approximate lamp life 2000 hours
To access the lamp, you should proceed as described in sections 17 of this manual.
MSD are part of the mercury vapour family of discharge lamps and must be handled with great care. the lamp operates at high pres-
sure, and the slight risk of explosion of the lamp exists if operated over its recommended life.
We recommend, therefore, that the lamp be replaced within the manufacturer’s specified lamp life.
1) Locate the lamp assembly and, using a Philips head screwdriver, loosen the three screws (C) which affix the assembly.
2) Remove the lamp assembly (D).
3) Locate the lampholder (E)
4. Lamp: installation and replacement

4) Insert the lamp into the lampholder (E).
The lamp used is manufactured from quartz glass and should be handled with care. Always adhere to the instructions supplied in
the lamp’s packaging. Do not touch the glass directly, handle the lamp through the protective film provided in the box.The GY 9,5
lampholder is asymmetrical in construction, with one pin larger than the other. Ensure that the pins are correctly aligned with the
appropriate socket. DO NOT USE UNDUE FORCE. Incase of difficulty, re-read the instructions and repeat the procedure.
5) Replace the lamp assembly into its original position and replace
and retighten the screws
The fixture may operate at voltages ranging from 100-115-208, 230 or 240V .at 50 or 60 Hz; coemar factory presets (barring spe-
cific requests), a voltage of 230v and a frequency of 50 Hz. This preset is indicated on the sticker located on the base of the projec-
tor, as indicated in the following diagram.
If the specified voltage and frequency do not match those of the country in which you are operating, follow the instructions in sec-
tion 17 of this manual. “Altering the operating voltage and frequency”
Incorrect voltage and frequency selection will detrimentally affect the operation of the projector and will
automatically void the warranty.

cabling
The mains cable provided is thermally resistant, complying to the most recent international standards.
NB: In case of cable replacement, similar cable with comparable thermal resistant qualities must be used exclusively (cable 3x1.5 ø exter-
nal 10 mm, rated 300/500V, tested to 2KV, operating temperature -40° +180°. coemar cod. CV5309).
mains connection
iCyc 250 can operate at voltages from 100V-115V-208V-230V-240V at 50 or 60Hz (operating voltage and frequency can be selec-
ted as described in section 6 and 18 of this manual). Prior to connecting the unit to your mains supply, ensure that the model in
your possession correctly matches the mains supply available to you.
For connection purposes, ensure your plug is of a suitable rating:
at 230 V: 2 Amps on startup, 1,6 amps constant draw in normal operation
a 115 V: 4,2 Amps on startup, 3,2 amps constant draw in normal operation
Locate the mains cable which exits the base of the unit and connect as shown below:
protection
The use of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker is recommended for each iCyc 250.
A good earth connection is essential for the correct operation of the fixture. Strict adherence to regulatory norms is strongly recom-
mended.

iCyc 250 may operate in 3 different modes:
8.1 Automated operation
8.2 Using DMX 512 signal
8.3 Synchronising iCyc 250 without DMX 512 signal.
Follow the instructions below which relate to your particular application:
8.1 Automated operation “solo”
iCyc 250 may operate in stand alone mode in the absence of control signal, using pre-programmed colour
changing sequence which can be activated by the multi-function panel on the unit.
No incoming signal to the XLR3 sockets should be connected and these sockets may be isolated by disconnecting.the internal ter-
minals labelled DMX IN and DMX OUT. We recommend that the XLR 3 sockets be isolated by using suitably sheathed weather-proof
dummy plugs.
8.2 Using DMX 512 signal
Control signal is digital, and is transmitted via two pair screened ø0.5mm cable.
Connection is serial, utilising the XLR 3 sockets located on the base of the iCyc 250.
coemar supplies with the unit XLR 3 connectors with an IP 67 protection rating; use only similar plugs for the connection of signal
to the unit, thereby ensuring that the protection rating of the unit is maintained.
coemar code for the IP 67 rated XLR3 socket is ME 34
coemar code for the IP 67 rated XLR3 plug is ME 35
We recommend isolating the XLR 3 socket which terminates you dmx daisy chain.
To isolate the connector (which is the only one without a plug inserted) you may internally disconnect the cabling from the socket
indicated by the DMX OUT sticker.
signal connection
Connection is to international standards:
pin 1= gnd
pin 2= data –
pin 3= data +
Ensure that all data conductors are isolated
from one another and the metal housing of
the connector.
Note: the housing of the XLR 3 must
be isolated.
Pin 1 should never be connected to mains power.
Should your DMX 512 controller output via an XLR 5 socket, the polarity of pins 1, 2 and 3 must be maintained and pins 4 and 5
should remain unconnected.

