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 liquids.

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 inflammable surfaces, minimum distance is 5m. 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 not 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 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.
The lamp shall be changed if it has become damaged or thermally deformed.

Shields and lens shall be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such an extent than their effectiveness is
impaired, for example by cracks or deep scratches.

Exterior surface temperatures of the luminaire after 5 minutes operation is 80℃, when steady state is achieved 120℃,

There is no user serviceable parts inside the projector, do not open the housing and never operate the projector with the
covers removed.

Always disconnect from the mains, w hen the device is not in use or before cleaning it or
before attempting any maintenance work !

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to consult your dealer or manufacturer.

INSTALL THE PROJECTOR

Take 2 clamps and the safety cord out from the package and mount 2 clamps on the underside of fixture with 2 retainers
attached to each clamp. Hang the fixture on the structure and fasten the screws attached to each clamp. (See the

WARNING

Always ensure that the projector is firmly anchored to avoid vibration and slipping whilst functioning. Always ensure that
the structure that you are going to mount the projector is secure and is strong enough to support a weight of XS 250.

WARNING:

1. Unlock the P AN and TILT before the 1

2. The projector MUST be lifted or carried by the HANDLES instead of clamps.

3. For safety the safety cord should afford 10 times of the unit’s weight.

FITTING THE LAMP

Lock the yoke before fitting/replacing the lamp.
Open the cover board at the rear of the projector by loosening 3 screws, you can see the structure as shown in the figure
above.
Gently pull out lamp holder assembly.

Take out the worn-out lamp. Insert the new lamp to the socket. Note: don’t touch the bulb of the new lamp with bare

hand so as not to influence the beam output.
Close the rear cover and fasten 3 screws.

WARNING: The MSD series are high-pressure lamps w ith external igniters (
when handling these lamps. Always read the manufacturers "Instructions for use" enclosed with the 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.

IMPORT ANT
It is essential that each projector is correctly earthed and the electrical installation conforms to a ll relevant
standards.

CONTROL CONNECTION

Connection between controller and projector and between one projector and another must be made with a 2
core-screened cable, 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 XS 250 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.

TO SET THE DMX START ADDRESS

Each XS 250 must be given a DMX start address so that the correct projector responds to the correct control signals.

This DMX start address is the channel number from which the projector starts to “listen” to the digital control information

being sent out from the controller. The XS 250 has 3 DMX modes. There are standard mode, extended mode and short

mode. For example standard mode has 16 channels, so set the No. 1 projector’s address 001, No. 2 projector’s address

017, No. 3 projector’s address 033, No. 4 projector’s address 049, and so on.
Launch the projector. Press button ENTER or coder knob more than 5 seconds to unlock panel.

STAND-ALONE MODE

Operate the projector without connecting a controller, enable the master mode in the operation panel, the
projector will run in Stand-Alone mode automatically.

MASTER/SLAVE MODE

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 options master mode enabled but slaves.
Regard the other projectors as the slaves with setting options slave mode enabled and all DMX start
address “001”.
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.
