Do not use microphone cable or other cable with characteristics differing from those specified. The end connections must be made using XLR type 5 pin male/female connectors. A terminating plug must be inserted into the last projector with a resistance of 120Ohm (minimum 1/4 W) between terminals 2 and 3.

CLAYPAKY CL3012 Arolla Spot MP - Fig 6 Switching on the projector – Fig. 9
Switch-on the fixture. The projector starts resetting the effects. At the same time, the following information scrolls on the display:

Model Firmware Dmx Address xxx
Arolla Version X.X.X
Spot MP Date – Hour

On conclusion of resetting in case of absence of the dmx signal, Pan and Tilt move to the “Home” position (Pan 128 bit – Tilt 128 bit). The control panel (Fig. 8) has a display and buttons for the complete programming and management of the projector menu. The display can be in one of two conditions: rest status and setting status. When it is in the rest status, the display shows the projector’s DMX address.
During menu setting status, after a wait time (about 30 seconds) without any key having been pressed, the display automatically returns to rest status.
It should be noted than when this condition occurs, any possible value that has been modified but not yet confirmed with the ok  key will be cancelled.CLAYPAKY CL3012 Arolla Spot MP - Fig 7

To activate this function, press UP and DOWN keys simultaneously while the display is in the rest mode. This status will be memorised and maintained even for the next time it will be switched on. To return to the initial state, repeat the operation all over again.
Setting the projector starting address
On each projector, the starting address must be set for the control signal (addresses from 1 to 512). The address can also be set with the projector switched off.

To ensure optimal operation and performance for a long time it is essential to periodically clean the parts subject to dust and grease deposits. The frequency with which the following operations are to be carried out depends on various factors, such as the amount of the effects and the quality of the working environment (air humidity, presence of dust, salinity, etc.).
Use a soft cloth dampened with any detergent liquid for cleaning glass to remove the dirt from the reflectors, from the lenses and filters. It is recommended that the projector undergoes an annual service by a qualified technician for special maintenance involving at least the following operations:

  • General cleaning of internal parts.
  • Restoring lubrication of all parts subject to friction, using lubricants specifically supplied by Claypaky.
  • General visual check of the internal components, cabling, mechanical parts, etc.
