4.6 Rigging the xture
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the respective national norms during the installation!
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 qualications, 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 inammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 1 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
Page 10

4.7 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.Up to 32 xtures can may
be connected on a serial link.
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.

4.8 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 identies any node (xture) on a network.
The Universe is a single DMX 512 frame of 512 channels.
The ColorWash 750E AT Tungsten Tungsten 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.

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.

6. 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.
6.1 DMX addressing
The control panel on the front panel of the xture allows you to assign the DMX xture address, which is dened
as the rst channel from which the ColorWash 750E AT Tungsten will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 24, the ColorWash 750E AT Tungsten will use the channel 24
to 47 for control (if DMX mode 3 is selected).
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each ColorWash 750E AT
Tungsten correctly and independently from any other xture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more ColorWash 750E AT Tungsten have the same addresses,they will work equally.
For address setting, please refer to the instructions under "Fixture Address".
Controlling:
After having addressed all ColorWash 750E AT Tungsten , you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note:After switching it on, the ColorWash 750E AT Tungsten 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 "A001" with actu-
ally set address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 pin (5pin) XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the ColorWash 750E AT Tungsten
- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swaped
in the input connector.
6.2 Remotely controllable functions
Lamp
The ColorWash 750E AT Tungsten Tungsten is to be operated with a Philips 750W/80V halogen lamp.
An electronic dimming unit inside of the ColorWash 750E AT Tungsten allows you to switch on and off the lamp
via the control panel (menu "Manual Mode-->Manual Effect Control-- >El.Dimmer) or via your DMX controller
(channel Electronic dimmer-->255 DMX).
Note:To reduce the risk of lamp failure ,replace the lamp when it reaches the limit of its average service life
Hours of lamp use /number of lamp cycles are logged and can be read in the xture´s display.
CMY colour mixing system
The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan, magenta, and yellow colour lters. A continuous
range of colors may be achieved by varying the amount of each lter from 0 to 100%.
Colour temperature correction ltre increases the colour temperature from 3300 K to 8000 K.
Effect wheel
This wheel contains a rotating indexable beam shaper.
Zoom
Motorized zoom unit enables zoom between 8° and 45° beam angle.
Mechanical dimming
0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the combined mechanical dimmer/shutter system. This system may also be
used for variable strobe effects and random or variable pulse effects.
Electronic dimming
The internal electronic dimming system provides very smooth dimming.

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
Page 28
28
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.
9. Power down mode
This mode omits xture reset after switching the xture on and lowers motor powers of the xture.”Power down
mode” is useful in special cases e.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 “Power down 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 “Power down 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 off ,but if you want to go directly to “normal operation mode”,execute any xture reset.
Note:All motors (except pan and tilt motors) in “Power down mode” are deactivated and switching the lamp
on from the control panel is blocked.
10. RDM
This xture is ready for 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 conguration 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 specications
for DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive
messages from specic moving lights.
RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.

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 signicantly 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 Fresnel lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-uid tends to building up residues, reducing the
light output very quickly. Remove dust and dirt from the fans and cooling vents using a soft brush and vacuum-
-cleaner. The interior of the xture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
Dichroic colour lters, CMY ags and an internal lens should be cleaned monthly.
Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized distributors.
Important! Check the air lters periodically and clean before they become
clogged!
Clean the air lters with a vacuum cleaner, compressed air or you can wash them and put back dry.
Replacing the air lters in the xture head.
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 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--->
