2. Cancel all effects, open the shutter and focus the light on a
at surface (wall) using either DMX controller or function
„Lamp adjustment” in „Special functions menu”.

3. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the
3 adjustment screws „A, B, C”. Turn one screw at a time to
drag the hot-spot, diagonally across the projected image. If
you cannot detect a hot -spot, adjust the lamp until the light
is even.
To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three
screws „A, B, C” clockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is
evenly distributed.
If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center,
or if light output is low, the lamp is too far back in the reector.
„Push” the lamp out by turning the screws „A, B, C” counter­clockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is bright and evenly
distributed.

5.5 Inserting/Exchanging gobos, colours and effects

5.6 Rigging the xture

DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the respective national norms during the installation!
The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!

The installation of the xture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without
any harming deformation.

The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary
safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.

When rigging, derigging or servicing the xture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high
working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before
taking into operation for the rst time and after changes before taking into operation another time.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after
every four year in the course of an acceptance test.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person
once a year.
Allow the xture to cool for ten minutes before handling.
The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating
working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the

12

13

projector. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural
rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.
The xture has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the xture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The xture
must never be xed swinging freely in the room.

Caution: Fixtures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible
installation, do not install the xture!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the xture’s weight.

Danger of re!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inamma

ble material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min. 1,2 m.

CAUTION! Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the xture on the truss.
Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.
Make sure that the device is xed properly!
Ensure that the structure (truss)
to which you are attaching the xtures is secure.

The moving-head can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its ope­ration characteristics .
The Omega holders can be placed in 4 positions on the bottom of the base. Use the clamps (not included in delivery)
with screws M12.
For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture. You must only use
safety ropes with screw-on carabines. Pull the safety rope through the two apertures on the bottom of the base and over
the trussing system etc. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the xation screw.

Fixation via the omega holders

1. Bolt each clamp (1) to the omega
holder (4) with M12 bolt and lock nut
through the hole in the holder.

2. Fasten the omega holders on the

bottom of the base by inserting both
quick-l ock fastener s (3) into the
holes of the base and tighten fully
clockwise.

5.7 DMX-512 connection/connection between xtures

The xture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.The sockets are wired in parallel.
Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to
connect the controller with the xture or one xture with another.

Occupation of the XLR-connection:

DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-sockets (rear view): XLR mounting-plugs (rear view):

If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with the DMX
input of the rst xture in the DMX chain. If you wishhht to connect DMX controllers with other XLR outputs, you need to
use adapter-cables.

Building a serial DMX chain:

Connect the DMX output of the rst xture in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the next xture. Always connect one
output with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected.

Caution: At the last xture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor between Signal
(–) and Signal (+) into a XLR plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last xture.

5.8 Ethernet connection

The xtures on a data link are connected to the Ethernet with Art-Net communication protocol. The controlling software
from PC (or lighting console) has to support Art-Net protocol.
Art-Net communication protocol is a 10 Base T Ethernet protocol based on the TCP/IP. Its purpose is to allow transfer of
large amounts of DMX 512 data over a wide area using standard network technology.

IP address is the Internet protocol address. The IP uniquely identies any node (xture) on a network.
The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.

The ColorSpot 1200 AT is equipped with 8-pin RJ- 45 socket for Ethernet input.Use a network cable category 5 (with four
„twisted” wire pairs) and standard RJ-45 plugs in order to connect the xture to the network.

RJ-45 socket (front view):

1- TD+ 5- Not connected
2- TD- 6- RX-
3- RX+ 7- Not connected
4- Not connected 8- Not connected

Patch cables that connect xtures to the hubs or
LAN sockets are wired 1:1, that is, pins with the
same numbers are connected together:

1 - Shield
2 - Signal (-)

3 - Signal (+)
4 - Not connected
5 - Not connected

If only the xture and the computer are to be inter­connected, no hubs or other active components are
needed. A cross-cable has to be used:

pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
pin 3 6 1 8 7 2 5 4

pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
pin 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

14

15

Ethernet connection

Connect the Ethernet-inputs of all xtures in the xture chain with the network.
Option “Ethernet” has to be selected from „Set Ethernet Mode” menu on the xture.
Set IP address (002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the Universe.

