Unplug the unit prior to performing any function which involves touching the inside of the moving head. -The level of technology inherent in the SYNERGY 5 SPOT requires the assistance of specialised personnel for all servicing. Please refer to an authorised DTS service centre.
6.3 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- PAN / TILT LOCK When moving or servicing the unit you can apply the Pan and Tilt lock. To lock or release the Pan and Tilt refer to the picture below. 8- VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY SYNERGY 5 SPOT operates at 100-240Vac 50-60 Hz.
SYNERGY 5 SPOT is moving. Four 1/4 turn Fast Locks connections placed in the base of the unit allow to hang the SYNERGY 5 SPOT by using two Omega brackets (provided in the box) in conjunction with Aliscaf clamp (available on demand).
9.1- Safety cable A safety cable must be securely fixed to the SYNERGY 5 SPOT and to the suspension truss in order to avoid the fixture accidentally falling should the main fixing point fail. Make sure that the safety cable or chain can bear the weight of the entire unit.
9.2 Protection against liquids The projector contains electric and electronic components which should under no circumstances come into contact with oil, water or any other liquid. The proper unit functioning would be compromised should this occur. 9.3- Movement Pan: 540° rotation ; Tilt: 240° rotation. Do not place any object in the path of the projector’s movement.
10- MAINS CONNECTION SYNERGY 5 SPOT 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 3 amps at 230Vac or 6,5 amps at 100Vac 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.
11.1-DMX Addresses SYNERGY 5 SPOT can be controlled with 37 DMX channels. In order to use the unit in 37 DMX channels mode, set the following addresses on the mixer: Projector 1 A001 If you want to select the next projector, just add “37”...
12- Art-Net / sACN SIGNAL CONNECTION The unit operates using the Art-Net / sACN signal (sACN not yet implemented). Connection between the mixer and the projector must be carried out using a category 5 network cable and a standard RJ45 connector. 12.1-Direct Ethernet operation For direct Ethernet operation connect the mixer Art-Net / sACN signal via Ethernet switch to each unit etherCON RJ45 input connector.
12.2-Ethernet to DMX operation (not yet implemented) For Ethernet to DMX operation connect the mixer Art-Net / sACN signal via Ethernet switch to the etherCON RJ45 input connector of the first unit only (sACN not yet implemented). In this configuration the first unit works as an Ethernet to DMX converter and sends DMX signal to its DMX output connector.
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.
Changing the DTS setting can vary the functions of the unit so that it does not respond to the DMX 512 used to control it. Carefully follow the instructions below before carrying out any variations or selections.

Page 31
2) Lift each cover, slide the silicone tube down and unhook the safety wire to access the internal head components.
17- REMOVING / REPLACING THE ROTATING GOBOS SYNERGY 5 SPOT uses a mechanical system which allows the fixture's gobos to be removed without the use of special tools. When replacing gobos, ensure that the projector is switched off. Open the projector housing as described on page 31 and pull out the gobo holder from...
Page 33
REPLACEMENT GOBOS Replacement gobos should be made in either dichroic glass or metal. Gobo dimensions are as follows: Rotating gobos ø external (ED) = 27.9 mm + 0 / - 0,1 mm ø of image (ID) = 21.0 mm thickness = from 0.2 to 3 mm (see catalogue) Max thickness 3 mm Coated side...
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.
