4.4 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.
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 !

6. Controller mode
The fixtures are individually addressed (001-497) on a data link and connected to the controller.The fixtures
respond to the DMX signal from the controller.
Controlling:
After having addressed all SPOT 575 XT , you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note:After switching on, the SPOT 575 XT 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 SPOT 575 XT
- 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.
Iris
Motorized adjustable iris,variable pulse effects.
Focus-multistep zoom
Motorized focus enables the beam to be focused anywhere on stage at different beam angles: 15°,18°,22°,provided
by the special multistep zoom.
14
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 SPOT 575 XT is cooled by three axial fans - two 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 5 types of the fan speed operating modes.
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.

This option should be set "OFF" for all slaves in the master/slave chain by reason of the right program starts.
For example: You have selected program "PrG.3" in this menu and:
this fixture is set as a single fixture (master/slave or controller operating)- the fixture will run its program "PrG.3".
this fixture is set as a master in a data chain- the fixture will run its program "PrG.3".
this fixture is set as a slave in a data chain- the fixture will run its program according to the master(if the master
runs its own program "PrG.1", the slave will run its own program "PrG.1"also).
Note:If the fixture operates in the controller mode ( DMX controller is connected) and any program from this menu
is selected ,in this case the fixture will not respond to the DMX controller after switching On and will play selected
program.
Playing program
This function allows you to run a bilt-in program "tESt" and the 3 freely-programmable programs
"PrG.1,PrG.2,PrG.3" .Press [Up] or [Down] buttons to select the desired program and press [Enter] to run the
program which will be played continuously in a loop.
If you want to pause the runnnig program in the required position, press the [Enter]-button(messages"PAUS"/"

11. 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 vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
The dichroic colour-filters, the gobo-wheel and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.
To ensure a proper function of the gobo-wheel , we recommend lubrication in six month intervals. The quantity of
oil must not be excessive in order to avoid that oil runs out when the gobo-wheel rotates.
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.
Procedure:
1) Unscrew the fuseholder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anti-
clockwise).
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.