Example:

(DMX address=49)
IP addres=002.168.002.003
Universe=1

An advised PC setting: IP address: 002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx (Different from xture IP addresses)
NET mask: 255.0.0.0

Ethernet / DMX connection

Options „Ethernet/DMX” has to be selected from „Set Ethernet Mode” menu on the rst xture (connected to the network)
in the xture chain, next xtures have standard DMX addresses.
Connect the Ethernet-input of the rst xture in the data chain with the network. Connect the DMX output of this xture
with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected to the DMX chain.

Caution: At the last xture, the DMX chain has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor between Signal
(–) and Signal (+) into a XLR-plug and connect it in the DMX-output of the last xture.

Example:

(DMX address=1)
IP addres=002.168.002.001
Universe=1

(DMX address=25)
IP addres=002.168.002.002

7. Controller mode

The xtures are individually addressed on a data link and connected to the controller. The xtures respond to the DMX
signal from the controller.

7.1 DMX addressing

There are 512 available channels on DMX link. Every xture on DMX link must have a DMX start address, which is dened
as the rst channel from which the xture will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, for the ColorSpot 1200 AT the start address to channel 25, the ColorSpot 1200 AT will use the
channels 25 to 48 for control (if Mode 1 is selected from „DMX Preseting” menu).
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each ColorSpot 1200 AT correctly and
independently from any other xture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more ColorSpot 1200 AT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

Controlling:

After having addressed all ColorSpot 1200 AT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.

Note:

After switching on, the ColorSpot 1200 AT will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there
is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to ash with actually address.

7.2 Remotely controllable functions

Lamp

The ColorSpot 1200 AT is to be operated with a Philips MSR 1200 SA lamp.
A relay inside of the ColorSpot 1200 AT allows you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel or via your DMX­controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to be cold

before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait at least 5 minutes after having switched off the lamp before you
can switch it back on again. If you try to switch On the lamp within 5 minutes after having switched it Off, the Color­Spot 1200 AT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has expired.

CMY-colours mixing system

The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan, magenta, and yellow color lters. A continuous range of colors
may be achieved by varying the amount of each lter from 0 to 100%.
Colour temperature correction ltre lowers the colour temperature from 5600K to 3200 K.

Colour wheel

The ColorSpot 1200 AT features a colour wheel with 4 colour positions, UV lter and 6000 K temp. lter and the hole
(open). It is also possible to rotate the colour wheel continuously at different speeds, the so-called „Rainbow effect“ is
created. Auto random colour selection,random colour selection by audio control is possible.

Rotating gobo wheel 1

The rotating gobo wheel includes 6 dichroic glass gobos rotating in both directions at different speeds. All rotating gobos
are replaceable and ne indexable.
Rotating gobo wheel can continuously rotate in both directions from slow to fast speed.

Rotating gobo wheel 2

The rotating gobo wheel includes 1 glass gobo and 5 dichroic glass gobos rotating in both directions at different speeds.
All rotating gobos are replaceable and ne indexable.
Rotating gobo wheel can continuously rotate in both directions from slow to fast speed.

Effect wheel

This wheel provides 3-facet prism,5-facet prism and 2 glass effects rotating in both directions at different speeds.Prism/
gobo macros are possible.

Iris

Motorized adjustable iris,wide range of variable pulse effects.

Frost

Frost module provides variable frost for ne frosting.

Focus-multistep zoom

Motorized focus enables the beam to be focused anywhere on stage, provided by the special multistep zoom with range
13°- 42°.

Dimmer/Shutter/Strobe

Smooth 0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the combined mechanical dimmer/shutter unit. This unit may also be used for
strobe effect (1 - 15 ashes per second)

position by external force (e.g.by stroke).

