3.5) 28mm DIN- Stud with Welded Mounting Plate
Order Code: 12039
.1) Mechanical Construction of the Projector
The light sheet metal housing with double wall heat isolation system is mounted in a
stable support yo e (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
loc ing pin (11). By lifting the ball nob (11), the slide may be freely moved into the
new position where it loc s into position automatically.
.2) Electrical Assembly of theProjector
The complete electrical section is located in the blac finished lower housing area; It
is mounted to the green main housing with 4 screws.
.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!
POSITION NUMBERS SEE PAGE 4
11

Stage Projector BP 2,5 CT Pani Projection and Lighting Vertriebs GmbH
.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.
.3.2) Mode Switch "Standard - Low Noise"
A "Standard - Low Noise" Mode switch is located on the slide cooling fan housing
(12) (operated with a small screwdriver). 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.
5) Operating Tips
5.1 ) HMI- Lamp
5.1.1) Lamp Installation and Replacement of the HMI- Lamp
For operation of the Projector a single ended HMI- Lamp 2500 W is required. Order
Code: 37202
a) Disconnect the projector from the power source!
b) Open the quic fastener (4) on the housing with a screw driver. Lift off the
housing cover (5) and set it aside. 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 wing 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 wing
screw.
f) Close the housing and loc the quic fastener.
ATTENTION: Do not touch the quart envelope of the lamp with your fingers during
installation. Finger prints can be burned in !
5.1.2) Lamp Adjustment
Three (3) adjustment screws are located on der underside of the Projector for
adjustment of the lamp.
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. The HMI-lamp is supported at three points and can be
brought into the desired position from the outside on the lower part of the projector
with a three point adjustment. Proper adjustment of the lamp renders correct light
distribution and color reproduction and prevents improper imaging.
POSITION NUMBERS SEE PAGE 4
12

Stage Projector BP 2,5 CT Pani Projection and Lighting Vertriebs GmbH
Following steps must be observed for adjustment of the lamp in this sequence:
1) With the aid of adjustment screws (1) and (2) the height of the lamp is moved in
relation to the optical axis.
2) With the projector switched on, examine the light distribution. Adjust screws (1)
and (2) accordingly.
3) Color shift: If the lamp is too far from the mirror, a blue color shift will appear; if too
close, a yellow shift will occur. Turn screw (3) until this effect disappears.
Adjustment screw (1) (2) (3)
Hexagonal ey Nr. 4
Screw (4) is adjusted at the factory
DON´T TWIST!
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 proje tor turn the star grip (2) and
bring the projector into the exact position.
5.3) Yoke Assembly:„Standing“ or „Hanging“ Configuration
Separate the support yo e (8) (2 M 10 Nuts) and the telescope rails (7) on both sides
from the projector; Turn the support yo e around 180° such that it is mounted again
as a hanging yo e. Re-connect the telescoping
rails.
5. ) 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 18).
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 222 – 15 - 35 )
The Stage Projector BP 2,5 CT is used in conjunction with the ballast BC 2500 W,
220/240V - 50Hz, Current 16 A (Order Code: D 1525). The ballast incorporates a
cho e which limits lamp power to 25,6 A. Main power is interrupted when the
projector housing is opened.
7.1) Main Connection
BC 2500 W, 220/240V - 50Hz
Main Power Cable 3x2,5 square millimeters, two meters long with Schu o connector
(blac ). Phase R: brown, Neutral N: blue, Ground: yellow/green
Connected to power source 220VAC/50Hz. 16 A
7.2) Connecting Cable Ballast - Projector
Between the ballast and projector is a 3x4 square mm + 4x1 square mm in a single
cable. The standard length is 3 meters. This can be extended but must be tested if
extremely long runs are required. The connection is made with connector bodies at
both the ballast and projector end of the cable. 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.

Stage Projector BP 2,5 CT Pani Projection and Lighting Vertriebs GmbH
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. 7). 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 2.5 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, Best. Nr.: 12440
PC Diameter 230 mm, multicoated
for Objective Lens f= 33 and 40 cm, Best. Nr.: 12441
PC Diameter 230 mm, multicoated
for Objective Lens f= 50 and 60 cm Best. Nr.: 12442
PC Diameter 230 mm, multicoated
for Objective Lens f= 80 cm and 125 cm Best. Nr.: 12443
8.2) Projection Objective Lenses
Optional projection objective lenses (focal lengths from f=11 to 80cm) 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 bac 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 REMARKS
WHEN USING WIDE ANGLE LENSES (11-18cm):
The projector must never be operated without a slide, with dimming shutters closed
for longer than one minute!
COMMON SAFETY REMARK:
NEVER USE THE PROJECTOR WITHOUT ANY OBJECTIVE LENS,
BECAUSE OF SAFETY REASONS !!!

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 Duraclear (from Koda ) and type Ilfochrome (from Ilford). We can
suggest that only professional photo labs who will care for your wor be used. Not
only for which development process is used but also the quality.
Since short times also budget-priced in jet printed foils are used to ma e 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 remar :
If possible, insert the slide with the layer averted from the projector to protect
the layer!
