3.2 Lamp adjustment
The SPICA 250M lamp holder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences 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 centre 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 screw "A" until the light is evenly distributed.
If the light on the edge seems to be brighter as in the centre, 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.
3.3 Inserting/Exchanging gobos
To insert the gobos open the top cover of the head by loosening the 2 Phillips screws on the top op plastic
cover.
If you wish to use other forms and patterns as the standard-gobos, or if gobos are to be exchanged,
please follow the instructions below:
Rotating gobo-wheel
Remove the fixation-ring with an appropriate tool. Remove the gobo and insert the new gobo. Press the

3.5 DMX 512 connections
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.
The wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the
fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Occupation of the XLR-connection
DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-socket: XLR mounting-plug:
1 - Ground
2 - Signal (-)
3 - Signal (+)
1 - Ground
2 - Signal (-)
3 - Signal (+)
If you are using the standard 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 Ohm
resistor between Signal (ñ) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the
last fixture.
4. Rigging the fixture
The SPICA 250M can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss
without altering its operation characteristics (see the drawing).
The fixtures base enables to be mounted in two ways. Use the clamps with screws M10 - check
the base bottom.

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!
5. Addressing
The control board on the front panel of the SPICA 250M allows you to assign the DMX fixture
address, which is defined as the first channel from which the SPICA 250M will respond to the
controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the SPICA 250M 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 SPICA 250M
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more SPICA 250M´s are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address setting follow this procedure
1. Switch On the SPICA 250M and wait until the fixture reset has finished ("rSt" is flashing at the
display).
2. Press the [Mode] key in order to access the main menu. Browse through the menu by pressing the
[Up] and [Down] keys until the display shows "A001". Confirm by pressing [Enter] key and the letter
"A" will flash.
3. Use the [Up] and [Down] keys to select the desired address.
4. Confirm by pressing [Enter] or [Mode] to cancel.
Controlling
After having addressed all SPICA 250M, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note:
After switching on, the SPICA 250M will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.

5Star Systems – Spica 250M – User manual
Tel: [phone]
15
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 Spica
250M
- the controller is switched off or defective, if 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) in the last lighting in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
6. Remotely controllable functions
6.1 Lamp
The SPICA 250M is run with a MSD 250W/200W lamp.
A relay inside of the SPICA 250M allows you to switch On and Off the lamp via itself control board
on the front panel or via your controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
6.2 Switching on and off the lamp by Control board
1. Switch On the SPICA 250M and wait until the fixture reset has finished.
2. Press the [Mode] key in order to access the main menu. Browse through the menu by pressing the
[Up] and [Down] keys until the display shows "LAMP". Confirm by pressing [Enter] key.
3. Use the [Up] and [Down] keys to select "On" for switch On the lamp and "Off" for switch Off the
lamp and press [Enter] to confirm or [Mode] to cancel.
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 SPICA 250M will store this information
and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has expired. The message "HEAt" will
appear on the control board display at the back side of the SPICA 250M. 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.
6.3 Colour wheel
The SPICA 250M features a colour-wheel with 9 colour 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 continuously at different speeds - the so-called "Rainbow effect”
is created.
6.4 Rotating gobo wheel
The rotating gobo-wheel includes 5 metal gobos in both directions, indexable, rotating gobo wheel cont.
rotation slow to fast. The gobos have an outside diameter of 37 mm and an image diameter of 29 mm.

6.6 Focus
Motorized focus enables the beam to be focused anywhere on stage.
6.7 Dimmer/Shutter/Strobe
Smooth 0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the combined mechanical dimmer/shutter unit. This unit may
also be used for strobe effect (1 - 10 flashes per second)
6.8 Fan
The SPICA 250M is cooled by two axial fans - one each in the projector head and one in the base.
The speed of the fan (and of course the noise) can be continuously reduced if very quiet performance
is required.
By the Control Board using the "FAnS" function you can choose 4 types of low fan speed operating:
1. "HIGH" - high (max.) speed of fans
The cooling fans work on max. speed (max. cooling)
2. "rEG" - continuous controlling of the fan speed
the fan automatically raises its speed in order to control inside temperature of the lighting, if the
temperature inside increases about certain level (the low fan speed reduces the cooling of the lighting).
This cycle can repeat several times until the temperature inside is on suitable level.
3. "LoOF" - low speed/Switch Off the lamp operating
the fan keeps the adjusted low speed until the temperature exceeds max. inside temp. then the
SPICA 250M automatically switches Off the lamp.
4. "LoHI" - low/high speed of the fan operating
the fan keeps the adjusted low speed until the temperature exceeds max. inside temp. of the fixture,
then the SPICA 250M automatically switch from low to high the fan speed.
7. Control Board
The control board situated on the front panel of the SPICA 250M offers several features. You can
simply set the lighting address, read the number of lamp or unit hours, switch On and Off the lamp, run
test show, make a reset and also use special functions for manual, demo and service purposes.
