SAFETY INFORMATION
PROTECTION FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK
Warning! This product is for professional use only. It is not for household or residential use.
This product presents risks of lethal or severe injury due to fire and heat, electric shock, ultraviolet
radiation, lamp explosion, and falls. Read this manual before powering or installing the fixture, follow the
safety precautions listed below and observe all warnings in this manual and printed on the fixture. If you
have any question about how to use this fixture safely, please contact your Entar dealer.
Warning! Always disconnect from mains supply before replacing the lamp.
Disconnect the fixture from AC power before removing or installing the lamp, fuse, or any part, and when
not in use.
Always ground (earth) the fixture electrically.
Use only a source of AC power that complies with local building and electrical codes and has both
overload and ground-fault protection.
Do not expose the fixture in rain and moisture.
Refer any service operation not described in this manual to a qualified technician.
PROTECTION FROM UV RADIATION AND LMP EXPLOSION
Never operate the fixture with missing or damaged lenses and/or covers.
When replacing the lamp, allow the fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before opening the fixture of
removing the lamp. Protect your hands and eyes with gloves and safety glasses.
Do not stare directly into the light. Never look at an exposed lamp while it is lit.
Replace the lamp if it becomes defective or worn out, or before usage exceeds the maximum service life.
PROTECTION FROM BURNS AND FIRE
Danger! Intense heat. Avoid contact by persons and materials.
The exterior of the fixture can get very hot – up to 120
° C. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 45
minutes before handling.
Prolonged exposure to unshielded lamp can cause eye and skin burns.
Never attempt to bypass the thermostatic switch or fuses. Always replace defective fuses with ones of
the specified type and rating.
Keep all combustible materials (for example fabric, wood, paper) at least 1 meter away from the fixture.
Keep flammable materials well away from the fixture.
Do not illuminate surfaces within 3 meters (10 feet) of the fixture.
Provide a minimum clearance of 0.1 meters around fans and air vents.
Never place filters or other materials over the lens.

AC POWER
Warning! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The power supply
shall have overload and ground-fault protection.
RIGGING OR MOUNTING THE TANGO 250
Warning! Attach an approved safety cable to the attachment point provided in the base. Never use the
carrying handles for secondary attachment. Always use an approved safety cable.
CONNECTING THE SERIAL DATA LINK
The Tango 250 has locking 3-pin data input and output sockets that are wired for use with DMX devices
with pin 1 to shield, pin 2 to cold(-) and pin 3 to hot(+).
1. Connect the controller’s output to the fixture’s data input.
2. Connect the output of the fixture closest to the controller to the input of the next fixture. If connecting
a fixture with pin 3 hot to a fixture with pin 3 cold, use a phase-reversing adaptor.
3. To terminate the link, insert a male 120ΩXLR termination plug in the output of the last fixture.
TIPS FOR BUILDING A SERIAL LINK
zUse shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 devices: standard microphone cable cannot
transmit DMX data reliably over long runs. For links up to 300 meters (1000 ft.) long, you can use
24 AWG, low capacitance, 85-150 ohm characteristic impedance, shielded cable with 1 or more
twisted pairs. For runs up to 500 meters (1640 ft.) use 22 AWG cable. Use an amplifier if the serial
link exceeds 500 meters.
zNever use a “Y” connector to split the link. To split the serial link into branches use a splitter.
zDo not overload the link. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link.
zTerminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output socket of the last fixture on the link.
The termination plug, which is simply a male XLR connector with a 120 ohm, 0.25 watt resistor
soldered between pins 2 and 3, “soaks up” the control signal so it does not reflect back down the
link and cause interference. If a splitter is used, terminate each branch of the link.
