WARNING !
Make sure that screening and conductors are not in contact one another or with the metal housing of the connector.
Pin#1 and housing never must be connected to the power supply unit.
7. Turning on the projector
After having followed the preceding steps described, proceed with the power supply and turn on the projector connecting it to the
mains power.
The software version installed on the internal microprocessors will be shown on the display.
Reflection then, will promptly start the reset procedure; the operation will take some seconds allowing the correct positioning of the
motor. At the end of the procedure the display will stop blinking and will show the current DMX addressing.
During reset the display will blink for some seconds…. …then will appear DMX addressing of the unit
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 unit
Each projector uses 12 DMX channels (16 bits mode) for its complete operation and is controlled by a DMX 512 signal (for further
information, see section 7.2, DMX functions).
DMX addressing
When powered up initially, each projector will show A001, which indicates DMX address 001; a projector thus addressed will
respond to commands of channels 1 to 12 from your DMX 512 controller (or from 1 to 8 at 8 bits), A second unit must be addressed
as A013 ( or A009), a third one as A025 (or A17) and so on. The operation must be carried out on every Reflection 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.
Note: 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.

8.7 Connecting DR1 and DR1 Plus
All features are available in the menu can also be activated by DR1 (code CO9707) and DR1 Plus (cod.CO9709). DR1 and DR1
Plus is a tool designed for technicians who can operate the apparatus at the same time the programmer of the show, without
having to physically intervene on headlamps, but controlling functions remotely.
For example, DR1 and DR1 Plus eliminates the need to change a DMX address on the unit, (thus avoiding the technical climbing
on the structure) and can read hours of lamp life and other functions normally accessible from the display. DR1 and DR1 Plus also
allows updating the firmware of the projectors.
To enable a projector to work with DR1 or DR1 Plus, you must set each unit of the line with its own, unique identity number (ID).
WARNING !
-If you set as identification number "0 ", Reflection will not be recognized by DR1 and DR1 Plus
-Never assign the same ID to two or more units of a same DMX line. This causes the failure of the system. (DR1 and DR1
Plus will display an error message).
For more information see the manual for DR1 or DR1 Plus.
8.8 Electronic alignment of the leds.
The display panel of Reflection allows the electronic alignment of the leds, this procedure is performed by Coemar at the time of
