ponentry and in the technology used. We renew our invitation to you to complete the service information on the previous page, to
expedite any request for service information or spares (in case of problems encountered either during, or subsequent to, installation).
This information will assist in providing prompt and accurate advice from your coemar service centre.
Following the instructions and procedures outlined in this manual will ensure the maximum efficiency of this product for years to
come.
Open the packaging and ensure that no part of the equipment has suffered damage in transit. In case of damage to the equipment,
contact your carrier immediately by telephone or fax, following this with formal notification in writing.
Ensure the packaging contains:
1 ISPOT 1200 EB
1 instruction manual
2cam-lock projector supports
The ISPOT 1200 EB should be transported in its original packaging or in a coemar approved flight case.
In order to manufacture a suitable flight case, we recommend the following simple procedure to be followed, which will stop the
articulated movement of the ISPOT 1200 EB.
Fire prevention:
1. ISPOT 1200 EB utilises a Philips MSI1200W/s or Osram HMI 1200W/s lamp; the use of any alternative lamp is not
recommended and will null and void the fixture’s warranty.
2 Never locate the fixture on any flammable surface.
3.Minimum distance from flammable materials: 0,5 m.
4.Minimum distance from the closest illuminable surface: 2 m.
5. Replace any blown or damaged fuses only with those of identical values. Refer to the schematic diagram if there is any doubt.
6. Connect the projector to mains power via a thermal magnetic circuit breaker.
Preventing electric shock:
1. When connecting the I-Spot 1200 EB to mains power, the instructions in this manual should be followed carefully.
2. The level of technology inherent in the -Spot 1200 EB requires the use of specialised personnel for all service applica-
tions; refer all work to your authorised coemar service centre.
3. A good earth connection is essential for proper functioning of the projector. Never operate the unit without proper earth
connection.
4. High voltage is present in the internals of the unit. Isolate the projector from mains supply prior to performing any function
which involves touching the internals of the unit, including lamp replacement.
5. The mains cable should not come into contact with other cables.
Always handle the mains cable and all other cables connected to the unit with extreme caution.
Never handle the I-Spot 1200 EB with wet hands.
6. Ensure that the mains voltage applied is the recommended voltage for the projector.
7. Never install the projector in locations which may be exposed to rain, high humidity or which lack suitable air flow.
Protection against ultraviolet radiation:
1. Never turn on the lamp if any of the lenses, filters, or the carbon fibre housing is damaged; their respective functions will only
operate efficiently if they are in perfect working order.
2. Never look directly into the lamp when it is operating.
Safety:
1. The projector should always be installed with bolts, clamps, and other fixings which are suitably rated to support the weight of
the unit.
2. Always use a secondary safety chain of a suitable rating to sustain the weight of the unit in case of the failure of the primary fix-
ing point.
3. The external surface of the unit, at various points, may exceed 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 ambient temperature should not exceed 35°C.
6. A hot lamp may explode. always wait for at least 10 minutes to elapse after the unit has been turned off prior to attempting to
replace the lamp.
Always wear suitable hand protection when handling the lamp.

ISPOT 1200 EB utilises a Philips MSI 1200w/s or Osram HMI 1200W/s lamp rated at 1200W with a SFc10-4 lampbase.
The lamp is available from your authorised coemar sales agent:
The fixture’s internal temperature can reach 250° C after 5 minutes, with a maximum peak of 350° C; ensure that the lamp is cold
prior to attempting removal. The fixture should be allowed to stand and cool for 10 minutes prior to its removal. The lamps are part
of the mercury vapour family of discharge lamps and must be handled with great care. The lamp operates at high pressure, and the
slight risk of explosion of the lamp exists if operated over their recommended lives. We recommend, therefore, that the lamp be
replaced within the manufacturer’s specified lamp life.
installing the lamp
!) Remove the 4 screws at the rear of the projector body, as shown in the diagram below.
Fig.1
2) Remove the lampholder assembly.
Fig.2
3) Insert the lamp, taking care not to come into contact with the lamp’s quartz glass surface.

