Warning
Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason, when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. It is estimated that a viable lifespan of 40,000 to 50,000 hours will be achieved
under normal operational conditions. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing
for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.

Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows of two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together, you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable,
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.

Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the first
channel with which the XS-2 Dual Beam will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller and set the XS-2 to maximum settings, the unit has 20 channels.
When using multiple Dual Beams, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first XS-2 should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second XS-2
should be 1+20=21 (021); the DMX address of the third XS-2 should be 21+20=41 (041), etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each fixture correctly.
If two or more fixtures are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all the fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the XS-2 Dual Beam will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received
or not.
If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the LED on the control panel will not flash.
If not, the problem may be:
• The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the XS-2.
• The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.

Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must
not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Showtec XS-2 Dual Beam requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and
then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and
a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the lightoutput very quickly.
The cooling-fans, color-wheel, the gobo wheel, the gobos and the internal lenses should be cleaned
monthly, with a soft brush.
Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections
with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying
electric power.
Replacing a Fuse
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out.
If the fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below:
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the
fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below.
01) Unplug the unit from electric power source.
02) Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Turn the screwdriver to the left, at the same
time gently push a bit (Turn and Push). The fuse will come out.
03) Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
04) Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to
use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.

Troubleshooting
No Light
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems. If a problem occurs, carry out the steps
below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following
steps.
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Response: Suspect three potential problem areas as: the power supply, the LEDs, the fuse.
01) Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The LEDs. Return the XS-2 Dual Beam to your Showtec dealer.
03) The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 28 for replacing the fuse.
04) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
05) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Galactic, as this may
damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
06) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
No Response to DMX
Response: Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card
malfunction.
01) Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct.
02) Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power.
Try your DMX control again.
03) Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with
other DMX products? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light
effect to a qualified technician
See next page for more problem solving.

Problem
Probable cause(s)
Solution
One or more
fixtures do not
function at all
No power to the fixture
• Check if power is switched on and
cables are plugged in
Primary fuse blown
• Replace fuse
Fixtures reset
correctly, but all
respond
erratically or not
at all to the
controller
The controller is not connected.
• Connect controller.
3-pin XLR Out of the controller
does not match XLR Out of the first
fixture on the link (i.e. signal is
reversed)
• Install a phase reversing cable
between the controller and the
first fixture on the link
Fixtures reset
correctly, but
some respond
erratically or not
at all to the
controller
Poor data quality
• Check data quality. If much lower
than 100 percent, the problem
may be a bad data link
connection, poor quality or
broken cables, missing termination
plug, or a defective fixture
disturbing the link
Bad data link connection
• Inspect connections and cables.
Correct poor connections. Repair
or replace damaged cables
Data link not terminated with 120
Ohm termination plug
• Insert termination plug in output
jack of the last fixture on the link
Incorrect addressing of the fixtures
• Check address setting
One of the fixtures is defective and
disturbs data transmission on the
link
• Bypass one fixture at a time until
normal operation is restored:
unplug both connectors and
connect them directly together.
• Have the defective fixture
serviced by a qualified technician
3-pin XLR Out on the fixtures does
not match (pins 2 and 3 reversed)
• Install a phase-reversing cable
between the fixtures or swap pin 2
and 3 in the fixture that behaves
erratically
Shutter closes
suddenly
The color wheel, gobowheel or a
gobo has lost its index position and
the fixture is resetting the effect
• Contact a technician for servicing
if the problem persists
No light or lamp
cuts out
intermittently
Fixture is too hot
• Allow the fixture to cool down
• Clean the fan
• Make sure air vents in control
panel and the front lens are not
blocked
• Turn up the air conditioning
LEDs damaged
• Disconnect the fixture and return it
to your dealer
The power supply settings do not
match local AC voltage and
frequency
• Disconnect fixture. Check settings
and correct if necessary
