1. Safety
To prevent personal injury
• When power is supplied to the device, the device starts a homing procedure which includes a movement of the head.
• To reduce the lamp heat of the projector head, switch the device first to standby and let the projector lamp cool down for at least
5 minutes. Then the device may be disconnected from the power outlet.
• Isolated electrically before re-lamping. Caution : hot lamps.
• The customer should never attempt to disassemble the lamp casing. See "Recycling guidelines", page 6 for more information
about handling a used lamp.
• To prevent injury and physical damage, always read this manual and all labels on the system before inserting the lamp casing,
connecting to the wall outlet or adjusting the projector.
• To prevent injury, take note of the weight of the projector. Minimum 2 persons are needed to lift up the device. No twist is
allowed. When lifting out of the flight case, a 3rd person has to push away the flight case while the first 2 are lifting up the
device.
• To prevent injury, ensure that the lens and all cover plates are correctly installed. See installation procedures.
• Warning: high intensity light beam. NEVER look into the lens ! High luminance could result in injury to the eye.
• Before attempting to remove any of the device’s covers, you must disconnect from the wall outlet.
• When performing setup work to a ceiling mounted device, to prevent injury caused by falling objects or the system, set out a
keep out area.
• Consult a professional structural engineer prior to suspending the device from a structure not intended for that use. Always
ensure that the working load limit of the structure can handle the load of the device.
• The power input at the base of the device is considered as the disconnect device. When required to switch off the device, to
access parts inside, always disconnect the power cord at the base of the device. In case the power input at the base of the
device is not accessible (e.g. ceiling mount), the socket outlet supplying the device shall be installed nearby the device and be
easily accessible, or a readily accessible general disconnect device shall be incorporated in the fixed wiring.
• Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage to it and
possible injury to the user.
• When mounting the device to the ceiling or to a rigging system, always mount security chains.
• It is hazardous to operate without lens or shield. Shields, lenses or utra-vilolet screens shall be changed if they have become
visible damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired. For example by cracks or deep scratches.
•Mercury Vapor Warnings: Keep the following warnings in mind when using the projector. The lamp used in the projector
contains mercury. In case of a lamp rupture, explosion there will be a mercury vapor emission. In order to minimize the potential
risk of inhaling mercury vapors:
- Ensure the projector is installed only in ventilated rooms.
- Replace the lamp module before the end of its operational life.
- Promptly ventilate the room after a lamp rupture, explosion has occurred, evacuate the room (particularly in case of a preg-
nant woman).
- Seek medical attention if unusual health conditions occur after a lamp rupture, explosion, such as headache, fatigue, short-
ness of breath, chest-tightening coughing or nausea.
•Cooling liquid circuit. The device head contains a cooling circuit filled with Blue antifreeze diluted 1,2 ethanediol (1/3 ethane-
diol – 2/3 Demi water).
When the cooling circuit leaks, switch off the device and contact a service technician.
The liquid is not for household use. Keep out of reach of children. Harmful by oral intake. Avoid exposure to pregnant women.
Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid inhale of the noxious fumes.
•Restricted Access Location The DML must be installed in a Restricted Access Location, where access can only be gained
by persons who have been instructed about the reasons for the restriction applied to the location and about the precautions
that shall be taken.
Reasons for the applied restrictions: moving head in all directions, air outlet can reach high temperatures and light output may
cause eye injury when looking directly into the lens.
•Maximum temperature of enclosure : 90°C (194 °F)
To prevent device damage
• The DML has been designed for use with a specific lamp type. See installation instructions for its correct lamp type.
• If the air filters are not regularly replaced, the air flow inside the device (projector head and base) could be disrupted, causing
overheating. Overheating may lead to the device shutting down during operation.
• In order to ensure that correct airflow is maintained, and that the device complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
requirements, and for safety requirements, it should always be operated with all of it’s covers in place.
• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product
on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. The
device should not be placed in a built-in installation or enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
• The device must always be mounted in a manner which ensures free flow of air into its air inlets and unimpeded evacuation of
the hot air exhausted from its cooling system. Heat sensitive materials should not be placed in the path of the exhausted air.
Leave at least a free safety area of 2 meter (80”) around the projector head.
• Ensure that nothing can be spilled on, or dropped inside the device. If this does happen, switch off and unplug the mains supply
immediately. Do not operate the device again until it has been checked by qualified service technicians.

