4) Construction
4.1) Mechanical Construction of the Projector
The light sheet metal housing with double wall heat isolation system is mounted in a
stable support yoke (8). Fine adjustment (2) is accomplished by means of adjustable
telescoping rails on either side (7). The image plane with slide carrier can be
rotated +/-90° by losening the clamping lever (9) on the upper part of the housing.
The 18x 18 cm diapositives individually can be exactly adjusted with the aid of
adjustment screws. The slide carrier is held in exact position by means of a spring
loaded locking pin (11). By lifting the ball knob (11), the slide may be freely moved
into the new position where it locks into position automatically.
4.2) Electrical Assembly of theProjector
The complete electrical section is located in the black finished lower housing area; It
is mounted to the green main housing with 4 screws.
4.3) Slide Carrier and Slide Cooling Fan
The slide cooling fan has two mounting configurations (It is mounted with 2 captured
hex head screws-No. 4 hex wrench included):
The upper position, closest to the slide, provides optimum cooling, the slide carrrier
can however be rotated only +/-6°.
When choosing the lower position, the slide carrrier can be rotated ± 90°.
ATTENTION: Slide cooling with the fan in the lower position is less efficient!
4.3.1) Electrical Connection of the Slide Cooling Fan
The electrical connection of the slide cooling fan is accomplished with a 5- pole
connector, so that the fan housing can be removed from the projector both
mechanically and electrically. 2 contacts in this connector are wire in such a way that
when the connector is not plugged in the projector is shut down.
4.3.2) Mode Switch "TURBO -Standard -Low Noise"
A "TURBO -Standard -Low Noise" mode switch is located on the slide cooling fan
housing (12).
ATTENTION: Use "Low-Noise" Mode only when silent operation is necessary, as
cooling efficiency is reduced. Do not project dark slides or slides with large dark
regions in this case. Use “TURBO” Mode if noise doesn´t matter and dark slides
should be protected for lasting projections.

5) Operation
5.1 ) HMI-Lamp
5.1.1) Installation and Replacement of the HMI-Lamp
For operation of the Projector a single ended HMI-Lamp 4000 W is required. Order
Code: 37206
a) Disconnect the projector from the power source!
b) Open the quick fastener (4) on the housing with a screw driver. Lift up the housing cover
(5) . A built in safety switch prevents an accidental operation of the unit when the housing is
open.
c) Lift out the reflector plate and reflector after removing the knurled screw at the other end
of the distance bar.
d) Insert and / or replace the lamp.
e) Replace the reflector into the slot of the bottom distance rods and tighten knurled screw.
f) Close the housing and lock the quick fastener.
ATTENTION: Do not touch the quartz envelope of the lamp with your fingers during
installation. Finger prints can be burned in !
5.1.2) Lamp Adjustment
Each projector is carefully adjusted at the factory (lamp base, reflector and
condenser). With the high precision manufacturing of halogen lamps, adjustment of
the lamp is rarely necessary. In direction of the optical axis the HMI-lamp can be
brought into another position from the outside on the lower part of the projector by
losening the two screws on the bottom (3) and moving the two screws forwards or
backwards. After finding the best position re-tighten the screws.
5.2) Vertical Adjustment of the Projector
a) Rough Positioning:
For rough positioning, loosen the clamping lever on (1) both sides and move the
projector to the desired position. Re–tighten the lever.
b) Fine Adjustment:
For fine adjustment of the projektor turn the star grip (2) and bring the projector into
the exact position.
5.3) Yoke Assembly for „Standing“ or „Hanging“
Configurations
Separate the support yoke (8) (2 M 10 Nuts) and the telescope rails (7) on both
sides from the projector; Turn the support yoke around 180° such that it is mounted
again as a hanging yoke. Re-connect the telescoping rails.

5.4) Using the Tilt Angle Meter
For safe operation it is necessary to respect the tilt
range of the projector (see General Technical Data
on page 21).
Use the delivered Tilt Angle Meter by applying it on
the top edge of the projector (before operation). The
red locator indicates the actual tilt angle.

