INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
a) Installing or replacing the lamp
XM485-V1.0-NR

6
Before replacing the lamp let the lamp cool down, because during operation, the lamp can
reach very high temperature.
During the installation of halogen lamps do not touch the glass bulbs bare handed. Always use a
cloth to handle the lamps during insertion and removal.
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They generate higher temperatures than which the
device was designed for.
For the installation, you need one: PLATINUM 5R
Procedures:
1) Unscrew the 2 screws (A, B) on the bottom of the housing, holding the plate where the lamp
is underneath. Carefully remove the metal plate.
2) Insert the lamp counter-clockwise 35 degree into the lampholder, then turn clockwise 35
degree to put it into the right position. Attention: please wrap the lamp with the soft cloth that
comes with the packing, avoid naked hand contact to the lamp directly.
3) Put the lampholder back position after install the lamp, tighten the screw and complete the
installation.
Please remember the lamp is not a hot-restrike type, you must wait for approximately 10
minutes after having turned off the lamp before you can turn it back on again.
b) Mounting the device
The applicable temperature for the lighting is between -25°C to 45°C. Do not use the lighting
under or above the temperature.
The installation of the effect has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the
XM485-V1.0-NR

7
weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate
safety rope.
Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing the fixture.
The operator has to make sure the safety relating and machine technical installations are
approved by an expert before taking the device into operation for the first time.
These installations have to be approved by a skilled person once a year.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating
working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the
installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.
Before mounting make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times
the device’s weight.
Connect the fixture to the mains with the power plug.
XM485-V1.0-NR

Installation via the Omega holders
a) Fixed the clamp on the bracket by tighten up the M12 screw on the bracket to the Ф13 hole in
the middle of the bracket.
b) Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first Omega holder into the respective holes on the
bottom of the device. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise.
c) Install the second Omega holder.
d) Pull the safety-rope through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system
or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the safety screw.
Notice: this step is quite important to ensure that the fixture will not drop out by the
damage of the clamp.
DMX-512 control connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other
side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple
Moving head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened
cable with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.
XM485-V1.0-NR

9
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment,
such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of
the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ωresistor
connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the
chain. Please see illustrations below.
Projector DMX start address selection
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture
responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the
fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of
this starting address is achieved by setting the correct number on the display located on the base of the device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or make different address for each
fixture individually.
If you set the same address, all the units will start to “listen” to the same control signal from the same channel
number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the
quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only the
selected fixture.
In the case of the wash head, which is a 13 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the first unit
XM485-V1.0-NR
Address 1 Address 14 Address27

10
to 1, the second unit to 14(13 + 1), the third to 27 (13 + 14), and so on.
Control Board
The Control Board offers several features: you can simply set the starting address , run the pre-programmed
program or make a reset.

Main Menu Functions
Main functions:
Function Mode:
“Set DMX Address” - DMX address setting – This function is used to set or adjust
the fixture’s starting DMX address. Every device controlled by DMX has to have a
unique starting address. The addressing feature is what allows DMX to function
properly. The DMX address of a fixture is what allows it to communicate with a
controller properly. The DMX addressing also allows the fixture to ignore any DMX
information coming from the controller that is not meant specifically for the fixture.
Because each fixture is connected in a daisy-chain fashion it is imperative to assign
a proper and unique starting DMX address to each and every fixture. The DMX
address is non-destructive and will remain in the fixture’s memory even when the
power to the unit is switched off. Memory is backed-up and retain by an internal
power source that should last about five years. For proper DMX addressing see
Section 10/Page 35 of this user manual.
“Value Display” - Display the DMX 512 value of each channel
With this function you can display the DMX 512 value of each channel. The display
will automatically detail the changing DMX values as they are received from the
controller.

