Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ 1. GENERAL INFORMATION INTRODUCTION: Congratulations, you have just purchased one of the most innovative and reliable lighting fixtures on the market today! The Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ has been designed to perform reliably for years when the guidelines in this booklet are followed.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ WARRANTY REGISTRATION: The Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ carries a two-year (730 days) limited warranty. Please fill out the enclosed warranty card to validate your purchase. All returned service items whether under warranty or not, must be freight pre-paid and accompany a return authorization (R.A.) number. The R.A. number must be clearly written on the outside of the return package. A brief description of the problem as well as the R.A.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these lamps use gas sealed in a high-pressure environment to emit a brilliant output. Due to the high pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, the lamp may explode during prolonged extensive use. This risk is increased with age; added care is encouraged when dealing with older lamps. Thus, lamp must always be replaced at the end of their recommended duty cycle.

Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ 6. LAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installing or replacing the lamp For a proper and safe lamp change, please read this chapter carefully and follow all instructions. Lamp Protection Circuitry Because of the nature of the extreme heat associated with the Platinum 5R lamp and the tight nature of the internal optical system it is imperative that the lamp be replaced every 2000 hours.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ • Before the Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ is put into operation be sure all covers have been replaced, otherwise you risk damage to the retina and expose to UV radiation! • When replacing an old lamp, always be sure to replace with an approved replacement. In this case a Philips MSD Platinum 5R lamp is required. Be the replacement lamp meets or exceeds the original lamp specifications, sure failure to do so may damage the fixture and void the manufactures warranty.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ 7. Be sure to reset the lamp run time in the system menu to avoid any possibly of the lamp protection circuitry from accidently shutting off the lamp during normal operation. 8. If the lamp protection circuitry has already been initiated and the lamp run time is not reset the “Replace the Lamp” warning will continue to flash in the display and the fixture will eventually shut down. To reset the lamp running time follow the procedures below; A.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ 7. MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION Cautions: For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or in areas were the fixture might be reached by unauthorized personal. Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device’s weight. Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriate safety cable.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ Mounting points Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating working load limits, a fine knowledge of the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury. CAUTION! Be sure a qualified electrician performs all electrical connections.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ Clamp Mounting The Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that integrates the bottom of the base, the included “Omega Bracket,” and the safety cable rigging point in one unit (see the illustration below). When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp to the included omega bracket using a M10 screw fitted through the center hole of the “omega bracket”.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ 8. UNDERSTANDING DMX DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. DMX allows all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller. This is possible as long as all the fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator A DMX terminator should be used in all DMX lines especially in longer runs. The use of a terminator may avoid erratic behavior in your DMX line. A terminator is a 120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor that is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This fixture is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last fixture in your daisy chain to terminate the line.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the base of the fixture. You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different address for each individual fixture.
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ 9. FIXTURE MENU On-Board System Menu: The Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ comes with aneasy to navigate, full color system menu. This next section will detail the functionsof each command in the system menu. LED Control Panel: The control panel located on the base of the fixture allows you to access the main menu and make all necessary adjustments to the Platinum Spot 5R Pro™. During normal operation, tapping the “MODE/ESC” key once will access the fixture’s main menu.

If there is an internal problem with one or more of the motors an error code will flash in the display in the form of “XXer” were as XX will represent a motor function. For example, when the display shows “Pan-ER,” it means there is some type of error with the pan motor.

Color-wheel error: The color wheel is not located in the default position after start-up or after a reset command.This message will appear after a fixture reset if the color wheel’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure (defective motor or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB).
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor isdefective (or its driver circuit on the main PCB). The focus motor is not located in the defaultposition after the reset. Cyan Color Er (Cyan Color-wheel error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its drive circuit on the main PCB).
Platinum Spot 5R Pro™ 15. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE The following points have to be considered during the inspection: 1. Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws may fall out during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall. 2. There must not be any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for UV radiation leakage.
