DANGER!
Install/change the gobo-wheel with the device switched off only.
4.2 Lamp
PHILIPS MSD Platinum 16R 330W
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.
7

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.

6. Control By Universal DMX Controller
6.1 DMX Connections
unit 1 unit 2 unit3 unit 4
DMX 输出
DMX 512 控台
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.
18

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 Channel Mode Setting
Enter menu mode, select DMX Functions, press the ENTER button to confirm, use the UP/DOWN
button to select Mode, press the ENTER button to confirm, present channel mode will blink on the
display, use the UP/DOWN button to select 21 Channel or 19 Channel Mode, and press the ENTER
button to store. Press the MENU button back to the last menu or let the unit idle one minute to
exit menu mode.
6.3 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 Functions, 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
1 to 512, press the ENTER button to store. Press the MENU button back to the last menu or let the
unit idle one minute to exit menu mode.
