INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
a) Installing or replacing the lamp
CAUTION
Only install the lamp with the device unplugged from the mains.
CAUTION
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed.
Before replacing the lamp let the lamp cool down, because during operation, the lamp can
reach very high temperature.
During the installation of halogen lamps do not touch the glass bulbs bare handed. Always use a
cloth to handle the lamps during insertion and removal.
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They generate higher temperatures than which the device
was designed for.
For the installation, you need one: □CDMT150 G12 lamp ; 
□
√MSD250/2 GY9.5 lamp ;
Procedure :
1 2 3 4
1) Unscrew the 2 screws on the back of the housing, holding the plate where the lamp is underneath.
2) Gently pull the socket holder using the knob in the middle.
3) Carefully insert the lamp into the socket. Please remember there is only one way to insert the lamp.
Gently slide the lamp and its lamp holder back into place and fasten the 2 screws.
4) On the access plate there are 3 small screws marked 1,2 and 3.which are used to adjust the lamp
holder in the lamp housing. You can adjust the 3 screws to fine-turn the position of the lamp to get
the maximum light output as shown below.
- 5 - WIT044 V1.6-03NR

Please remember the lamp is not a hot-restrike type, you must wait for approximately 10
minutes after having turned off the lamp before you can turn it back on again.
CAUTION
Do not operate this device with open cover
b) Mounting the device
CAUTION
Please consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the other respective national norms during the
installation. The installation must only be carried out by a qualified person.
The installation of the effect 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
safety cable.
Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing the fixture.
The operator has to make sure the safety relating and machine technical installations are approved by
an expert before taking the device into operation for the first time.
These installations have to be approved by a skilled person once a year.
CAUTION
Before taking into operation for the first time,
the installation has to be approved by an expert.
- 6 - WIT044 V1.6-03NR

Cautions:
The effect should be installed outside areas where persons may reach it, walk by or be seated.
CAUTION
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly
inflammable material within a distance of min. 0,5m
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating
working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the
installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.
CAUTION
The electric connection must only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Before mounting make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the
device’s weight.
Connect the fixture to the mains with the power plug.
installation via the Omega holders
Screw one clamp each via a M10 screw and nut directly into the bracket of the scanner. Pull the safety-chain
through the bracket of the base and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot.

DMX-512 control connection
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other
side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple
Moving head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable
with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy
environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in
preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply
an XLR plug with a 120 Ωresistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the
output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.
Address1 Address9 Address17
Projector DMX start address selection
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct
fixture responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number
from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX
controller. The allocation of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct number on the
display located on the base of the device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures , or make different
address for each fixture individually.
If you set the same address, all the units will start to “listen” to the same control signal from the same
channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures
- 8 - WIT044 V1.6-03NR

simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set,
based on the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one
channel will affect only the selected fixture.
In the case of the spot head, which is a 11 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the
first unit to 1, the second unit to 9 (8 + 1), the third to 17 (9 + 8), and so on.

1. After switching on, the device 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 will flash "A001" 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 device.
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the
input connector.
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.
2. If the lamp is on, the the display will show "A00.1" with the actually set address. If the lamp is off, the the
display will show "A001" with the actually set address.
Control Board
The Control Board offers several features: you can simply set the starting address, switch on and off the lamp, run
the pre-programmed program or make a reset.
The main menu is accessed by pressing the Mode/esc-button until the display starts flashing. Browse through the
menu by pressing the Up-button or Down-button. Press the Enter-button in order to select the desired menu. You
can change the selection by pressing the Up-button or Down-button. Confirm every selection by pressing the
Enter-button. You can leave every mode by pressing the Mode/esc-button . The functions provided are described in
the following sections.
