DANGER!
Install the gobos with the device switched off only.
Unplug from mains before changing gobos!
CAUTION: Never unscrew the screws of the rotating gobo as the ball bearing will otherwise be
opened!
4.2 Light Source
Philips MSD Platinum 12R LL
Because of its high internal pressure, there might be a risk that the Discharge lamp would
explode during operation. The lamp emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the
eyes and skin. The high luminance of the arc can cause severe damage to the retina if you
take a close look at the lamp.
To protect the lamp, always turn off the lamp first (via control panel or DMX controller)
and let the unit run at least five minutes to cool down before switching off the mains
supply. Never handle the lamp or luminary when it is hot.
Do not touch the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp with denatured
alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
The lamp generates UV radiation. Never operate the lamp without appropriate shielding.
When lighting up, the lamp operates at high pressure and there is a slight risk of arc tube
rupture. The risk increases with age, temperature and improper handling of the lamp. Do not
use the lamp longer than its lifespan.
Make sure the lamp is located in the center of the reflector for the best projection.

4.3 Changing the Lamp
Do not use this lamp more than 6000 hours, using the lamp any longer than its set life could seriously
damage your unit. Periodically checking the lamp running time, when the lamp reaches the 6000 hour
mark, or close to it, we strongly suggest you switch the lamp out. Clear the RESET TIME after you have
replaced the lamp.
To replace the lamp:
1. Ensure that the fixture is detached from power and has cooled down completely. It is a good idea
to allow the fixture to run for 10 minutes after the lamp has been turned off, so that the cooling
fans have time to works.
2. Loosen the screws on the head of the fixture and open the fixture head covers.
3. Loosen the screw that holds the lamp in place. Unplug the leads of the lamp and lift the lamp out
of its recess, disconnect the lamp and connect a new lamp that must be the same type with the
old one. And then place the new lamp into the lamp recess.

Finally reinstall the head cover, fastening it securely before reapplying power.

6. Control By Universal DMX Controller
6.1 Connection
18C

1. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120-ohm 1/4W resistor
between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the
last unit.
2. Connect the unit together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the unit to the
input of the next unit. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y” cable. DMX 512 is a very
high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily
distort the signal and shut down the system.
3. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when one of
the units’ power is disconnected.
4. Each lighting unit needs to have a DMX address to receive the data by the controller. The address
number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
5. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
6. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin4, Pin5 not used.
6.2 Address Setting
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from 1 to 512
so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENU button to enter menu mode, select DMX Settings, press the ENTER button to confirm,
use the UP/DOWN button to select DMX Address, press the ENTER button to confirm, the present
address will blink on the display, use the UP/DOWN button to adjust the address from 001 to 512,
press the ENTER button to store. Press the MENU button back to the last menu or idling let the unit
idle one minute to exit menu mode.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units.
ATTENTION
Termination reduces signal errors and to avoid signal transmission problems and
interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal (Resistance 120 ohm 1/4W
between pin2 (DMX-) and pin3 (DMX+) of the last fixture).