8.3 Synchronising iCyc 250 without DMX 512 signal.
Multiple iCyc 250 units may be interconnected in the absence of DMX 512 signal, operating simply via the inbuilt programs within
the iCyc 250.
All iCyc 250s thus connected will operate simultaneously with one unit acting as MASTER and all subsequent units as a
SLAVES.
Determine which of the iCyc 250 will act as master, usually by the criterion of ease of access:
Connect the projectors using the XLR 3 socket (DMX OUT) of the master first unit to connect to the XLR 3 socket (DMX IN) of the first
slave, the out of this slave (DMX OUT) to the in of the second slave (DMX IN) and so on to a maximum of 10 units.
Should you need to connect more than 10 units we recommend that you use a suitable dmx splitter box to achieve this.
These units are usually opto-isolated and may amplify and repeat the signal as required.
Attention! We recommend that the two sockets which remain unconnected should be isolated; the XLR 3 (DMX IN) socket of the
master and the XLR 3 (DMX OUT) socket of the last slave.
Only by suitably isolating these sockets will the protection rating of the unit be maintained.
coemar supplies with the unit XLR 3 connectors with an IP 67 protection rating; use only similar plugs for the connection of signal
to the unit, thereby ensuring that the protection rating of the unit is maintained.
coemar code for the IP 67 rated XLR3 socket is ME 34
coemar code for the IP 67 rated XLR3 plug is ME 35
Connection should be to international standards:
pin 1= gnd
pin 2= data –
pin 3= data +
Ensure that all data conductors are isolated from one another and the
metal housing of the connector.
Pin 1 should never be connected to mains power.

After having followed the preceding steps, turn on the power to the unit.
If you have chosen to control the iCyc 250 using a DMX 512 controller, you should always turn on the power to the controller first.
The fixture will perform a reset function on its internal motors. This will last some few seconds, after which it will be subject to the
external signal from the controller.
Software version
On powering up, the led display of the projector will display the currently installed software version for a few seconds.
For example, it may show:
R 2.01 (software version 2.01).
Ventilation
The projector is fitted with 2 fans for forced cooling of the unit.
The two fans are directly controlled by the onboard software and may be switched off on powering up, depending upon the set-
tings shown in the display. They may never be switched off when the lamp is turned on.
To turn on the fans, you will need to either alter the settings via the display panel, as described in section 11.2, or turn on the lamp.
DMX 512 signal reception
After the software version has been displayed, the projector will proceed with its reset function. On completion of this, the display
will remain static on, indicating that the projector is correctly receiving DMX 512 signal.
A001 (dmx address 001).
If the display flashes, the projector is not receiving signal correctly. Check the cabling and the functioning of the controller.
turning on the power with no dmx signal connected
After the display has shown the software version, the projector will perform a reset. When completed, the display will flash to indi-
cate the absence of DMX 512 control signal.
messages other than A001
On powering up, the iCyc 250 may display values other than A001, the coemar default setting.
The display may show:
DMX 512 operation
1) A001 DMX 512 operation, address 1 (for example)
automated master/slave or automated “solo”
2) PRG.1 master projector, program 1,auto memory stepping, adjustable.
3) -SL- slave projector, operation determined by the “master” unit attached
Advanced operation information on each of these modes is contained in the sections which follow.
9. Powering up
10
English

Each iCyc 250 utilises utilises 6 channels of DMX 512 signal for complete control.
To ensure that each unit accesses the correct signal, it is necessary to correctly address each fixture. Any number between 1 and 506
can be generated via the multifunction panel of the unit iCyc 250.
This procedure must be carried out on every unit being utilised.
When powered up initially, each projector will show A001 which indicates DMX address 1; a projector thus addressed will respond
to commands on channels 1to 6from the DMX 512 controller. A second projector should be addressed as 7a third as 13 and
so on until the final unit has been addressed.
DMX 512 should be carried out so that there is no overlap in the assigned addresses. This will allow your controller to accurately
address each individual parameter of your iCyc 250s.
altering dmx addresses
1) Press the +or -buttons until the display shows the DMX address required. The characters in the display panel will flash to indica-
te that the selection is not stored in memory.
2) Press the enter button to confirm your selection; the display will stop flashing and the projector will now respond to the new
DMX 512 settings.
3) To better understand the functions of each DMX 512 we refer you to section 12 “Operation via DMX 512”.
Important Note: Keeping the +or -button pressed will cause the display to alter at increase speed, allowing a faster selection to
be effected.

