4. Installation
4.1 Connection to the mains
For protection from electric shock,the xture must be earthed!
The ColorSpot 700E AT is equipped with auto-switching power supply that automatically adjusts to any 50/60Hz AC power source from 100-240 Volts.
For use with 100-130 V supplies,the both main 6.3 A fuses has to be exchanged for 10 A fuses which are enclosed in the packing.
To install the 10 A fuses:
1. Disconect the xture from AC power.
2. Unscrew the "live" fuseholder on the rear panel of the base with a flat-tip screwdriver from the housing (anticlockwise).
3. Remove the 6.3 A fuse from the fuseholder.
4. Put the 10 A fuse in the fuseholder.
5. Replace the fuseholder in the housing and screw it fully clockwise.
6.Repeat steps 2-5 for "neutral" fuseholder
If you need to t the power cable with a power plug that is suitable for your local AC power outlets, installl a 3-prong grounding-type plug on the power cable. The earth has to be connected! If you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualied electrician.

4.2 Fitting the lamp
DANGER ! Install the lamps with the device switched off only. Unplug from mains before !
To insert the lamp (MSR GOLD 700 FastFit):
1. Disconnect the xture from power and allow it to cool at least 15 minutes.
2. Make sure that xture´s head is in the position as shown on the picture.Loosen the two quarter-turn fasteners (1) marked “X,Y“ on the lamp cover (2) to turn the cover down.
3. Holding the lamp by its ceramic base (3), carefully turn the lamp to the left as shown on the picture in order to loosen the lamp from the lamp holder (4). Gently pull the lamp out of the lamp holder
4. Holding the new lamp by its ceramics base, gently insert the lamp to the lamp socket and turn the base
to the right. Make 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!
5. Reinsert the lamp cover (2) and tighten two quarter-turn
fasteners (1) again.
6. Align the new lamp (see instructions below)
7. Reset „Lamp On Time” and „Lamp Strikes” counters in „Fixture information” menu.
Do not operate this xture with open lamp cover!
4.3 Lamp adjustment
The lamp holder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, ne adjustment may improve light performance:
1. Switch on the xture and after reset turn on the lamp.
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.

4.5 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 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 a distance of min. 0.7 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 projector can be placed directly on the stage oor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics . For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture. You must
.

4.6 DMX-512 connection
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.
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 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 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 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last xture.

4.7 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 700E 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): RJ-45 plug (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: 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4 5-5 6-6 7-7 8-8 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: 1-3 2-6 3-1 4-8 5-7 6-2 7-5 8-4
Direct Ethernet operation
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=56) (DMX address=29) (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 xture IP addresses) NET mask: 255.0.0.0

Ethernet / DMX operation
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=57 DMX address=29 (DMX address=1) IP addres=002.168.002.002 Universe=0
DMX address=217 DMX address=29 (DMX address=1) IP addres=002.168.002.003 Universe=1
