INSTRUCTION MANUAL
IMPORTANT: Read carefully. It is essential for the correct and safe use of the equipment that erectors and operators should be fully conversant with the information and instructions given in this manual.
INSTALLING THE PROJECTOR
- Unpacking
Open the wooden box, remove the projector from the packing and place it on a flat horizontal surface. Unpack the standard accessories supplied with the equipment. Inspect the lamp change label (1) on the projector cover and replace it with one of the optional language versions if necessary.
Make certain that the label is never removed, as it displays important safety information.
- Initial assembly operations
- Position the bracket
- on the graduated plate
- at the desired height, select the required hole and insert the bushing The bracket can also be mounted on the top of the projector for truss mounting by inverting the position of the graduated plate (3).
- the chamfered washer
- and the screw
- and tighten the assembly using the supplied Allen wrench.
- Position the support as desired and then secure it by tightening the knobs (7).
- Fitting the lamp
Refer to directions for replacement of the lamp given under heading 8 MAINTE- NANCE.
- Installing the projector
The projector can be mounted in any position without its operating
characteristics being affected.
IMPORTANT : for ceiling installation secure the projector in the desired
position by means of the holes in the support. Secure preferably using two ø12
mm bolts with nuts and lock washers.
Make certain that the anchorage is stable before positioning the projector.
- Minimum distance from target objects
The projector must be positioned in such a way that objects struck by the beam are separated from the fixture by at least the distance specified on the lamp change sticker next to the symbol shown in the figure on the right.
Minimum distance of inflammable materials from any part of the fixture: 0.10 m (4”) for QS and HMI 1200 Basic versions, 0.07 m (3”) for HMI 575 Basic version.
The fixture may be mounted on surfaces rated normally inflammable.
IMPORTANT: For better and more reliable operation of the projector, the ambient temperature must not exceed 35° C (95° F). Protection factor IP 20: the fixture is pro-tected against penetration of solid bodies more than 12 mm (0.5”) in diameter (first digit 2), but can be damaged by spray, jet, drip or rain water (second digit 0).
POWER SUPPLY AND INTERFACE
- Connecting to the electrical power supply
The operations described in this heading must be carried out by a licensed electrician.
It is good policy to connect projectors to the power supply by way of dedicated switches, so that each can be turned on and off individually from a remote station.
The projector is designed to operate at the voltage and frequency indicated on
the electrical data plate (8) affixed to the rear end.
Check that these two values correspond to the mains voltage and frequency.
IMPORTANT : the projector must be connected to a power supply circuit having a proper earth system (Class I appliance).
- Connecting the control signals
SHADOW BASIC follow spots can be controlled only from the integrated control panel, while SHADOW QS models can also be controlled from a remote external controller.
0-10V CONNECTION
When both the external 0-10V controller and the integrated control panel are con-nected, the higher level signal assumes priority.
The connection between projector and controller must be made using a multicore cable with 8 wires of 0.25mm2 section and a DIN 8 pin 45° plug/socket connector.
RS 232/423(PMX) – DMX 512 CONNECTION
- Several Shadow follow spots can be controlled simultaneously from the integrated control panel on one fixture.
- When connected to an external controller, several projectors can be controlled either simultaneously or independently.
To enable independent operation of several Shadow projectors each must be assigned a unique address code. This procedure calls for the presence of an autho-rized technician.
Projectors are wired up to the controller and one to the next using two-core screened cable and Cannon 5 pin XLR type plug/socket connectors.
To connect a DMX line, a terminating plug (9) with a 100 Ω resistor wired between pins 2 and 3 must be fitted to the last projector connected in series; the plug is not required when using an RS232/423(PMX) signal.
The wires must not come into contact with each other or with the metal casing of the plug.
The casing of the plug/socket must be connected to the screen and to pin 1 of the connectors.
Having completed the operations described above, press the on/off switch (10). Check that the lamp comes on and that the auto-reset sequence starts.
CHANNELS FUNCTION (SHADOW QS)
CHANNEL|
FUNCTION
---|---
1| IRIS
2| COLOUR WHEEL
3| DIMMER/STOPPER/ STROBE
4| COLOUR TEMPERATURE CONVERSION
- IRIS – channel 1
The response of the iris to the movement of the potentiometer is linear and continuous through the full 0… 100%range, so that the slider can be stopped in any position to obtain the desired aperture diameter.
