4.5 Rigging the fixture
Dangerof fire !
Wheninstalling thedevice,makesurethere isno highlyinflammable
material(decoration articles,etc.) inbetween adistance of min.0,5 m.
Warning ! Use 2clamps torig the fixtureon the truss.
Followthe instructionsmentioned atthe bottomof thebase.
Makesure thatthe deviceisfixed properly!Ensure that
thestructure (truss)towhich youare attachingthe fixturesissecure.
The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1
hourwithout anyharming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g.an appropriate catch net.This
secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the
main attachment fails.
Whenrigging, derigging orservicing the fixture stayingin the areabelow the installation place,on bridges, under
highworking placesand other endangeredareas isforbidden.
Themoving-head can be placed directlyon the stage floor orrigged in any orientation on a truss without altering
itsoperation characteristics (see thedrawing).
You can fix theWASH 250 XT on a truss via 2 Omega holders or using the mounting plate(it is not the standard
part of delivery) or screw the clamps directly to 2 holes (5) in the base.
For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.You must
only use safety-ropes with screw-on carabines.Pull the safety-rope through the two apertures on the bottom of
the base and over the trussing system etc.Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the fixation screw.
Fixation via Omega holders
1.Bolt each clamp (1) to the omega holder (4) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the holder.
2.Fasten the omegaholders on thebottom of the baseby inserting both quick-lockfasteners(3)into the holesof

4.6 DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures
Thewiresmustnot comeinto contactwith eachother,otherwise
thefixtures will notworkat all,or willnotworkproperly.
Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the
fixture or one fixture with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-socket: XLR mounting-plug:
If you areusing the standardDMX-controllers, you canconnect the DMX-outputof the controllerdirectly with the
DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs,
youneed to useadapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect one 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. Solder a 120 Wresistor
between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

6. Controller mode
The fixtures are individually addressed (001-497) on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures
respond to the DMX signal from the controller.
6.1 DMX addressing
Thecontrol panel on thefront panel of the fixture allows you to assign theDMX fixture address, whichis defined
as the first channel from which theWASH 250 XT will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the WASH 250 XT will use the channel 5 to 20 for control.
Please,besure thatyoudon’t have anyoverlapping channelsin orderto controleachWASH250 XTcorrectly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more WASH 250 XT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Foraddress setting, please referto the instructions under"Addressing"(menu "A001").
Controlling:
After having addressed allWASH 250 XT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:After switching on, theWASH 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 3 PIN XLRplug (cablewith DMX signalfrom controller) is notconnected with the inputof theWASH 250XT
- 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.
6.2 Remotely controllable functions
Lamp
TheWASH 250 XT is to be operated with a MSD/HSD 250 or MSD 250/2 GY-9,5 lamp.
Arelayinsideof theWASH250XT allowsyoutoswitchon and off thelamp viathe control panel orvia yourDMX-
controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
To switch On/Off the lamp, please refer to "Switching On/Off the lamp " (menu "LAMP").
Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to be
cold before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait 5 minutes (max. speed of fan must be adjusted) after
having switched Off the lamp before you can switch it back On again. If you try to switch On the lamp within 5
minutes after having switched it Off, the WASH 250 XT will store this information and automatically ignite the
lampwhen the 5 minutesperiodhas expired.Themessage"HEAt" will appearon thecontrol panel displayof the
WASH 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.
Colour wheel
TheWASH 250 XTfeaturesa colour-wheelwith 7 colorpositions - 6of these with dichroic colors and thelast one
open.It isalso possible torotate the color-wheelcontinuously at differentspeeds - theso-called "Rainboweffect“
is created.
CMY - colours mixing system
TheCMY colormixing system isbased on graduatedcyan, magenta, andyellow colorfilters. A continuousrange
of colors may be achieved by varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100%.
Beam effects
Thebeam shaper allow youto widen and flatten beam.Beam shaper rotates 180°.
Frost filter on the same wheel as beam shaper softens the beam.
Dimmer
Smooth 0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the special dimmer unit.
Shutter/Strobe
Extremely fast shutter may also be used for strobe effect (1 - 10 flashes per second)

15
Fans
TheWASH 250 XT is cooled by free axial fans - two in the projector head and one in the base.The speed of the
fan (and of course the noise) can be continuously reduced if very quiet performance is required.
By the Control Board using the "FAnS” function you can choose 5 types of fan speed operating modes.
7. 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-alone operation" can be applied to the single fixture (the fixture may be set to the master /slave mode or
controller mode ) 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 SLA1-
SLA9 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 the lamp off,no slaves can switch the lamp on)!
You can't play or edit any programs on the slaves by their control panels if the master is switched on and
connected to the master/slave chain.
The master fixture starts simultaneous program start in the other slave fixtures.All fixtures have a definite,
synchronizedstarting pointwhen playingbacktheir programs.Thenumberof runningprogram isthe 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.
Note:Disconectthe fixtures fromthe DMXcontroller beforemaster/slave operating ,otherwisedata collisionscan
occur and the fixtures will not work properly!
It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) into the input of the master fixture and into the
output of the last slave fixture in the data link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.
From the master's control panel is possible to control any slave in a master/slave chain.
