Storage

The projector, in its original packing, must be kept in covered, dry areas with a temperature between –10°C and +50°C. Attention, the projector will be damaged during the unpacking.

Admissible environmental conditions

The projector was engineered and produced to function in indoor areas with an air temperature ranging between 0° and 35°C and with a humidity level between 30 and 90%.

When choosing the installation, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat or in small area.

Power supply

Disconnect mains power supply before any operations.

Connect the fixture to the mains. See the table and the drawing for the colours of the connection cable.

Do not power the projector with a dimmer circuit

Use the plug provided to connect the mains power.

When in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

The projector can be fed with voltage between 210Vac and 240Vac (on the projector body is specified if 50 or 60 Hz). Overvoltage can damage the electronic parts of the projector or reduce the lamp life. It is advised to check the electric system before installation.

When the projector is switched on, the starting current is proxy double from the nominal current. After one minute the lamp has beam switched and the current absorbed goes down to 1.8A (230V).

The projector is complete grounded, it is necessary to connect the grounding system to the projector.

Protect the electric system with highly sensitive differential circuit breaker, 30mA.

The projector has a fuse, if a power failure should occur, that breaker the power supply, if damage change it with a fuse of the same size.

Attention, the ignitor circuit inside the projector have a very high voltage, over 4.5KV.

Example of connection

Example 1: The DMX signal is generated by a DMX controller, the signal cable goes in and out from each projector up to the

last one. The projectors will execute the same scenes if the DMX addresses are the same (factory set is 1) or they can be driven one by one if the DMX addresses are different from each other. (each projector uses 6 DMX channels):

Projector 1: DMX address 1 Projector 2: DMX address 7 Projector 3: DMX address 13

Example 2: The DMX signal is generated by a projector on stand alone mode (MASTER).

The projector MASTER will automatically execute scenes and it will drive the projector SLAVE of the same model.

In the two examples the projectors can be fed from different power sources, it is not necessary to switch on the projectors at the same time.

If the DMX controller or the MASTER projector is not switched on, the projectors are on black-out (version with dimmer/black-out) or they will project white light (version without dimmer/black-out).

DMX signal cable

Use only shielded and twisted cables with EIA485 (RS485) standards. The cable must be low capacity and an impedance between 82 and 120 ohm.

It is preferable not to use audio cables.

We advise you to read the example of the following tables as a reference to use to correct cables.

The wire size we recommended is 26 AWG or higher.

It is preferable:

- not to insert over 32 projectors each DMX chain

- not to use more than 150m of signal cable (with low quality cable)

- not to use more than 300m of signal cable (with good quality cable)

Standard DMX controllers have only one signal out-put. If more than 32 projectors are used it is necessary to have a signal SPLITTER, that will duplicate the signal in 2 or more lines.

If the signal cable is very long, it is necessary to install a signal AMPLIFIER on the DMX line (at least every 300m of good quality cable), so that it will repeat the signal to the following projectors.

On the last projector of the signal chain it is necessary to insert a resistor (from 82 to 120 ohm) between positive and negative terminal (+ and -).

Use MALE XLR 3 or 5 pin connector to connect the projectors to the DMX controller.

Use MALE / FEMALE 3 pin connectors to connect the projector to projector.

Solder on PIN 1 of the XLR connector the shield of the signal cable, on PIN 2 solder the negative (example: black wire of cable) and on PIN 3 solder the positive (example: red or white wire of the cable). The sequences and the colours has to be the same on each projector, do not change the sequences

If the REMOTE CONTROL option is activated, the channel sends, via DMX, special codes to the projector. (page 11).

User’s interface

Press and release the push-button MODE to access the different functions, as indicated by the three LED

Index (green led on): see the table in the next page for the meaning.

Use the + or - button to select the number of the Index.

Parameter (yellow led on): Use the + or - button to select the value of the Parameter which must be checked or modified.

To enable a modification, press the ENTER button; the display will flash twice as confirmation.

Fault (red led flashing): it is possible to access this mode only if a fault happens.

When the cause of the fault will be removed, the indication will be automatically removed too. It is also possible to remove some fault indications, pressing the ENTER button. Pressing the - button it is possible to see how many faults are enabled (in this case the red LED stops flashing), pressing the + button, the system returns to the visualization of the current fault code.

Automatic return to the default visualization: if no buttons are pressed for more than 30 seconds, the system automatically

returns back to the default visualization: the DMX INDEX, if there aren't faults, or the current fault code.

Permanent visualization of a fault, when existing: when a fault happens, even if the Index or the Parameter mode

have been enabled, the red "LED" stay on.

