Before connecting the equipment to the power outlet, first, verify that the mains voltage and frequency match the values specified on the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage selection switch, connect the equipment to the power outlet only if the equipment values and the mains power values match. If the included power cord or power adapter does not fit in your wall outlet, contact your electrician.
If the power cord of the device is equipped with an earthing contact, then it must be connected to an outlet with a protective ground. Never deactivate the protective ground of a power cord.
This symbol on the product or on its packaging indicates that this product shall not be treated as household waste. Instead, it shall be handed over to the applicable collection point for the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment.
By ensuring this product is disposed of correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate waste handling of the product. The recycling of materials will help to conserve natural resources. For more detailed information about recycling of this product, please contact your local Civic Office, your household waste disposal service, or the shop where you purchased the product.
If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g., after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The rising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
On the label on the backside of the product is indicated that this type of power supply must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this, all other voltages than specified, the light effect can be irreparably damaged. The product must also be directly connected to the mains and may be used. No dimmer or adjustable power supply.
Always connect the device to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the device has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
When carrying out any installation, always comply with European and national guidelines concerning rigging, truss, and all other safety issues. Always let the installation be checked out by an authorized dealer!
Product Usage Instructions:
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first fixture in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, you must close the DMX line with a terminating resistor. Take an XLR connector and solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) and connect it to the DMX output of the last fixture in the line.
Caution: Before using the fixture, enable the RDM function via Advanced settings in the menu. See below picture.

RIGGING
The fixture may be set up on a stable and even surface. By means of the fixing facilities of the baseplate, the unit can also be mounted upside down to a truss, see below picture. For fixing, certified clamps with correct save working load are required. According to the figure, the quick lock bolts of the omega brackets are placed into the openings provided in the base plate and turned clockwise until they lock (to the stop). The mounting place must be of sufficient stability and be able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight. Secure the fixture with a safety cable so that it cannot fall down. When carrying out any installation, always comply with European and national guidelines concerning rigging, truss, and all other safety issues. Always let the installation checked out by an authorized dealer !
you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first fixture in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
DMX512 CONTROL
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first fixture in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution : At the last fixture, you must close the DMX line with a terminating resistor. Take an XLR connector and solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) and connect it to the DMX output of the last fixture in the line.
ROM CONTROL
The BTS250C can communicate using RDM (Remote Device Management) via DMX512.
RDM is a bi-directional communication protocol for use in DMX512
control systems, it is the open standard for DMX512 configuration and status
monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 line without affecting the existing non-RDM equipment. The system allows a controller or special RDM controller to send and receive commands from specific fixtures. The RDM function allows you, for example to remotely set the DMX start address of your fixtures. This is especially useful when the fixture is installed in an inaccessible location. Each BTS250C has an RDM UID (unique identification number).
Caution : Before using the fixture, enable the RDM function via “Advanced settings” in the menu. See below picture.
To remove and install the BTS profile lens tubes:
LENS TUBE
Step 1 : Loosen (but do not remove) lens tube knobs (A) .
Step 2: Slide the lens tube a little to the left or right.
Step 3 : Lift the lens tube assembly up and away from light source.
Step 4 : To install perform the process in reverse.The BTS profile tube
has a manual zoom and focus system which allows you to easily make small focus
adjustments using a gear-based knob on side of the lens tube.
- To zoom in, loosen the thumb wheel bolts (B) on the sides of the lens barrel slightly and slide lens in or out of the tube. Tighten the thumbwheel bolts again to hold the zoom setting.
- To focus in, loosen the thumb wheel bolts (C) on the sides of the lens barrel slightly and slide lens in or out of the tube. Tighten the thumbwheel bolts again to hold the zoom setting.
Caution : Ensure the lens tube locking catch is fully fixed and safety cable is attached before putting fixture into use
MANUAL SHUTTERS ADJUSTMENT
This fixture has 4 manually operated shutters for adjusting the beam.
COLOUR FILTERS
Using the colour filter frame you can add colour correction or diffusion
filters to the front of the fixture. Push the securing clip (D) to one side to
release it. Ensure the securing clip (D) clicked back into place to prevent
the colour filter frame from falling out.
Caution : Ensure the filter holder securing clip is fully fixed and
safety cable is attached before putting fixture into use.
REPLACING THE FUSE
If the fuse is defective, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and value. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.
Procedure :
Step 1 : Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a fitting
screwdriver.
Step 2 : Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
Step 3 : Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.
Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.
CLEANING
The buildup of dust, dirt and other airborne particles will reduce the
fixture’s light output. It will also prevent the fixture from cooling
correctly, and this will reduce the fixture’s lifetime. The rate of dirt
buildup will vary depending on environmental factors such as airborne dust,
use of smoke machines, airflow from ventilation systems, etc. The fixture’s
cooling fans will accelerate buildup, and any smoke particles that are present
in the atmosphere will increase the tendency for dirt to clog.
To get the best performance and lifetime from the fixture, inspect it
regularly and clean it as soon as you see signs of dirt buildup. Assess the
operating environment each time you begin to use the fixture. In dusty or
smoky conditions, inspect the fixture after a few hours and check it
frequently the fixture may attract dirt faster than you expect. Draw up a
cleaning schedule that will make sure that dirt is removed before it can build
up.
Use the following guidelines:
- Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
- Do not use solvents, abrasives or any other aggressive product to clean the fixture.
- Vacuum or use low-pressure compressed air to remove dust and loose particles from surfaces and air vents. Prevent the blades of cooling fans from turning before you aim a vacuum or air jet at the fan, or you may spin the fan too fast and damage it.
- Clean glass components by wiping gently with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Put the solution on the cloth and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
- Dry the fixture with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before reapplying power.
