4.6 Changing the power supply settings-magetic ballast
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.
If you want to change the power supply settings, follow the instructions:
1. Disconnect the fixture from AC power.
2. Remove the top base cover (closest to the power cord) by loosening the 9 screws.
3. Move the wire 1 on the transformer connection block to the position according to the desired voltage.
4. Move the wires 2 and 3 on the ballast connection block to the position according to the desired frequency (voltage).
5. Close the base before applying AC power.
Examples:
Power supply settings: 230V / 50Hz
Power supply settings: 120V / 60Hz

4.7 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. This secondary
safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high
working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before
taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after
every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person
once a year.
The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating
working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the
projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural
rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and.or damage to property.
The projector has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the projector shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The projector
must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Projectors may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible
installation, do NOT install the projector!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the projector’s weight.
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.
The projector can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation
characteristics.
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. Fasten the omega holders on the bottom of the base by inserting both quick-lock fasteners (3) into the holes 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.
When installing fixtures side-by-side, avoid illuminating one fixture with another!

DANGER TO LIFE! Before taking into operation for the first time,
the installation has to be approved by an expert!
4.8 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.
DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-sockets (rear view): XLR mounting-plugs (rear view):
1 - Shield
2 - Signal (-)
3 - Signal (+)
4 - Not connected
5 - Not connected
If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with the DMX
input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use
adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always connect one
output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between
Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
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 link in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.

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 ColorSpot 575 AT will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 18, the ColorSpot 575 AT will use the channel 18 to 34 for control
(if mode 2 is selected).
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each ColorSpot 575 AT correctly and
independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more ColorSpot 575 AT are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address setting, please refer to the instructions under „Addressing” (menu „A001”).
Controlling:
After having addressed all ColorSpot 575 AT, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the ColorSpot 575 AT will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will start to flash „A001” with actually set address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN (5pin) XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the ColorSpot 575 AT
- the controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the input
connector.
Note: It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) to the last fixture in the link in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
6.2 Remotely controllable functions
Lamp
The ColorSpot 575 AT is to be operated with a Philips MSR 575/2.
A relay inside of the ColorSpot 575 AT allows you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel or via your DMX-
-controller without affecting the rest of the lighting.
To switch On/Off the lamp, please refer to „Switching On/Off the lamp“ (menu „LAMP”).
Note: It is also important to note, that the discharge lamp is cold restrike types, that means, that they have to be cold
before re-striking. For this reason, you have to wait 5 minutes (max. speed of fan must be adjusted) after having switched
Off the lamp before you can switch it back „On” again. If you try to switch „On” the lamp within 5 minutes after having
switched it „Off”, the ColorSpot 575 AT will store this information and automatically ignite the lamp when the 5 minutes
period has expired. The message „HEAt” will appear on the control panel display of the ColorSpot 575 AT. If the ignition
of the lamp is seven times unsuccessful, on the display will appear „LA.Er”, meaning that the lamp could be damaged or
even missed, or there could be a failure on the ignitor or ballast.
Colour 1-wheel
This wheel contains 9 dichroic filters and an open.
Colour 2-wheel
This wheel contains 8 replaceable „SLOT&LOCK” dichroic filters + open.The colour-wheel can be positioned between two
adjacent colours in any position. It is also possible to rotate the colour- wheel continuously at different speeds („Rainbow
effect” in both directions).
Static gobo-wheel
The static gobo wheel includes 9 replaceable „SLOT&LOCK” metal gobos + open ,gobo-shake function possible.
Rotating gobo-wheel
The rotating gobo-wheel includes 7 gobos rotating in both directions,indexable,replaceable „SLOT&LOCK” dichroic glass
gobos + open position.
3-facet rotating prism

The 3-facet replaceable prism rotating in both directions at different speeds.
Iris
Motorized iris for different beam diameter, variable pulse effects.
Frost
Separate, variable frost.
17
Focus, Zoom
Motorized focus enables the beam to be focused anywhere on stage at different beam angles 15°, 18°, 22°, provided by
the special zoom.
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 ColorSpot 575 AT is cooled by 4 axial fans - 3 in the projector head and one in the base. The speed of the fan (and
of course the noise) can be continuously reduced if very quiet performance is required.
By the Control Board using the „FAnS” function you can choose the 2 types of the fan speed operating modes.
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.”).
„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.To set the fixture as the master or slave, see the „Addressing”
(menu „A001”).
If the master fixture runs a reset, switches On/Off the lamp or plays test (program), all slaves will execute these
acts too (e.g. if the master fixture has switched the lamp off, no slaves can switch the lamp on)!
The master fixture starts simultaneous program start in the other slave fixtures.All fixtures have a definite, synchronized
starting point when playing back their programs. The number of running program is the same in all slaves and depends
on the master’s choice (menu „St.AL.” ). Every fixture runs its program repeatedly, starting the program step No.1 when
requested by the master.
For example:
If the slave fixture has a shorter program length, it will continously repeat its program until the master fixture finishes its
own program and restarts its program running (slave 1- prog.step 3 will not be finished).
If the slave fixture has a longer program length, it will restart at prog. step 1 before it completes all its prog. steps
(slave 2 - prog. step 5 will not be played) - see the picture bellow.
Note: Disconect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating, otherwise data collisions can occur
and the fixtures will not work properly!

After having calibrated required effects, press [ENTER] to confirm (or [MODE] to cancel and return to the menu without
reset by the „A.rES.” function) and use the „A.rES.” function in order to write the calibration values to the memory (EE-
PROM) and to make a reset in order to check the new adjusted positions of the colour, gobo and effect wheels .
10. Power down mode

This mode omits fixture reset after switching the fixture on and lowers motor powers of the fixture. „Power down mode” is
useful in special cases e.g. if the fixture is in a flight case and you want to set its DMX address without taking it out from
the case. To enter „Power down mode”, press and hold [UP] and [DOWN] and at the same time switch on the Power
switch. The following message appears on the display: „P.d.Mo.”

Now you can set features and behaviour of the fixture by using „A001” menu and „Pers.” menu. If you want to go „normal
operation mode”, execute a fixture reset.
Note: All motors (except pan and tilt motors) in „Power down mode” are deactivated and switching the lamp on from the
control panel is blocked.
11. RDM
This fixture is ready for RDM operation.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.
25
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely affecting existing
non-RDM equipment. By using a special „Start Code,“ and by complying with the timing specifications for DMX512, the
RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive messages from specific
moving lights.
RDM allows explicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.

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.
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended, under no circumstances should alcohol
or solvents be used!
DANGER !
Disconnect from the mains before starting any maintenance work
The front objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing the light-output
very quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly.
The gobos may be cleaned with a soft brush. The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacu-
um-cleaner or an air-jet.
The dichroic colour-filters, the gobo-wheel and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.
There are no serviceable parts inside the device except for the lamp and the fuse.
Please refer to the instructions under “Fitting/Exchanging the lamp”.
Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
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 ame type and rating.
Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.
Procedure:
1) Unscrew the fuseholder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anticlockwise).
2) Remove the old fuse from the fuseholder.
3) Install the new fuse in the fuseholder.
4) Replace the fuseholder in the housing and fix it.
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