1.3 Important warnings concerning DML flight cases
Important warnings concerning stacking/transporting DML rental flight cases
• Stack maximum two (2) DML rental flight cases high. Never higher.
• The surface on which a flight case is standing must be level to ensure that the total load is evenly spread out among the four
wheels. The surface must also be able to support the load safely.
• Before stacking or transporting flight cases, check the wheels and their fixation screws for wear or defects.
• Before stacking or transporting flight cases, check that the six lock handles on each flight case are in good working order and
locked securely.
• When stacked, make sure the wheels of the upper flight case are precisely positioned in the stacking dishes of the flight case
below.
•Stackedflight cases may not be moved. Before stacking, the lower flight case must already be in its final resting position before
placing the second upon it.
• Never stack loaded flight cases in a truck or other transport medium, unless each flight case is rigidly strapped tight.
• In the event of a wheel breaking, flight cases must be rigidly strapped tight to prevent a stack collapsing.
• Use an appropriate forklift to raise flight cases and take the necessary precautions to avoid personnel injury.

• Projector air inlets and outlets
2.1 Installation requirements
Ambient temperature conditions
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for an operating DML-1200 may not exceed +40 ºC (+104 ºF).
The minimum allowed ambient temperature for an operating DML-1200 may not drop below +10 ºC (+50 ºF).
The projector will not operate if the ambient air temperature falls outside this range (+10 ºC →+40 ºC or +50 ºF →+104 ºF). Be
aware that room heat rises to the ceiling. Check if the temperature near the installation site is not excessive.
The minimum storage temperature is -35 ºC (-31 ºF) and the maximum storage temperature is +65 ºC (+149 ºF).
Humidity conditions
Storage: 0 to 98% relative humidity, non-condensing.
Operation: 0 to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing.
High Altitude
For an optimal performance of the DML-1200 at high altitude, make sure that sufficient air flow is available (maximum ambient
temperature 30°C).
Device weight
Do not underestimate the weight of one DML-1200, which is about ±75 kg (±166 lb.). Be sure that the table or truss installation on
which the device(s) has to be installed is capable of handling five (5) times the complete load of the complete system.
Power requirements
One DML-1200 requires 200-240 V,10A 50-60Hz
Clean air environment
A device must always be mounted in a manner which ensures the free flow of clean air into the projectors ventilation inlets. For
installations in environments where the projector is subject to airborne contaminants such as that produced by smoke machines or
similar (these deposit a thin layer of greasy residue upon the projectors internal optics and imaging electronic surfaces, degrading
performance), then it is highly advisable and desirable to have this contamination removed prior to it reaching the projectors clean
air supply. Devices or structures to extract or shield contaminated air well away from the projector are a prerequisite, if this is not a
feasible solution then measures to relocate the projector to a clean air environment should be considered.
Only ever use the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning kit which has been specifically designed for cleaning optical parts, never
use industrial strength cleaners on the projector’s optics as these will degrade optical coatings and damage sensitive optoelectronics
components. Failure to take suitable precautions to protect the projector from the effects of persistent and prolonged air contam-
inants will culminate in extensive and irreversible ingrained optical damage. At this stage cleaning of the internal optical units will
be noneffective and impracticable. Damage of this nature is under no circumstances covered under the manufacturer’s warranty
and may deem the warranty null and void. In such a case the client shall be held solely responsible for all costs incurred during any
repair. It is the clients responsibility to ensure at all times that the projector is protected from the harmful effects of hostile airborne
particles in the environment of the projector. The manufacturer reserves the right to refuse repair if a projector has been subject to
knowingly neglect, abandon or improper use.
2.2 Unpacking the device
About the flight case
The DML-1200 is shipped in a flight case specifically designed to protect the device during transport. Once the device has arrived at
the installation site, take it out of the flight case and inspect the outside of the complete device for physical damage to components.

3.3 Truss mounting of the DML-1200
CAUTION:Verify the truss or support if it can handle the combined weight of all the devices on the truss. If
necessary, consult a structural engineer.
WARNING:Before mounting, disconnect the power to the DML-1200. If it has been operating, allow to cool
for five minutes before handling.
Rigging points and rigging clamps
Four slots are longitudinally (A) oriented and four slots are transversely (B) oriented. Each slot contains a rigging point of which the
position in the slot can be adjusted depending on the size of the truss installation. The rigging clamps (C) can be attached to those
rigging points, which allows an easy and fast physical setup of the device in a hanging configuration. The 4 corners contains also
each a rigging point as well as 2 fixed positions in the middle of two sides.
