7.1 Lamp specifications
Gobostorm is designed to be used exclusively with Philips MSD 575 or MSR 575 lamp.
The lamps are part of the metal halide family of discharge lamps and must be handled with great care. The lamp
operates at high pressure, and the slight risk of explosion of the lamp exists if operated over its recommended life.
We recommend, therefore, that the lamp is replaced within the manufacturer’s specified lamp life.
The specification of the lamp, available via the Griven network of dealers and distributors, are shown in the table
below.
7.0 Lamp installation and replacement

9.1 Setting operating mode
By the dip-switch set it is possible to select one of the following operating modes:
• using DMX512 signal control mode
Each fixture is controlled from DMX512 signal control.
• MASTER-SLAVE or AUTOMATIC mode
The projector operates independently, without DMX512 signal control.
9.2 Setting DMX address
To access to the dip-switch panel it is necessary untighten the
screw “21” and remove the box cover.
One led is next to the dip-switch panel to notify the status of the
unit.
In the presence of DMX signal, the red led “22” will be steady on,
while in the absence of the signal the red led will flash.

9.0 Use of the unit
21
22
English 19
Each unit will use 1 DMX channel.
The number of the DMX address is to be calculated by summing the values corresponding to the activated dipswitches, which are written in the upper side of the dip-switch set (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.).
9.3 DMX functions
Gobostorm can operate without DMX signal (in AUTOMATIC mode) and can be set so that a single MASTER unit
will command a series of SLAVE units. This function is particularly useful when more units are desired to execute the
same programme in synchrony.
The following picture shows an example of a Master-Slave layout.

10.3 AUTOMATIC configuration
To set up the unit as AUTOMATIC the same instructions for the set up as MASTER must be followed (see paragraph
8.1 MASTER configuration). Adjust the dip-switch Master to ON and choose the programme to be executed.
To ensure maximum functionality and light output it is recommended to follow these instructions:
11.1 Cleaning the unit
The unit must be cleaned regularly. Cleaning regularity will depend especially on the environment where the unit
will operate: deposits of dust, smokes or other wastes will reduce the light output performances.
• Clean regularly the glass and the mirror of the unit.
• Be careful when cleaning the components. Operate in a clean, properly illuminated environment.
• Do not use solvents which could damage painted surfaces.
• Remove left particles by a cotton towel dampened with a glass-cleaning liquid or distilled water.
• Dry out by a clean, soft, non-scratching towel or by compressed air.
11.2 Regular checks
• Check electrical connections, especially the ground wiring and the power supply cable.
• Check that the unit is not damaged mechanically. Replace those components which have got deteriorated.
• Replace the lenses, the mirrors and the dichroic filters if they are visibly damaged.
• Replace any lamp that may present any damage or deformation.We recommend, therefore, that the lamp be
replaced within the manufacturer’s specified lamp life.
Replace any damaged shield.
11.0 Maintenance
Attention!
Always remove mains power prior to opening up the fixture.
All components of the unit are available as spare parts at Griven dealers.
Exploded views, wiring diagrams, electronic layouts and advertising brochures are available on request.
To make the job of assistance centres easier, specify serial number and model of the unit which spare parts are
requested for.
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old
lighting fixtures must not be disposed of the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be
collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce
the impact on human health and the environment.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you
dispose of the appliance it the must be separately collected.
Consumer should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct
disposal of their old appliance.
