LAMP INSTALLATION
•
Loosen the knobs on the top lid and remove it.
•
Remove the lamp from the packing and carefully read the
manufacturer’s instructions.
•
LAMP MSR 1200W: Insert the lamp into the ceramic socket.
•
LAMP HMI 1200: Loosen the two ring nuts at both end of the
lamp.
Place the lamp in its socket. Make sure the protuberance of the
central bulb is facing downwards to avoid creating shadows in
the projection. Tighten the two ring nuts on the lamp.
•
Replace the top lid and firmly tight the knobs.
•
Regulate the LAMP, with screws, if necessary.
CONTROL UNIT
TRACER FOLLOWSPOT 1200 comes with a control unit mounted on the adjustable bar and connected to the
projector by means of a proper cable through 9 pin din connector. The TRACER CONTROL UNIT is powered at
low voltage 12 Volts directly by the projector and it is able to control the fixture in all its functions.
It is necessary to know that TRACER FOLLOWSPOT 1200 can be controlled by practically all types of controllers
on the market that can execute the standard DMX 512 protocol. Controller-projector and projector-projector
connections require a two-core screened cable provided with CANNON PLUGS AND SOCKETS. TRACER can
use both 3 or 5 pin CANNON plugs and sockets because it comes with 3- and 5 pin CANNON SERIAL PORTS.
The ground braid on the screened cable must be connected to just one end of the cable. The projector and cables
must not be installed near overhead ducts for electrical cables or intense magnetic fields.
PROJECTOR ADDRESS
To make sure the projector functions properly , the dip-switches in the DMX ADDRESS AREA on the rear panel
must be correctly configure. Keep in mind that each TRACER FOLLOWSPOT 1200 occupies 6 DMX channels.
Each projector must be set separately on its own BASE CHANNEL (or STARTING CHANNEL) . The BASE
CHANNEL assignment is obtained by summing the values for each switch in the DMX SECTION (for example, to
set a projector on BASE CHANNEL #39, you must set dip-switches 32,4,2 and 1 to the ON position, because
32+4+2+1= 39). In the Standard Operating Mode, this means the TRACER FOLLOWSPOT 1200 will receive
signals on 6 channels following the BASE CHANNEL, BASE CHANNEL included (for example, if the projector is
set on BASE CHANNEL #39, it will receive signals on channels #39, 40, 41, 42, 43 and 44)
