Thank you for choosing the PROMOVER 1200 CYM product. Please note that this product, as in all
the other PROMOVER 1200 fixture range, has been designed and engineered with total and precise
attention to quality and detail.
PLEASE – read carefully this instruction manual in its entirety and keep it safe for future reference..
It is essential to know the information and comply with the instructions given in this manual to
ensure the fitting is installed, used and serviced correctly and safely.
SAFETY INFORMATION:
Installation:
Make sure all parts for fixing the projector are in a good state of repair.
Make sure the point of anchorage is stable before positioning the projector.
The safety chain must be properly hooked onto the fitting and secured to the framework, so that, if
the primary support system fails, the fitting falls as little as possible.
The safety chain gets used, if needs to be replaced with a genuine spare.
Minimum distance of illuminated objects:
The projector needs to be positioned so the objects hit by the beam of light are at least 2.5 meters
(8.2) from the lens of the projector.
Minimum distance from flammable materials:
The projector must be positioned so that any flammable materials are at least o.20 meters (8ft) from
every point on the surface of the fitting.
Mounting surfaces:
It is NOT permissible to mount the fitting on normally flammable surfaces.
Maximum ambient temperature:
For the fitting to operate well and reliably, the ambient temperature should not exceed 35 degrees C
(95 degrees F).
IP20 protection rating:
The fitting is protected against penetration by solid bodies of over 12mm (o.47”) in diameter (first
digit 2), but not against dripping water, rain, splashes or jets of water (second digit 0).
Protection against electrical shock:
Connection must be made to a power supply system fitted with efficient earth ground
It is, however, recommended to protect the supply lines of the projectors from indirect contact and/or
shorting to death by using appropriately sized residual current devices.
Hooking up to the supply mains
Connection to the electricity mains must be carries out by a qualified electrical installer.
Check that the mains frequency and voltage correspond to those for which the projector is designed
as given on the electrical data label.
This label also gives the input power to which you need to refer to evaluate the maximum number of
fittings to connect to the electricity line, in order to avoid overloading.
Pay attention to size the neutral conductor of three-phase systems adequately if the version is used
with an electronic power supply unit without p.f. correction since the neutral current is equal to the
sum of the currents on all the active phases.
The last warning does not hold for versions equipped with an electronic power supply unit with PFC
or with an electromagnetic power supply unit.
Temperature of the external surface
The maximum temperature that can be reached on the external surface of the fitting, in a thermally
steady state, is 160 degrees C (320 degrees F).
Maintenance
Before starting any maintenance work or cleaning the projector, cut off power from the mains
supply. After switching off, do not remove any parts of the fitting for at least 10 minutes. After this
time the likelihood of the lamp exploding is virtually nil.
If it is necessary to replace the lamp, wait for another 15 minutes to avoid getting burnt.
The fitting is designed to hold in any splinters produced by a lamp exploding. The lenses must be
mounted and, if visibly damaged, the have to be replaced with genuine spares.
Lamp
The fitting mounts a high-pressure lamp that needs an external igniter. This igniter is fitted onto the
apparatus.
-Carefully read the “operating instructions” provided by the lamp manufacturer.
-Immediately replace the lamp if damaged or deformed by heat.
Unpacking and Preparation
Unpacking
Cut the straps, open the top of the cardboard box and take out all the accessories. Then take off
the supporting sides and lift the outer strip. Open the plastic bag and take the projector off the
bench: position it on an easily accessible flat surface where you can carry out the following
preliminary operations.
Packing contents
The pack contains the illustrated accessories as well as the projector.
Fitting eyebolts
Extract a screw from each side of the base and replace them with the two eyebolts supplied, reusing
the flat and elastic washers.
Warning: Fully tighten the two eyebolts and make sure the threads hold properly.
Pan Mechanism Lock and Release
Tilt Mechanism Lock and Release
Opening and closing the side covers
Preparing the warning label
Find the relamping label on the cover of the movable body and, if necessary, replace it with one of
the optional multilingual labels located in the projector lamp compartment.
WARNING: Read carefully and meticulously apply the information and instructions given on
this label. In addition, check it is never removed as it contains important safely information.
Fitting the lamp
Take the new lamp out of its package, loosen the two side ring nuts and insert the lamp in its
mountings. Finally, screw on the ring nuts.
IMPORTANT: to distribute the beam of light uniformly, the lamp needs to be positioned with the
protrusion visible on the bulb outside the optical axis of the projector. For this purpose it is
recommended to turn the protrusion towards one of the side covers.
WARNING: do not touch the lamp’s envelope with bare hands. Should this happen, clean the
bulb with a cloth soaked in alcohol and dry it with a clean , dry cloth.
Lamp regulation
Opening and closing the effects compartment
Removing internal clamps
Take away the four elastic transit bands from the color and frost filters.
INSTALLATION AND START-UP
Installing the projector
Except for when the projector is standing on the floor, it is compulsory to fit the safety chain. These
need to be secured to the projector framework and then hooked onto the rings on the base of the
projector and eyebolts screwed into the holes in the base of the projector.