4) Replace the lampholder assembly and the 4 screws removed in step 1.(see Fig.1)
The projector may operate at voltages including 208, 230 or 240 V. Coemar presets (barring specific requests) an operating voltage of
240v.
The preset voltage is indicated on a sticker located on the base of the projector power on/off switch as shown in the diagram below.
ISPOT 1200 EB may operate at either 50 or 60 Hz without any changes required.
selecting an operating voltage different to the factory preset
If the preset operating voltage does not correspond with the voltage in use in the country in which the projector is to operate, it is
possible to alter the operating voltage of the projector at any time. See section 20. Altering the operating voltage
An error in voltage selection may cause serious damage to the projector.

installation
ISPOT 1200 EB may be either floor or ceiling mounted.
For floor mounting installations, the ISPOT 1200 EB is provided with four rubber mounting feet
For truss mounted installations coemar includes 2 cam-lock mounting devices (A).
You may fit the cam-locks in 2 different positions on the base of the ISPOT 1200 EB. The cam-lock fittings are of the type which
need a 1/4 turn. To be used correctly the fittings must be correctly fitted with some care.
If suspending the units we recommend the use of an appropriate structure and suspension clamps able to sustain the weight of the
unit. Clamps may be fitted to the central position of the cam-lock fixtures.
The structure from which the unit is hung should be of sufficient rating to hold
the weight of the unit, as should any clamps used to hang the unit. The struc-
ture should also be sufficiently rigid so as not to move or shake whilst the
ISPOT1200 EB moves during its operation.
Attention
Always use two clamps per projector

safety chains
We recommend the use of a safety chain fitted through the “B “slot of the ISPOT 1200 EB and to the suspension truss in order
to avoid the fixture accidentally falling. If using an after-market safety chain not manufactured by coemar, ensure that it is of suffi-
cient rating to hold the weight of the unit.
protection against liquids
The projector contains electric and electronic components that must not come into contact with water, oil, or any other liquid.
movement
The projector has a maximum movement of 360° in the base and 260° in the yoke; DO NOT place any obstructions in the path
of the projector’s movement.
risk of fire
Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated position. The minimum recommended distance from flamma-
ble material is: 0.5m. Minimum distance from the object being illuminated is: 2m.
forced ventilation
You will note that the projector features several air inlets and cooling fans, located at the rear of the projector and on the base. Under
no circumstances should these be obstructed.
Obstruction of these cooling features may cause the fixture to overheat and may result in serious damage occurring.
ambient temperature
Never install the fixture in an enclosed area lacking sufficient air flow; the ambient temperature should not exceed 35°C.
cabling
The mains cable provided is thermally resistant, complying to the most recent international standards. It meets or exceeds VDE and IEC norms,
IEC 331,IEC 332 3C,CEI 20 35.
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
ISPOT 1200 EB can operate at voltages from 208V-230V-240V at 50 or 60Hz (operating voltage and frequency can be selected
as described in section 5 of this manual).
Prior to connecting the unit to your mains supply, ensure that the model in your possession correctly matches the mains supply avail-
able to you. For connection purposes, ensure your plug is of a suitable rating of 7 amps. 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 ISPOT 1200 EB.
A good earth connection is essential for the correct operation of the fixture. Strict adherence to regulatory norms is strongly recom-
mended.

Control signal is digital, and is transmitted via two pair screened ø0.5mm cable.
Connection is serial, utilising XLR 3 or XLR5 male and female sockets located on the base of the ISPOT 1200 EB, labeled DMX
512 In and OUT (see diagram).
Pin connections conform to the international standard:
pin 1= screening 0 volt
pin 2= data -
pin 3= data +
If using a controller which output signal via an XLR 5 (5 pin) socket, do not use pins 4 and 5, leaving them unconnected.
Ensure that all data conductors are isolated from one another and the metal housing of the connector.
Note: the housing of the cannon XLR 3 or 5 must be isolated.

