The projecto r is for indoor use only, IP20. Use only in dry l ocations. K eep this devic e away from rain
and moisture, excessive heat, humidity and dust. Do not allow contact with water or any other liquids.
SAFE USAGE OF THE PROJECTOR
The projector is not designed or intended to be mounted directly on to inflammable surfaces.
The projector is only intended for installation, operation and maintenance by qualified personnel.
The projector must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 50cm from adjacent
wall surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.
Do not project the beam onto inflammab le surfaces, minimum dis tance is 5m.
Avoid direct exposure to the light from the lamp. The light is harmful to the eye.
Do not attempt to dismantle and/or modify the projector in any way.
Electrical connection must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Before installation, ensure that the voltage and frequency of power supply match the power
requirements of the 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 other types of dimmer apparatus.
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.
Keep the lamp clean. Do no t touch the lamp glass with bare hand.
The projector should always be installed with a secondary safety fixing. A safety cord is supplied for
this; it should be attached as shown in “installing the projector” section.
The lamp used in this projector is a Philips MSR1200 SA/DE discharge lamp. After switching off 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. But occasional
breaks will prolong the life of the lamp and projector.
Never run the projector without a lamp.

POWER SUPPLY - MAINS
Connect the power cord as follows:
L (live) =brown
E (earth) =yellow/green
N (neutral) =blue
Use the plug provided to connect the mains power to the projector paying attention to the voltage and
frequency marked on the panel of the projector. It is recommended that each projector be supplied
separately so that they may be individually switched on and off.
IMPORTANT
It is essential that each projector is correctly earthed and the electrical installation conforms to
all relevant standards. Power consumption of the SOLO 1200 is 1350W.
CONTROL CONNECTIONS
Connection between controller and projector and between one projector and another must be made
with 2 core-screened cables, with each core having at least a 0.5mm diameter. Connection to and
from the projector is via cannon 3 pin (which are included with the projector) or 5 pin XLR plugs and
sockets. The XLR's are connected as shown in the figure above.
Note: care should be taken to ensure that none of the pins touch the metallic body of the plug or each
other. The body of the plug is not connected in any way. The SOLO 1200 accepts digital control
signals in protocol DMX512 (1990).
Connect the controller’s output to the first fixture’s input, and connect the first fixture’s output to the
second fixture’s input and connect the rest fixtures in the same way. Eventually connect the last
fixture’s output to a DMX terminator as shown in the figure below.

DMX TERMINATOR
In the Controller mode, 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 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.

LED INDICATION
Green: ON——DMX signal OK or Slave;
OFF——No DMX signal;
Flash——DMX signal error;
Red: Flash medium——Setting menu mode ;
Flash fast——Software or CPU fault ;
If the projector’s lens becomes damaged or broken it should be replaced. 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, aged
lamps run to the extremity of their life might 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
specification. 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 operation, 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.
MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
To ensure the continuous rotation of the rotating gobos and linear motion of the lens for focusing, it is
recommended that the bearings for the rotating gobos and the 3 shafts for the focusing lens holder be
lubricated periodically, preferably every two months. Use only high quality, high-temperature resistant
grease instead of any type of oil. When lubricating the bearings, a syringe with a fine needle is the
easiest way to introduce the grease to the bearings around each gobo.
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 lens and dichroic colour filters should also be regularly cleaned
to maintain an optimum light output.
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. It is recommended to clean the
external optics at least once every 20 days and clean the internal optics at least once every 30 / 60
days.
Do not use any organic solvent, e.g. alcohol, to clean the reflector mirror, dichroic colour filters
or housing of the apparatus.
Do NOT use any type of solvent on dichroic colour filters.
