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 installation, operation and maintenance by qualified personnel.
The projector is not designed or intended to be mounted directly on to inflammable surfaces.
The projector must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 50cm from
adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.
Do not project the beam onto inflammable surfaces, minimum distance is 3m. 3m
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 dimmer pack.
Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Never let the powercord 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 discharge lamp. After being switched 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.
Never run the projector without a lamp.
There are 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, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it or before
attempting any maintenance work.

Insert an HTI 150W/DX lamp in the lamp holder. Close the access hatch carefully and retighten the 2
access screws.
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 (marked A, B, and C) may be gently turned to
center the 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 this
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.

DATA DATA +
Connection between controller and projector and between one projector and another must be made
with 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 XLR plugs and sockets which are included with the projector. The
XLR's are connected as shown in the table 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 PILOT 150 accepts digital control signals in standard DMX512 (1990) format.

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 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.

PROJECTOR DMX START ADDRESS
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 address is the channel number from which the projector starts
to “listen” 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 projector’s address 009, No. 3 projector’s
address 017, No. 4 projector’s address 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 display the last setting).
TO SET THE DMX START ADDRESS
Press the UP or DOWN buttons and the display will show the DMX start address.
Confirm your choice by pressing the ENTER button, this will save and set the DMX start address.
The display will show the latest setting each time the projector is powered up.

To control the projector with a DMX controller the DMX start address must be set.
Ensure that none of the Stand-Alone options are set or they will interfere with correct DMX operation.
DMX CONTROL CHANNEL FUNCTIONS
The PILOT 150 uses 8 DMX channels. They are listed in the following table.

8 TILT 16BIT 0-255 16 Bit Tilt movement (High-resolution)
NOTE:
Soft Reset – If the DMX value sent on this channel (1) stays in the range from 5 to 7 for more than 5
seconds, the projector will start a reset sequence (Remote Requested Reset). The electronics are restarted and all motors moved to their home positions exactly as they do when the power is first
switched on but the lamp is not switched off in this sequence, although the beam will be blacked out.
The channels 7 and 8 are only available when the Setup Option 6 (high resolution) is “ON”.
For the exact setting refer to “Setup Options – Projector Configuration” above.
STAND – ALONE MODE
The projectors can operate without a controller. They can do this in one of 3 different ways. StandAlone Mode means automatic operation independent of other projectors and can either be automatic
or triggered by music depending on the combination of Setup Options 4 and 5 that are selected.
The projectors can also operate synchronously with each other in Master/Slave mode. To do this they
must be connected together as described above in the Control Connections section with the terminator
inserted in the output of the last slave projector in the chain but, of course, without the controller. The
same type of DMX cables must be used to connect the Master with the Slaves. The appropriate Setup
Options must also be set. See the section on “Setup Options – Projector Configuration” for full details
of the available combinations.
Select one projector as the Master, setting the DMX start address at random. Regard the other
projectors as the slaves setting all DMX start addresses to “001”.
Never have more than ONE (1) projector configured as Master or the system will not work.

MAINTENANCE
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, old lamps run
to the 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 inside the projector 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.
CHANGING THE GOBOS
LOWER COVER
(WITH PROTRUSION)
GOBO
RETAINING SPRING
Carefully lift off the lower cover by undoing the 4 screws. (Note: the lower cover has an obvious
protrusion on the surface, which is different from the upper cover.)
Using a small screwdriver remove the gobo retaining spring.
Insert the gobo (or a glass gobo) into position, and then insert the retaining spring.
Mount the lower cover and tighten the 4 screws again.
NOTE: It is recommended to add a little adhesive, such as high temperature silicon sealant, to hold
securely the retaining spring inside the gear.
LUBRIFICATION
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.
PILOT150 manual en.doc
8/14
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. 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. 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 color filters or housing of the apparatus.
