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 transportation damage keep the carton, 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 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
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.

Keep the lamp clean. Do not touch the lamp glass with bare hands.

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 the “installing the projector” section.

The lamp used in this projector is an MSD 250W discharge lamp. After being switched off don’t
attempt to restart the projector until the lamp has cooled, this will require approx 10 to15 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.

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 figure above.
Connect the controller’s output to the first fixture’s input, and connect the first fixture’s output to the
second fixture’s input. The rest may be deduced by analogy. Eventually connect the last fixture’s
output to a DMX terminator as shown in the figure below.
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 250 accepts digital control signals
in standard DMX512 (1990) format.

DMX TERMINATOR

In Controller mode or Master/Slave mode, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX terminator
at the last fixture in the chain. 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.

NOTE:

1. After turning the lamp off, the “L. Hot” characters may be appeared on the display screen meaning
the lamp should be cooled for 10 minutes before it can restart. If the lamp is still not lit after being
switched on, the luminaire will attempt to restart the lamp automatically at intervals of 10 minutes. After
8 times of restarting, if the lamp is still off, it means the lamp is damaged and the “L. Err” appears on
the display screen.

2. The speed of fans may be adjusted automatically in relation to the temperature inside the luminaire.

3. Channels 13 and 14 – high resolution Pan and Tilt, are only available if the 16 Bit Resolution option
has been set to ON in the setup options of the projector.

4. Channel 15 - Lamp Control and Reset is only available if the appropriate options have been set to
ON in the setup options of the projector.

Soft Reset – If the option rErE is set to OFF this reset function will be available on channel 3, the
colour channel. If the DMX value sent on this channel (3) stays in the range from 5 to 7 for more than
5 seconds, the projector will start a reset sequence (Remote Requested Soft Reset). The electronics
are re-started 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.

Press the UP or DOWN button to select (self test), and then press ENTER button to confirm
it. The projector will run in stand-alone mode automatically with a programme that has been factory set.

Unscrew the four (4) M4 bolts from the head cover, then carefully lift off the plastic cover

Using a small screwdriver remove the rotating gobo retaining spring or push out the fixed gobo directly
by hand. NOTE: the fixed gobos slide out from the edge of the wheel.

Insert the new gobo (or a glass gobo) into position as shown in the figure above. For rotating gobos,
remember to re-insert the retaining spring.

Mount the cover again and retighten the 4 M4 screws.

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 (fast blow, 5mmx20mm). On the main PCB inside the projector there are also 3 fuses rated

6.3A/250V (2 PCS) and 4A/250V (1 PCS) (fast blow, 5mmx20mm). Should these be damaged call a
qualified technician before replacement. The projector has a 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.

LUBRICATION

To ensure the continued smooth 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 2 shafts for the focusing
lens holder are lubricated periodically, preferably every two months. Use only high working
temperature low viscosity oil. When lubricating the bearings, 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.

PILOT250manualEN.doc

10/16

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 colour filters or housing of the apparatus.

Changing the operating voltage and/or frequency

To be carried out by qualified engineers only

The power input settings of the Pilot 250 may be changed to suit the supply in the area that the unit is
to be operated. The voltage and frequency is pre-set at the factory and will be marked on the exterior
of the unit.
Any error or mistake in setting the frequency or voltage of the projector may seriously damage the unit.

Open the base of the projector by undoing the four screws on the top of the base and the 8 screws on
the underside.

To Change the Voltage

Locate the transformer, select the appropriate voltage from 100V, 120V, 200V, 220V, 230V and 245V
according to the local supply voltage. The voltages are marked on the transformer. Move only the
incoming power cable that was connected to the factory set voltage as marked on the projector. Under
NO circumstances should you move the cable attached to the 0V connection.
It is strongly recommended that you immediately mark the new voltage on the projector so that it may
not be mistaken for the factory set voltage.

To Change the Frequency

Locate the ballast in the base of the projector, and select the required frequency from 50Hz or 60Hz by
moving the cable to the appropriate position. The ballast will be labeled to show the connections.

Never move or disconnect the cable attached to the connector marked “Ph”.

It is strongly recommended that you immediately mark the new frequency on the projector so that it
may not be mistaken for the factory set frequency.

Once finished with the settings, re-assemble the base of the projector and covers.