13. DMX 512 functions
17
English

Multiple iCyc 250 fixtures can operate in the absence of control signal by executing internally stored, pre-recorded programs
Projectors correctly connected together may operate in synchronised mode, the iCyc 250 receiving signal being denominated as
“slave” units and those generating control signal designated as “master” units.
To activate this automated function, projectors must be connected together as described in the section entitled 8.3.
“Synchronising multiple iCyc 250 fixtures without using DMX512”; No signal cables should be connected to the exter-
nal XLR3 sockets.
Power up the projector and use the 4 button menu system and the display panel to set the units correctly.
14.1 “Masters”
iCyc 250 may operate automatically with output in the form of pre-recorded programs, as described in section “9.3. Synchronising
multiple iCyc 250 fixtures without using DMX512” Only one unit may be designated as “master”.
Selecting a master unit is simply a matter of convenience and accessibility to the display panel:
1) Press the menu button, the display will show MODE.
2) Press the enter button, the display will show DMX (for dmx function).
3) Press the +button until the display shows -MA- (for master).
4) Press the enter button to confirm you selection; the letters -MA- will flash momentarily and then the display will show the pro-
gram details PRG., for program,, with the relevant number (9 available programs from 1to 9 sequentially).
You may now alter the preset parameters:
Altering the delay between colour changes in a program.
1) The display shows PRG. 1 (program 1 is running, for example).
2) Press the enter button.
3) Press the +button until the display shows WAIT (wait).
4) Press the enter button. The display will show a numerical value which corresponds to the current delay between colour changes
5) Press the +button to obtain the required time delay (between 0,1 and 460 seconds).
6) Press the enter button to confirm you selection. The display will flash and then return automatically to the original PRG.1 dis-
play, recording the time delay you have selected.

14.2 “Slaves”
All projectors which are connected to a “Master” unit should be set to “Slave”. Connections should be as described in section “8.3
Synchronising multiple iCyc 250 fixtures without DMX 512”.
“Slave” units are recognisable since they have connections made to both XLR sockets in their base, except for the final unit in the
chain which has only one connection to its “DMX IN”.socket.
Once this is complete, you may proceed to set up units as “Slave”.
1) Press the menu button, the display will show MODE.
2) Press the enter button, the display will show DMX (for dmx function).
3) Press the +button until the display shows -SL- (for slave).
4) Press the enter button to confirm you selection; the letters -SL- will flash momentarily and then remain static.
When the display shows-SL- it confirms that it has accepted the setting as Slave and is ready to accept input instructions from a
Master unit.
14. Operating multiple iCyc 250s in synchronised mode without DMX 512
18
English

The electronic counter should be reset to zero hours every time the lamp is changed in order to provide accurate information about
lamp life
1) Turn off the projector.
2) Power up the iCyc 250 whilst holding both the + and –buttons simultaneously.
The projector will have effected a reset of the LIFE lamp-life counter.
To verify that the counter reset has been undertaken:
1) Press the menu button, the projector will show MODE
2) Press the + or -button until MEAS is displayed
3) Press the enter button
4) Press the + or -button until HOUR (for hour) is displayed.
5) Press the enter button
6) Press the + or -button until LIFE (lamp life) is displayed.
7) Press the enter button; the display will show 0000 confirming that the counter has been reset.
N.B. You may also verify that the other counters LIFS (cumulative lamp life for all lamps installed) and UNIT (number of hours of
fixture operation) have remained unaltered.
After having powered up the projector and have established DMX 512 control or have set it to operate automatically, the following
mechanical adjustments should be carried out in order to maximize the output of the projector in its current installation.
16.1 Adjusting tilt angle