WARNING: Check the plate is correctly secured to the base of the fitting. If the plate has
been removed, to carry out non-routine maintenance work, reposition it, inserting all 10
screws and at the same time checking the threads hold properly.
Connecting to the mains supply
Connecting to the control signal line (DMX or RS232/423)
Use a cable conforming: 2 –pole twisted, shielded, 120 ohm, characteristic impedance, 22-24
AWG, low capacity.
Do not use microphone cable or other cable with characteristics differing from those specified. The
end connections must be made using XLR type 5-pin male/female connectors. If the DMX signal is
used, a terminating plug must be inserted into the last projector with a resistance of 120 ohm ,
(minimum 1/4W) between terminals 2 and 3. The termination is unnecessary if the signal is used.
IMPORTANT: The wires must not make contact with each other or with the metal casing of the
connectors. The casing itself must be connected to the shield braid and to pin 1 of the connectors.
Switching on the projector
Press the switch checking it all works properly. At switch on, the software contained in the DMX
Receiver microprocessor does a checksum (automatic check) while the three-figure display is off
and the three LED’s controlling the input signal are all on. After a few seconds, the projector starts
the mechanical zero setting of the effects. Only at the end of this procedure it switches on (option 3
OFF), or you can switch on (option 3 ON) the lamp.
After the information has scrolled, the projector address will stay displayed. You can also scroll the
aforesaid information by turning all the rotary selector switches of the addresses to zero or by
setting the TEST microswitch to ON. Alternatively you can set the projector to blackout (with all the
channels on zero).
Setting the projector start address
For each STAGE ZOOM, the starting address must be set for the digital signal. To do this, you
need to operate three rotary selector switches for unit (1), tens (10) and hundreds (100), bearing in
mind that each STAGE ZOOM occupies 16,17, 19 or 20 control channels. The start address setting
operation can also be done with the projector switched off.
MAINTENANCE
Locking and releasing Pan and Tilt movements
-Refer to the instructions in the UNPACKING AND PREPARATION section.
Opening and closing the side covers
-Refer to the instructions in the UNPACKING AND PREPARATION section.
Lamp change
-Refer to the instructions for lamp change and regulation in the UNPACKING AND PREPARATION
section.
Zero setting the working hours and number of times the lamp is switched on
To zero the hours of the lamp’s life (“Bulb hours”) and the number of times it is switched on (“Bulb
strikes”) which are stored in the DMX Receiver microprocessor, proceed as follows:
1. Set the TEST microswitch to the ON position.
2. Shift the DISPLAY microswitch from ON to OFF (or from OFF to ON) and vice versa 3 times
within a time of 6 seconds. If the procedure has been carries out correctly, the three-signal
control LED’s will light up simultaneously, while the display will go completely blank. This
situation lasts for approximately 5 seconds.
3. Return the TEST microswitch to the OFF position.
Extracting effects kit
Open the effects compartment, disconnect the connector gripping it by its side lugs and forcing in
the direction shown by the arrow, taking care not to stretch the wires, then release, turning the four
levers of the quick lock/release devices anti-clockwise. Slowly lift the effects kit till it comes
completely out of the projector head, taking care over any interference with the wiring cables of the
movable head. Rest this effects kit on a flat surface in the position shown.
IMPORTANT: when handling the effects kit, it must be gripped by the framework and not the
motors, wiring, effects wheels or other parts that could easily get damaged or deformed.
Inserting effects kit
Position the bundle of wires for wiring the effects kit motors outside the movable head, as shown in
the figure. Prepare the PROMOVER 1200 CYM effects kit by manually turning both gobos discs to
turn the empty positions (without gobos) towards the outside of the kit. Lift the effects kit above the
projector head and, slowly, rest it in the head, taking special care to avoid interference with the
electric wires of the internal wiring.
IMPORTANT:
-Before inserting the effects kit it is advisable to take out the lamp to prevent it getting damaged
during the operation.
-The effects kit must be inserted in the movable head so that the male connector is positioned in the
same side where there is the bundle of wires terminating with a female connector. Lock the four
levers of the quick lock/release devices by turning them clockwise. Grip the connector by its side
lugs, check the direction of insertion and insert if correctly into the connector on the effects kit,
forcing parallel to it, taking care not to stretch the wires.
Replacing effects kit
The instructions provided for extracting and inserting the whole effects kit are clearly useful also for
replacing it completely with another effects kit for PROMOVER 1200 CYM. For conversion into
STAGE COLOR 1200 refer to the specific manual code 099552.

Periodical cleaning
To ensure optimal operation and performance for a long time it is essential to periodically clean the
parts subject to dust and grease deposits. The frequency with which the following operations are to
be carried out depends on various factors, such as the amount of the effects and the quality of the
working environment (air humidity, presence of dust, salinity, etc).
Use a soft cloth dampened with any detergent liquid for cleaning glass to remove the dirt from the
reflectors, from the lenses and filters.
It is recommended that the projector undergoes an annual service by a qualified technician for
special maintenance involving at least the following operations:
.General cleaning of internal parts
.Restoring lubrication of all parts subject to friction, using lubricants specifically.
.Electrical, photometric and functional checks; eventual repairs.
