4/14
The projector should be mounted via its
bracket using 2 M12 bolts. The bracket
itself attaches 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 move the Fresnel
lens in or out to change the beam size
and focus.
WARNING: The projector should NEVER
be lifted or carried by the yoke.
Loosen the 3 access screws at the rear of the projector and pull the lamp access hatch
straight out from the rearof the projector. (When changing a lamp, you must first let the
projector cool sufficiently.)
Insert an MSD 250W lamp in the lamp holder.
Reinstall the lamp access hatch, and then tighten the 3 access screws.
NOTE: Close the access hatch carefully and re-tighten the 3 screws. 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.

5/14
Use the plug provided to connect the mains power to the projector paying attention to the
voltage and frequency marked on the panel of the projector. It is recommended that each
projector is supplied separately so that they may be individually switched on and off.
Voltage and frequency may be changed —See “changing the operation voltage and/or
frequency” section at the back of this manual.
IMPORTANT
It is essential that each projector is correctly earthed and the electrical installation conforms
to all relevant standards. Power consumption of the PILOT WASH is 480W at 220V.
The projector may be operated either in Stand-Alone automatic mode or be controlled via
standard DMX512 by a controller. With the touch-switches and the digital display screen,
DMX start address can be easily set and the various setup options may be configured.
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).

XLR CONNECTORS
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.
5-PIN AND 3-PIN CONVERSION
PILOT WASH uses 3-pin XLR plug / socket. If your controller uses 5-pin XLR plug / socket,
you should convert 5-pin plug / socket into 3-pin socket / plug as shown below.
XLR CONNECTORS AND TERMINATOR

Pilot Wash manual.doc
7/14
DMX TERMINATOR
In the Controller mode, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX terminator at the
last fixture in the chain. 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 above.
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 if high resolution (16 bit) Pan & Tilt have been enabled
(see the table in the next page), 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 PILOT WASH has 8 channels if high resolution (16 bit) Pan & Tilt have been disabled,
so set the No. 1 projector’s address 001, No. 2 projector’s address 009, No. 3 projector’s
address 017, No. 4 projector’s address 025, and so on.
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.
When a DMX 512 signal is received the LED will illuminate green. When not receiving a
DMX signal the green and red LEDs will be off.

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.

MAINTENANCE

Pilot Wash manual.doc
9/14
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
projector.

To be carried out by qualified engineers only.
The power input settings of the PILOT WASH may be changed to suit the supply in the area
where the unit is operated. The voltage and frequency is pre-set at the factory and will be
marked on the exterior of the unit.
Any error or mistake in setting the frequency or voltage of the projector may seriously
damage the unit.
Open both plastic covers of the base by undoing the 4 screws on the top of the base and
the 8 screws on the very rim of the underside.
To Change the Voltage
Locate the transformer and select the appropriate voltage from 100V, 120V, 200V, 220V,
230V and 245V according to the local supply voltage. The voltages are marked on the
transformer. Move only the incoming power cable that was connected to the factory set
voltage as marked on the projector. Under NO circumstances should you move the cable
attached to the 0V connection.
It is strongly recommended that you immediately mark the new voltage on the projector so
that it may not be mistaken for the factory set voltage.
To Change the Frequency
Locate the ballast in the base of the projector, and select the required frequency from 50Hz
or 60Hz by moving the cable to the appropriate position. The ballast will be labelled to show
the connections.
Never move or disconnect the cable attached to the connector marked “Ph”.
It is strongly recommended that you immediately mark the new frequency on the projector
so that it may not be mistaken for the factory set frequency.
Once finished with the settings, re-assemble the base of the projector and covers.
