• Maximum ambient temperature
For the fitting to operate well and reliably, the ambient temperature should not exceed
35°C (95°F).
• IP20 protection rating
The fitting is protected against penetration by solid bodies with a diameter of over
12mm (0.47”) (first digit 2), but not against dripping water, rain, splashes or jets of
water (second digit 0).
• Protection against electrical shock
This fitting is classified, in accordance with the type of protection against electrical
shock, in Class I. It must therefore be connected to a power supply system with effi-
cient earthing.
It is, moreover, recommended to protect the supply lines of the projectors from indi-
rect contact and/or shorting to earth by using appropriately sized residual current
devices.
• Hooking up to the supply mains
The operations for connecting to the electricity mains must be carried out by a quali-
fied electrical installer.
Check that the mains frequency and voltage correspond to the frequency and voltage
for which the projector is designed, given on the electrical data label.
This label also gives the input power. Refer to this to evaluate the maximum number
of fittings to connect to the electricity line in order to avoid overloading.
• Unpacking
Open the cardboard box, take out
the polystyrene wrapping and sepa-
rate it, freeing the projector.
Remove the plastic bag from the
projector and position this on a hor-
izontal top.
• Packing contents
Besides the projector, the packing also
contains the following accessories:
- Safety rope code 105041/002 (1).
- Socket for mounting on cable code
030210 (2).
- This instructions manual
code 099509 (3).
- Multilingual labels (4) with safety
information code 081949/004 (located
in the lamp compartment of the
projector).

• Installation
Make sure all the parts for fixing the projector are in a good state of repair.
Make sure the point of anchorage is stable before positioning the projector.
The safety rope, properly hooked onto the fitting and secured to the framework, must
be installed so that, if the primary support system fails, the fitting falls as little as pos-
sible.If the safety rope gets used, it needs to be replaced with a genuine spare.
• Minimum distance of illuminated objects
The projector needs to be positioned so that the objects
hit by the beam of light are at least 1 metres (3’3”) from
the lens of the projector.
• Minimum distance of flammable materials
The projector must be positioned so that any flammable materials are at least 0.10
metres (4”) from every point on the surface of the fitting.
It is permissible to mount the fitting on normally flammable surfaces.
• Maintenance
Before starting any maintenance work or cleaning the projector, cut off power from the
supply mains.
After switching off, do not remove any parts of the fitting for 4 minutes.After this time
the likelihood of the lamp exploding is virtually null. If it is necessary to replace the
lamp, wait for another 15 minutes to avoid getting burnt.
The fitting is designed to hold in any splinters produced by a lamp exploding.The lens-
es must be mounted and, if visibly damaged, they have to be replaced with genuine
spares.
• Temperature of the external surface
The maximum temperature that can be reached on the external surface of the fitting,
in a thermally steady state, is 100°C (212°F).
• Lamp
The fitting mounts a high-pressure lamp with an external igniter.
- Carefully read the "operating instructions" provided by the lamp manufacturer.
- Immediately replace the lamp if damaged or deformed by heat.
The products referred to in this manual conform to the
European Community Directives to which they are subject:

The connection between the projector and the control unit and between different pro-
jectors must be made with cable conforming to the EIA RS-485 specifications: braid-
ed, bipolar, shielded, 120Ωof characteristic impedance, 22-24 AWG, low capacity.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a microphone cable or any other cable with different char-
acteristics to the ones specified above.
The terminations need to be made with male/female connectors type XLR with 5 pins.
If you use the DMX signal, on the last fitting it is necessary to add a terminal plug (12)
with a resistance of 120Ω(minimum 1/4W) between the terminals 2 and 3.
If using the RS232/423(PMX) signal, the terminal is not required
• Switching on the projector
After carrying out all the above operations, press the switch (13) checking that the
lamp comes on and the automatic resetting sequence starts.
• Projector coding
Every MINISCAN HPE occupies 7 control channels. For these to be correctly
addressed to each projector it is necessary to code the projectors.
This has to be done on each single MINISCAN HPE, switching the microswitches (14)
according to the following table. The coding can also be done with the projector
switched off.

PROJECTOR POSITIONING
4
• Light beam centring
After carrying out the operations
described, loosen the knobs (7), pro-
ceed by moving the projector on the
bracket (6) to position the beam of
light on the central point of the scene,
then lock the knobs (7).
On turning the TEST microswitch (15) onto the ON position, the projector runs a self-
check routine, during which the effects are mechanically reset, with the projector on.
At the end of the operation, or whenever you want to interrupt this procedure, turn the
TEST microswitch back onto OFF.
Whereas, on setting all the channels on level 0 (blackout), after an interval of 2 sec-
onds, the effects are re-calibrated, thanks to which it is possible, from the control unit,
to take back onto the correct position any motorized effects that during operation had
accidentally "lost step".
The entire re-calibration cycle lasts approximately 35 seconds and can be stopped at
any time by simply setting a channel at a level above 0.
Before proceeding, set the channels as shown in the following table.

• Periodical cleaning
To keep optimum efficiency and func-
tionality over time, it is vital to periodi-
cally clean the parts where dust and
grease can accumulate.
The frequency with which to carry out
the following operations depends on
several factors, such as hte number of
movements of the effects and the
quality of the work environment (air
humidity, dust, saltiness, etc.).
To remove dirt from the lenses and fil-
ters, use a soft cloth dampened with
any liquid detergent for cleaning glass.
Never use solvents or spirits.
Parts requiring frequent cleaning.
Parts requiring monthly cleaning.
Once a year it is recommended to
submit the projector to qualified tech-
nical personnel for non-routine main-
tenance consisting of at least the fol-
lowing operations:
- General cleaning of internal parts.
- Restoring lubrication of all parts
subject to friction, using lubricants
specifically supplied by Clay Paky.
- General inspection of internal com-
ponents, wiring, mechanical parts,
etc.
- Electrical, photometric and func-
tional tests.
- Any repairs.
