Claypaky SHADOW QS-ST HMI 1200 User manual

•Minimum distance of inflammable materials from any part of the fixture:
0.10 m (4”) for QS and HMI 1200 Basic versions.
The fixture may be mounted on surfaces rated normally inflammable.
IMPORTANT: For better and more reliable operation of the projector, the ambient
temperature must not exceed 35° C (95° F). Protection factor IP 20: the fixture is pro-
tected against penetration of solid bodies more than 12 mm (0.5”) in diameter (first
digit 2), but can be damaged by spray, jet, drip or rain water (second digit 0).

• Connecting to the electrical power supply
The operations described in this heading must be carried out by a licensed
electrician.
It is good policy to connect projectors to the power supply by way of dedicated
switches, so that each can be turned on and off individually from a remote station.
INSTALLING THE PR JECT R- SAFETY INF RMATI N

IMP RTANT: Read carefully. It is essential for the correct and safe use of
the equipment that erectors and operators should be fully conversant with
the information and instructions given in this manual.

• Unpacking
Open the wooden box, remove the projector from the packing and place it on a flat
horizontal surface. Unpack the standard accessories supplied with the equipment.
Inspect the lamp change label (1) on the projector cover and replace it with one of the
optional language versions if necessary.
Make ertain that the label is never removed, as it displays important safety
information.
• Initial assembly operations
Position the bracket (2) on the graduated plate (3) at the desired height, select the
required hole and insert the bushing (4), the chamfered washer (5) and the screw (6)
and tighten the assembly using the supplied Allen wrench.
The bracket can also be mounted on the top of the projector for truss mounting by
inverting the position of the graduated plate (3).
Position the support as desired and then secure it by tightening the knobs (7).
• Fitting the lamp
Refer to directions for replacement of the lamp given under heading 8 MAINTE-
NANCE.
• Installing the projector
The projector can be mounted in any position without its operating characteristics
being affected.
IMPORTANT: for ceiling installation secure the projector in the desired position by
means of the holes in the support. ecure preferably using two ø12 mm bolts with
nuts and lock washers.
Make certain that the anchorage is stable before positioning the projector.
• Minimum distance from target objects
The projector must be positioned in such a way
that objects struck by the beam are separated from
the fixture by at least the distance specified on the
lamp change sticker next to the symbol shown in
the figure on the right.
The projector is designed to operate at the voltage and frequency indicated on the
electrical data plate (8) affixed to the rear end.
Check that these two values correspond to the mains voltage and frequency.
IMPORTANT: the proje tor must be onne ted to a power supply ir uit having
a proper earth system (Class I applian e).

• Connecting the control signals
SHADOW BASIC followspots can be controlled only from the integrated control panel,
while SHADOW QS models can also be controlled from a remote external controller.
0-10V CONNECTION
When both the external 0-10V controller and the integrated control panel are con-
nected, the higher level signal assumes priority.

CAUTION. Possibly hazardous optical radia-
tion emitted from this product. Do not stare
at operating lamp. May be harmful to the eye.
Risk Group 2

To enable independent operation of several Shadow projectors each must be
assigned a unique address code. This procedure calls for the presence of an autho-
rized technician.
Projectors are wired up to the controller and one to the next using two-core screened
cable and Cannon 5 pin XLR type plug/socket connectors.
To connect a DMX line, a terminating plug (9) with a 100 Ω resistor wired between
pins 2 and 3 must be fitted to the last projector connected in series; the plug is not
required when using an RS232/423(PMX) signal.
The wires must not ome into onta t with ea h other or with the metal asing
of the plug.
The asing of the plug/so ket must be onne ted to the s reen and to pin 1 of
the onne tors.

• Changing the lamp
Open the projector, loosen the two
side nuts (20) of the lamp to be
changed and remove it from the sup-
ports (21). Remove the new lamp from
its box, loosen the two side nuts (20)
and locate the lamp in the supports
(21). Finally, retighten the nuts.
• Changing the colour filters
Having opened the projector,
identify the filter to be
changed, grip firmly between
thumb and forefinger and push
against the spring clip (23)
until free of the fixed clips (24).
Bend the filter outwards and
remove.
Offer the new filter to the
spring clip (23) and anchor
behind the two fixed clips (24).
IMPORTANT: for uniform distribution of
the light beam, the lamp must be posi-
tioned so that the glass pip (22) on the
bulb does not coincide with the optical
axis of the projector. With this in mind,
locate the pip as high up as possible.
CAUTION: The proje tor uses a high pressure lamp with external starter.
- When fitting a new lamp, read the manufa turer's instru tions arefully.
- The lamp must always be hanged without delay if damaged or deformed by
heat.

• Installing wide angle lenses
Remove the projector front
cover. Unscrew knobs (25),
rotate the front lens plate (26)
from the parking position to
the operating position in
alignment with the projector
axis and then perform the
same operation with the rear
lens plate (27).
Refit the knobs and secure
the two lens plates.
• Lubrication of sliding contact
parts - QS LT
To ensure perfect operation of sliding con-
tact parts of the projector, lubricate spar-
ingly at 6-monthly intervals using ernite
Lube- -AC grease.

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: isolate the projector from the electrical power supply before com-
mencing maintenance work of any description.
The maximum temperature on the outer surface of the projector under normal
operating conditions is 90°C (194° F) for Q and Basic HMI 1200 versions, and
80°C (176° F) for the Basic HMI 575 version.
After switching off, do not remove any part of the projector for at least 10 minutes, as
indicated on the lamp change label (1).
Once this time has elapsed, the risk of a lamp exploding is practically zero. If the lamp
needs changing, wait a further 20 minutes to avoid the risk of burns. In the event of a
lamp exploding, the projector is designed to prevent fragments of glass from being
scattered. The lenses supplied with the projector must be fitted at all times, and if vis-
ibly damaged must be replaced promptly with genuine spares.
• pening the projector
Loosen knob (16) to remove the lamp access cover (17) or loosen knob (18) to
remove the front cover (19). Once the necessary work has been completed, refit the
cover and tighten with the relative knob.

Parts that need cleaning frequently.
Parts that need cleaning monthly.
Internal components should also be given a general clean once a year, dislodging
dust and dirt with a brush and removing it simultaneously with a vacuum cleaner.
• Routine cleaning
To maintain the light output of the projector undiminished, parts that tend to accu-
mulate dust and grease must be cleaned periodically.
In most circumstances, the projector will give long and trouble-free service if these
simple guidelines are followed.
To remove dirt from the lenses and filters, use a soft cloth moistened with any liq-
uid detergent suitable for cleaning glass.
