Installation Instructions.
a) Installing or replacing the lamp
Only install the lamp when MY575 is unplugged from 120 volts.
The lamps must be replaced when it has reached the end of its lamp life or if it is damaged or deformed.
Before replacing the lamp let the lamp cool down. During operation, the lamp can reach very high temperature.
During the installation of the lamp do not
the lamps during insertion and removal.
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They generate temperatures higher than MY575 operating temperature.
For the installation, you need one MSR 575/2 lamp :
Procedure:
touch the glass bulbs with bare hands. Always use a cloth to handle
1) Unscrew the 3 screws (A, B, C) on the bottom of the housing, holding the plate under which the lamp is
located. Carefully remove the metal plate.
2) Carefully insert the lamp into the socket. Please remember the lamp is polarized. There is only one way to
insert the lamp. Gently slide the lamp and its lamp holder back into place.
3) On the access plate there are 3 screws marked 1, 2 and 3. They are used to adjust the lamp. You can
adjust the 3 screws to fine-tune the position of the lamp and get the maximum light output.

Please remember the lamp is not hot-restrike. You must wait approximately 10 minutes before you can restrike the lamp.
Do not ever operate MY575 with the cover open. The lamp is a discharge lamp. All discharge lamps, irregardless of the manufacturer or type, are very volatile and can explode when working with these lamps otherwise serious injury can happen.
. Great caution must be exercised

b) Mounting MY575
The installation of MY575 has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour
without any deformation. The installation must always be secured with a secondary
Never stand directly below MY575 when mounting, removing or servicing MY575. The installer should make sure that MY575 is installed correctly and that the installation is checked by an
expert on a regular basis.
If you are a rental house utilizing MY575, then use the appropriate half couplers (½ cheeseboros) to secure the
fixture to the truss or pipe. Remember to tighten down the cheeseboros before raising the truss. Don’t laugh! It has been done before now. Remember with yoke fixtures on a flown truss, when you move them the truss can move too. It’s just obeying Newton’s third law of motion: “to every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction”. Please remember this when securing the MY575 fixture.
Cautions: MY575 should be installed outside areas where people can reach it, walk by it or be seated underneath it when
being installed. Overhead mounting requires experience including, amongst other things, calculating the
working load limits and installation material being used. Periodic safety inspections should be done of MY575
as the fixture does move. If you do not have the qualifications and experience, do not attempt the installation. Improper installation can result in bodily injury to yourself or others.
Before mounting make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times MY575’s
weight.
Once installed then connect MY575 to the correct power source. 120 volts A.C.

safety device (a safety cable).
Screw one clamp (the clamp is not provided with MY575) onto each of the two Omega U brackets supplied with MY575. Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first Omega bracket into the respective holes on the bottom of MY575.
Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise. Install the second Omega U bracket. Please do not use pliers, crest wrenches and the like to turn the quick-lock fastener. If you do, there is very real likelihood that you will break the Omega bracket. (These can be replaced at a substantial cost to your boss!) Pull the safety cable through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing or any secondary point. Do not clamp the cable to the U bracket or clamp. That is not
A secondary safety point is any point that will adequately hold MY575 if the U brackets, clamps or the fixtures

a secondary safety point.

DMX-512 Control Connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your Elektralite CP20 or other DMX controller. The other end should be connected to the male 3-pin XLR input of MY575. You then daisy-chain out of the first MY575 to the next MY575. Never “Y” split the DMX connection.
If you need more cable, then it should be two core, screened cable fitted with a 3 pin XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.
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, it is recommended that a DMX terminator is used. This helps prevent corruption of the digital control signal. The DMX terminator is simply a 3 pin XLR plug (male) with a 120 resistor connected between pins 2 and 3. It is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last
MY575 in the chain. Please see illustration below.
MY575 fitted with 5 pin XLRs
The MY575 can be fitted with 5 pin XLRs. The pin configuration is the same as the three pin connector.
So Pin 1 = ground, Pin 2 = Signal (-) and Pin 3 = Signal (+). Pins 4 and 5 are not used.
Projector DMX start address selection
All MY575s need be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct MY575 responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which MY575 starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the Elektralite CP20 or other DMX controller.
The allocation of this starting address is done by setting the correct number on the display located on the base
of MY575. You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or group of fixtures, like all the MY575s in your plot, or
you can make different address for each individual fixture. If you set the same address, all the fixtures 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. 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 fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only selected fixture.
In the case of this MY575, which is a 18 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the second MY575 to 19 (18 + 1), the third to 37 (19 + 18), and so on.
Note:
After switching on, MY575 will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If the data is received, the display will show "A.001" or whatever the address is set to, like “A.019” If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display flashes "A001" with the
actually set address. This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from the controller) is not connected to the input of MY575.
or
- the controller is switched off or defective.
or
- if the cable or connector is defective
or
- if the signal wires are swap in the input connector. In others words, pins 1, 2 and/or 3 are not the same at both ends. Believe it or not this is very easy to do if the person making the cable does not look at the pin numbers in the connector. The numbers of the pins and the color of the cable need to match. Don’t just “look” at the cable and assume they are correct!

The Display Panel:
The Display Panel offers several features: you can set the starting address, switch on and off the lamp, run the
pre-programmed program or make a reset. It has been updated so if you have earlier my575 beware of the
changes! These updates are a direct result of customer feedback.
Probably the most important changes are:-
1. To change DMX address you must enter the Mode menu. You cannot just press the up and down buttons to change the address.
2. The default for the lamp striking is from the board channel 14. The fixture’s lamp w ill not just start up when you turn on the fixture.
The main menu is accessed by pressing (and holding) the Enter-button for 3 seconds until the display starts flashing. Browse through the menu by pressing the Up-button. Press the Enter-button in order to select the desired menu. You can change the selection by pressing the Up-button. Confirm every selection by pressing the Enter-button. You can leave every mode by pressing the Exit-button. The functions provided are described in the following sections on the next page.
