3. Lamp
Because of its high internal pressure, there might be a risk that the Discharge lamp
would explode during operation. The lamp emits intense UV radiation which is harmful
to the eyes and skin. The high luminance of the arc can cause severe damage to the
retina if looks directly at the lamp.
MSI 1200W/S / HMI 1200/S K SFc10-4
IF-575: HMI 575W & HTI 575W (Osram)or HMQ 575 & HMQ 575/2 (Xenpow)
1.Always switch off the main supply and never handle the lamp or luminant when it is
hot.
2.Do not touch the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp with denatured
alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
3.The lamp generates UV radiation. Never operate the lamp without appropriate shielding.
4. When burning, the lamp operates at high pressure and there is a slight risk of arc tube
rupture. The risk increases with age, temperature and improper handling of the lamp. Do
not use the lamp any longer than its specified life.
5. Make sure the lamp is located in the center of the reflector for the best spot.
In case of replacement of the lamp or maintenance, do not open the
fixtu
r
e within 15 minutes until the unit cools down after switchin
g
off.

6. If changing the lamp, remove old lamp from lamp socket. Hold the new lamp only by its
ceramic base. Never touch the glass bulb. Insert the new lamp in the lamp socket.
7. Please turn the head in horizontal position. Hinge must be on the upper side of the head.
Turn screws left and remove plastic cover. Loosen head screw and open the lamp cover
8. With the nipple of the lamp facing the back insert one end of the lamp into the socket. Pull
up the spring of the other side of the socket and snap the other end of the lamp into place.
Make sure it fits correctly into the socket. Please refer to the diagram to know how to put
the lamp in correct position.

5. How To Control The Unit
Two ways to operate:
1. By universal DMX controller
2. By dedicated controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address
setting will be effected at once. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show 1200 on the
display and move all the motors to their ‘home’ position and you may hear some noises for
about 20 seconds. After that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal.
5.1 DMX Controller
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from
1 to 512 channels so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENUbutton up to when the is shown on the display. Pressing ENTER
button and the display will blink. Use DOWNand UP button to change the DMX512 address.
Once the address has been selected, press and keep ENTERbutton pressed up to when
the display stops blinking or storing automatically 8 seconds later. To go back to the
functions without any change press the MENU button again.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units.
6 Channels：
11F
5.2 Dedicated Controller
IF-series has 6 channels for international protocol DMX512. It can finish all operations via
dedicated controller without using other controllers. When the power is switched on, the
projector automatically starts to run the self-test. After finishing these, the fixture is ready for
operation.
1. DIMMER OPEN buttons: Holding the buttons, the light beam will become more stronger
and stronger, then shutter will obtain max. value. After un-holding it, the light beam and
shutter resumes its initial condition. There are 2 buttons on the both sides of the controller
for your convenient operation.
2. IRIS OPEN buttons: Holding the buttons, the light iris will become more bigger and
bigger. After un-holding it, the light beam resumes its initial condition. There are 2 buttons
on the both sides of the controller for your convenient operation.
3. FIXED COLOURS & RAINBOW switch: Turning the switch on the RAINBOW position,
enable the rainbow function, you can set different rainbow speed by pressing COLOUR
buttons from slow to fast. Turning the switch on the FIXED COLOURS position, enable
the fixed colors function and disable the rainbow function. They will save last setting
automatically in each step.
4. COLOUR buttons: There are 9 color buttons of white, red, yellow, magenta, green,
orange, blue, pink and purple. Select the light beam colors by pressing the relative color
buttons.
5. COLOUR TEMPERATURE switch: Adjusting this switch to obtain 3 kinds of color
temperature: Standard 6000K, 5600K and 3200K.

12F
6. DIMMER slider: Adjusting the slider from 0% to 100% position, the light beam will
become more stronger and stronger till the dimmer reach 100%.
7. SHUTTER slider: Adjusting the slider from slow to fast position, the strobe speed will
become from slow to fast.
8. IRIS slider: Adjusting the slider from min. to max. position, the light beam size will
become more bigger and bigger till the iris opened fully.
9. FOCUS slider: Adjusting the suitable focus by pushing this slider from left to right.
65. 3 DMX512 Configuration
13F
5.4 DMX512 Connection
The DMX512 is widely used in intelligent lighting control, with a maximum of 512 channels.
1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin
adapter-cable.
2. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 ohm
1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in
the DMX-output of the last unit.
3. Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` by XLR plug from the output of the unit to the
input of the next unit. The cable can not branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX512 is a
very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded
connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
4. The DMX signal is able to pass through each fixture continuously, so if one fixture in the
chain is out of order, all the fixtures after this point will not be affected.
5. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller.
The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
6. The end of the DMX512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)

6. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work
1. Check the connect power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
3. Check the power on LED.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. Check the address settings and DMX polarity.
2. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB
of the unit or the previous one.
3. Try to use another DMX controller.
4. Check in the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may
cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. One of the channels is not working well
1. The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB is broken.
2. The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition.
D. The lamp is cutting out intermittently
1.The lamp is not working well. Check the main voltage either too high or too low.
2.Internal temperature may be too high. Check and if necessary replace the fan.
15F
7. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out
periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in
which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater
accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
 Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
 Always dry the parts carefully.
 Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every
30/60 days.
