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
7
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.

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
aat surface (wall) using either DMX controller or function
„Lamp adjustment” in „Special functions menu”.
3. Center a hot spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the
three
adjustment screws “A, B, C” (4 mm Allen screws). Turn
one screw by one screw to drag the hot-spot, diagonally across
the projected image. If you cannot detect the 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
reector. „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.

4.6 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
10
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 xation 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 sys-
tem.
When installing xtures side-by-side,
avoid illuminating one xture with another!

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.
