installation via the Omega holders

Screw one clamp each via a M12 screw and nut onto the Omega holders.
Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first Omega holder into the respective holes on the bottom of the device .
Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise. Install the second Omega holder.
Pull the safety-rope through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system or a safe fixation
spot. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the safety screw.

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. You can chain multiple
Moving head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable
with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.

7 DESIGN WASH 250 USER MANUAL V1.0 NR

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator

For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy
environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in
preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply
an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the
output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.

Address 33 address 17 address 1

Projector DMX start address selection

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct
fixture responds to the correct control signals. 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 address is achieved by setting the correct number on the display located
on the base of the device.

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or make different address
for each fixture individually.

If you set the same address, all the units will start to “listen” to the same control signal from the same
channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures
simultaneously.

8 DESIGN WASH 250 USER MANUAL V1.0 NR

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

In the case of the spot head, which is a 16 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the first
unit to 1, the second unit to 17 (16+ 1), the third to 33 (17 + 16), and so on.

Note:

The modes of DMX 512 data and lamp are shown via the display:

.. .

.

DMX OK

Lamp on

1. After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If the data is

received, the the display will show "A.001" with the actually set address. If there is no data received at the
DMX-input, the display will flash "A001" with the actually set address.

This situation can occur if:

- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the device.

- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the
input connector.

It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.

2. If the lamp is on, the the display will show "A00.1" with the actually set address. If the lamp is off, the the display
will show "A001" with the actually set address.

ERROR MESSAGE

When you turn on the fixture, it will make a reset first. The display may show “XXer” while there are problems with
one or more channels. “XX” stands for channel 1,5,6,8,9 who has the testing sensor for positioning .
For example, when the display shows “01Er”, it means there is some error in channel 1. If there are some errors on
channel 1, channel 5, channel 6 at the same time, you may see the error message “01Er”, “05Er”,”06Er” flash
repeated for 5 times, and then the fixture will generate a reset signal, all the stepper reset. If the fixture remain error
message after performing reset more than 3 times, it will detect whether the fixture has more than 3 errors. If the
fixture has more than 3 errors (including 3 errors), all the channels can not work properly; but if the fixture has less
than 3 errors, only the channels which have errors can not work properly, others can work as usual.

01Er:

(Color-wheel 1 error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the magnetic-indexing circuit
malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its drive circuit on the main
PCB). The color wheel is not located in the default position after the reset.

05Er:

(PAN-yoke movement error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the yoke’s magnetic-indexing
circuit malfunction (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective ( or its driving IC on the main
PCB). The yoke is not located in the default position after the reset.

06Er:

(TILT-head movement error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the head’s magnetic-indexing
circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its driving IC on the
main PCB). The head is not located in the default position after the reset.

08Er:

(Effect-wheel error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture and if the magnetic-indexing circuit
malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its driver circuit on the main
PCB). The rotating gobo is not located in the default position after the reset.

09Er:

(Zoom error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture and if the magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions
(sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its driver circuit on the main PCB). The zoom
is not located in the default position after the reset.
