Installation 1.2 Access to internal components Giotto fixtures have a simple head opening mechanism. All work must ALWAYS be carried out by qualified technical personnel. ATTENTION: make certain that the fixture is switched off and that there is no risk of burns due to high component temperature (wait at least 30 minutes after switching off) To access internal components, proceed as follows: 1.
Installation 1.3 Installing the lamp ATTENTION! This fixture is designed exclusively for use with Philips MSD 400HR lamps. NEVER USE ANY OTHER TYPES OF LAMPS. • ISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY WORK ON THE FIXTURE • AKE CERTAIN THAT THE FIXTURE IS OFF AND THE TEMPERATURE OF THE COMPONENTS CAN T CAUSE BURNS WAIT AT LEAST...
Installation 1.4 Lamp alignment Every time a new lamp is installed in the fixture, it must be aligned with the optical system to ensure optimum even light output from the unit. 1. Install the new lamp (par. 1.3), close the fixture and switch it on 2.
Installation 1.6 Fitting/removal gobo adapter FITTING: Select the position in which the adapter is to be installed on the effects wheel, remove the colour filter if there is one (par. 1.7), open the disks (3) using the least possible force, slide the spring (A) in until it fits into the engraved slot, then fit the adapter (B) by pushing lightly in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Installation 1.8 Power cable construction DANGER! ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD • E LECTRICAL WORK NECESSARY FOR INSTALLING THE FIXTURE MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED PERSON • C LASS DEVICE HE FIXTURE MUST BE SUITABLY EARTHED The POWER-CON type connector supplied along with the Giotto is indispensable for connecting the fixture to the power supply.
Installation 1.92 Positioning the fixture Can be installed in any position. 1.93 Fitting clamps •Always use two clamps to hang the fixture. •Fix the fixture to the support structure using safety chains fitted to the 2 holes on the underside of the fixture's base (Fig.2). •Don't fix the safety chain to the handles.
Installation 2.0 -Construction of the signal cable Giotto spot has a DMX 512 input fitted with standard 5-pin XLR connectors. Screened cables in compliance with EIA RS-485 specifications and the following characteristics must be used for connections: - 2 conductors plus screen - 120Ohm impedance - low capacitance - max.
Installation 2.2 RS232 connection For this connection, use good quality screened coax cable (RG58 50Ohms) to avoid problems with signal transmission and faulty fixture operation. Connectors must always be 5-pin XLRs. Refer to the diagram for wiring. RS-232 COMPUTER 25 PIN CONNECTOR RS-232 COMPUTER...
Control Microcomputer 3.0 “Control” Microcomputer Giotto Spot is equipped with a microcomputer which allows to customize the fixture to suite the type of installation. In fact, it's possible to assign the start address; obtain information regarding lamp life and fixture operation time; run test programs to check correct fixture operation and customize some parameters.
Control Microcomputer Menu Options Description Range 001-495 Addr=xxx Fixture addressing NORM Normal PAN control of left to right PAN movement. Pmove Inverted PAN movement control (from right to left). Sets PAN movement start position. Range 000-540 PP_min Default configuration = 000 degrees Sets PAN movement stop position.
Control Microcomputer 3.2 Allocating the first addressed channel Addr=xxx In order to receive the commands necessary to operate from a lighting console, each fixture has to be allocated a start address. This address normally indicates the first channel used (start channel) and can be allocated following a different criterion from that used to connect the signal line.
Control Microcomputer 3.4 Direction of Tilt movement This function allows to decide the direction in which the Giotto's moving head tilts, indispensable when several fixtures are installed in order that fixtures installed opposite each other move in the same direction when they Tmove=NORM receive a command.To modify Tilt movement, proceed as follows Connect Giotto Spot to the power supply, wait till it has completed reset operations and “DMX signal”...
Control Microcomputer 3.7 Lamp strike meter The Giotto's microcomputer stores various data, including those relative to the number of lamp strikes. This information is important because needless lamp strikes causes stress to materials and components, so can Lmp_st contribute to reducing lamp life. To know how many times a lamp has been ignited: Connect Giotto Spot to the power supply, wait till it has completed reset operations and “DMX signal”...
Control Microcomputer 3.12 Remote control of fixture reset Using this menu, it's possible to decide whether to reset the fixture via remote control or not. RST_st=DS To enable this function , proceed as follows: Connect Giotto Spot to the power supply, wait till it has completed reset operations and “DMX signal” appears on the display.
Control Microcomputer 3.17 Locking/unlocking the shutter This feature allows to disable or enable Shutter closure if PAN or TILT lose their position. CSHUTT=EN Connect Giotto Spot to the power supply, wait until it has finished reset procedure and "DMX signal" appears on the display.
Control Microcomputer 3.21 Test functions Test programs can be used in the event of it being necessary to check the correct operation of the fixture or some of TEST its parts. To selection the required test program, proceed as follows: Connect Giotto Spot to the power supply, wait till it has completed reset operations and “DMX signal”...

Channel 4.13 Mspeed –ch 17- Mspeed affects PAN and TILT and is intended as the time required to complete a movement from one position to another. This means that the fixtures with the same Mspeed value will reach destination at the same instant. It's therefore possible to set movement times for each fixture which are independent of the times sent by the lighting console.
Channel 4.16 Color mode -ch 20- Used in combination with channel 6. From here it's possible to select the color wheel's operating 'mode'. VALUE FUNCTION VALUE CENTRE Digital regulation of the colors on 0 – 50 FULL COLOR centre positions Digital regulation of the colors on 51 –...