- COLOUR WHEEL – channel 2
The change of color in response to movement of the potentiometer is lin-ear and continuous, so that the slider can be stopped in intermediate positions to obtain a two cooler beam.
- DIMMER/STOPPER/STROBE – channel 3
In the 0% to 50% range of adjustment the dimmer opens gradually to maxi-mum aperture. Strobe effect is produced from 54.7% to 95% with frequency increasing from 1 to 7 flash-es/second. The aperture remains fixed from 95% to 100% of the slider range.
- COLOUR TEMPERATURE CONVERSION – channel 4
The warm filter is inserted from 0% to 33.2% of slider movement, no filter is present from 33.7% to 67.0%, and the cool filter is inserted from 67.5% to 100% of slider movement.
FOCUSING
- Focusing – QS-ST version
Set up the channels as shown in the table. Unscrew knob (11) and move the lens (12) forwards and back until the projected image is perfectly sharp. Secure the lens by tightening knob (11).
CHANNEL| FUNCTION|

4| COLOUR TEMPERATURE CONVERSION| 0% (White)
- Focusing – QS-LT version
Turn knob (13) on the rear of the projector until the projected image is perfectly sharp; this procedure can be checked by means of the pointer (14) which provides an indication of the focus-
ing distance as shown on label (15).

MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT : isolate the projector from the electrical power supply before com-mencing maintenance work of any description.
The maximum temperature on the outer surface of the projector under normal operating conditions is 90°C (194° F) for QS and Basic HMI 1200 versions, and 80°C (176° F) for the Basic HMI 575 version.
After switching off, do not remove any part of the projector for at least 10 minutes, as indicated on the lamp change label (1).
Once this time has elapsed, the risk of a lamp exploding is practically zero. If the lamp needs changing, wait a further 20 minutes to avoid the risk of burns. In the event of a lamp exploding, the projector is designed to prevent fragments of glass from being scattered. The lenses supplied with the projector must be fitted at all times, and if vis-ibly damaged must be replaced promptly with genuine spares.
- Opening the projector
Loosen knob (16) to remove the lamp access cover (17) or loosen knob (18) to remove the front cover (19). Once the necessary work has been completed, refit the cover and tighten with the relative knob.
- Changing the lamp
Open the projector, loosen the two side nuts (20) of the lamp to be changed
and remove it from the sup-ports (21). Remove the new lamp from its box,
loosen the two side nuts (20) and locate the lamp in the supports (21).
Finally, retighten the nuts.
IMPORTANT: for uniform distribution of the light beam, the lamp must be
posi-tioned so that the glass pip (22) on the bulb does not coincide with the
optical axis of the projector. With this in mind, locate the pip as high up as
possible.
CAUTION: The projector uses a high pressure lamp with external starter.
-
When fitting a new lamp, read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
-
The lamp must always be changed without delay if damaged or deformed by heat.
-
Changing the colour filters
Having opened the projector, identify the filter to be changed, grip firmly between thumb and forefinger and push against the spring clip (23) until free of the fixed clips (24). Bend the filter outwards and remove.
Offer the new filter to the spring clip (23) and anchor behind the two fixed clips (24).
- Installing wide angle lenses
Remove the projector front cover. Unscrew knobs (25), rotate the front lens
plate (26) from the parking position to the operating position in alignment
with the projector axis and then perform the same operation with the rear lens
plate (27).
Refit the knobs and secure the two lens plates.
- Lubrication of sliding contact
parts – QS LT
To ensure perfect operation of sliding con-tact parts of the projector,
lubricate spar-ingly at 6-monthly intervals using Kernite Lube-K-AC grease.
- Routine cleaning
To maintain the light output of the projector undiminished, parts that tend to accu-mulate dust and grease must be cleaned periodically.
In most circumstances, the projector will give long and trouble-free service if these simple guidelines are followed.
To remove dirt from the lenses and filters, use a soft cloth moistened with any liq-uid detergent suitable for cleaning glass.
IMPORTANT : do not use solvents or alcohol
-
* Parts that need cleaning frequently.- Parts that need cleaning monthly.
Internal components should also be given a general clean once a year, dislodging dust and dirt with a brush and removing it simultaneously with a vacuum cleaner.
