SAFE USAGE OF THE PROJECTOR
When unpacking and before disposing of the carton check there is no transportation damage before
using the projector. Retain the carton for possible future transportation. Should there be any damage
caused by transportation, consult your dealer and do not use the apparatus.
The projector is for Indoor use only, IP20. Use only in dry locations. Keep this device away from rain
and moisture, excessive heat, humidity and dust. Do not allow contact with water or any other fluids, or
metallic objects.
The projector is not designed or intended to be mounted directly on to inflammable surfaces.
The projector is only intended for installation, operation and maintenance by qualified personnel.
The projector must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 50cm from adjacent
surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.
Do not project the beam onto inflammable surfaces, minimum distance is 3m. 3m
Avoid direct exposure to the light from the lamp. The light is harmful to the eye.
Do not attempt to dismantle and/or modify the projector in any way.
Electrical connection must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Before installation, ensure that the voltage and frequency of power supply match the power
requirements of the projector.
It is essential that each projector is correctly earthed and that electrical installation conforms to all
relevant standards.
Do not connect this device to any dimmer pack.
Make sure that the power cable is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Never let the power-
cable come into contact with other cables. Only handle the power cable by the plug. Never pull out the
plug by tugging the power cable.
Keep the lamp clean. Do not touch the lamp glass with bare hands.
The projector should always be installed with a secondary safety fixing. A safety cord is supplied for
this, it should be attached as shown in the “installing the projector” section.
The lamp used in this projector is an MSD 250W discharge lamp. After being switched off don’t
attempt to restart the projector until lamp has cooled, this will require approx 15 minutes. Switching the
lamp on and off at short intervals will reduce the life of both the lamp and the projector.
Never run the projector without a lamp.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the projector, do not open the housing and never operate
the projector with the covers removed.

The projector should be mounted via its brackets, each using 2 M12 bolts. The brackets attach to the
underside of the projector with 4 M8x25 bolts provided. Always ensure that the projector is firmly
anchored to avoid vibration and slipping whilst functioning. Always ensure that the structure to which
you are attaching the projector is secure and is able to support a weight of 20.1Kg for each PILOT
WASH. For safety the projector should have a secondary fixing with a safety chain through the holes
on the underside of the unit. You can adjust the screw illustrated to let the Fresenel lens in or out for
magnifying/lessening the images or soft/focusing the beams.
WARNING: The projector should NEVER be lifted or carried by the yoke.
FITTING THE LAMP
Loosen the 3 access screws at the rear of the projector and pull the lamp access hatch straight out
from the rear of the projector. (When changing a lamp, you must let the old lamp cool sufficiently
before opening the lamp access hatch). Insert an MSD 250W lamp in the lamp holder.
Close the access hatch carefully and re-tighten the 3 access screws.

NOTE: To optimize light output it will be necessary to adjust the lamp alignment to obtain an even
distribution of light within the beam. The three screws (marked A, B, and C) may be gently turned to
center the lamp within the reflector. The projector should be switched on with the shutter open and the
beam focused to do this, it is also advisable to allow the lamp 5 minutes to come up to full brightness
before starting to align it. Note: the three screws will only need a small adjustment to centre the lamp,
do not try to unscrew them completely. Read the rest of this manual and then come back to this
section to align the lamp.
The MSD series are high pressure lamps with external igniters ( ). Care should always be taken
when handling these lamps. Always read the manufacturers "Instructions for use" enclosed with the
lamp.

Connection between controller and projector and between one projector and another must be made
with 2 core screened cable, with each core having at least a 0.5mm diameter. Connection to and from
the projector is via cannon 3 pin XLR plugs and sockets which are included with the projector. The
XLR's are connected as shown in the table above.
Note, care should be taken to ensure that none of the connections touch the body of the plug or each
other. The body of the plug is not connected in any way. The PILOT WASH accepts digital control
signals in standard DMX512 (1990) format.
Connect the controller’s output to the first fixture’s input, and connect the first fixture’s output to the
second fixture’s input. The rest may be deduced by analogy. Eventually connect the last fixture’s
output to a DMX terminator as shown in the figure below.