Be careful, the Pan/Tilt Feedback OFF is not the standard operation and the head of the xture can be demaged!
Note: If the feedback was switched off, the pan/tilt-position is changed by an external force and the feedback is switched

on again, the moving head might not to be synchronized with the DMX signal. You have to make a reset in order
to synchronize the moving head with the DMX signal.

Microphone Sensitivity - Select this function to adjust the microphone sensitivity from 1(maximum) to 20 (minimum). If
the sensitivity is correctly adjusted, the mark will appear (blinking in the bass beat.)

Fan Modes - By using this function you can choose 2 types of the fan speed operating modes.
Auto Cooling - The fans automatically raise their speed in order to control inside temperature of the lighting,
if the temperature inside increases about certain level (the low fan speed reduces the cooling of the lighting).
This cycle can repeat several times until the temperature inside is on a suitable level.
High Cooling - The cooling fans work on max. speed (max. cooling). This mode we recommend for high ambient
temperature (30 °C and more).

Autofocus - The function improves the image on the wall if the zoom changes (its effect is the best for gobos from gobo
wheel 2 and for distance cca 6 m). If you want to focus the image on the long distance (more than 15 m), this
function should be set off.

Pan/Tilt mode - Use this menu to set the character of the pan/tilt movement.
Time mode - Pan and tilt will move with different speeds and they will come at the same time to end point (pan
and tilt sets its optimal speed).
Speed Mode - Pan and tilt will move with the same speed as adjusted by the channel 5 (Pan/Tilt speed). E.g.
pan will come to the end point and wait for tilt, which has longer track.

Active Blackout while: - Use this function if you wish to close the light output during effect changes.
Pan/Tilt Moving - This function closes the light output during pan/tilt changes.
Colour Wheel Moving - This function closes the light output during colour changes.
Gobo Wheels Moving - This function closes the light output during gobo wheel 1/gobo wheel 2 changes.

is not connected), all effects will move to this init positions.

Note: If you operate 24 channels pre-setting (Mode 1) and you adjust DMX values for channels which are not
included in this mode, you will not be able to change these effects from the controller !
For example: You operate the Mode 1 and in „Init Effect Positions” menu is adjusted CMY Colour Macro =150, this value

shoud be 0 or you will not abble to control cyan, magenta and yellow because these effects are used in CMY
macros and the macros have a priority.

in DMX chain! Turn on the computer and the xture. Make sure that the lamp is switched off.

2.Switch the xture to the update mode by selecting the option Updating Software in menu Special Functions
on the xture control panel.(From this option you cannot return back to the main menu. If you do not want to
continue in software update, you have to switch off and on the xture to leave this option!)

3.It is recommended that you exit all programs before running this Software Uploader.

4.Start the Software Uploader program. Select desired COM and then click Connect button.
If the conection is OK, click Start Uploading button to start uploading. It will take several minutes to perform
software update.If the option "Incremental Update"isn´t checked ,all processors will be updated (including
processors with the same software version).
If you wish to update only later versions of processors, enable the Incremental Update check box.
Avoid interrupting the process. Update status is being displayed in the list window.
When the update is nished, the line with the text “The xture is successfuly updated‘ will appear in this
window and the xture will reset with the new software.
Note: In the case of interruption of the upload process (e.g. power cut), the xture remains in the update mode and you
have to repeat the software update again.
For example: The xture was switched off before nishing software upload. After switching the xture on again, the xture
is still in the update mode and the display is dark. Restart the Software Uploader program and repeat software update
from your PC.

10. Low power mode

This mode omits xture reset after switching the xture on and lowers motor powers of the xture. „Low power mode” is
useful in special casech.g. if the xture is in a ight case and you want to set its DMX address without taking it out from
the case. To enter „Low power mode”:
Press and hold [ENTER] and at the same time switch on the Power switch. The following message appears:
Realy Skip Initial Reset?
Escape/Enter
Press [ENTER] to activate „Low power mode” without xture reset.Now you can set features and behaviour of the xture
by using „Fixture Address” menu and „Personality” menu.It is expected,that this mode will be exited by switching the xture

33

off, but if you want to go directly to „normal operation mode”, execute any xture reset.

