3. INSTALLATION
DANGER: Install the lamp with the device switched off or unplug
from mains!
3.1. LAMP FITTING/REPLACING
Open the small lamp cover by loosening 3 screws. Open the small back cover
at the back panel from the lighting, and gently pull the lamp out. If you want to
change the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket.
Do not install the lamp with a higher wattage! If so, the lamp will generate high
temperatures, and the device is not designed for that case.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty. Please
follow the lamp manufacturer’s announcement! Do not touch the glass bulb
bare handed during the installation. Make sure that the lamp is installed tightly
into the lamp holder. Reinstall the top cover of the head and tighten those 4
screws.
The brightness of the lighting has been aligned at the factory. Due to the diffe-
rence between lamps, ne adjusted may improve light performance.
Strike the lighting, open the grating and the diaphragm, adjust the brightness
to 100%, and then focus the light on a at surface (e.g. on a wall). Through
using three “A/B/C” adjusting screws, you can make the light focus on the hot
spot (the brightest of the light line). Rotate one screw once to drag the hot spot
through projectile shadow in the direction of diagonal.
If you cannot nd the hot spot, adjust the lamp until the light line is even.
Through adjusting three “A/B/C” screws at the same time and rotate 1/4 rotate
until the light line distribute equably then pull the lamp into, doing so can reduce hot spot.
If the light in the edge is brighter than in the center, or the light output is very
low, it means the lamp is too back at the reecting shelf. Through adjusting
three “A/B/C” screws at the same time and rotate 1/4 rotate to push out the
lamp until the light is bright and distribute equably.
3.3. RIGGING AND HOOK:
10
Page 11
ENGLISH
MHL-200 User’s manual
Pay attention to the safety! Please respectively consider the EN
60598-2-17 and the national standard during the installation. The
authorized dealer must only carry out the installation.
The installation of the xture has to be built and constructed in a way that it
can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming demolishment.
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, de-rigging 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 the safety measure
and the machine’s technical installation is approved by an expert before taking
into operation for the rst time and after changes before taking into operation
anther time. He has also to make sure that an expert approves safety measu-
re and the machine’s technical installation once a years.
not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional
structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury or
property loss.
If the xture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The xture must never be xed swinging freely
in the room. Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a
minimum point load of 10 times the projector’s weight.
The moving-head light can be placed directly on the oor or rigged in any
orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics. There are
two possibilities to x the base of the lighting. Use the rigging clamp to merge
M10 or M12 screw – please check the base.
For overhead use, always install a safety rope that can hold at least 10 times
the weight of the xture.

ved by an expert.
4.2. DMX-512 CONNECTION
The wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the xtures
will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Only use a stereo-shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order
to control with the xture or one xture with another.
DMX use of XLR connectors
1 = Ground / Shield
2 = DMX +
3 = DMX -
INPUT
OUTPUT
If you are using the recommended 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-output, you
need to use adapter-cables.
4.3. 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.
A word on termination: DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however
errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and therefore best practices include use of a terminator in all circumstances. If you are
experiencing problems with erratic xture behavior, especially over long signal
cable runs, a terminator may help improve performance.

7. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
The operator must make sure that correlative safety equipment and an expert
inspects machine’s technical installations after every four years in the course
of an acceptance test.
The operator must make sure that correlative safety equipment and machine’s
technical installations are inspected by a skilled technician once a year.
The following points need to be considered during the inspection:
1. All screws used for installing the devices have to be tightly connected and
must not be corroded.
2. There cannot be any deformations on housing, xations and installation
spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
19

MHL-200 User’s manual
3. Mechanically moved parts like axles, eyes and others must not show any
traces of wearing (e.g. material abrading or damages) and must not rerate
with unbalances.
4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damages, material fa-
tigue (e.g. porous cables) or sediments. Further instructions depending on
the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and
any safety problems have to be removed.
Danger! High power! Danger to life!
Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation!
We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use moist ax to
clean. Never use alcohol or solvents.
CAUTION! The lens has to be replaced when it is obviously dama-
ged, so that its function is impaired, e.g. due to cracks or deep scratches!
The objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke uid 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 brash. The interior of the xture should
be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum cleaner or an air-jet.
The dichroic color lters, the gobo-wheel and the internal lenses should be
cleaned monthly.
To 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. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers. Please refer to the “inserting and exchanging lamp” chapter in
this manual.
