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

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.
