4.8 DMX- 512 connection, master/slave connection
The wires must not come into contact with each other,otherwise
the fixtures will not work at all,or will not work properly.
Onlyuse aRS-485data cable and3-pin XLR connectorsin order toconnect the controllerwiththe fixtureorone
fixturewith another.Theconnectors mustbeprotectedin aweatherproofhousing.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-socket: XLR mounting-plug:
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Ifyou are usingthestandard controllers, youcanconnect the DMX-outputofthe controller directlywiththe DMX-
input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you
needto use adapter-cables.
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator.A termination plug is an XLR
connector with a 120 ohm resistor soldered across pins (+) and (–).
Building a master/slave-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the master fixture in the data-chain with the DMX-input of the first slave. Always
connect output with the input of the next slave until all slaves are connected (up to 9 fixtures).
Caution:It’snecessary toinsert theXLR termination plug(with120 Ohm)intothe input ofthe master fixtureand
into the output of the last slave fixture in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.

6.Control of the fixture
TheECOLOR 250 XTiscontroledby infra-red 6-buttonsremote controland 4-digit LED display ontherearside
ofthe fixture. You can simplysetthe lightingaddress,operatingmode,read thenumberof the lamporunit hours,
switch On and Off the lamp, run programs, make a reset and also use special functions for manual and service
purposes.
Two LEDs on the rear panel display the fixture status. Red LED indicates normal operation after switching the
fixture on.Green LED indicates the lamp is switched on.
The red LED on the remote control indicates if any button is pressed (the signal is transmited).
There are the 2 buttons on the remote control which have a special function:[Power]-button and [Blackout/lamp
Off]-button.
The ECOLOR 250 XT can be operated with a controller in controller mode or without the controller in stand-
alone mode.
Both modes are described in the texts below.
7.Controller mode
Thefixturesareindividuallyaddressed(001-507)onadatalinkand connectedtothecontroller.Thefixtures respond
tothe DMX signalfromthe controller.
7.1 DMX addressing
The remotecontrolallows you toassigntheDMX fixture address,whichisdefinedas the firstchannelfromwhich
theECOLOR 250 XTwillrespond to thecontroller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the ECOLOR 250 XT will use the channel 5 to 10 for control.
Please,be sure thatyoudon’t have anyoverlappingchannels in ordertocontroleach ECOLOR250XTcorrectly
and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more ECOLOR 250 XT are addressed similarly, theywill work similarly.
Foraddress setting,pleaserefer to theinstructions under "Addressing"(menu"A001").

Controlling:
After having addressed all ECOLOR 250 XT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:After switching on, the ECOLOR 250 XT will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not.If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash "A001" with actually set address.
This situation can occur if:
-the 3PIN XLRplug (cable withDMX signalfrom controller) isnot connectedwith the inputof theECOLOR 250
XT
- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the
inputconnector.
Note:It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) to the last fixture in the link in order to
ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
7.2 Remotely and manually controllable functions
Lamp
The ECOLOR 250 XT is to be operated with a MSD/HSD 250 or MSD 250/2 lamp.
Arelay insideofthe ECOLOR250XT allowsyouto switchonand offthelamp viatheremote control orviayour
DMX-controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
To switchOn/Offthe lamp,usethe[Power]-buttonor [Blackout/lamp Off]-buttononthe remote control.Youcan
use also menu "LAMP"- please refer to "Switching On/Off the lamp ".
Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to be
coldbefore re-striking. Forthisreason, you havetowait5 minutes(afterhavingswitched Offthelampbefore you
can switch it back On again. If you try to switch On the lamp within 5 minutes after having switched it Off, the
ECOLOR 250 XT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has
expired.The message "HEAt" will appear on the control board display of the ECOLOR 250 XT. If the ignition of
the lamp is seven times unsuccessful, on the display will appear "LA.Er.", meaning that the lamp could be
damaged or even missed, or there could be a failure on the ignitor or ballast.
Avoid turning on several lamps at once.
CMY-colors mixing system
The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan,magenta and yellow color filters.A continuous range
of colours may be achived by varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100%
Dimmer
Smooth 0-100% dimming is provided by the special dimmer unit.
Beam effects
Horizontal and vertical beam shapers – manually adjustable.Frost filter for softer beam and colour temperature
correctionfilter 3200K–manually adjustable.
Clock
The ECOLOR 250 XT has a battery operated 24-hour clock that can set the start and the stop stand-alone
operation.
Cooling
The ECOLOR 250 XT is cooled by one axial fan in the head.
8. Stand - alone mode
The fixtures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can execute pre-set programs which can be
different for every fixture.To set the program to be played,see the "Stand-alone setting" ( menu "St.AL.").
"Stand-aloneoperation" can beappliedto the single fixture(thefixture maybesetto themaster/slavemode )or
to multiple fixtures operating synchronously.
Synchronous operation of multiple fixtures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them
is set as a master (master mode) and the rest as the slaves (slave mode).The slaves are assigned to SLA.1-
SLA.9 and on the certain slave address can be connected only one fixture.To set the fixture as the master or
slave , see the "Addressing" (menu "A001").
If the master fixture runs a reset,switches On/Off the lamp or plays test(program) ,all slaves will execute
these acts too (e.g. if the master fixture has switched its lamp off,no slave can switch its lamp on)!
You can't play or edit any programs on the slaves by their control displays if the master is switched on
and connected to the master/slave chain.

17
The master fixture starts simultaneous program start in the other slave fixtures.All fixtures have a definite,
synchronized starting point when playing back their programs.The number of running program is the same in all
slaves and depends on the master's choice (menu "St.AL." ).Every fixture runs its program repeatedly ,starting
the program step No.1 when requested by the master .
Forexample:
If the slave fixture has a shorter program length, it will continously repeat its program until the master fixture
finishes its own program and restarts its program running (slave 1- prog.step 3 will not be finished).
If the slave fixture has a longer program length, it will restart at prog.step 1 before it completes all its prog.steps
(slave 2 - prog.step 5 will not be played)- see the picture bellow.
Stand-aloneoperationcanbesetfor one or twoperiods duringa 24hour period,usingthebuilt-inclockorforalight
level,using the built-in light sensor.If both the clock and the light sensor are active, operation starts within the set
times or if it is darker than the light-level setting.Operation stops at the stop times or if that the ambient light is
brighter than the set light level.
If the time periods overlap each other or if the time period overlaps the light level period,the fixture will respond
to the events according to their rank.
Forexample:
The played program is the same for all time(light level) periods.
From the master's control panel is possible to control any slave in a master/slave chain.
Note:Disconectthe fixtures fromtheDMXcontroller before master/slaveoperating,otherwisedata collisions can
occur and the fixtures will not work properly!
Note:It’s necessary toinsert the XLRtermination plug(with120 Ohm)intotheinput ofthemaster fixture andinto
the output of the last slave fixture in the data link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.