DMX TERMINATOR
At the last fixture in the chain, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX terminator. This
prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals. The DMX terminator
is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω(ohm) resistor connected across pins 2 and 3, which is then
plugged into the output socket on the last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.

PROJECTOR DMX START ADDRESS
GREEN LED RED LED
FUNC DOWN UP ENTER
Each PILOT WASH must be given a DMX start address so that the correct projector responds to the
correct control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the projector starts
to “listen” to the digital control information being sent out from the controller. The PILOT WASH has 10
channels, so set the No. 1 projector’s address 001, No. 2 projector’s address 011, No. 3 projector’s
address 021, No. 4 projector’s address 031, and so on.
The display shows the DMX start address after the projector is switched on (if you have already set
the DMX start address and saved it, the screen will display the last setting).

TO SET THE DMX START ADDRESS
Press the UP or DOWN buttons and the display will show the DMX start address.
Confirm your choice by pressing the ENTER button, this will save and set the DMX start address.
The display will show the latest setting each time the projector is powered up.
To control the projector with a DMX controller the DMX start address must be set.
Ensure that none of the Stand-Alone options are set or they will interfere with correct DMX operation.
DMX CONTROL CHANNEL FUNCTIONS
The PILOT WASH uses 10 DMX channels. They are listed in the following table.

NOTE
Soft Reset – If the DMX value sent on this channel (1) stays in the range from 5 to 7 for more than 5
seconds, the projector will start a reset sequence (Remote Requested Reset). The electronics are re-
started and all motors moved to their home positions exactly as they do when the power is first
switched on but the lamp is not switched off in this sequence, although the beam will be blacked out.
The channels 9 and 10 are only available when the Setup Option 6 is “ON”.
For the exact setting refer to “Setup Options” section.
STAND-ALONE MODE
The projectors can operate without a controller. They can do this in one of 3 different ways. Stand-
Alone Mode means automatic operation independent of other projectors and can either be automatic
or triggered by music depending on the combination of Setup Options 4 and 5 that are selected.
The projectors can also operate synchronously with each other in Master/Slave mode. To do this they
must be connected together as described above in the Control Connections section with the terminator
inserted in the output of the last slave projector in the chain but, of course, without the controller. The
same type of DMX cables must be used to connect the Master with the Slaves. The appropriate Setup
Options must also be set. See the section on “Setup Options – Projector Configuration” for full details
of the available combinations.
Select one projector as the Master, setting the DMX start address at random. Regard the other
projectors as the slaves setting all DMX start addresses to “001”.
Never have more than ONE (1) projector configured as Master or the system will not work.

MAINTENANCE
If the projector’s lens becomes damaged or broken it should be replaced.
If the lamp becomes damaged or deformed in any way it must be replaced.
If the light from the lamp appears dim this would normally indicate that it is reaching the end of its life
and it should be changed at once, old lamps run to the extremity of their life can explode.
If the projector does not function, check the fuses on the power socket of the projector, they should
only be replaced by fuses of the same specified value 6.3A/250V (fast blow, 5mmx20mm).
On the main PCB inside the projector there is also a fuse rated 4A/250V (fast blow, 5mmx20mm).
Should these be damaged call a qualified technician before replacement.
The projector has 2 thermal protection devices that will switch off the projector in case of overheating,
should either of these operate, check that the fans are not blocked, and if they are dirty clean them
before switching on the projector again. Check that the fans are operational, if not call a qualified
technician.
Any maintenance work should only be carried out by qualified technicians.
KEEPING THE PROJECTOR CLEAN
To ensure the reliability of the projector it should be kept clean. It is recommended that the fans should
be cleaned every 15 days. The lens and dichroic colour filters should also be regularly cleaned to
maintain an optimum light output.
Do NOT use any type of solvent on dichroic colour filters.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoke or
particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics. A soft cloth
and typical glass cleaning products should be used in cleaning. It is recommended to clean the
external optics at least once every 20 days and clean the internal optics at least once every 30 / 60
days.
Do not use any organic solvent, e.g. alcohol, to clean the housing of the apparatus.
