Setting Up
A. Unpacking
Upon receipt of your fixtures, carefully inspect the outside of the packaging and
look for any damage that may have occurred during shipping. Open the package
and carefully inspect its contents for signs of damage. Should there be any
apparent damage, notify the freight company right away. Keep all the packaging
in the event that the freight company dispatches an inspector.
B. Checking the Contents
Included in the packaging are the following items:
1. GKH 575 Color Wash luminaire
2. MDR 575 lamp
3. (2) Omega rigging brackets with quarter-turn fasteners
4. safety cable
5. User manual
C. Before Applying Power
Once you have made a visual inspection of the packaging and the fixture, you
should set it up and perform a bench test to insure that it is operating correctly.
Before applying power to the unit, make sure to follow these procedures:
1. Check to see that the voltage marked on the packaging matches that of
the power supply. In North America it should be 120V/60Hz.
2. Install the lamp.
a. Insure that the fixture is disconnected from the power source.
Caution: Surface may be extremely hot. Allow several
minutes to cool.
b. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the three screws on the back
of the fixture head labeled X, Y, and Z.

6
Caution: Never touch the lamp with your bare hands. The
oil from your hands can cause the quartz envelope of the
lamp to heat up and explode.
c. Without touching the lamp with your bare hands (wear gloves or
use a protective sleeve to hold the lamp), hold the ceramic base of
the lamp and insert it into the lamp socket until it is seated
completely.
d. Replace the lamp and socket assembly in the head of the fixture
and replace the three screws, X, Y and Z.
3. Install the power connector using the following wiring convention:

7
a. Green/yellow – ground
b. Blue – neutral
c. Brown – live or hot
D. Applying Power
Apply power only after the voltage has been confirmed, the lamp installed and
the connector correctly installed.
Warning: Risk of electrical shock.
E. Turning On the Fixture
Connect the fixture to a power source and turn on the red power button located
on the base of the fixture (0=off, 1=on). The fixture will automatically perform a
power-on self test. During the test, the fixture will perform a sequence of
procedures in which each of the functions will be activated, tested and homed.
The self-test will be noisy; this is normal. It will last approximately one minute,
and then the head will return to its home position and the LED display on the
base will display the default DMX512 address (001).
F. Aligning the Lamp
Before operating the fixture for the first time and each time after the lamp is
changed, it is critical that the lamp is correctly re-aligned in the reflector.
Caution: Operating the fixture without correctly aligning
the lamp in the reflector may cause damage to internal
components. Always align the lamp before operating for
the first time and each time after changing the lamp.
G. Lamp Aligning Procedure
To align the lamp, find a location with a long, clear sight line to a white wall.
Place the fixture on the floor or on a work bench and perform the following lamp
alignment procedure:
1. Turn on the fixture.
2. After it finishes the power-on self-test, the lamp should be on and
the yoke should be in the default position (pointing straight up if the
fixture is sitting on the ground or pointing straight down if the fixture
!

