Note:

1. the distance between the foot

of the base and the front lens

cover(the head facing

downward)

2. the

distance between

mounting truss and the front

lens cover( the head facing

downward)

3. The maximum diameter of

the rotating head ( minimum

spacing between fixtures)

WARNING:

●The projector MUST be lifted or carried by the HANDLES instead of clamps.

●.For safety the safety cord should afford 10 times the Projector’s weight.

It must use secondary safety accessory like appropriate net. The structures of the secondary accessory must ensure that while

malfunction happens, the installed parts won’t fall to the ground.

While rigging, mounting or maintaining, the projector mustn’t be placed in the areas listed hereinafter: the bridge, high work areas

or other dangerous areas.

The operator of the projector or its related safety items must be accepted by safety experts before first launching or re-running after

any replacements or repairing.

The operator must ensure a test before acceptance every 4 years and the related safety measures and installation accepted by

experts.

The operator must ensure the related safety measures and its installation must be approved by the technicians every year. The

projector may be installed in places under which people may walk by or sit. Important! Installations in high places requires wide

experience, including but not limited to load limit calculation, the installing materials needed and regular inspection of installing

materials and the projectors. If lacking the qualifications, please don’t try installation by yourself, but seek help from professionals

using designated lifting gears. Abnormal installation may cause body harm or property damages.

The projectors must be installed in places where people can’t reach. If they are removed from ceiling or high places, professional

truss must be used. It is forbidden to let any projector move freely in a room after installation.

Note: Device falling down can cause heavy body harm! If you have any questions about its safety, don’t install any projector!

Before installation, please ensure mounting areas can endure 10 times the weight of a project at least.

●POWER CONNECTION

Connect the power cord as follows:

L (live) =brown

E (earth) =yellow/green

N (neutral) =blue

Before power connection, please ensure the power supplied must match what the nameplate says. It is recommended that each

projector be connected with power separately so that they may be individually switched on and off.

●The earth wire(yellow/green) must be connected to the ground. And electrical connection

must be in accordance with the standards concerned.

●If any questions about the electrical installation, do not continue but consult a qualified

electrician.

●DMX CONTROL CONNECTION

Connection between controller and projector and between one projector and another must be made with a twin-screened cable, with each

wire having at least a 0.5mm in diameter. Connection to and from the projector is via cannon 5 pin (which are included with the projector)

or 5 pin XLR plugs and sockets. The XLR's are connected as shown in the figure above.

Note: care should be taken to ensure that none of the pins touch the metallic body of the plug or each other. XLR plugs and sockets mustn’t

be connected in any way other than mentioned in the above figure. The XR330BWS accepts digital control signals in protocol DMX512

(1990).

Connect the controller’s DMX output to the first fixture’s DMX input, and connect the first fixture’s DMX output to the second fixture’s

DMX input and connect the rest fixtures in the same way. Eventually connect the last fixture’s DMX output to a DMX terminator as shown

in the figure below.

●DMX TERMINATOR

In the Controller mode, 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.

●ADJUSTMENT/INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT OF A LAMP

The procedures for the replacement/adjustment of a lamp

1. Select LAMP OFF under the menu after a fixture is on mains power. Then shut it off from the mains power

2. Loosen 8 screws of the plastic cover

3. Loosen 4 screws of the fan frame, unplug the fan and remove the module

4. Push the upper lamp clipping plate making the spring contract, at the same time push the lamp towards the opposite direction

till it is off the plate. At last remove the lamp obliquely.

5. The installation of the lamp is like its removal

6. After the lamp is in the right position, install the fan module, fix it using screws, plug the fan with fan wires, check if the lamp

wires are plugged properly and strike the lamp at last.

7. After lamp on, focus a gobo well. If the light spot is not centered, use flat screwdriver to adjust the lamp’s adjusting screws

8. After lamp adjustment, set LAMP OFF under menu. Shut the fixture off the main power and fix the plastic cover to complete

it.