7) Electrical Connection
(See Electrical Schematic 230-02-01/a)
The HMI Stage Projector BP 4 CT is used in conjunction with the ballast 4000 W,
220/240V-50 Hz, 208/220V-60 Hz (Order Code: 19203).
The ballast incorporates a choke which limits lamp power to 24 A.
Main power is interrupted when the projector housing is opened.
7.1) Main Power Connection
Universal -ballast 4000 W, 220/240 V- 50 Hz, 208/ 220 V- 60 Hz
Main Power Cable 3x 4 square millimeters, two meters long with open leads
Phase R: brown, Neutral N: blue, Ground PE: yellow/green
Connected to power source 230 V/ 50 Hz, 25 A
7.2) Connecting Cable Ballast -Projector
On the Universal -ballast there is one lamp current cable mounted with a CEE -
clutch 4x 32 A and one remote cable with a 10-pin clutch. Standardlength is 3 m
(may be extended –for extremely long runs wire gauge may need to be larger). Both
cables are connected to the projector by using the mounted plugs.
The "ON" and the "OFF“ function can be performed at either the ballast or the
projector. Thus, it is possible to locate the ballast away from the projector.
7.3) Remote Ignition -DMX 512
For ignition and shut down of the projector by a DMX 512 signal, a relay card and
associated DMX In connector are located on the projector (Ignition Pos. 8). In
addition the optional Universal DMX 512 interface and the corresponding ignition
cable are necessary (for further information see the instruction manual of the
Universal DMX 512 Interface).

8) Objective Lenses
8.1) Front Condenser Lens
In the BP 4 CT, there are 4 different front condenser lenses to choose from,
depending on the focal length objective lens required. These are as follows:
PC Diameter 230 mm, multicoated
for Objective Lens f= 11; 13,5; 18; 22 and 27 cm, Order Code: 12440
PC Diameter 230 mm, multicoated
for Objective Lens f= 33 and 40 cm, Order Code: 12441
PC Diameter 230 mm, multicoated
for Objective Lens f= 50 and 60 cm Order Code: 12442
PC Diameter 230 mm, multicoated
for Objective Lens f= 80 cm and 125 cm Order Code: 12443
8.2) Projection Objective Lenses
Optional projection objective lenses (focal lengths from f=11 to 125cm) and one
ZOOM projections objective lens 25 –60 cm are mounted on the four support bolts
on the front of the projector. Each lens is fixed in place by four wing nuts. The focal
length (f=) depends upon the projection distance and desired picture size. This is
illustrated further with the aid of the projection diagram. Focus is achieved by sliding
the objective lens forward or back along the optical axis. The focus position is fixed
in place by two milled nuts located on either side of each objective lens.
8.3) Effect-and Varioobjective Lenses
To enhance the system of projection objective lenses, effects and vario-objective
lenses are available. Effects Lenses (focal lengths of f=80/100 mm, 150 mm, 180
mm, 250mm and 310 mm) provide a strong light output with good color correction,
and may be used where an increase in depth or specific distortions are desired.
With the aid of the vario-objective lenses [focal lengths of f=20-40 cm (motorized)
and f=30-60 cm manual it is possible to enlarge or reduce image size. With the the
f=20 –40 cm / motorized it is possible to change the image size at different speeds.
IMPORTANT NOTES
WHEN USING WIDE ANGLE LENSES:
The projector must never be operated without a slide, with dimming shutters closed
for longer than one minute!
GENERAL SAFETY TIP:
NEVER USE THE PROJECTOR WITHOUT ANY OBJECTIVE LENS!!!

10) Slide (Transparency) Material
Because of the ever changing available film materials, we do not wish to suggest
any specific type. Our best recommendation however comes from our own
experience with film type Agfaclear (from Agfa), type Duraclear (from Kodak) and
type Ilfochrome (from Ilford). We can suggest that only professional photo labs who
will care for your work be used. Not only for which development process is used but
also the quality.
Since short times also budget-priced ink jet printed foils are used to make slides.
Please infourm yourself about actuals on our homepage ( www.pani.com ). In the
download area you´ll find the latest information.
Photographic transparencies should not be mounted between glass. The heat build-
up will be such that the slides will be destroyed. Necessary cooling of photographic
transparencies can only be guaranteed when using Special Slide Frames (Order
code: 12802 for 18 x 18 cm).
For simple and fast mounting in these frames we recommend the use of the Special
Slide Punching Machine (Order code: 12801 for 18 x 18 cm slides).
With hand painted slides, two glass plates are required such that the hand painted
side is protected by a cover glass. An air gap of 1 mm is achieved by placing 4
cardboard strips between the plates at the corners. The assembly is held together
with two strips of tape as shown below.
General remark:
If possible, insert the slide with the layer averted from the projector to protect
the layer!
