On conclusion of resetting in case of absence of the dmx signal, Pan and Tilt move to the “Home” position (Pan 128 bit - Tilt 128 bit). The control panel
(Fig. 8) has a display and buttons for the complete programming and management of the projector menu. The display can be in one of two conditions:
rest status and setting status. When it is in the rest status, the display shows the projector’s DMX address.
During menu setting status, after a wait time (about 30 seconds) without any key having been pressed, the display automatically returns to rest status.
It should be noted than when this condition occurs, any possible value that has been modified but not yet confirmed with the
F
key will be cancelled.

Use a cable conforming to specifications EIA RS-485: 2-pole twisted, shielded, 120Ohm characteristic impedance, 22-24 AWG, low capacity. Do not use
microphone cable or other cable with characteristics differing from those specified. The end connections must be made using XLR type 5-pin male/female
connectors. A terminating plug must be inserted into the last projector with a resistance of 120Ohm (minimum 1/4 W) between terminals 2 and 3.
IM ORTANT: The wires must not make contact with each other or with the metal casing of the connectors. The casing itself must be connected to the
shield braid and to pin 1 of the connectors.

eriodical cleaning - Fig. 12
To ensure optimal operation and performance for a long time it is essential to periodically clean the parts subject to dust and grease deposits.
The frequency with which the following operations are to be carried out depends on various factors, such as the amount of the effects and the quality
of the working environment (air humidity, presence of dust, salinity, etc.).
Use a soft cloth dampened with any detergent liquid for cleaning glass to remove the dirt from lenses and filters. It is recommended that the projector
undergoes an annual service by a qualified technician for special maintenance involving at least the following operations:
•General cleaning of internal parts.
•Restoring lubrication of all parts subject to friction, using lubricants specifically supplied by Claypaky.
•General visual check of the internal components, cabling, mechanical parts, etc.
•Electrical, photometric and functional checks; eventual repairs.
