INTRODUCTION
Thank you for using our flood projector CityColor.
The CityColor projects, thanks to an extremely efficient optic system (patent n. WO99/40361), a powerful light beam which can create
numberless color shades. Its performances, in terms of luminousity and lighted surfaces, can reach incredible levels.
The CityColor IP54 comes in the following versions:

The CityColor can work in automatic mode or in synchro mode, otherwise may be controlled by 8 bit DMX controllers
The input protocol is the DMX 512. To drive the CityColor we suggest to use either our controller DMX Control Spot, the
Control Show 512 the Easy Control or the Fancy.
To make the most of its possibilites and for a correct functioning of this unit in the years to come, we suggest you to read carefully
this manual before connecting or putting the spot into use. By doing so you will gain experience with its commands and connections
and you will be easily able to use it.
Check that the spot has not been damaged during transport. If it has been damaged or it does not work, address
the seller. Whether the spot has been shipped to you directly, please contact the shipping company.
Only the consignee (person or company) can claim for these damages.

The CityColor has a IP rate 44 without filters installed and an IP RATE 54 with filters installed.
You must use the filters in critical working conditions and, normally, when the fixture works outdoor.
You must remove the filters when the ambient temperature is over 35°C.
You must regularly clean the filters to allow the correct cooling of the fixture.
You must remove the two side protective shells. The
two filters must be assembled on the bulkheads at the
bottom of the side brackets.
Pay attention to the installation: dust proof filters
must stick correctly to prevent the entrance of the
dust. You must control that the two filters comple-

on the control panel of the fixture. (pict.5)
The pin nomenclature of the connectors for the connection to the DMX signal is listed in the table. (pict.5a)
In order to avoid any problem in the signal transmission, it is warmly suggested to use a cable for high speed data transmission
(sect. > 2x0.25 + gnd).
If the lines have a total length over 150-200 mts it is suggested to use a signal amplifier (art. 3004 - DMX repeter amplifier).
The usage of a normal microphonic or audio cable is suggested only for lines max 100 mts long.
To ensure the IP54 rate you must connect the DMX cable inside the base. Use the given cables fixing (pict. 5b) and connect by
following the cables numbering (pict. 5c).

We supply a terminal with a 100 Ohm resistor.
It is recommanded that all DMX 512 systems have the termination resistor at the and of the line.
