3.Gently pull the lamp socket assembly out of the head.Hold this assembly while replacing the lamp.

4.Holding the lamp by its ceramic base,carefully pull the lamp straight out of the lamp socket.

5.Holding the new lamp by its ceramics base,gently insert the lamp to the lamp socket.Mak e sure that the lamp

is installed tightly into the lamp 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!

6.Reinsert the lamp socket assembly and tighten the 4 screws again.

7.Align the new lamp (see instructions below)

8.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 confirming with the [ Enter ] button.

Do not operate this fixture with opened housing-cover!

4.2Lamp adjustment

The lamp holder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences
between lamps, fine adjustment may improve light performance:

1.Switch on the fixture and after reset turn on the lamp.

2.Cancel all effects, open the shutter and focus the light on a

flat surface (wall) using either DMX controller or function "LAAd"
in the "Special functions" of the control board .

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 dr ag
the hot-spot, diagonally across the projected image. If you cannot
detect a hot -spot, adjust the lamp until the light is even.
T o reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in b y 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
reflector. „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.

4.3 Inserting/Exchanging the colours and rotating gobos

DANGER!

Install the colours or gobos with the device switched off onl y.

Unplug from mains before!

To insert the new colours or gobos open the top cover of the head by loosening the 2 quarter turn fasteners.

4.4 Rigging

DANGER T O LIFE!
Please consider the respective national norms during the installation!
Theinstallation 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 appro ved by an e xpert
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 appro ved by an e xpert
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 y ourself, 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, profession al 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. 0,5 m.

9

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 moving-head can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering
its operation characteristics .
There are two possibility how to fix the COLORSPO T 170 A T on a truss via the Omega holders -see the dra wings
below .Use the rigging clamps (not included) with screws M12.

For overhead use , alwa ys install a saf ety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the w eight 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 .

When installing fixtures side-by-side,

avoid illuminating one fixture with another!

DANGER T O LIFE!

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

approved by an expert!

4.6 DMX- 512 connection, master/slave connection

Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the
fixture or one fixture with another.

Occupation of the XLR-connection:

DMX - output DMX-input

XLR mounting-socket: XLR mounting-plug:

Building a serial DMX-chain:

If you are using the standard controllers, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly with the DMX­input 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.
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect 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 Ohm resistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

Building a master/slave-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the master fixture in the data-chain with the DMX-input of the first slave. Always
connect output with the input of the next slave until all slaves are connected (up to 9 fixtures).
Caution:It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) into the input of the master fixture and
into the output of the last slave fixture in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.

The COLORSPOT 170 A T can be oper ated with a controller in controller mode or without the controller in stand-
alone mode.
Both modes are described in the texts below .

6.Controller mode

The fixtures are individually addressed (001-497) on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures
respond to the DMX signal from the controller.

6.1 DMX addressing

The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as
the first channel from which the COLORSPOT 170 AT will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example , the address to channel 5, the COLORSPOT 170 AT will use the channel 5 to 16 for control
(if the mode 1 is selected).
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each COLORSPOT 170 AT
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more COLORSPO T 170 AT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly .
For address setting, please refer to the instructions under "Addressing"(menu "A001").

Controlling:

After having addressed all COLORSPOT 170 AT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller .
Note:After switching on, the COLORSPO T 170 A T will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is receiv ed or
not.If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash "A001" with actually set address.
This situation can occur if:

- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the COLORSPOT
170 A T

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

Note:It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) to the last fixture in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.

6.2 Remotely controllable functions

Lamp

The COLORSPOT 170 AT is to be operated with a CDM-SA/T150W/942 lamp.
A relay inside of the COLORSPOT 170 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.
To switch On/Off the lamp ,use the menu " LAMP"- please ref er to "Switching On/Off the lamp ".
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 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 170 AT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has
expired. The message "HEAt" will appear on the control board display of the COLORSPOT 170 AT . If the ignition
of the lamp is seven times unsuccessful, on the display will appear "LA.Er.", meaning that the lamp could be
damaged or even missed, or there could be a failure on the ignitor or ballast.

