly distributed.

4. If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low,
the lamp is too far back in the reflector. "Push” the lamp out by turning each of the
adjustment screws ("1, 2, 3”) counterclockwise turn until the light is bright and evenly
distributed.

Please remember that a MSR 575 SA/2 DE lamp is not a hot-restrike lamp therefore, you
must wait approximately 15 minutes before you can attempt to strike the lamp once it has
been turned off.

7. UNDERSTANDING DMX

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 ex ample; a fi xtu re assi gned a D MX address of 1 may be placed anyw her e 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 contr oller know s to send DA TA assigned to address
1 to that fixture, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation): The
Design Spot 575E™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Design Spot 575E™ is a
24 channel DMX fixture. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the
LCD menu. Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR
connector for data input and data output (Figure below is of a 3-Pin XLR connector). If you
are making your own cables, be sure to use standard two conductor shielded cable (This
cable may be purchased from your Elation dealer or at most professional lighting retailers).
Your cables should be made with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the
cable. A lso, remember that DMX c a bl e must b e da i s y ch ained a nd cannot be split. unl ess yo u
are using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto Branch 4™ or DMX
Branch/4™.

©Elation Professional® 16

Design Spot 575E™

Design Spot 575E™

Be sure to follow the pin configuration chart below when making your own cables. Do not
use the ground lug on t he XLR connec tor. Do not connect the cable’s shield con ducto r 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.

DMX-512 control connection

Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the
other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head (Please refer to the diagram
below.). You can chain multiple moving heads together through serial linking. Always be
sure daisy chain your in and out data connections, never split or “Y” your DMX connections
unless you are using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opt o B ranch 4™ o r DMX
Branch/4™.

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator

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 that is connected
between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR con necto r (DA TA + and DAT A -). This fixture is i nsert ed
in the female XLR conn ector of th e last fixtu re i n your d aisy chain t o ter minate the l ine. Usi ng

©Elation Professional® 17

Design Spot 575E™

Design Spot 575E™

a cable terminator (Elation pa rt number Z-DMX/T) will decr ease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.

Fixture DMX addressing;

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, so the
correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the
channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent
out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by
setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the head of the fixture.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different
address for each individual fixture. Be advised that setting all you fixtures to the same DMX
address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words, changing
the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the
channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of
each fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected
fixture.

In the case of the Design Spot 575E™, which is a 24 channel fixture, you should set the
starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 25 (24 + 1), the third unit to 49
(24 + 25), and so on.

Note: During start-up the Design Spot 575E™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data
signal is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display will show
"A.XXX" (XX X representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a DMX

©Elation Professional® 18

Design Spot 575E™

Design Spot 575E™

signal the display will flash "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address).

If your fixture is connected to a DMX controller and the display is flashing (not receiving a
DMX signal), please check the following:

- The 3 PIN XLR plug (cable w ith DMX sign al fr om cont roller ) is no t conn ected or is not
inserted completely into the DMX input jack.

- The DMX controller is switched off or defective.

- The DMX cable or connector is defective.

- A DMX terminator has been inserted into the last fixture in your DMX chain.

10. OPERATION

Operating Modes: The Power Spot 700CMY™ can operate in three different modes.
This next section will detail the differences in the operating modes.

• Stand alone mode - T he fixtur e will react to s ound, chasing t hroug h the built-i n prog rams.

• 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.

• DM X contro l mode - This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits

with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation® Show Designer 2.

10.1 Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512
controller such as the Elation® DMX Operator II™ or Elation® 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 700CMY™ uses 16 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.

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

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

fixture.

9.2.3 For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX
controller.

9.2 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.

9.2.1 Mount your fixture in a secure and stable manner.

©Elation Professional® 33

Design Spot 575E™

Design Spot 575E™

9.2.2 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.

9.2.3 In the audio submenu choose the audio chase speed, fast or slow. Slow (ASLW)
will trigger the chase seq uence to every two b eats, while fast (AFST ) will trigger th e
chase impulse every beat. See page 16 for more details.

9.2.4 Be sure the Master (MSTR) function is switched “ON,“ and the SVPT function is
switched “OFF.“

9.2.5 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.

9.2.6 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.

9.3 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 fixt ure will act a s the co ntrolling fixture and the others will
react to the controlling fixtures programs. Any fixture can act as a Master or as a Slave.

9.3.1 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 is
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.

9.3.2 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.

more of the motors an err or c ode will flash in t he display in th e fo rm of “XXer” were as XX will
represent a function number. For example, when the display shows “02Er,” it means there is
some type of error with the channel 2 motor. If there are multiple errors during the start-up
process they will all flash in the display. For example: if the fixtures has errors on channel 1,
channel 2, and channel 5 all at the same time, you will see the er ror message “01Er ”, “02Er,”
and ”05Er” flash repeated 5 times.

If an error does occur during the initial start-up procedure the fixture will self-generate a
second reset signal and try to realign all the m otors and cor rect the errors, i f the er ror pe rsist
after a second attempt a third attempt will be made.

If after a third attempt all the errors have not been corrected the fixture will make the
following determinations: 1 ) 3 or mo re er rors - The fi xture ca nnot func tion pro perl y wi th thr ee
or more errors therefore the fixture will place itself in a stand-by mode until subsequent
repairs can be made. 2) Less than 3 errors - The fixture has less than 3 errors, therefore
most other functions will work properly. The fixture will attempt to operate normally until the
errors can be correct by a technician. The errors in question will remain flashing in the
display as a reminder of internal errors.

12. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

1. Be sure all screws and fasten ers a re secu rely tightened at al l tim es. Los e screw s may
fall out during normal op eration resul ting i n da mage or injury as larger parts could f all.

2. There must not be any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware
and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could
allow for UV radiation leakage. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could
cause the unit to fall and serious injure a person.

3. All mechanical parts and motors should not show any traces of serious wear and
should rotate freely.

4. Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or
sediments. Never remove the ground prong from the power cable.

Further instructions depending on installation and usage have to be adhered by a skilled
installer and any safety problems should be addressed before attempting operation.

Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation.

We recommend frequent cleaning of the device, this will ensure operational longevity and
crisp light output. When cleaning, please use a moist, lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol or
solvents.

There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture with the exception of the lamp. Please
refer all other service related issues to an authorized Elation service technician.

Should you decide to service the fixture yourself please order genuine Elation parts directly
from Elation.