Note: All motors in „Low power mode” are deactivated and switching the lamp on from the control panel is blocked.

11. Error and information messages

Occured errors during xture operation are signalized by warning icon on the display:

Press [ESC] to see the current error messages.

Description of the error messages:

Active Lamp Timer

This message appears if you try to switch on the lamp within 5 minutes after having switched it off (the lamp is too hot).
The message will appear on the display if the lamp doesn't ignite within 28 seconds. The ColorSpot 1200 AT will store
this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has expired.
Caution: The message is disabled if the lamp light sensor (function „Lamp Sensor” in menu Personality) is switched Off.

Lamp Error

The ignition of the lamp is seven times unsuccessful (the "Active Lamp Timer" message appeared six times before), and
the display shows "Lamp Error", meaning that the lamp could be damaged or even missed or there could be a failure on
the ignitor or ballast.
Please place or replace the lamp and contact your dealer if the situation was not caused by the lamp.
Caution: The message is disabled if the lamp light sensor (function „Lamp Sensor” in menu Personality) is switched off.

Overheated ->Lamp Off

This message informs that the xture head is overheated and the lamp was switched off by its temperature sensor.

Lamp Sensor Error

This message informs the lamp light sensor is failed.
Caution: The message is disabled if the lamp sensor (function Lamp Sensor in menu Personality) is switched Off.

Short Power Error

This message will appear if the xture was shortly disconnected from the main.

Supply Frequency Error

This message will appear if the frequency of the main is not standard 50 or 60 Hz.This message can appear as a result
of the interference during the lamp starting (if the lamp or igniter is old) or as a result of the interference by neighbouring
devices. In these cases the message does not affect the xture operating!

The following error messages are separated into 2 groups:

xxxx xxxx Error 1 (e.g. Colour Wheel Error 1, Gobo 2 Index Error 1)

13. Maintenance and cleaning

It is absolutely essential that the xture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-uid residues must not build up on or
within the xture. Otherwise, the xture‘s light-output will be signicantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the
maximum light-output, but will also allow the xture to function reliably throughout its life.
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning uid is recommended, under no circumstances should alcohol
or solvents be used!

DANGER ! Disconnect from the mains before starting any maintenance work

The front objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-uid tends to building up residues, reducing the light-output
very quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly.
The interior of the xture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
Dichroic colour lters, CMY lamelas,gobo wheels and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.
Remove dust and dirt from the fans and cooling vents using a soft brush and vacuum-cleaner.

Important! Check the air lters periodically and clean before they become
clogged!

Clean the air lters from the front fans with a vacuum cleaner, compressed air or you can wash them and put back dry.

Replacing the air lters.

1)Disconect the xture from power.

2)Remove both top and bottom cover of the head (by loosening the 4 quarter-turn fasteners on each cover)

3)Remove the air lters (they are xed with a velcro fastener) from grids.

4)Clean or replace the air lters.

5)Place the lters on the grid and put head cover back.

6)Reset the elapsed time counter in menu Fixture information (Fixture Information--->Air Filters---> Elapsed
Time.

38

39

There are no serviceable parts inside the device except for the lamp and the main fuse.
For replacing lamp,please refer to the instructions under „Fitting/Exchanging the lamp”.

Replacing the fuse

If the lamp burns out, the ne-wire fuse of the device might fuse, too. Only replace the fuse by a fuse of the same type
and rating.
Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.

Procedure:

1) Unscrew the fuseholder on the rear panel of the base with a tting screwdriver from the housing (anti-clockwise).

2) Remove the old fuse from the fuseholder.

3) Install the new fuse in the fuseholder.

4) Replace the fuseholder in the housing and x it.

More complicated maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
