2.Safety 2.1.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. In order to maintain this condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this manual. Important: Damages caused by the disregard of this user manual are not subject to warranty.
fixture at the transport handles. When choosing the installation-spot, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust. There should not be any cables lying around. You endanger your own and the safety of others! The minimum distance between light-output and the illuminated surface must be more than 1,3 meter. Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture.
Fastening screws Fastening screws Top cover Lamp cover Lamp To insert the lamp MSD 250W/2 open the top cover of the projector-head (see the drawing to identify which cover is top) by loosening the 3 screws on the cover. Then open the small lamp cover by loosening 2 fastening screws (see the drawing). If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. Insert the lamp to the socket. Do not install a lamp with a higher wattage! A lamp like this generates temperatures the device is not designed for.
The lampholder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, fine adjustment may improve light performance. Strike the lamp, cancel all effects, open the shutter and dimmer , focus the light on a flat surface (wall) or use function "LAAd" in the Special functions .
3.3.Rigging DANGER TO LIFE! Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! The installation 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 fixture can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics (see the drawing). There are two possibility how to fix the IMAGE SPOT 250 AT on a truss: with the clamp brackets or mounting plate (see the drawings below).Use the rigging clamps 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 a mounting plate (mounting plate is not standard part of the fixture) The fixture's base enables to be mounted in two ways using the special mounting plate : 1. Screw the 2 clamps to the included mounting plate with M12 bolts and nuts through the holes in the mounting plate. 2. Insert the 4 quick-lock fasteners into the holes on the bottom of the base and tighten fully clockwise. 3. Fasten the safety-rope through the two apertures on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system.
3.4.Connection to the mains Connect the fixture to the mains with the enclosed power-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 3.5.Changing the power supply settings Both the transformer and the ballast must be connected correctly for the local AC voltage and frequency.
US-version power supply settings: 120V/60Hz 3.6.DMX- 512 connection, master/slave connection Controller operation Master/slave operation 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.
Building a master/slave-chain: Connect the DMX-output of the master fixture in the data-chain with the DMX-input of the first slave. Always connect output with the input of the next slave until all slaves are connected (up to 9 fixtures). Caution: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.

5.Control The IMAGE SPOT 250 AT is controled by the 4-buttons control panel on the front side of the base or by the 6buttons infra-red remote controller. Control panel: Two LEDs on the control panel display the fixture status. Red LED indicates normal operation after switching the fixture on.Green LED indicates the lamp is switched on. Green LED Red LED Remote control: The red LED on the remote control indicates if any button is pressed (the signal is transmited).
6.1.DMX addressing The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel from which the IMAGE SPOT 250 AT will respond to the controller. If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the IMAGE SPOT 250 AT will use the channel from 5 to 14 for control. Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each IMAGE SPOT 250 AT correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
"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. Synchronous operation of multiple fixtures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them is set as a master (master mode) and the rest as the slaves (slave mode).The slaves are assigned to SLA1-SLA9 and on the certain slave address can be connected only one fixture.
The played program is the same for all time(light level) periods. From the master's control panel is possible to control any slave in a master/slave chain.
