4. Installation

4.1Fitting the lamp

DANGER !

Install the lamps with the device switched off only .

Unplug from mains before !

To insert the lamp MSD 250 or MSD 250/2 open the top cover of the head (see the drawings to identify which
cover is top) by loosening the 4 Phillips scre ws on the front and rear sides of the top cov er.Then open the
small lamp cover by loosening 3 fastening screws (see the drawing).If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp
from the socket. Insert the lamp to the socket.Do not install a lamp with a higher wattage! A lamp like this
generates temperatures the device is not designed f or.Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to
warranty . Please f ollow the lamp manuf acturer‘s notes!Do not touch the glass-bulb bare hand during the
installation! Make sure that the lamp is installed tightly into the lampholder system.

4.2 Lamp adjustment

Correct Incorrect

The SPOT 250 XT lampholder is aligned at the factory. Due to diff erences between lamps , fine adjustment may
improve light performance.
Strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface (wall). As the optimum distance of lamp from lens was
adjusted during the installing or changing the lamp (by turning the screw "A"), it is necessary to adjust only the
second position by turning the screw "B", in order to center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam).
If the hot- spot seems to be too bright, you can lower its intensity by moving the lamp closer to the reflector. Do
so by turning srew "A" until the light is evenly distributed.
If the light on the edge seems to be brighter as in the center, the lamp is too close at the reflector . In this case, you
need to move the lamp away from the reflector until the light is evenly distributed and the beam appears bright
enough.

4.3 Installation of an optional lens

The device is delivered with a 15°-standard lens. If you wish to insert an optional 12° or 18°-lens (it is not the
standard part of delivery), please follow the instructions below:

Optional 12°-lens:

Remove the fixation-ring of the 15°-lens with an appropriate tool. Remove the lens. Install the optional 12°-lens
and fix it with the fixation-ring.

Keep optimum distance to lens

Optimum distance 1 - 1,5mm

Screw "A"

Screw "B"

Optional 18°-lens:

Unscrew the knurled-head screw on the plate of the light-output. Install the optional 18°-lens and fix it with the
knurled-head screw .

4.4 Inserting/Exchanging gobos

DANGER!

Install the gobos with the device switched off only .

Unplug from mains before!

T o insert the gobos open the top cover of the head b y loosening the 4 Phillips scre ws on the front and rear sides
of the top cover .
If you wish to use other forms and patterns as the standard-gobos, or if gobos are to be exchanged, please follow

4.5 Rigging the fixture

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.

Warning ! Use 2 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 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. Thi s
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 moving-head can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering
its operation characteristics (see the drawing).
Y ou can fix the Spot 250 XT on a truss via 2 Omega holders or using the mounting plate(it is not the standard part
of delivery) or screw the clamps directly to the 2 holes (5) in the base.
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 .

Fixation via 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 f asteners (3) into the holes of
the base and tighten fully clockwise.

4.6 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.

Verify the po wer supply settings before applying power!

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

1.Disconnect the fixture from AC power .

2.Remove the top base cover (closest to the power cord) by loosening the 6 screws.

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

4.Move the wires 2 and 3 on the ballast connection block to the position according to the desired frequency
(voltage).

5.Close the base before applying A C power .

4.7 Connection to the mains

Connect the fixture to the mains with the enclosed power cable and plug.
The earth has to be connected!

The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:

Cable (EU) Cable (US) Pin International

Brown Bl ack Live L
Light blue White Neutral N
Yellow/Green Green Earth

4.8 DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures

The wires must not come into contact with each other , otherwise

the fixtures will not work at all, or will not w ork properly .

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.

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 panel of the fixture allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined
as the first channel from which the SPOT 250 XT will respond to the controller .
If you set, for example , the address to channel 5, the SPOT 250 XT will use the channel 5 to 20 for control.
Please, be sure that you don’t hav e any overlapping channels in order to control each SPO T 250 XT correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more SPOT 250 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 SPOT 250 XT , y ou may no w start operating these via your lighting controller .
Note:After switching on, the SPOT 250 XT 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 SPOT 250 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 SPOT 250 XT is to be operated with a MSD/HSD 250 or MSD 250/2 GY-9,5 lamp.
A relay inside of the SPOT 250 XT allo ws you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel or via your DMX­controller 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 have 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 SPOT 250 XT will store this inf ormation and automatically ignite the lamp
when the 5 minutes period has expired. The message "HEAt" will appear on the control panel display of the SPO T
250 XT . If the ignition of the lamp is se ven times unsuccessful, on the displa y 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 SPOT 250 XT features a colour-wheel with 12 colour positions - 11 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 possib le to rotate
the color-wheel continuously at different speeds - the so-called "Rainbow effect“ is created.

Rotating gobo wheel

The rotating gobo-wheel includes 4 metal gobos, 1 glass gobo and 1 multicolour dichroic gobo rotating in both
directions, indexable, rotating gobo wheel cont. rotation slow to fast. The multicolour dichroic gobo (containing
C,M,Y colors) can be combined with the color-wheel especially with cyan, magenta and yellow colours in order to
obtain several different multicolour beams.

3-facet rotating prism

3-facet prism rotating in both directions at different speeds.

16

Focus

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

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 SPOT 250 XT is cooled b y three axial fans - two in the projector head and one in the base. The speed of the
fans (and of course the noise) can be continuously reduced if very quiet performance is required.
By the control panel using the "F AnS" function you can choose 5 types of the f an speed operating modes .

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,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 s witched 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 bac k their programs.The number of running progr am is the same in all
slaves and depends on the master's choice (menu "St.AL." ).Ev ery 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 before it completes all its prog.steps
(slave 2 - prog.step 5 will not be pla yed)- see the picture bello w .

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 data 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 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.
Please refer to the instructions under "Fitting/Exchanging the lamp".
Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.

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:

1) Unscrew the fuseholder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anti-

clockwise).

2) Remove the old fuse from the fuseholder .

3) Install the new fuse in the fuseholder .

4) Replace the fuseholder in the housing and fix it.
