  • Page 6: Introduction

    P1 8 3. Introduction ATTENTION: For your own safety, please read these operating instructions carefully before first use. This spotlight has left our company in excellent condition. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, it is absolutely essential to observe the following safety instructions and warnings which are described in this operating manual.
  • Page 7 If the P18 is operated below 0°, gobo/prism swapping and gobo/prism rotation are reduced in speed. This is a protective mechanism of the P18, as at low temperatures the lubricant is relatively viscous in the rotational mechanism and can therefore cause the effect to be slurred.

  • Page 8: Unpacking The Device

    TRUE1 plug (only the powerCON-TRUE1 plug is included in the US version). The installation of the safety plug or  the connection of the P18 to the power supply (100-240 Volt, 50 - 60 Hertz) must be carried out by an authorised specialist.

  • Page 9: Mains Connection

    4.3 Wiring the power feed-through ATTENTION: Only have it carried out by a specialist! The P18 has a powerCON-TRUE1 out power output. Depending on the local conditions several devices can be linked by powerCON-TRUE1 in and powerCON-TRUE1 out. Connect a maximum of two (when using 230V/16A) P18s in a row.

  • Page 10: Signal Connections

    Special cables with etherCON connectors are recommended by Neutrik. The two sockets on the P18 are connected to each other via a switch. Up to 10 devices can be connected in series without any delay. Of course, the spotlights can also be supplied in a star configuration via an external switch.

  • Page 11: Control Panel

    P1 8 5. Control panel The P18 has a graphic colour touch display that can be rotated 180° when installed in a suspended position. The display can be rotated via the touch screen from software version 1.5. All parameters of the P18 can be set on the control panel (see menu overview page 12).

    The motion resolution can be changed from 16 bits to 8 bits under RESOLUTION. In the factory setting, this is set to 16 bits. In 8-bit resolution, the P18 can be positioned less precisely, but can be operated more rapidly depending on the lighting console. The menu items PAN INVERSE and TILT INVERSE allow you to invert the direction of movement.
  • Page 15 LED module runs cooler and thus more “stress-free”. There is no danger to the life of the device in any mode, as the P18 has a temperature safety shutdown. In addition, the LED module is switched off from an ambient temperature of 60°C!

  • Page 16: Standalone Operation

    P1 8 5.6 STANDALONE operation In standalone operation, up to 20 program steps can be stored in the P18, which can then run in an endless loop. The images can be saved in two ways. Either you program the desired DMX values directly on P18 and save them, or you set the DMX values via a connected DMX console and then store them in the P18.

  • Page 17: Info

    P1 8 5.7 INFO The Info menu informs you about the respective software and firmware status, about the total operating time and the different temperatures of the spotlight. The first two menu items in the Info area are the software version and the firmware version, whereby the software version is an important source of information for our service requests, the firmware version is less important source of internal information.
