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.
CAUTION!
Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that
the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

Controller operation
Master/slave operation
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise
the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
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.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:

DMX - output DMX-input
XLR mounting-socket: XLR mounting-plug:
1 - Ground 1 - Ground
2 - Signal (-) 2 - Signal (-)
3 - Signal (+) 3 - Signal (+)
Building a serial DMX-chain:

If you are using the standard 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.
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always
connect 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.

The COLORMIX 240 AT can be operated with a controller in controller mode or without the controller in stand-
alone mode.
Both modes are described in the texts below.
6.Controller mode
The fixtures are individually addressed (001-502) 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 side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as
the first channel from which the COLORMIX 240 AT will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the COLORMIX 240 AT will use the channel 5 to 15 for control.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each COLORMIX 240 AT
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.
If two, three or more COLORMIX 240 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 COLORMIX 240 AT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:After switching on, the COLORMIX 240 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 XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the COLORMIX
240 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 COLORMIX 240 AT is to be operated with a MSD 250W/2 GY-9,5 lamp.
A relay inside of the COLORMIX 240 AT allows you to switch on and off the lamp via the control panel on the top
side of the projector or via your 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 COLORMIX 240 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 COLORMIX 240 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.
CMY-colours mixing system

The CMY color mixing system is based on graduated cyan, magenta, and yellow color filters. A continuous range
of colors may be achieved by varying the amount of each filter from 0 to 100%.
Dimmer
Smooth 0 - 100 % dimming is provided by the special dimmer unit.
Shutter/Strobe
Extremely fast shutter may also be used for strobe effect (1 - 10 flashes per second).
Fans
The COLORMIX 240 AT is cooled by the two axial fans . The speed of the fans (and of course the noise) can be
14
continuously reduced if very quiet performance is required.
By the control board using the „FAnS” function you can choose 5 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 or plays test(program) ,all slaves will execute these acts too.
You can't play or edit any programs on the slaves by their control panels if the master is switched on and
connected to the master/slave chain.
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. Restart
Starting point
Note:Disconect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating ,otherwise data collisions can
occur and the fixtures will not work properly!
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.
From the master's control panel is possible to control any slave in a master/slave chain.

address can be connected only one slave fixture (SLA1-SLA9).
16
Note:Disconect the fixtures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating ,otherwise data collisions can
occur and the fixtures will not work properly!
If the fixture is set as the master and DMX signal is connected to its input,the error massage "MAEr" will appear
on its display and the fixture's address will be set to its DMX address in order to respond to DMX signal from the
controller.
For example:
The master fixture has this address setting:"dM.Ad."-menu.........A012
"MA.SL."-menu........MASt (is displayed)
The DMX signal is connected to the master fixture.The message "MAst" starts fast flashing and after 20s error
massage "MA.Er" appears on its display and the fixture automatically will be switched to its DMX address
(master address is disabled).
Now the fixture has the address setting: "dM.Ad."-menu.........A012 ("A012"/" MA.Er"blinks )
"MA.SL."-menu.........d.AbL.
If the fixture is set as the slave and DMX signal is connected to its input,the fixture will respond to DMX signal

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 fixture 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.") is switched Off (only if the lamp
was turned Off and On within 5 minutes,the message "HEAt" will appear).
LAEr
The ignition of the lamp is seven times unsuccessful (the HEAt message appeared six times before), and the
display shows "LA.Er", meaning that the lamp could be damaged or even missed, the fixture is overheating (this
can occur if the ambient temperature is 40° C or more) or there could be a failure on the ignitor or ballast.
Please place or replace the lamp, check the ambient temperature or contact your dealer if the situation was not
caused by the lamp.
Caution: The message is disabled if the lamp light sensor (function "En.Sn.") is switched Off.
FAn
The message informs you that the fixture was overheating and switched off. This message will appear on the
display if the fan speed operating "LO.OF." was selected.
MbEr
This messsage informs you that the main PCB does not communicate correctly with the Control Panel.
FtEr
The message informs you that the fixture was overheating (occured if the ambient temperature is 40° C or more)
and that the relay switched off the lamp. This message will appear on the display until the temperature will be on
a suitable level, then the display will show the "HEAt" message meaning the lamp is too hot.
SnEr
This message appears if the lamp lighting sensor is failed. Please, contact your dealer.
Caution: The message is disabled if the lamp light sensor (function "En.Sn.") is switched Off.
PoEr
This message will appear if the fixture was shortly disconnect from the main.

The message informs you that the fixture was addressed as a master and DMX signal is connected to its
input.Disconnect the DMX controller from fixture's input and address the fixture as the master again.
FrEr
This message will appear if the frequency of the main is not standard 50 or 60 Hz.This message can appear as
a result of the interference during the lamp starting (if the lamp or igniter is old) or as a result of the interference
by neighbouring devices. In these cases the message does not affect the fixture operating!
10. RDM
This fixture allows 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.
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.

12. Maintenance and cleaning

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by an expert
after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by a skilled
person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

1) All screws used for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tighly connected and must not
be corroded.
2) There must not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, suspension,
trussing).
3) Mechanically moved parts like axles, eyes and others must not show any traces of wearing (e.g. material
abrading or damages) and must not rotate with unbalances.
4) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or
sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a
skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.
29
DANGER TO LIFE !
Disconnect from the mains before starting
maintenance operation!
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.
Please use a moist, lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents!
The front fresnel 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 interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
The dichroic colour-filters and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.
There are no serviceable parts inside the device except for the lamp and the fuse. Maintenance and service
operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
Please refer to the instructions under "Fitting/Exchanging the lamp".
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 same
type and rating.
Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.

Procedure:
Step 1: Unscrew the fuseholder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anti-clockwise).
Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuseholder.
Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuseholder.
Step 4: Replace the fuseholder in the housing and fix it.
Should you need any spare parts, please use genuine parts.
If the power supply cable of this device will be damaged (cable firmly connected with the device), it has to be
replaced by authorized dealers only in order to avoid hazards.
If the power supply cable of this device will be damaged (replaceable cable), it has to be replaced by a special
power supply cable available at your dealer.
Should you have further questions, please contact your dealer.