Start-up codes: when the projector is switched on, the display visualises in a sequence, 2 codes that identify the software of

the main electronic board: first the Device Code

and second the Software Release.

Procedures of zero: while performing a start procedure, the display will show only one “0” on the middle digit.

Special function system: when the projector runs special functions, the 3-digit display flashes the same number.

Stand alone mode (recordable dmx scenes)

To start this execution, assign to Index n° 10 (PROGRAM EXECUTION) the value from 1 to 20.

It is possible to create an inside program that allows the projector to function on "stand-alone" mode, it is necessary to have a DMX controller to record the scenes.

When the "stand-alone" function is enabled, the projector becomes a DMX generator. It will supply via DMX line, the values corresponding to the inside program.

The inside program runs a loop up to 20 steps (PROGRAM STEP); each step contains: a DMX value of all the channels of the projector, a time slope to achieve the new step (STEP SLOPE) and a hold time of the step (STEP HOLD).

WARNING: The projector in stand alone mode becomes a DMX generator, it is necessary to disconnect that projector by DMX controller or by the other projector MASTER because generates conflict in the signal.

Storing of the steps

• Via the DMX controller, give to the projector the position and the image required

• Set the value of STEP SLOPE (Index 12) to assign the time (in seconds) of the transition from the previous

step to this new one

• Confirm with the ENTER button

• Set the value of STEP HOLD (Index 13) to assign the time (in seconds) of the hold time of this new step

• Confirm with the ENTER button

• Assign to the PROGRAM STEP parameter (Index 11) the number of the step you want memorize

• Push the ENTER button to store

Execution of the inside program

If the PROGRAM EXECUTION parameter (Index 10) contains "0", than the projector follows the command received from an external DMX controller, otherwise, if it contains a value between "1" and "20", than the projector executes a loop of steps from "1" to the number stored in the PROGRAM EXECUTION parameter.

Modification of the program during execution

If, during the execution of a program in "stand-alone" mode, you set a PROGRAM STEP value (Index 11) and then you push the ENTER button, the program in execution will jump directly to the step required. If, during the execution of a program in "stand-alone" mode, you set a STEP SLOPE value (Index 12) or a STEP HOLD value (Index 13) and then you push the ENTER button, the corresponding parameter of the step in execution will be modified.

Remote control of parameters

If the REMOTE ENABLE parameter (Index n°5) is equal to 1, then it is possible to modify or activate some functions of the projector, via DMX. The activation of controls is based on a precise time sequence of the DMX channels values, if a step of the sequence is wrong, the procedure will be deleted.

All the STEPS of the following table must be executed.

STEP DMX channels status Timing Action

CH1..CH5 = 0 4sec<time ------------------------------

CH1..CH5 = 0 CH6 = 255

2sec<time<4sec ------------------------------

CH1..CH5 = 0 CH6 = 0

2sec<time<4sec ------------------------------

CH1..CH5 = 0 CH6 = 255

The display flashes the number 222 to show the entrance in the parameters remote control. The coupling of the parameters and the DMX channels is as follow:

HP BLACKOUT Æ CH1 SHUT ON COLOUR Æ CH2 COLOUR CORRECTION Æ CH3 RAINBOW MODE Æ CH4 RESET Æ CH5

BOOLEAN PARAMETER

If the value of the DMX channel is minor than 9, the parameter will remain the same. If it is inclusive between 9 to 127, the parameter will be equal to 0. If it is greater than 127, the parameter will be equal to 1.

NOT BOOLEAN PARAMETER

COLOUR CORRECTION:

If the value of the DMX channel is minor than 9, the parameter will remain the same. If it is inclusive between 9 to 90, the parameter will be equal to 0 If it is inclusive between 91 to 171, the parameter will be equal to 1. If it is greater than 171, the parameter will be equal to 2.

RAINBOW TYPE:

If the value of the DMX channel is minor than 10, the parameter will remain the same. If it is inclusive between 10 to 59, the parameter will be 0. If it is inclusive between 60 to 109, the parameter will be 1. If it is inclusive between 110 to 159, the parameter will be 2. If it is inclusive between 160 to 209, the parameter will be 3. If it is greater than 209, the parameter will be equal to 4.

CH1..CH5 = any CH6 = 0

------------

The display will return to the usual visualized condition, to signal the exit from the remote control. The values of the DMX channels at the moment of the exit from the remote control condition will modify in a permanent way the parameters to which those are coupled. N.B. if the parameter RESET has been set at 1 will be executed a global reset procedure of the projector.
