4.4 Connection to the mains

Verify the po wer supply settings before applying power!

Connect the scanner to the mains with the enclosed power plug.If you need to install other power plug on the power cable,f ollow the identification table be low . The earth has to be connected!

The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:

Cable (EU) Cable (US) Pin International

Brown B lack Live L Light blue White Neutral N Yellow/Green Green Earth

Do not connect the scanner to a dimmer system!

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 on the front panel of the scanner.

If you want to change the power supply settings,follow the instructions:

1.Disconect the scanner from AC power .Remov e the small voltage/frequency selection panel on the front scanner panel by loosening the 2 screws.

2.Move the wires on the transformer/ballast connection block to the desired position:

T ransf ormer terminals

Ballast terminals

Master/slave operation

Controller operation

4.5 DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures

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:

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 W 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.

channel channel channel

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.

6.1DMX addressing

The control panel allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel from which the SCAN 1200 XT will respond to the controller. If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the SCAN 1200 XT will use the channel 5 to 20 for control. Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each SCAN 1200 XT correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three or more SCAN 1200 XT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly. For address setting, please refer to the instructions under "Addressing"(menu "A001").

Controlling:

After having addressed all SCAN 1200 XT , you may no w start operating these via your lighting controller. Note:After switching on, the SCAN 1200 XT 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 "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 SCAN 1200 XT

- 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 SCAN 1200 XT is to be operated with a HMI/MSI 1200 lamp. A relay inside of the SCAN 1200 XT allows you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel on the front panel or via your controller without affecting the rest of the lighting. To switch On/Off the lamp, please ref er to "Switching On/Off the lamp " (menu "LAMP"). Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they hav e to be cold before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait 5 minutes (max. speed of fan must be adjusted) 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 SCAN 1200 XT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has expired. The messag e "HEAt" will appear on the control panel display of the SCAN 1200 XT. 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 SCAN 1200 XT has two colours wheels both with 9 color positions - 8 of these with dichroic colors and the last one open.The wheel can be positioned between two adjacent colors in any position. It is also possible to rotate the color wheel 1 continuously at different speeds „Rainbow effect“. Hot and cold colour temperature filters(3200K and 5600K) are situated on the colour wheel 2. By color macro function it is possible to obtain 64 different colours in following order: white, pink, magenta, red, orange, yellow , green, cy an, blue , UV

Static gobo wheel

This wheel has 5 metal gobos + open position, all gobos are interchangeable. Gobo wheel rotation from slow to fast can be also adjusted.

Rotating gobo wheel

2 metal gobos, 1 glass gobo and 1 dichroic gobo rotating in both dirrections, indexable.

Iris

Motorized iris for different beam diameters

Effect wheel

3-facet prism, 5-facet prism and 5-linear facet prism rotating in both directions at different speed are situated at the special effect wheel. Also wash light is provided by the special effect wheel.

Focus - multistep zoom

Motorized focus enables the beam to be focused anywhere on stage at different beam angles: 15°, 21°, 28°, provided by the special multistep zoom (3 steps).

Dimmer/Shutter/Strobe

Smooth 0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the combined mechanical dimmer/shutter unit. This unit ma y also be used for strobe effect (1 - 10 flashes per second)

Fans

The SCAN 1200 XT is cooled by an axial fan situated at the rear side of the lighting. The speed of the fan (of course the noice) can be continuously reduced if very quiet performance is required. By the control board using the "F AnS" function you can choose 5 types of the f an speed oper ating mode.

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 SLA.1SLA.9 and on the certain slave address can be connected only one fixture.To set t he fix ture a s the master or slave , see the "Addressing" (menu "A001"). 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.

If the master fixture runs a reset,switches On/Off the lamp or plays test(program) ,all slaves will execute these acts too (e.g. if the master fixture has switched the lamp off,no slaves can switch the lamp on)! Y ou can't play or edit any pr ograms on the slaves by their control panels if the master is switc hed on and connected to the master/slave chain. Note:Disconect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating ,otherwise data collisions can

occur and the fixtures will not work properly! 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.

From the master's control panel is possib le to control any sla v e in a master/sla v e chain.

11. 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 mirror and objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing the light-output very quickly . The cooling-f an should be cleaned monthly.

The gobos may be cleaned with a soft brush. The interior of the projector 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.