Personality:
Status setting
Address via DMX - This function allows the DMX address to remotely be
adjusted from a DMX console. This setting requires special settings for both the
controller and the fixture. RDMX is on by default. For operational instructions
please see Section 10/Page 35 of this manual “Remote DMX addressing.”
No DMX Status – This function dictates how the fixture will function if it looses
DMX signal during normal operation. The default function is set to hold, in which
the fixture will lock into the last DMX signal it received and remain in that
position until it is turned off or begins receiving a new DMX signal. If the fixture is
turned on without any DMX signal, the fixture will automatically go in to sound-
active mode. Available settings are: “Close” – Shutter flags will close. “Hold” –
Fixture will remain at it’s last settings. “Auto” – Fixture will go into stand-alone
mode, running the built-in program. “Music” – The fixture will go into sound-
active mode.
Pan Reverse - This function allows you to invert all pan movements. Use the Up
and Down buttons to turn this function On or Off. Press the Enter button to
accept the change or the Mode button to cancel and return to the main menu.
This function is “OFF” by default.
Tilt Reverse - This function allows you to invert all tilt movements. Use the Up
and Down buttons to turn this function On or Off. Press the Enter button to
accept the change or the Mode button to cancel and return to the main menu.
This function is “OFF” by default.
Pan Degree – This function changes the maximum Pan resolution from either
540˚ or 630˚. The default function is 540˚. 630˚ operation allows for greater
coverage, but slower pan movement.
Feedback – This function turns the feedback correction on or off. This function
is set to “ON” as default. This function allows for automatic pan and tilt correction
in the event either one disrupted during normal operation.
Movement Speed – This function changes the speed function of the Pan and
Tilt motors. Use this function intergrading Platinum Spot 5R into lighting rigs that

includes original Design Spot 250s. There are 3 different mode variations;
Speed 1 (Default): Slower than the original Design Spot 250 for smoother,
more precise movements.
Speed 2: Pan and Tilt speeds are identical to the first generation Design
Spot 250.
Speed 3: includes a faster Pan speed. Pan speed is 0.5 seconds faster than
original DS-250. Tilt speed will be the same as speed 2.
Mic Sensitivity – This function makes the internal microphone more or less
sensitive to sound. This function only works in conjunction with the sound active
modes. The default setting is 70% and setting range from 0% to 99%.
Hibernation –When activated, this function will automatically put the fixture in
power stand-by mode after a defined period of time of no DMX activity. This
prevents the fixture form expending power for extended periods in the event the
fixture has been left on accidently. In stand-by mode the lamp and all motors will
power down if no DMX signal is sent to the fixture for a period of 15 minutes
(default, can be user defined). The fixture will automatically reset and return to
normal operation once a DMX signal is sensed.
Fans Control - This function is used to change the functionality of the internal
cooling fans. The available selections are: 1) “AUTO” – The fans will automatically
switch between low and high speeds depending on the internal operating
temperature. 2) “HIGH” – The fans will run in high-speed mode regardless of
operating temperature. 3) “LOW” – The fans will remain in low speeds regardless of
internal operating temperature.
Display Settings
Shutoff Time - The display is designed to turn off during normal operation to
avoid excessive light in situations that require an extremely dark environment.
This function will adjust the amount of time the display will remain on until it is
automatic turned off. This function is disabled as default.
Display Reverse – This function will allow the entire display to be flipped by
180˚ to allow for better view when the fixture is hung from truss or a ceiling. This

function is disabled as default.
Key Lock – This function allows you to lock the keys on the display to prevent
menu tampering. With this function you can activate the automatic keylock
function. If this function is activated, the keys will be automatically locked in 15
seconds from the last command. In order to deactivate or temporarily deactivate
the keylock function, press the Mode/Esc Button for 3 seconds to regain access to
the menu commands.
Temperature C/F – This function changes the temperature the unit will display from
either Celsius or Fahrenheit. Fahrenheit is set as the default measurement.
Initial effect – This function allows a user to create and assign a custom “Home
Position” into the fixture. Adjusting the Pan and Tilt values then locking those values
into the fixture’s internal memory creates the new “Home” position.
Restore Default – This function is used to restore the factory settings of the device.
All settings will be set back to the default values (shaded). Any edited scenes will be
lost.
