6. Addressing
The control board on the front panel of the COLOR SPOT 575 allows you to assign the DMX fixture address,
which is defined as the first channel from which the COLOR SPOT 575 will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the COLOR SPOT 575 will use the channel 5 to 20 for control.
Please, be sure that you dont have any overlapping channels in order to control each COLOR SPOT 575
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more COLOR SPOT 575 are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address setting follow this procedure:
1) Switch On the COLOR SPOT 575 and wait until the fixture reset has finished ("rSt" is flashing at the display).
2) Press the [Mode] key in order to access the main menu. Browse through the menu by pressing the [Up]
and [Down] keys until the display shows "A001". Confirm by pressing [Enter] key and the letter "A" will flash.
3) Use the [Up] and [Down] keys to select the desired address.
4) Confirm by pressing [Enter] or [Mode] to cancel.
Controlling:
After having addressed all COLOR SPOT 575 , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the COLOR SPOT 575 will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash "A001" with actually set address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the device
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are
swap in the input connector.
Note: Its necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
7. Remotely controllable functions
7.1 Lamp
The COLOR SPOT 575 is run with a PHILIPS MSD 575,MSR 575/2 or OSRAM HSR 575/2 lamp.
A relay inside of the COLOR SPOT 575 allows you to switch On and Off the lamp via itself control board on the
front panel of base or via your controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
7.2 Switching On and Off the lamp by the control board
1. Switch On the COLOR SPOT 575 and wait until the fixture reset has finished.
2. Press the [Mode] key in order to access the main menu. Browse through the menu by pressing the [Up] and
[Down] keys until the display shows "LAMP". Confirm by pressing [Enter] key.
3. Use the [Up] and [Down] keys to select "On" for switch On the lamp and "Off" for switch Off the lamp and
press [Enter] to confirm or [Mode] to cancel.
Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to be
cold before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait 5 minutes (max. speed of fan must be adjusted) after
having switched Off the lamp before you can switch it back On again. If you try to switch On the lamp within 5
minutes after having switched it Off, the COLOR SPOT 575 will store this information and automatically ignite the
lamp when the 5 minutes period has expired. The message "HEAt" will appear on the control board display of
the COLOR SPOT 575. If the ignition of the lamp is seven times unsuccessful, on the display will appear
"LA.Er", meaning that the lamp could be damaged or even missed, or there could be a failure on the ignitor or ballast.
