The lampholder is al igned at the factory. Due to differences between lam ps, fine adjustment may improve
light performance.
Strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface (wall). Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the
beam) using the 3 adjustm ent screws
"A, B, C”
. Turn one screw at a time to drag the hot-spot di agonally
across the projected image. If you cannot detect a hot-spot, adjust the lamp until the light is even.
To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lam p in by turning al l three screws
"A, B, C”
clockwise ¼-turn at a time until
the light is evenly distributed.
If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the ce nter, or if light out put is lo w, the lam p is too f ar back
in the reflector. "Push” the lamp out b y turning the screws
"A, B, C”
counterclockwise ¼- turn at a time the
light is bright and evenly distributed.
3.2 Beampath
3.3 Rigging the fixture
DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min. 0.5 m.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that
the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.
For fixing the projectors use the hole provided in the bracket. The hole in t he adjustable mounting bracket
has a diameter of 10 mm.
For overhead use, fit a safety chain or cord.
3.4 Connection to the mains
Connect the fixture to the mains with the power-plug.
The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:
Cable Pin International
Brown Live L
Blue Neutra l N
Yellow/Green Earth
The earth has to be connected!

3.5 DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise
the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-p lugs and co nnector s in order t o connec t the contro ller with
the fixture or one fixture with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
If you are using the recommended FUTURELIGHT-controllers, you can connect the DMX-output of the
controller directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMXcontrollers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fix ture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Al ways
connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution:
At the last fixture, the D MX-cable has to be ter minated with a ter minator. Solder a 120
Ω
resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

5. Addressing
The Control Board on th e top side of the SC-240 allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is
defined as the first channel from which the SC-240 will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the SC-240 will use the channel 5 to 8 for control.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overla pping chann els in order to control eac h SC-240 cor rectly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more SC-240 are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address setting follow this procedure:
1.
Switch on the SC-240 and wait until the fixture reset has finished (
"rES"
is flashing at the display).
2.
Browse through the menu by pressing the
[
]
and
[ ]
keys until the displa y shows current address
"001"
. Confirm by pressing
[
]
key and
"001"
will start to flash frequently.
3.
Use the
[
]
and
[ ]
keys to select the desired address.
4.
Confirm by pressing
[
]
.
Controlling:
After having addressed all SC-240, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the SC-24 0 will autom atically detec t whether D MX 512 data is r eceived or no t. If there is
no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash
"001"
with 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 SC-240
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cabl e or connec tor is def ective or the sign al wires ar e swap
in the input connector.
Note:
It’s necessary to insert the XLR term ination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in orde r to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
6. Control Board
The Control Board situat ed on the top side of the SC-240 of fers several features. You can s imply set the
lighting address, run test shows, make a reset and also use special functions.

8. Maintenance and cleaning
It is absolutely essential that the fixtur e is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-f luid residues must not
build up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture‘s light-output will be significantly reduced. Regular
cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliably
throughout its life.
A soft lint-free cloth m oistened with any good gl ass cleanin g fluid is recom mended, u nder no circ umstances
should alcohol or solvents be used!
DANGER!
Disconnect from the mains before starting any
maintenance work
The front mirror objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues,
reducing the light-output very quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly.
The gobos may be cleaned with a soft brush. T he interior of the f ixture should be cle aned at least annuall y
using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
The dichroic colour-filters, the gobo-wheel and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.
Replacing the fuse
If the lamp burns out, t he fine-wire fuse of the device might fuse, too. Onl y replace the fuse b y a fuse of
same type and rating (T 3.15 A, 250 V slow).
Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.
Procedure:
Step 1:
Unscrew the fuseholder on the rearpanel with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anti-clockwise).
Step 2:
Remove the old fuse from the fuseholder.
Step 3:
Install the new fuse in the fuseholder.
Step 4:
Replace the fuseholder in the housing and fix it.
