CAUTION! Keep this device away from rain and moisture! Unplug mains lead before opening the housing! FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU INITIAL START - UP! 1. Safety instructions Caution ! Be careful with your operations.With a dangerous voltage you can suffer a dangerous electric shock when touching the wires This device has left our premises in absolutely perfect condition.
2.Operating determinations This device is a moving-head spot for creating decorative effects and was designed for indoor use only. This device is designed for professional use, e.g. on stages, in discotheques, theatres etc. Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation. Consistent operation breaks will ensure that the device will serve you for a long time without defects. Never run the device without lamp! Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.

4.Installation 4.1Fitting/Exchanging the lamp DANGER ! Install the lamp with the device switched off only. Unplug from mains before ! Lamp cover: screws "X,Y,Z W" To insert the lamp CDM-SA/T 150/942 open the small lamp cover at the rear of the head (see the drawing) by loosening the 4 screws „W, X,Y, Z,” on the lamp cover. Gently pull out the lamp assembly. If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. Insert the lamp to the socket.
To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws „A, B, C” clockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is evenly distributed. If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low, the lamp is too far back in the reflector. „Push” the lamp out by turning the screws „A, B, C” counterclockwise 1/4-turn at a time the light is bright and evenly distributed. 4.
4.4 Rigging DANGER TO LIFE! Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! Theinstallation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer! The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation. The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
The moving-head can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics . There are two possibility how to fix the CYCLOPS 150 on a truss via the Omega holders -see the drawing below.Use the rigging clamps (not included) with screws M12. 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.
Fixation via the Omega holders 1. Screw each clamp (1) to the included Omega holders (4) with M12 bolt and nut through the hole in the holder. 2. Insert both quick-lock fasteners (3) into the holes of the base and tighten fully clockwise.Install the second clamp. 3. Fasten the safety-rope (2) through the two apertures on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system. 1-Clamp 2-Safety-rope 3-Quick-lock fastener 4-Omega holder 4.
4.6 DMX- 512 connection, master/slave connection Controller operation Master/slave operation The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly. 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.

The CYCLOPS 150 can be operated with a controller in controller mode or without the controller in standalone mode. Both modes are described in the texts below. 7.Controller mode The fixtures are individually addressed (001-504) on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. 7.
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-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.
9. Functions of the control panel The control panel situated on the front side of the base offers several features. You can simply set the DMX address,master/slave mode, read the number of lamp or unit hours, run test, make a reset and also use many functions for setting and service purposes. The main menu of the control panel is accessed by pressing the [ ] button - press this one so many times until the display shows message "A001" (with actually stored address).
Note:Disconect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating ,otherwise data collisions can occur and the fixtures will not work properly! If the fixture is set as the master and DMX signal is connected to its input,the error massage "MAEr" will appear on its display and the fixture's address will be set to its DMX address in order to respond to DMX signal from the controller. For example: The master fixture has this address setting:"dM.Ad."-menu.........A010 "MA.SL."-menu........

9.6 Stand-alone setting This menu offers options for stand-alone mode as a selection of the playing program,programming and modifying current programs. - Music trigger The CYCLOPS 150 enables the sound control of the running programs via the built-in microphone.Use the [ ] or [ ] buttons to select "On" if you wish this feature or "Off" if you don’t wish this feature and press [ confirm or [ ] to cancel and return to the menu.
- Editing program This menu item allows you to select a program to edit or create.The CYCLOPS 150 has one built-in program ("tESt") and the 3 free programs,each up to 99 steps.Each program step has a dynamic part(fade time) and static part(step time). Fade time-the time,during which effects move to the programmed position. Step time-the time,during which effects last in the current step. If the fixture is set as a master ,then you may edit any program in the slaves.
- Manual control of effects The function allows you to control manually the channel functions of the fixture. Use the [ ] or [ ] buttons to select desired function and press [ ] to adjust the effect or [ ] to cancel and return to the menu. - Lamp adjustment This function can be used when you make the fine adjustment of the lamp.If you select "LAAd" pressing by [ ]-button ,all effects will be canceled,shutter will be opened and the dimmer intensity will be set onto 100%.
1. Calibration via the control panel Press [ ] and the [ ] or [ ] buttons in order to display the following messages: "Colo, rGob," for very smooth function calibration. Select one of them, press [ ] and use the [ ] and [ ] buttons in order to adjust their right value from 0 to 255. Then press [ ] to confirm or [ ] to cancel and return to the menu. This can be repeated for each calibration parameter if it is required. When the calibration is finished, it is necessary to use the "A.rES.

12. Maintenance and cleaning The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are 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 inspected by a skilled person once a year.
operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers. Please refer to the instructions under "Fitting/Exchanging the lamp". Replacing the fuse If the lamp burns out, the fine-wire fuse of the device might fuse, too. Only replace the fuse by a fuse of same type and rating. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead. Procedure: Step 1: Unscrew the fuseholder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anticlockwise). Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuseholder.
