FITTING THE LAMP

planet manual.doc

5/14

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 is supplied separately
so that they may be individually
switched on and off. It is

recommended that the

green/yellow conductor must
be earthed correctly.

The projector may be controlled by sound, auto
programmes or a controller, and it may be operated in
Stand-Alone automatic mode, in Master/Slave synchro
mode or in Controller mode. With the touch-switches
and the digital display screen, DMX start address can
be easily set and the various setup options may be
configured.

TO SET THE DMX START ADDRESS

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).

Press the UP or DOWN buttons to select the required DMX start address in the display.
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 when the projector is powered up.
In Stand-Alone mode, the DMX start address can be set at random.

In the Controller mode and Master/Slave mode, the DMX start address must be set correctly.
(Refer to “Controller mode” and “Master/Slave mode” sections).

SETUP OPTIONS - PROJECTOR CONFIGURATION

To browse through the various Setup Options, press the FUNC button consecutively. There are
11 option codes (1~9 and A, b), each code has a specific function. The functions provided are
listed in the following table.

Once you have selected the desired operation code, press the key UP or DOWN to select “n”
(means OFF) or “y “ (means ON). N = ON, Y = YES.

Press the key ENTER to save the selected function and configuration. If the display is showing
“y”, then the setting has been enabled. In the same way, if it was showing “n” when you pressed
ENTER the option has been disabled.

The green LED will flash during this operation.

Without connecting the controller and the control cable, with the setup option 3 (sound activation)
or 4 (auto process) enable, the projector will run in Stand-Alone mode.

If you enable a combination of setup options 3 (sound activation) and 4 (auto process), the
projector will run in auto programmes.

You may set the DMX start address at random in Stand-alone mode.
When the projector is activatived by sound, the red indicator will flash according to the rhythm of

the music. And when the projector is running in auto programmes, the indicator will be contantly
red.

XLR CONNECTORS

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 PLANET accepts digital
control signals in standard DMX512 (1990) format.

STAND-ALONE MODE

XLR CONNECTORS AND TERMINATOR

planet manual.doc

7/14

5-PIN AND 3-PIN CONVERSION

PLANET uses 3-pin XLR plug / socket. If your controller uses 5-pin XLR plug / socket, you
should convert 5-pin plug / socket into 3-pin socket / plug as shown below.

DMX TERMINATOR

In the 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 above.

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 the DMX start address at random. Regard the
other projectors as the slaves setting all DMX start address “001”.

Connect the master’s output to the first slave’s input, and connect the first slave’s output to the
second slave’s input. The rest may be deduced by analogy. Eventually connect the last slave’s
output to a DMX terminator as shown in the figure below.

MASTER / SLAVE MODE

planet manual.doc

8/14

In the Master/Slave mode, you may run the master via the auto programmes having been set in
the master or via sound activation through MIC inside the master, and the slaves will run
synchronously with the master.

In the Master/Slave mode, when the master is a combining of setup 3 (sound activation) and 4
(auto programmes), the projectors will run auto programmes.

During operation, you can easily differentiate between the master and the slaves since the
master’s DMX output without connecting any cable. When the master runs in auto programmes,
the master’s red indicator is constantly on but the slaves’ red indicators flash.

Each PLANET 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 PLANET
has 6 channels, so set the No. 1 projector’s address 001, No. 2 projector’s address 007, No. 3
projector’s address 013, No. 4 projector’s address 019, and so on.
Certainly, you may use formulation: address=channels x (projector No –1) +1
For example, for the No. 4 projector’s start address, you should calculate according to
formulation: 6 x (4 – 1) +1 = 19. So you set the No 4 projector start address 019.

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.

When a DMX 512 signal is received the red indicator will flash. When not receiving a DMX signal
the green and red indicators will be off.

10/14

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
fuse on the power socket of the projector, they should only be replaced by fuse of the same
specified value 6.3A/250V (fast blow, 5mmx20mm). On the main PCB inside the projector there
is also a fuse rated 4A/250V (fast blow, 5mmx20mm). 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 thIs 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 a qualified technician.

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 housing of the
projector.

PROBLEM RESOURCE