Colour - wheel

The COLORSPOT 170 AT contains a colour wheel with 11 colour positions - 10 of these with dichroic colours and
the last one white. All colours are interchangeable.The colour-wheel can be positioned between two adjacent
colours in any position. It is also possible to rotate the colour- wheel continuously at different speeds("Rainbow
effect“ in both directions).

Rotating gobo wheel

The rotating gobo-wheel includes 3 metal gobos, 3 glass gobos and 1 multicolor dichroic gobo rotating in both
directions,indexab le.All gobos are interchangeable. The metal gobos have an outside diameter of 26.9 mm and an
image diameter of 22.5 mm.The glass and dichroic gobos have an outside diameter of 26.8 mm and an image
diameter of 22.5 mm.

17

Focus

Motorized focus enables the beam to be focused anywhere on the stage.

Shutter/Dimmer/Strobe

The dimming (0-100%) is provided by the simple mechanical shutter unit. This unit may also be used for strobe
effect (1 - 8 flashes per second).

7. Stand - alone mode

The fixtures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can execute pre-set programs which can be
different for e very fixture.To set the program to be played,see the "Stand-alone setting" ( menu "St.AL.").
"Stand-alone operation" can be applied to the single fixture (the fixture may be set to the master /slave mode or
controller mode ) or to multiple fixtures operating synchronously.
Synchronous operation of multiple fixtures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them
is set as a master (master mode) and the rest as the slaves (slave mode).The slaves are assigned to SLA1­SLA9 and on the certain slave address can be connected only one fixture.To set the fixture as the master or
slave , see the "Addressing" (menu "A001").
If the master fixture runs a reset or plays test(program) ,all slaves will e xecute these acts too.
You can't play or edit any programs on the slaves by their control panels if the master is switched on and
connected to the master/slave chain.
The master fixture starts simultaneous program start in the other s lave fixtures.All fixtures have a definite,
synchronized starting point when playing back their prog rams.The number of running program is the same in all
slaves and depends on the master's choice (menu "St.AL." ).Every fixture runs its program repeatedly ,starting
the program step No.1 when requested b y the master .
For example:
If the slave fixture has a shorter program length, it will continously repeat its program until the master fixture
finishes its own program and restarts its program running (slave 1- prog.step 3 will not be finished).
If the slave fixture has a longer program length, it will restart at prog. step 1 bef ore it completes all its prog.steps
(slave 2 - prog.step 5 will not be pla yed)- see the picture bellow.

Note:Disconect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating ,otherwise data collisions can
occur and the fixtures will not work properly!

11. Maintenance and cleaning

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected b y an expert
after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by a skilled
person once a year .

The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

1) All scre ws used for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tighly connected and must not

be corroded.

2) There must not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, suspension,

trussing).

3) Mechani cally mov ed parts like axles, e yes and others must not sho w any tr aces of wearing (e.g. material

abrading or damages) and must not rotate with unbalances.

4) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or

sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a
skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.

DANGER TO LIFE !

Disconnect from the mains before starting

maintenance operation!

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.

Please use a moist, lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents!
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 .
T o ensure a proper function of the gobo-wheel we recommend lubrication in six month intervals. The quantity of
oil must not be excessive in order to avoid that oil runs out when the gobo-wheel rotates.

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

Replacing the fuse

If the lamp burns out, the fine-wire fuse of the device might fuse, too . Only replace the fuse b y a fuse of same type
and rating.

Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.
Procedure:
Step 1: Unscrew the fuseholder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anti-

clockwise).

Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuseholder .
Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuseholder .
Step 4: Replace the fuseholder in the housing and fix it.

Should you need any spare parts, please use genuine parts.
If the power supply cable of this device will be damaged (cable firmly connected with the device), it has to be
replaced by authorized dealers only in order to avoid hazards.
If the power supply cable of this device will be damaged (replaceable cable), it has to be replaced by a special
power supply cable av ailable at your dealer .
Should you hav e further questions, please contact your dealer.

13. Appendix 2 - Changing the power supply settings

Both the transformer and the ballast must be connected correctly for the local A C v oltage 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 fixture from AC power .

2.Remove the base cover by loosening the 3 screws.

3.Move the wire 1 on the transformer connection block to the position according to the desired voltage.

4.Move the wire 2 on the ballast connection block to the position according to the desired frequency
(voltage).

5.Close the base before applying A C power .

Examples:

EU-version

US-version
