INSTALLATION
Installing/Replacing the lamp
DANGER TO LIFE!
Only install the lamp with the device switched off!
Unplug from mains before!
For the installation, you need one MSD/HSD 200 GY-9.5, MSD/HSD 250 GY-9.5 or MSD 250/2 GY-9.5
lamp.
The lamp must only be changed when wearing appropriate protective clothing (protection glasses, protection
gloves, helmet with sight, leather apron).
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged
or deformed due to the heat!
CAUTION!
The lamp life given by the manufacturer must never be exceeded. This is why you need to take notes on the
operational time of the lamp and replace the lamp in time.
Keep exchanged lamp in a protective container and remove accordingly.
During the operation, the lamp reaches temperatures of up to 600° C.
Before replacing the lamp, unplug mains lead and let the lamp cool down (approx. 10 minutes).
During the installation do not touch the glass-bulbs bare-handed! Please follow the lamp manufacturer's
notes!
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the device
was not designed for. Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
Procedure:
Step 1: Unscrew the fixation screws of the lamp cover and remove it.
Step 2: Unscrew the screws X, Y of the lamp holder and remove it.
Step 3: If replacing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the lamp holder.
Step 4: Insert the lamp into the lamp holder.
Step 5: Replace the lamp holder and tighten the screws X, Y.
Step 6: Adjust the lamp as described under lamp adjustment.

Lamp adjustment
The lampholder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, fine adjustment may improve
light performance.
Strike the lamp, open the shutter, set the dimmer intensity onto 100 % and direct the light towards a flat
surface (wall). Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment screws "A, B, C”.
Turn one screw at a time to drag the hot-spot diagonally across the projected image. If you cannot detect a
hot-spot, adjust the lamp until the light is even.
To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws "A, B, C” clockwise ¼-turn at a time until
the light is evenly distributed.
If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low, the lamp is too far back
in the reflector. "Push” the lamp out by turning the screws "A, B, C” counterclockwise ¼-turn at a time the
light is bright and evenly distributed.
Rigging
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the respective national norms during the
installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight
for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down
if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges,
under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another
time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an
expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a
skilled person once a year.
Procedure:
The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to)
calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself,
but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and.or
damage to property.
The projector has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the projector shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be
used. The projector must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Projectors may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the
safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the projector!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the projector's
weight.

51838700X18NXS_V_1_0_E.DOC
9/23
DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable
material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5 m.
CAUTION!
Use 2 appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss.
Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.
Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that
the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.
The Moving-Head can be placed
directly on the stage floor or rigged in
any orientation on a truss without
altering its operation characteristics
(see the drawing).
The fixture’s base enables to be
mounted in two ways.
For overhead use (mounting height
>100 cm), always install a safety-rope
that can hold at least 12 times the
weight of the fixture. You must only use
safety-ropes with quick links with screw
cap. Pull the safety-rope through the
hole on the bottom of the base and
over the trussing system etc. Insert the
end in the quick link and tighten the
fixation screw.
The maximum drop distance must
never exceed 20 cm.
A safety rope which already hold the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again.

51838700X18NXS_V_1_0_E.DOC
10/23
Screw one clamp each via a M12 screw and nut onto the Omega-holders.
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. Install the second Omega-holder.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert!
DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise
the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with
the fixture or one fixture with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:

51838700X18NXS_V_1_0_E.DOC
11/23
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly
with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other
XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ωresistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:
Cable Pin International
Brown Live L
Blue Neutral N
Yellow/Green Earth
The earth has to be connected!
If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a
minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.
Lighting effects must not be connected to dimming-packs.
OPERATION
After you connected the effect to the mains, the PHW-250 starts running. During the Reset, the motors are
trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards.
Stand Alone operation
In the Stand Alone mode, the PHW-250 can be used without controller.
Disconnect the PHW-250 from the controller and call the internal program.
1.Press [ENTER] for 3 seconds to enter the main menu "MODE" (display flashing)
2.Press [ENTER] and select “RUN” by pressing [UP] button.
3.Press [ENTER] and select “AUTO” by pressing [UP] button.
4.Press [ENTER] and select “ALONE” by pressing [UP] button.
5.Press [ENTER] to confirm, the display shows “AU-A”.
6.Press [EXIT/DN] in order to return to the main menu.
Please refer to the instructions under Control Board, Main functions, menus Run and Edit.
DMX-controlled operation
You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different
occupation with different features. The individual channels and their features are listed under DMX-protocol.
Addressing
The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX starting address, which is defined as the first channel from
which the PHW-250 will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 15, the PHW-250 will use the channel 15 to 28 for control.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each PHW-250 correctly
and independently from any other fixture on the DMX-chain.
If several PHW-250 are addressed similarly, they will work synchronically.

51838700X18NXS_V_1_0_E.DOC
12/23
Press the Up/Down-buttons for setting the desired starting address. Now you can start operating the PHW-
250 via your lighting controller.
Note:
After switching on, the PHW-250 will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If the
data is received, the the display will show "A.001" with the actually set address. If there is no data received
at the DMX-input, the display flashes "A.001" with the 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 PHW-250.
- 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:
It’s 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.
