  • Page 7: Operating Voltage And Frequency

    5. Operating voltage and frequency The projector may operate at voltages including 115-208, 230 or 240V .at 50 or 60 Hz; coemar presets (barring specific requests) a voltage of 230v at a frequency of 50Hz.. The preset voltage is indicated on a sticker located on the base of the pro- jector, as shown in the diagram.
  • Page 8: Installation

    The structure from which the unit is hung should be of sufficient rating to hold the weight of the unit, as should any clamps used to hang the unit. The structure should also be sufficiently rigid so as not to move or shake whilst the ProSpot 575 LX moves during its operation.

    ø external 10 mm, rated 300/500V, tested to 2KV, operating temperature -40° +180°, coemar cod. CV5309). mains connection ProSpot 575 LX can operate at voltages from 208V-230V-240V at 50 or 60Hz (operating voltage and frequency can be selected as described in section 5 of this manual).
  • Page 10: Signal Connection

    Control signal is digital, and is transmitted via two pair screened ø0.5mm cable. Connection is serial, utilising XLR 3 male and female sockets located on the base of the ProSpot 575 LX, labeled DMX 512 In and OUT (see diagram).
  • Page 11 English 9. Powering up After having followed the preceding steps, turn on the DMX 512 controller which will be used to control the ProSpot 575 LX. Following this, turn on the power to the projector, and turn on the projector’s power switch. The projector will perform a reset function on all the internal and external motors.
  • Page 12: Dmx Addressing

    English 10. DMX addressing Each ProSpot 575 LX utilises 16 channels of DMX 512 for complete control. (for more details see paragraph 12. DMX 512 signal functions) DMX coding To ensure that each projector accesses the correct signal, it is necessary to correctly address each fixture. Any number between 1 and 497 can be generated via the multifunction panel of the ProSpot 575 LX.
  • Page 13: Display Panel Functions

    11. Display panel functions The display panel of ProSpot 575 LX shows all the functions available; it is possible to change some of those parameters and to add some functions. Changing the setting made by coemar can vary the functions of the device so that it will not respond to the DMX 512 controller used to control it.
  • Page 14: Counter Reset

    11.1. Powering up the ProSpot 575 LX without articulated movement This function may be useful should you need to power up the ProSpot 575 LX to re-address it or alter any parameters and you wish to do this in the absence of any articulated movement.

  • Page 18: Aligning The Lamp In The Optical System

    English 13. Aligning the lamp in the optical system Aligning the lamp in the optical system is achieved via the 3 adjusters at the rear of the projector. This procedure should be undertaken to properly align the lamp in the optical system and to avoid the possible overheating of the internal compo- nents due to the incorrect focusing of the beam onto components not intended to be exposed to this.
  • Page 19: Opening Up The Projector Housing

    English 14. Opening up the projector housing By removing the casing, complete access is available to the internals of the projector. Attention Remove mains power prior to accessing the internal components of the projector. 1) Loosen the screws which affix the upper and lower covers. 2) Once unscrewed, simply lift the covers to access the internal components of the fixture.
  • Page 20: Interchanging Gobos

    English 15. Interchanging gobos ProSpot 575 LX utilises a mechanical system which allows the fixture’s gobos to be removed without the need for spe- cialised equipment. Replacement gobos should be made of either heat resistant glass or metal. An ever-increasing range of gobos is available from your coemar sales network.
  • Page 21 English Replacing gobos on the fixed gobo wheel To replace fixed gobos, proceed as per the previous instructions; we remind you that power should NOT be on. 1- Open the projector housing as described in the section above, Opening up the projector housing 2- Locate the fixed gobo wheel 3) Release the gobo retaining spring and thereby carefully remove the gobo 4) Reverse the procedure to install a replacement gobo.
  • Page 22: Altering The Operating Voltage And Frequency

    English 16. Altering the operating voltage and frequency (Reserved for technical staff only) If the factory preset operating voltage and frequency do not correspond to those in use in your country of operation, you may alter the settings as described in the following paragraphs. Incorrect selection of operating voltage and frequency will seriously compromise the functioning of the projector and immediately void the warranty.
  • Page 23 5) Operating frequency may now be set (if necessary) or the base cover replaced with the four screws previously removed. 6) Note on the sticker on the outside of the ProSpot 575 LX the new voltage which you have selected, as shown in figure 1.
  • Page 24: Automatic Internal Functions

    An internal 4 point encoder system allows the ProSpot 575 LX to return to its correct position in case the unit is accidentally knocked out of alignment whilst operating. This is particularly useful if the projector is to be mounted on the floor in a position where the performer or artist may accidentally bump the unit.
  • Page 25: Maintenance

    English 18. Maintenance Whilst every possible precaution has been taken to ensure the trouble-free operation of your ProSpot 575 LX, the follow- ing periodic maintenance is highly recommended. Attention Disconnect mains power prior to removing the projector housing. To gain access to the internals of the unit refer to section 14. of this manual, Opening the projector housing.
  • Page 26: Electronic Motor Alignment

    INSTALLER INSTRUCTIONS ONLY The display panel at the rear of the ProSpot 575 LX allows for the electronic alignment of the projector’s motors in the optical system.
