Installation
Installing the Lamp
The Showtec Genesis Barrel uses the EHJ 250 (ordercode 80503) bulb as manufactured by all popular
manufacturers. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.
Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product
specification label for information.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the
device was not designed for.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
Procedure :
1. Loosen the 4 screws on the back of the housing.
2. Gently remove the metal housing.
3. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass. (See Figure 3.)
Oil on hands shortens the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off the glass with a clean, lint-free
towel and rubbing alcohol.).
4. Insert the lamp pins into the lamp socket. You can adjust the distance between the lamp and the lens
(screws A, B, C) on the back.
5. Put the metal housing back and fasten the screws snugly.

Lamp Adjustment
You can adjust the lamp’s position by turning the screws C (closer/further to the reflector) and B (left/right
to center the lamp to the gobo-wheel).
The lamp position is set in the factory. As the lamps, which can be used, differ from manufacturer to
manufacturer, it can be necessary to readjust the position. The lamp must be readjusted e.g., if the light
does not seem to be evenly distributed within the ray of light.
Ignite the lamp and focus the ray of light on an even surface (wall). As the optimal distance between the
lamp and the lens was already set during the installation with screw "C", only the "Hot Spot" ( the brightest
part of the ray of light) must be centered. Turn in addition screw "A". If the Hot Spot appears too bright,
you can weaken its intensity, by moving the lamp closer to the reflector. Turn in addition screw "A", until
the light is evenly distributed. If the light at the outside edge of the ray of light appears brighter as in the
center, the lamp is too close to the reflector. In this case move the lamp away from the reflector, until the
light is evenly distributed and the ray of light appears bright enough.

8
Set Up and Operation
Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your preferred operation mode.
Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification
voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.

1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-clamp fastened onto the
Genesis Barrel). Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.
2. Plug one end of the electric mains power cord into the IEC socket on the unit.
Then plug the other end of the cord into a proper electric power supply socket.
3. Turn on the music. If P4 (Audio) is set, then the fixture will react to the beat of the music.
Multiple Genesis Barrel
1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-clamp fastened onto the
Genesis Barrel). Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.
2. Use a 3-p XLR cable to connect the Genesis Barrel’s and other devices.
The pins:
1. Earth
2. Signal -
3. Signal +
3. Link the units as shown in (figure 5), Connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to
the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units.
4. Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's IEC socket, then plug the other
end of the mains power cord into proper electric power supply sockets, starting with the first unit.
Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly.

C. [ENTER] Button F. Down Button
Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
first channel from which the Genesis Barrel will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 7channels.
When using multiple Genesis Barrel’s, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Genesis Barrel should be 1(A001); the DMX address of the second
Genesis Barrel should be 1+7=8 (A008); the DMX address of the third Genesis Barrel should be 8+7=15
(A015), etc.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Genesis Barrel
correctly. If two or more Genesis Barrel’s are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’ (menu )
Controlling:
After having addressed all Genesis Barrel fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Genesis Barrel will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received
or not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED “ on the control panel will not flash.
The problem may be:
- The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Genesis Barrel.
- The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.

12
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, stand-alone operation can be applied to a single fixture (the fixture
may be set to the master/slave mode or controller mode) or to multiple fixture operating synchronously.
For synchronous operation of multiple fixtures the fixtures must all be connected on a data-link and one
of them is the master and the rest slaves. The DMX address of all the slaves are assigned to and on
that particular slave address only one fixture can be connected. To the fixture as the master or slave,
see “Addressing” (menu ).
If the master fixture resets or runs a test (program), all slaves will execute these acts too.
You can’t play or edit any program on a slave, if the master is switched on and connected to the
master/slave chain.
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.

Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1. All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must
not be corroded.
2. There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
3. Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Showtec Genesis Barrel requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and
then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and
a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light-
output very quickly.
The cooling-fans, dichroic colour-filters, the gobo-wheel, the gobos and the internal lenses should be
cleaned monthly with a soft brush.
Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections
with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying
electric power.
Changing the Lamp
1. Disconnect mains power supply, and allow 15 minutes to cool down. Loosen the 4 screws on the back
of the housing.
2. Gently remove the metal housing.
3. Follow directions for installing a new lamp, page 6.
Replacing a Fuse
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the
fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below to do
so.
1. Unplug the unit from electric power source.
2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover. The fuse will
come out.
3. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
4. Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to
use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.

16
Troubleshooting
No Light
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems. If a problem occurs, carry out the steps
below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following
steps.
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Response: Suspect three potential problem areas: the power supply, the lamp, the fuse.
1. Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
2. The lamp. Replace the old lamp with a new one with the same specifications. See page 6 for
replacing lamps.
3. The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 15 for replacing the fuse.
No Response to DMX
Response: Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card
malfunction.
1. Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power.
Try your DMX control again.
2. Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with
other DMX products ? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light
effect to a qualified technician.
See next page for more problem solving.
