-The level of technology inherent in the MAX requires the assistance of specialised personnel for all servicing. Please refer to an authorised DTS service centre. -A good earth connection is essential for proper functioning of the projector.
6.4 Safety: -Risk Group 2 product according to EN 62471. CAUTION. Do not look directly into the light output and do not view the light beam with optical instruments or any device that may concentrate the beam. May be harmful to the eyes and skin. -Do not stare at the operating light source.
7- MOUNTING / REPLACING THE LAMP WARNING Turn off the lamp before opening the unit head covers. Never look directly at the lamp when it’s lit. Discharge lamps emits UV rays; radiation from this lamp can cause damage to eyes and skin. Let the projector cool for at least 20 minutes.

8- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY MAX operates at 100-240Vac 50-60 Hz. 9- INSTALLATION MAX may be either floor or ceiling mounted. For floor mounting installations, the MAX is supplied with four rubber mounting feet on the base. For ceiling mounted installations, we reccomend the use of appropriate clamps to fix the unit to the mounting surface.
Page 16
The supporting structure from which the unit is hung should be capable of bearing the weight of the unit, as should any clamps used to hang it. The structure should also be sufficiently rigid so as not to move or shake whilst the MAX is moving.
9.1- Safety cable We recommend the use of a safety cable or chain connected to the MAX and to the suspension truss in order to avoid the fixture accidentally falling should the main fixing point fail. Make sure that the iron cable or chain can bear the weight of the entire unit. You may attach the safety chain/cord to the attachment point (A) located on the base of the fixture, as shown in the picture below.
9.3- Movement Pan: unlimited rotation; Tilt: 270° (1,5 sec.). Do not place any obstructions in the path of the projector's movement. WARNING Do not place any object in the path of the projector’s movement 9.4- Risk of fire Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated place. It is permissible to place the unit on normally flammable surfaces.
10- MAINS CONNECTION MAX operates at 100-240Vac 50-60 Hz. Prior to connecting the unit to your mains supply, ensure that the model in your possession correctly matches the mains supply available. For connection purposes, ensure that your plug is capable of supporting 2,5 amps at 230 Vac, or 6 amps at 90 Vac each unit connected.
11- DMX SIGNAL CONNECTION The unit operates using the digital DMX 512 signal. Connection between the mixer and the projector or between projectors must be carried out using a two pair screened ø 0.5 mm cable and a XLR 5 or 3 pins connector. Ensure that the conductors do not touch each other.
Updating the firmware release. Please follow the procedure below to perform the update: 1. Connect the DTS Dongle Firmware Uploader to a spare USB port on the PC. 2. Connect the unit DMX input to the DTS Dongle Firmware Uploader DMX output with a standard DMX cable and turn ON the unit.
13- DISPLAY FUNCTIONS DISPLAY MENU ENTER DOWN DISPLAY FUNCTIONS The MAX display panel shows all the available functions . Using these functions, it is possible to change some of the parameters and add some functions. Changing the D.T.S. setting can vary the functions of the unit so that it does not respond to the DMX 512 used to control it.

15- OPENING THE PROJECTOR HOUSING It is possible to inspect the inside of the projector by removing the cover as indicated below. ATTENTION REMOVE MAINS POWER PRIOR TO ACCESSING THE PROJECTOR’S INTERNAL COMPONENTS. 1) Loosen the 3 “¼ turn” screws which fix the head covers on both sides (picture 1) . 2) Once loosened the screws, simply lift the covers to access the internal components (picture 2).
Also fixed gobos are interchangeable. REPLACEMENT GOBOS Replacement gobos must be made only of glass with special high temperature treatment. Please refer to an authorised DTS dealer for details. Gobo dimensions are as follows: Rotating gobos ø...
Periodically check the lubrification of all components, particularly the parts subject to high temperatures. If necessary, lubrificate with suitable lubrificant, available from your DTS distributor. Check the tension of the belts and adjust it if necessary. Electrical components Check all electrical components for correct earthing and proper connection of all connectors, refastening if necessary.