After having followed the preceding steps, turn on the DMX 512 controller which will be used to control the fixture. Following this,
turn on the power to the projector, and turn on the projector’s power switch. The projector will perform a reset function on all the
internal and external motors. This will last some few seconds, after which it will be subject to the external signal from the controller.
Software version
Three groups of software operate within the system; some in the display microprocessor of the unit “D”and some in the master
microprocessor “A” and “B”. On powering up the display will briefly show the current versions of the installed software:
For example, the Ispot 1200 EB may show:
D 1.20 (display software “D“version 1.20)
A 1.03 (master software in position “A“version 1.03)
B 1.10 (master software in position “B“version 1.10)
DMX signal reception
After the display of software versions installed in the unit’s microprocessors, the projector will reset and the display will be fixed on
to show that DMX 512 is being correctly received by the projector.If the display flashes, the projector is not receiving signal. Check
that the cabling is connected correctly and that the controller is operating properly.
Each projector utilises 24 channels of DMX 512 signal for complete control. (see section 16. DMX 512 channel functions for
further information)
DMX addressing
To ensure that each projector accesses the correct signal, it is necessary to correctly address each ISPOT 1200 EB.
When powered up initially, each projector will show A001 indicating DMX address 1; a projector thus addressed will respond to
commands on channels 1to 24 from the DMX 512 controller. A second unit should be addresses as 25, a third as 49 and so
on until the final ISPOT 1200 EB has been addressed.
altering DMX addresses
1) Press the +or -button until the display shows the DMX required, the characters in the display panel will flash to indicate 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 address.
3) To better understand the function of each channel, we refer you to section 12. DMX 512 channel functions
Important Note: Keeping the +or -button pressed will cause the display to alter at increased speed, allowing a faster selection to
be effected.

For your convenience, the following is a guide to navigating the menu system of the projector.
11.4. Rapid scrolling
Via the iSpot 1200 EB display, it is possible to rapidly scroll through the various numbers displayed in the menu which apply
to the following 3 uses:
1) Pressing down and holding the + or - buttons will cause the numbers to scroll more quickly than by simply pressing buttons repea-
tedly
2) Pressing down the + button and then the - button and holding them down simultaneously will cause the numbers to jump to
the highest possible value available in the particular function.
3) Pressing down the - button and then the + button and holding them down simultaneously will cause the numbers to jump to
the lowest possible value available in the particular function.

Aligning the lamp in the optical system is achieved via the 3 adjusters at the rear of the projector. This procedure should be under-
taken to properly align the lamp in the optical system and to avoid the possible overheating of the internal components due to
the incorrect focusing of the beam onto components not intended to be exposed to this.
alignment procedure
Alignment is effected via the 3 adjusters A, B and C operating in conjunction with each other. The lamp should be on, black-out and
dimmer fully open, and no colour filters inserted. If the lamp is not correctly aligned, a hot-spot will be noticeable. This is a function
of the lamp’s positioning. Use the two adjusters (Band C) to bring the hot spot to the centre of the beam. Use the third adjuster
(A) to flatten the beam to maximum uniformity.
vertical adjustment
Adjuster (C) acts on a lever and spring assembly to position the lamp via a vertical movement within the reflector; rotate it until cor-
rect positioning is achieved.
horizontal adjustment
Adjuster (B) acts on a lever and spring assembly to position the lamp via a horizontal movement within the reflector; rotate it until
correct positioning is achieved.
axial adjustment
Adjuster (A) moves the entire lamp assembly axially within the unit; rotate it until correct positioning is achieved, resulting in a flat,
even beam.
NB: It is extremely important that a uniform beam spread is achieved. Avoid creating a hot-spot in the beam
as this may cause overheating of internal components, in particular the glass gobos.

12. Aligning the lamp in the optical path

This function may be useful should you need to power up the ISPOT 1200 EB inside its roadcase or for any other reason where
you may wish to power up the unit without it moving.
1) Power up the projector whilst simultaneously pressing the enter, menu and – buttons.
the projector will perform the usual reset functions on every motor barring the pan and tilt motor, which will remain static throu-
ghout the reset procedure..
2) You may at this point alter a DMX address, or any other menu-based parameter without projector articulated movement.
3) To resume normal ISPOT 575 EB functioning, you must turn the projector of and on again via the power button.
The electronic counter should be reset to zero hours every time the lamp is changed in order to provide accurate information about
lamp life. Power up the ISPOT 1200 EB whilst simultaneously holding the +and –buttons, the fixture will start up with the coun-
ter reset.
The projector will have effected a reset of the 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.
An internal 4 point encoder system allows the iSpot 575 EB to return to its correct position in case the unit is accidentally knoc-
ked out of alignment whilst operating. This is particularly useful if the projector is to be mounted on the floor in a position where
the performer or artist may accidentally bump the unit.
NOTE: this function is able to be disabled (Display panel functions OPTO OFF ).
