In this mode, you can set the DMX start address to any value.

XLR CONNECTORS

XLR CONNECTORS AND TERMINATOR

Connection between controller and projector and between one projector and another must be
done with 2-core screened cable, with each core having at least a 0.5mm diameter. Connection to
and from the projector is via an XLR control cable with 3-pin plug and socket, which are included
with the projector. The XLR's are connected as shown in the figure above.

Note: care should be taken to ensure that none of the connections touch the body of the plug or
each other. The body of the plug is not connected in any way. The Century Spot accepts digital
control signals in standard DMX512 (1990) format.

5-PIN AND 3-PIN CONVERSION

Century Spot uses 3-pin XLR plug / socket. If your controller uses 5-pin XLR plug / socket, you
should convert 5-pin plug / socket into 3-pin socket / plug as shown below.

DMX TERMINATOR

In the Controller mode or Master/Slave mode, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX
terminator at the last fixture in the chain. This prevents electrical noise from disturbing and
corrupting the DMX control signals.

The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω (ohm) resistor connected across
pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output socket on the last projector in the chain. The
connections are illustrated below.

MASTER/SLAVE MODE

Many luminaires can run synchronously by linking them with each other in the master/slave mode.
Set the address of all luminaires to 001.
Select one luminaire as the master, and set the function code 1 and 2 to “y”. Don’t connect its

input with an XLR control cable.
Set the function code 1 and 2 of the rest luminaries to “n”. Now they are slaves.
Connect the master’s output to the first slave’s input with an XLR control cable, and connect the

first slave’s output to the second slave’s input with an XLR control cable. The rest may be
connected in the same way. Eventually connect the last slave’s output to a DMX terminator as
shown below.

CONTROLLER MODE – DMX 512 OPERATION

Century Spot adopts international standard DMX 512 protocol. You may control many luminaires
via controller. When in controller mode, the function code 1 and 2 of all luminaires should be set
to “n”, and each apparatus should have specific address to receive the signal from the controller.
Century Spot has 6 channels. So, in controller mode, the address of 1st luminaire is 001; 2nd, 007;
3rd, 013; 4th, 019; etc. Please follow the formula: address of nth luminaire=6 x (n-1) + 1.

Connect the controller’s output to the 1st luminaire’s input, and connect the 1st luminaire’s output
to the 2nd luminaire’s input. The rest may be connected in the same way. Eventually connect the
last luminaire’s output to a DMX terminator as shown below.

If the lamp becomes damaged or deformed in any way it must be replaced. If the light from the
lamp appears dim this would normally indicate that it is reaching the end of its life and it should be
changed at once, old lamps run to the extremity of their life may explode. If the projector does not
function, check the fuse in the projector base. It should only be replaced by fuse of the same
specified value 16A/380V (fast blow, ceramic). On the main PCB inside the projector there is also
a fuse rated 4A/250V (fast blow, 5mmx20mm). Should these be damaged call a qualified
technician before replacement. The projector has thermal protection device that will switch off the
projector in case of overheating, should this operate, check that the fans are not blocked, and if
they are dirty clean them before switching on the projector again. Check that the fans are
operational.

MAINTENANCE

Any maintenance work should only be carried out by a qualified technician.

KEEPING THE PROJECTOR CLEAN

To ensure the reliability of the projector it should be kept clean. It is recommended that the fans
should be cleaned every 15 days. The dichroic colour filters should also be regularly cleaned to
maintain an optimum light output. Do NOT use any type of solvent on dichroic colour filters.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoke or
particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics. A soft
cloth and typical glass cleaning products should be used in cleaning.

Do not use any organic solvent, e.g. alcohol, to clean the housing of the
projector.
