4.7 Rigging the fixture

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 fixture 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 first 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 qualifications, 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 fixed 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 fire !

When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable

material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min. 0,7 m.

CAUTION!

Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss.

Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.

Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss)

to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

The projector can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its
operation characteristics .

11

For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. 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 fixation 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-lock fasteners (3) into the holes of

the base and tighten fully clockwise.

3.Fasten the safety-rope (2) through the two apertures on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system.

When installing fixtures side-by-side,

avoid illuminating one fixture with another!

DANGER TO LIFE!

Before taking into operation for the first time,the installation has to be approved

by an expert!

4.8 DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures

The fixture 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 fixture or one fixture with another.

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 first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish 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 first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

4.9 Ethernet connection

The fixtures 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 identifies any node (fixture) on a network.
The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.

The ColorSpot 575E 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 fixture to the network.

RJ-45 socket (front view): RJ-45 plug (front view):

1- TD+ 5- Not connected
2- TD- 6- RX­3- RX+ 7- Not connected
4- Not connected 8- Not connected

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

1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-6 7-7 8-8
If only the fixture and the computer are to be interconnected,no hubs or other active components are needed.A
cross-cable has to be used:

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

Ethernet connection

Connect the Ethernet-inputs of all fixtures in the fixture chain with the network.
Option " Ethernet" has to be selected from "Set Ethernet Mode" menu on the fixture.
Set IP address (002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx) and the Universe.

Example:

(DMX address=49) (DMX address=25) (DMX address=1)
IP addres=002.168.002.004 IP addres=002.168.002.003 IP addres=002.168.002.002
Universe=1 Universe=1 Universe=1

An advised PC setting: IP address: 002.xxx.xxx.xxx / 010.xxx.xxx.xxx (Different from fixture IP addresses)

NET mask: 255.0.0.0

14

Ethernet / DMX connection

Options "Ethernet/DMX" has to be selected from "Set Ethernet Mode" menu on the first fixture (connected to the
network) in the fixture chain,next fixtures have standard DMX addresses.
Connect the Ethernet-input of the first fixture in the data chain with the network. Connect the DMX output of this
fixture with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected to the DMX chain.
Caution: At the last fixture, 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 fixture.

Example:

DMX address=73 DMX address=25 (DMX address=1)

IP addres=002.168.002.002

Universe=0

DMX address=217 DMX address=25 (DMX address=1)

6. Controller mode

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

6.1 DMX addressing

There are 512 available channels on DMX link.Every fixture on DMX link must have a DMX start address, which is
defined as the first channel from which the fixture will respond to the controller.
If you set ,for example, for the ColorSpot 575E AT the start address to channel 28, the ColorSpot 575E AT will use
the channels from 28 to 54 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 575E AT correctly
and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more ColorSpot 575E AT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

Controlling:

After having addressed all ColorSpot 575E AT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:After switching on, the ColorSpot 575E 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 flash with actually address.
This situation can occur if:

- the 3(or 5) pin XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from the controller) is not connected with the input of the
ColorSpot 575E AT

- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the
input connector.

6.2 Remotely controllable functions

Lamp

The ColorSpot 575E AT is to be operated with a Philips MSR 575W/2 lamp.
A relay inside of the ColorSpot 575E AT allows you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel or via your
DMX-controller 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 575E AT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period
has expired.

11. RDM

This fixture allows RDM operation.RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communications protocol
for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and status
monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely affecting
existing non-RDM equipment. By using a special „Start Code,“ and by complying with the timing specifications for
DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive
messages from specific moving lights.
RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.

14. Maintenance and cleaning

It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build
up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture‘s light-output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will
not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life.
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid 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-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing the
light-output very quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly.

The gobos may be cleaned with a soft brush. The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using
a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
The dichroic colour-filters, the gobo-wheel and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.

There are no serviceable parts inside the device except for the lamp and the fuse.
Please refer to the instructions under "Fitting/Exchanging the lamp".
Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.

Replacing the fuse

If the lamp burns out, the fine-wire fuse of the device might fuse, too. Only replace the fuse by a fuse of 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 fitting 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 fix it.

Specifications are subject to change without notice.
