5. Mains cables must not come into contact with other cables.

6. Do not operate the projector with wet hands or in an area where water is present.

7. The fixture must never be located in an exposed position, or in areas of extreme humidity.

Protection against ultraviolet radiation(UV):

1. Never turn on the lamp if any of the lenses, filters, or the plastic housing are damaged; their shielding functions will only operate efficiently if they

are in perfect working order.

2. Never look directly in the direction of the lamp when it is operating.

Safety:

1. The projector must always be installed with bolts, clamps, or other fixing devices which are suitably rated to support the weight of the projector.

2. Always use a secondary safety fixing device with chain or steel wire of a suitable rating to sustain the weight of the unit in case of failure of the

principal fixing point.

3. The external surfaces of the unit, at various points, may reach 150°C. Never handle the unit until at least 10 minutes have elapsed since the lamp

was turned off

4. Always replace the lamp if any physical damage is evident.

5. Never install the fixture in an enclosed area lacking sufficient air flow; the room temperature must not exceed 35°C.

4. Installation

4.1 Mechanical installation

Infinity Spot M may be either floor or ceiling mounted. It may also be installed on a structure. The unit is provided with four rubber feet mounted on

its base, allowing it to be placed on a flat surface. For installations on a reticular structure, Coemar provides a set of Cam-lock support brackets,

which are included in the packaging. The Cam-lock bracket is one-fourth-turn supports. Before using it for supporting the projector, make sure that it

is correctly seated and firmly tightened into position).

English

For installations on a reticular structure, we recommend using specific “C” hooks, suitable for supporting the weight. Normally, the “C” hooks are

tightened in the central hole of the cam-lock brackets, as shown in the picture below.

WARNING !

Always make sure that both the structure and the fixing devices (screws, clamps etc.)

are suitable for holding the weight of the unit.

The structure must also be sufficiently rigid so as not to move or shake whilst the Infinity Spot M projector moves during its operation. Make sure

that the supporting structure is not subject to torsion.

Do not install the projector in locations readily accessible by unauthorised or untrained personnel who is not aware of these safety instructions.

4.2 Safety connection

If the Infinity Spot M is fixed to a structure, the use of a safety chain is recommended in order to meet the current relevant safety standards. The

safety chain must pass through the holes “A” and then fixed to the structure itself.

If using steel wires or chains which have not been manufactured by Coemar, make sure that they are suitable for holding the weight of the unit.

5. Powering up

5.1 Connecting to mains power

Mains cable characteristics

The mains cable provided is complying with the most recent standards.

NB: In case of cable replacement, similar cable with comparable thermal resistant qualities must be used exclusively (cable 3X 1,5 ø external 10

mm, rated voltage 300/500V, test voltage 2 KV, operation temperature -40°C +180°C, Coemar cod. CV5311).

Connection to mains power

For connection to mains, use a connector of a suitable rating to sustain the maximum current: 200/208/230/240 Vac 8 amps constant current in

normal operation.

English

Identify the mains cable which exits the base of the unit and connect as shown below.

WARNING !

• The use of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker is recommended for each projector. Strictly adhere to all regulatory norms.

• Infinity Spot XL cannot be powered through Dimmer power units.

• A good earth connection is necessary for the correct operation of the Infinity Spot XL. Never connect the projector to main power if

the green/yellow earth cable provided is not correctly connected.

• All cable and plug connections must be carried out by qualified personnel only.

6. Control signal connections

The digital control signal is transmitted to the projector via a two pole cable screened as per international standards for the transmission of DMX512

data. The connection must be serial, utilising connectors XLR3 and XLR5, male and female, located on the base of Infinity Spot M labelled DMX

512 IN and OUT (see diagram)

Control signal connection by XLR3 e XLR5 plugs

Pin 1= GROUND

Pin 2= DATA-

Pin 3= DATA+

Pin 4= NC

Pin 5= NC

When signal arrives from a DMX 512 console with Cannon XLR5 ( 5 poles) pins 4 and 5 must not be connected.

WARNING !

Make sure that screening and conductors are not in contact one another or with the metal housing of the connector.

Pin n# 1 and housing must never be connected to the unit power supply.

6.1 Connection through ArtNet.protocol

The ArtNet protocol allows enabled projectors to operate and to be seen as a normal network device, such as a standard P.C. connected to a

company network.

Infinity Spot Mleaves the factory ready to be connected to an ArtNet network without any further settings. Just connect the projector by means of

the specific RJ45 connector located on the side of the DMX connectors and the relative patch to a common HUB Ethernet which will be connected

to an ArtNet controller. Each Coemar projector has its own IP address, therefore it is not necessary to set it when connecting it to the network.

Should it be necessary to modify the IP address for reasons related to the net, each Coemar projector allows customization. In order to modify the

net setting, access the MAIN FUNCTION/PROJECTOR CONTROL MODE/ARTNET ONLY menu ( alternatively, Artnet to DMX) /CUSTOM IP

ADDRESS (see complete menu, art. 8.3).

English

7. Turning on the projector

After having followed the preceding steps, proceed with the power supply and turn on the projector via the main power switch.

The display will show a short welcome message and the software version installed on the internal microprocessors:

The projector will perform the reset function on all motors. This operation will last a few seconds, thus allowing the digital control motors to correctly

position themselves. Then the display will turn on in a fixed mode, indicating the correct DMX 512 signal reception.

During the reset function the display will blink for a few seconds…. …then the DMX address of the projector will appear

If the address continues to blink and the “NO DMX SIGNAL” message appears, it means that the DMX signal has not been received. Check the

connection cable and the mixer functioning.

7.1 DMX address of the projector

NB: The following section is valid only in the case where Infinity Spot XL is controlled by the signal DMX 512.

Each projector utilises 31 address channels (16 bit) for its complete operation and is controlled by a DMX 512 signal (for further information, see

section 7.2, DMX functions).

When powered up initially, each projector will show A001, which indicates DMX address 001; a projector thus addressed will respond to commands

of channel 1 to 31 from your DMX 512 controller. A second unit must be addressed as A032, a third as A063 and so on. The operation must be

carried out every Infinity Spot M which has an address different from A001.

Altering DMX address

1. Press the + or – button until the display shows the required DMX address. The digits on the display will blink to indicate that the variation has not

been registered.

2. Press the enter key to confirm your selection. The digits on the display panel will cease to blink and the projector will now respond to the new

address.

NB: by holding the + or – button down the scrolling will be faster; thus allowing a faster selection

WARNING!

If you alter the DMX address with no DMX signal connected, the digits on the display panel will continue to flash

even after you have pressed ENTER button to confirm the address.
