4. Installation 4.1Fitting the lamp DANGER ! Install the lamps with the device switched off only. Unplug from mains before ! To insert the lamp MSD 250 or MSD 250/2 open the top cover of the head (see the drawings to identify which cover is top) by loosening the 4 Phillips screws on the front and rear sides of the top cover.Then open the small lamp cover by loosening 3 fastening screws (see the drawing).If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. Insert the lamp to the socket.
4.2 Lamp adjustment Correct Incorrect Keep optimum distance to lens Optimum distance 1 - 1,5mm Screw "A" Screw "B" The SPOT 250 XT lampholder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, fine adjustment may improve light performance. Strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface (wall).
Optional 18°-lens: Unscrew the knurled-head screw on the plate of the light-output. Install the optional 18°-lens and fix it with the knurled-head screw. 4.4 Inserting/Exchanging gobos DANGER! Install the gobos with the device switched off only. Unplug from mains before! To insert the gobos open the top cover of the head by loosening the 4 Phillips screws on the front and rear sides of the top cover.
4.5 Rigging the fixture Danger of fire ! When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min. 0,5 m. Warning ! Use 2 clamps to rig the fixture on the truss. Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base. Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.
Fixation via a mounting plate 1. Screw 2 clamps (1) to the mounting plate (4) with M12 bolts and lock nuts through the holes in the mounting plate (4). 2. Insert the 4 quick-lock fasteners (3) into the holes on the bottom of the base and tighten fully clockwise. 3. Fasten the safety-rope (2) through the two apertures on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system.
4.6 Changing the power supply settings Both the transformer and the ballast must be connected correctly for the local AC voltage and frequency. The wrong settings can cause poor performance or demage of the moving head.The factory settings are printed next to the power switch. Verify the power supply settings before applying power! If you want to change the power supply settings,follow the instructions: 1.Disconnect the fixture from AC power. 2.
4.7 Connection to the mains Connect the fixture to the mains with the enclosed power cable and plug. The earth has to be connected! The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows: Cable (EU) Cable (US) Pin International Brown Black Live L Light blue White Neutral N Yellow/Green Green Earth 4.8 DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

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 The control panel on the front panel of the fixture allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel from which the SPOT 250 XT will respond to the controller. If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the SPOT 250 XT will use the channel 5 to 20 for control.
Focus Motorized focus enables the beam to be focused anywhere on stage. Dimmer/Shutter/Strobe Smooth 0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the combined mechanical dimmer/shutter unit. This unit may also be used for strobe effect (1 - 10 flashes per second) Fans The SPOT 250 XT is cooled by three axial fans - two in the projector head and one in the base. The speed of the fans (and of course the noise) can be continuously reduced if very quiet performance is required.
8. 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, switch On and Off the lamp, 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 [Mode] button - press this one so many times until the display shows message "A001" (with actually stored address).

If message "MASt." fast flashes-DMX signal is received at the DMX-input- disconnect DMX controller! Only one fixture may be the master. Up to the 9 slaves may be connected to the master and on the certain address can be connected only one slave fixture (SLA1-SLA9).

8.6 Test sequences This function allows you to run a special demo-test sequences without an external controller, which will show you some possibilities of using SPOT 250 XT. Press [Up] and [Down] keys to select the "Mod1" or "Mod2" sequences. The "Mod1" is suitable for projections on the wall, ceiling or ground without any head-movement, the "Mod2" uses all SPOT 250 XT functions and therefore is good for a complete introduction of the fixture.
This option should be set "OFF" for all slaves in the master/slave chain by reason of the right program starts. For example: You have selected program "PrG.3" in this menu and: this fixture is set as a single fixture (master/slave or controller operating)- the fixture will run its program "PrG.3". this fixture is set as a master in a data chain- the fixture will run its program "PrG.3".
5. Press Enter]-button to confirm adjusted value . 6. Press [Mode]-button,select next prog. step and repeat this procedure (steps 4 and 6). The editting programs "PrG.1,PrG.2,PrG.3" are saved in the current modified fixture (master or slave1-9). 8.8 Reset function Press [Enter] button to run a reset. This option enables the SPOT 250 XT to index all effects (functions) and return to their standard positions. 8.
Fixture code The option contains identification code (1-9999) for the fixture, which is used for the master/slave operation. Adjusting the default positions. of colour, gobo and effect wheels By this function you can calibrate and adjust the colour, gobo and effect wheels to their standard/right positions.
