1. Installation of computer light.
Using eight M10 size bolts, through making use of bracket that
owned by computer light install. Make sure the firmness of
installation, in case swing or glide happen when it works. Each
weight of computer light is 20.5KG more or less. Before installation,
it should be ensure if frame can support the weight. For safety, a safe
chain should be through the side handle of lighting body.
Notice: please don’t use the die down yoke of computer light to rise,
to lower, and move it.
2. Installation of lamp.
loosen plastic body which locate in luffing structure of computer
lighting body, and strengthen screw of right-and-left cover shell, then
open the cover forth gently, at the tail of shine lamp, screw off four
coppery screw and move metallic gobo flag and heat guard of two
sides, then can replace lamp. When install it, please use 5R 200W
lamp. Pay attention to screw down the screw of two sides of lamp, or
it cause high voltage short circuit and discharge for poor contact. It
influence service life of lamp, and damage components of circuit
board. After finish it, please strengthen the metallic gobo flag and
heat guard of two sides of lamp firstly. Then using adhesive tape to
fold covering shell, and strengthen screws of right-and-left of it.
NSK light products are provided with high voltage modulator tube
what has exterior igniter. When operate these modulator tubes, it must
be careful, and should read the instruction of modulator tube that offer
by manufacturer before operation.
Warning 1: Don’t forget install metallic gobo flag and heat guard
that beside the lamp or thermal radiation is easy to bake the plastic
shell distortion. Seriously, it will raise fire alarm. Manufacturer will
not responsible for these losses.
Warning 2: Modulator tube will reach to a high temperature when
it works, and the trait of gas discharge lamp can not intermittent
power supply. It must cool at least 15 minutes to work again after
power supply cut off, or it will induce high pressure discharge, short

circuit, and even burn out parts of computer control panel.
3. Power supply.
Using appropriative plug connect computer light and power main
lead. Pay attention to consistent of voltage, frequency and supply
source of backboard of computer light. Suggest each computer light
to use a separate power supply, so each light can be turn on and turn
off at will.
Important matters:
Each computer light should be earthed and whole electro
assembling must accord with standard demand.
The power consumption of computer light is 280W.
Monitoring restoration system:
After computer light switch on power, circuitry will be install. This
function makes lamp cobra moving to a limiting position, and it will
turn interior color and superimposed wheel of pattern. Thus the
control system of microprocessor can login all place of electrical
machines which controlled by it. It will bring electric noise in
computer interior, when modulator tube damage or burnout. Maybe it
will disturb normal operation of MPU. computer light has an
electronic monitoring system that can watch operation of MPU, and
ensure that will start up reinstallation function when it is disturbed.
After it finish, computer light can accept new control instruction and
operate without a hitch.
4. Connection of control communication wire
Connection of controller and computer light or connection between
each computer light should use two-core shielded cable, and diameter
of each core should be o.5MM at least. When it joined in or come out,
it should be used cylindrical three-legged XLR plug and outlet which
L=Brown
E=Yellow/Green
N=Blue

supplied along with computer light. Connection of XLR can refer to
the list below. Attention: every line should not touch each other or
touch plug. computer light can accept data control signal of DMX512
(1990) format. Control signal connect with panel which earmarked
“DIGITAL IN”, then connect socket which earmarked “DIGITAL
THRU” with socket of next computer light which earmarked
“DIGITAL IN”. After receive signal of DMX512, the status lamps
close to switch of address code will fulgurate. Or it will extinguish. If
it always in shine, it means DMX signal is false.
Suggest to use DMX signal terminal, it can avoid the breakage of
data control signal. Cause by electric noise. In simple terms, DMX
terminal is a XLR linker in which has a 120Ω resistance between
two-legged and three-legged plug. And the resistance should be
connected with “DIGITAL THRU” socket of the last computer light
of computer light chain. The connection can refer to table below.
5. Corrective maintenance
If lens of computer light be damaged or broken, please replace a
new one, and the same to modulator tube. If light turn dark, it means
service life of modulator tube is up, should be replaced in time. The
old modulator tube can explode. When computer light works out of
order, fuse in back panel should be checked. Notice: If it need replace,
using same spec fuse that earmarked in back panel. In the computer

light, circuit board has a 3AT fuse. If the fuse has blown, it need
replaced by professional. Computer light also have two heat
protectors, they should cut off power supply when the temperature is
too high. If it happened, fan should be checked whether there is a
barrage or not. If fan is dirty, please switch on the power supply after
clean it. Examine operation of fans, if it doesn’t work, please mend it
by professional.
6. Cleanly maintenance
In order to computer light operate steadily, it should keep clean.
Suggest clean lighting body and fan every 15 days. Lens and dichroic
filter should be cleaned at stated time to assure the best light effect.
Don’t use any deliquescent cleaner to clean dichroic filter.
7. Warning
 Don’t dismounting or refit computer light.
 Don’t touch water and other kind of liquid and metal substance
(IP20).
Don’t install in a high wettest condition.
 Don’t illuminate on tinderbox, computer light must keep 5M away
from tinderbox.
 Computer light should keep 0.5M away the surface of adjacent
object.
 Don’t look beam in the face, or it may injure your eyes.
Notice: modulator tube will reach to a high temperature when it
works. It must be completely cool at least 15 minutes before operate
again.
8. Difficulty disposal
Problem The way to solve
Computer light can’t start. Check fuse of back-panel.
Though it shine, computer light
don’t accept dictate of control.
Check data startup address (see
section 5), and check connection
of communication control line

7
(see section 4).
Computer light works only in
intermittence.
Check fan, if it operate
normally.
Shadow has halo. Check the number of
electro-focus channels if it suit
current range of the projection.
Beam looks gray. Maybe service life of modulator
tube is over, it must be replaced.
Check optical component if it is
clean.
Lamp is not bright. 1. Because of improper
operation, lamp not
completely cool. The fan in
the lighting body must be
cool 10 minutes, cut off
power supply at least 5
minutes, makes internal
inductor renew completely,
then switch on power supply.
2. Check if service life of lamp
is over.
3. Check lamp and trigger line
if it is creepage,
desquamation or poor
contact.
Replace a new trigger.
