SAFE USAGE OF THE PROJECTOR

When unpacking and before disposing of the carton check there is no transportation damage before using the
projector. Should there be any damage caused by transportation, consult your dealer and do not use the
apparatus.

The projector is for Indoor use only, IP20. Use only in dry locations . Keep this device away from rain and
moisture, excessive heat, humidity and dust. Do not allow contact with water or any other fluids, or metallic
objects.

The projector is only intended for instal lation, operation and mainte nance by qualified per sonnel.
The projector is not designed or i ntended to be mounted di rectly on to inflammable surfaces.
The projector must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at leas t 50cm from adjacent

surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.
Do not project the beam onto inflammable surface s, minimum distance is 3m. 3m
Avoid direct exposure to the light from the la mp. The light is harmful t o the eye.
Do not attempt to dismantle and/or modify the projector in a ny way.
Electrical connection must only be ca rried out by qualified perso nnel.
Before installation, ensure that the voltage and freque ncy of powe r supply match the po wer requi rements of th e

projector.
It is essential that each projector is correctly earthed and that electrical installation conforms to all relevant

standards.
Do not connect this device to any dimmer pack.
Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Never let the power-cord come

into contact with other cables. Only handle the power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the
power-cord.

The projector should always be installed with a secondary safety fixing. A safety cord is supplied for this, it
should be attached as shown.

The lamp used in this projector is an HTI 150W/DX discharg e lamp. After being switched o ff don’t attempt to
restart the projector until lamp has cooled, this will require approx 15 minutes. Switching the lamp on and off at
short intervals will reduce the life of both the lamp and the projector.

NOTE: To optimize light output it will be necessary to adjust the lamp alignment to obtain an even distribution

of light within the beam. The three screws (ma rked A, B, an d C) may be g ently t urned to ce nter th e lamp within
the reflector. The projector should be switched on with the shutter open and the beam focused to do this, it is
also advisable to allow the lamp 5 minutes to come up to full brightness before starting to align it. Note: the three
screws will only need a small adjustment to centre the lamp, do not try to unscrew them completely. Read the
rest of this manual and then come back to thi s section to align the lamp.

The HTI series are high pressure lamps with external igniters . Care should always be taken when handling
these lamps. Always read the manufacturers "Instructions for use" enclosed with the lamp.

DMX TERMINATOR

At the last fixture in the chain, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX terminator. This prevents
electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signal s.
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.

GREEN LED RED LED

FUNC DOWN UP ENTER

Each PILOT 150 must be given a DMX start address so that the correct projector responds to the correct
control signals. This DMX start ad dress is th e channel number from which th e projector starts to “lis ten” to the
digital control information being sent out from the controller. The PILOT 150 has 8 channels, so set the No. 1
projector’s address 001, No. 2 project or’s addre ss 009, No. 3 proj ector’s add ress 017, No. 4 projector’s addres s
025, and so on.
The display shows the DMX start address after the projector is switched on (if you have already set the DMX
start address and saved it, the screen will di splay the last setting).

For the exact setting refer to “Setup Options – Projector Configuratio n” above.

To operate the projector without connecting a controller, enable a combination of setup options 3, 4 and 5, the
projector will run in Stand-Alone mode with or with out sound activation dependin g on the options that have be en
selected. See the section on “Setup Options – Projector Configuration” for full details of the available
combinations.

STAND – ALONE MODE

7/14 pilot 150 manual.doc

Without using a controller, many projectors can run synchronously in the Master/Slave mode by linking them
with each other.
Select one projector as the master with setting the DMX start address at random. Regard the other projectors
as the slaves setting all DMX start address “001”.
Connect the master’s output to the first slave’s input, and connect the first slave’s output to the second slave’s
input. The rest may be deduced by analogy. Eventually connect the last slave’s output to a DMX terminator as
shown in the figure below.

MASTER / SLAVE SYNCHRO MODE

MAINTENANCE

If the projector’s lens becomes damaged or broken it should be rep laced. If the lamp becomes damaged or
deformed in any way it must be replaced. If the li ght from the lam p appears dim thi s would normally i ndicate that
it is reaching the end of its life and it should be changed at once, old lam ps run to th e extremity of their life can
explode. If the projector does not function, check the fuses on the power socket of the projector, they should
only be replaced by fuses of the same specified value 6. 3A/250V. On the main PCB i nside the proje ctor there is
also a fuse rated 4A/250V. 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 either of
these 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, if not call a qualified technician.

Any maintenance work should only be carried out by qualified technicians.

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 lens and 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 whic h the fixture operates: damp, smo ke or particularly di rty
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. It is recommended to clean the external opti cs at least once every 20 d ays
and clean the internal optics at least once every 30 / 60 days.

KEEPING THE PROJECTOR CLEAN

Do not use any organic solvent, e.g. alcohol, to clean the reflector mirror, dichroic
color filters or housing of the apparatus.

To ensure the continued smooth rotation of the rotating gobos it is recommended that the wheel is lubricated
periodically, preferably every two months. Use only high working temperature low viscosity oil, a syringe with a
fine needle is the easiest way to introduce the oil to the bearings around each gobo. Do not over lubricate as
this will cause spillage when the wheel rotates.