8
is hanging from a pipe or truss). You should be able to see a small
amount of light leak from the back of the fixture head. If the lamp is
on, skip to step 7.
3. Strike the Lamp:
a. Using the menu display function, press the [UP] or [DOWN]
button on the LED menu display several times until it reads
LAMP.
b. Press the [ENTER] button.
c. Press the [UP] or [DOWN] button until the display reads ON.
d. Press the [ENTER] button. The lamp should turn on.
NOTE: It takes approximately five minutes for the lamp to
reach its full operating temperature.
e. Press the [MODE] button to back out of the LAMP function.
4. Adjust the dimmer to full and focus the pan and tilt using the menu
display Adjust function:
a. Press the [UP] or [DOWN] button on the LED menu display
several times until the display says SPEC.
b. Press the [ENTER] button.
c. Press the [UP] or [DOWN] button several times until the
display says AdJ.
d. Press the [ENTER] button.
e. Press the [UP] or [DOWN] button several times until the
display says dinr (dimmer).
f. Press the [ENTER] button.
g. Press and hold the [UP] button until the display reaches the
number 255. If you pass it, press the [DOWN] button until it
stops at 255. The light should fade up as the dimmer opens.
h. Press the [ENTER] button.
i. Press the [UP] or [DOWN] button several times until the
display reads TILT.
j. Press the [ENTER] button.
k. Press and hold the [UP] or [DOWN] button until the fixture
head is focused on a white wall. (Rotate the fixture if
necessary or go to the PAN function and adjust the value
until it is correctly focused.)
5. Using the three lamp adjustment screws (labeled A, B, and C) in
the rear of the fixture head, adjust the lamp so that it is centered
correctly in the X, Y, and Z planes of the reflector (side-to-side and
in and out).
a. Using a 4mm (5/32”) hex wrench, turn the three screws
clockwise one revolution one at a time. Observe the spot on
the wall while adjusting the bolts.
b. If the spot appears brighter as you turn each screw, keep
adjusting them in rotation until it no longer has an
intensifying effect. If the spot appear dimmer as you turn

9
each screw, adjust them in rotation in a counterclockwise
direction until the spot is a bright as possible.
c. Adjust the screws individually so that the hot spot is in the
center of the beam.
6. Press the [MODE] button on the menu display several times to

I. Personality Settings
A detailed explanation of each personality setting follows. At any time during the
processes listed below, pressing the [MODE] button will cancel the pending
setting and exit to the next highest menu level.
A001 - DMX512 Address. The current DMX512 address setting. This is
the starting address for which the fixture receives information from the controller.
To change the DMX512 address:
1. Press the [ENTER] button.
2. Press and hold the [UP] or [DOWN] button until you reach the desired
DMX512 address.
3. Press the [ENTER] button. The display should now read AXXX, where
XXX is the new DMX512 address.

12
r.PAn – Reverse pan. This setting allows you to invert the pan so that
opposing fixtures will pan in the same direction given the same command from
the controller.
To invert the pan:
1. Press the [UP] or [DOWN] button until the display reads r.Pan.
2. Press the [ENTER] button.
3. Press the [UP] or [DOWN] button until the display reads On.
4. Press the [MODE] button to get out of the r.Pan mode.
r.t!t – Reverse tilt. This setting allows you to invert the tilt so that
fixtures that are rigged inverted (e.g., hanging from a truss) will tilt in the same
direction as fixtures that are rigged upright (e.g., sitting on the floor) given the
same command from the controller.
To invert the tilt:
1. Press the [UP] or [DOWN] button until the display reads r.tilt.
2. Press the [ENTER] button.
3. Press the [UP] or [DOWN] button until the display reads On.
4. Press the [MODE] button to get out of the r.tilt mode.
16b.r. – Resolution of movement. This setting allows you to choose
between 16-bit resolution and 8-bit resolution. 16-bit resolution requires two
channels for pan (course and fine adjust) and two channels for tilt (course and
fine adjust), but it gives you 65,536 steps of resolution which translates to
smoother movement and higher target accuracy. 8-bit resolution requires only
one channel for pan and one channel for tilt, but it only gives you 256 steps of
resolution over 540 degrees of movement in the pan and 270 degrees of
movement in the tilt. That translates to about one degree per step in the tilt
function, which, over a throw distance of 35 feet, is about 8” of movement per
step. If you are concerned about having enough DMX512 channels to run all of
your fixtures, you may consider changing this function to the 8-bit setting to free
two channels per fixture.

In the fixture head there is a photoreceptor that is used to detect the
presence or absence of light. The purpose of this light sensor is to prevent
the ignitor from damaging the lamp circuit by continually trying to ignite the
lamp if it is already on or if the lamp is unable to turn on. The lamp light
sensor can be turned off in the event that the sensor is non-functional so
that the fixture may be used in emergency situations.
Note: If the En.Sn. function has been turned Off then the heat
error message will only appear if the lamp has been turned off from
