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 Every person involved with installation and maintenance of this device have to: - be qualilfied - follow the instructions of this manual CAUTION! Be careful with your operations.
2.Operating determinations This device is a moving-head for creating decorative effects and was designed for indoor use only. If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature. Never run the device without lamp! Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.

4. Installation 4.1Fitting the lamp DANGER ! Install the lamps with the device switched off only. Unplug from mains before ! To insert the lamp loosen the lamp cover at the rear of head (see the drawings ) by remowing the 3 fastening screws which are marked "X,Y,Z".Carefully pull out the cover with the lamp socket assembly.If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. Insert the lamp to the socket.
4.2 Lamp adjustment 3 adjustment screws "A,B,C" The ColorWash 250 AT lamp holder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, fine adjustment may improve light performance. Strike the lamp,open the shutter and set the dimmer intensity onto 100% and aim the light on a flat surface (wall).Center a hot-spot(the brightest part of the image) by using the 3 adjustment screws "A,B,C".
4.4 Connection to the mains Verify the power supply settings before applying power! If you wish to change the power supply settings,see the chapter below. Connect the fixture to the mains with the power cord. If the plug on the flexible cord is not the right type for your socket outlets,do not use an adaptor,but remove the plug from the cord and discard.Carefully prepare the end of the the supply cord and fit a suitable plug.
4.6 Rigging the fixture 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.
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. Pull the safety-rope through the two apertures on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system etc. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the fixation screw. Fixation via the omega holders 1.Bolt each clamp (1) to the omega holder (4) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the holder. 2.
4.7 DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output.The sockets are wired in parallel. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-pin or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

6. Controller mode The fixtures are individually addressed 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 ColorWash 250 AT will respond to the controller.
Shutter/Strobe Extremely fast shutter is also used for strobe effect (1 - 10 flashes per second) 7. 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.").

9. Control menu The control panel situated on the front panel of the base offers several features. You can simply set the DMX address,read the number of the lamp or unit hours, switch On and Off the lamp, run test, make a reset and also use many functions for setting fixture behaviour. Control elements on the control board: [MODE] button-leaves menu without saving changes. [ENTER] button- enters menu,confirms adjusted values and leaves menu.
ColorWash 250 AT has been powered on since the counter was last reset.In order to reset this counter to 0 you have to hold [UP] and[DOWN ] and press the [ENTER]. LA.St. --- Lamp strikes.Select this submenu to read the total number of the lamp strikes. totL --- The function shows the total number of the lamp strikes since the ColorWash 250 AT has been fabricated. rSEt --- The function shows the number of the lamp strikes since the counter was last reset.
9.4 Personality Use this menu to to modify ColorWash 250 AT operating behavior. r.PAn --- Pan reverse.Select this function to invert the pan movement. r.tilt --- Tilt reverse.Select this function to invert the tilt movement. DM.Pr. --- DMX preseting.Select this function to set desired effects assigning to the channels.Please refer to the chapter "DMX protocol" for detail description. LA.Pr. --- Lamp presetting.Select this menu to change the lamp "behaviour". LA.Au.
Fan.S. --- Fan speed operating modes.By using this function you can choose 2 types of the fan speed operating modes. Auto --- The fans automatically raise their speed in order to control inside temperature of the head, if the temperature inside increases about certain level (the low fan speed reduces the cooling of the lighting). This cycle can repeat several times until the temperature inside is on a suitable level. HIGH --- The cooling fans work on max. speed (max. cooling).
9.7 Test sequences Use this menu to to run a special demo-test sequences without an external controller, which will show you some possibilities of using ColorWash 250 AT. Mod.1 --- Mode 1. This mode is suitable for projections on the wall, ceiling or ground without any head movement. Mod.2 --- Mode 2.This mode uses all ColorWash 250 AT functions including pan/tilt movement and therefore is good for a complete introduction of the fixture. 9.

Note:All motors in "Power down mode" are deactivated and switching on the lamp from the control panel is blocked. 11. RDM This fixture supports an RDM operation. The RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communications protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and status monitoring. The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely affecting existing non-RDM equipment.
12. Error and information messages HEAt This message appears if you try to switch on the lamp within 5 minutes after having switched it off (the lamp is too hot). The message will appear on the display if the lamp doesn't ignite within 28 seconds. The ColorWash 250 AT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes period has expired. Caution: The message is disabled if the lamp light sensor (function "En.Sn.
t.M.Er.(Temperature measuring error) The message informs you that the communication betwen the head and the main board in the fixture base was cut off (or the head temperature sensor is defective) and the lamp was automatically switched off. 13.

Dimensions(mm) 14. Maintenance and cleaning It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues must not build up on or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture‘s light output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light output, but will also allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life.
