4.Installation
4.1Fitting/Exchanging the lamp
DANGER !
Install the lamp with the device switched off only.
Unplug from mains before !
To insert the lamp MSR 575W/2 open the small cover at the rear of the projector by loosening the 3 screws „X, Y, Z” on the lamp cover. Gently pull out the lamp socket assembly. If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. Insert the lamp to the socket. Do not install a lamp with a higher wattage! A lamp like this generates temperatures the device is not designed for. Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty. Please follow the lamp manufacturer‘s notes! Do not touch the glass-bulb bare hand during the installation! Make sure that the lamp is installed tightly into the lamp holder system. Reinsert the lamp assembly and tighten the 3 screws again. Before striking the lamp, reset the "LAti/rSEt" and "LASt/rSEt"counters in the "InFO" menu on the control panel, by pressing the [ Up ] and [ Down ] buttons in one time and then conrming with the [ Enter ] button.
Do not operate this xture with opened housing-cover!
4.2Lamp adjustment
The lamp holder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between the lamps, ne adjustment may improve light performance. Strike the lamp, cancel all effects, open the shutter and set the dimmer intensity to maximum and focus the light on a at surface (wall) or use function "LAAd" in the Special functions of the control board . 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 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 the light is bright and evenly distributed.
Lamp cover:
3 fastening screws
adjusting screws „A, B, C”
4.3. Changing the power supply settings
Both the transformer and the ballast must be connected correctly for the local AC voltage and frequency. The wrong settings can cause poor performance or demage of the moving head.The factory settings are printed next to the power switch.
If you want to change the power supply settings,follow the instructions:
1.Disconnect the xture from AC power.
2.Remove the rear cover by loosening the 4 screws.
3.Move the wire (1) on the transformer connection block to the position according to the desired voltage.
4.EU version:Move the wires (2) and (3) on the ballast connection block to the position according to the desired frequency/voltage. US version:Move the wire (2) ) on the ballast connection block to the position according to the desired frequency.
5.Put the cover back before applying AC power.

4.4 Rigging
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 projector 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.
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 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 projector has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the projector shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The projector must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Projectors may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible instal­lation, do NOT install the projector!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the projector’s weight.
Danger of re ! When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inammable material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min. 0,5 m.
CAUTION! Make sure that the device is xed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the xtures is secure.
The projector can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characte­ristics .
