DANGER!
Install the gobos with the device switched off only.
Unplug from mains before changing gobos!
Open the cover by loosening the fastening screw at the sides of the cover.

3. Lamp
WARNING
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.
MSD 250W/ NSD 250/2 W
1. Always switch off the main supply and never
handle the lamp or luminaire 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
fixture within 15 minutes until the unit cools down after switching off.

G. If The pan belt is broken
1. Turn off the main power.
2. Unscrew all the screws (A) and open the base-housing cover (B).
3. Unscrew all the screws (C) and open the arm cover (D).
4. Unplug all the connect wires that from the arm to the bottom.
5. Unscrew the screws (E) and remove the fixture head.
6. Loose the screws (F), then loose the screws (G).
7. Change a new belt (H) , put the belt around the axis gear and motor gear.
8. Screwed the screws (G), install the new belt and adjust the belt tension properly. Note: do
not fix belt too tight as it is easy to rupture.
9. Plug all the connect wires back that form the bottom to the arm.
10. Reverse the procedures from point 5 to point 2.

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. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and
DMX polarity.
3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB of
the unit or the previous one.
4. Try to use another DMX controller.
5. Check to see if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may
cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. Some units don’t respond to the easy controller
1. You may have a break in the DMX cabling. Check the LED for the response of the master/
slave mode signal.
2. Wrong DMX address in the unit. Set the proper address.
D. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the unit is not receiving DMX signal.
2. Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone.
E. 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.
F. 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 on the
head.

5.5. DMX512 Connection
The DMX512 is widely used in intelligent lighting control, with a maximum of 512
channels.
1. If you use a controller with 5 pins DMX connector, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin adapter.
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 cable from the output of the
unit to the input of the next unit. The cable cannot be 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 output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit,
when power is disconnected to the unit.
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 pins 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 (+)

For lamp on, put DMX value of CH-8 to 247 & CH-16 to 255.
For lamp off, put DMX value of CH-8 to 239 & CH-16 to 255.

5.1. Master/Slave Built-In Preprogrammed Function
Once you control the unit by Built-In program, be sure the unit is setting on mode
via menu.
By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit will control the other units to
give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good when you
want an instant show. You have to select show (show 1, 2, 3, 4) modes for the first unit
(master). Its DMX input jack will have nothing plugged into it, and Its master LED will be
constantly on and sound LED will flash to the music. The other units will have to set in slave
mode and select (normal) or (2 light show) mode, Their DMX
cables plugged into the DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the slave LED lights will
constantly on.

In (slave mode), means the unit works normally and means
2-light show. In order to create a great light show, you can set on the second unit
to get contrast movement to each other, even if you have two units only.
5.2. Easy Controller
The easy remote control is used only in master/slave mode. By
connecting to the 1/4” microphone jack of the first unit, you will find
that the remote control on the first unit will control all the other units for

5. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in three ways:
1. By master/slave built-in preprogrammed function
2. By easy controller
3. By universal DMX 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 I250 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 or run the built-in
programs.
