INSTALLATION
Installing/Replacing the lamp
DANGER TO LIFE!
Only install the lamp with the device switched off! Unplug from mains before!
For the installation, you need one 230 V/1200 W G-22 lamp.
The lamp must only be changed when wearing appropriate protective clothing (protection glasses, protection gloves, helmet with sight, leather apron).
CAUTION!
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat!
The lamp life given by the manufacturer must never be exceeded. This is why you need to take notes on the operational time of the lamp or check the operating hour meter regularly and replace the lamp in time.
Keep exchanged lamp in a protective container and remove accordingly.
During the operation, the lamp reaches temperatures of up to 600^ C.
Before replacing the lamp, unplug mains lead and let the lamp cool down (approx. 10 minutes).
During the installation do not touch the glass-bulbs bare-handed! Please follow the lamp manufacturer's notes!
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the device was not designed for. Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.

Step 2: If replacing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the lamp holder.
Step 3: Insert the lamp into the lamp holder.
Step 4: Replace the lamp system in the housing and tighten the fixation screws.
Step 5: Adjust the lamp as described under lamp adjustment.
Do not operate this device with opened cover!
Lamp adjustment
The lampholder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, fine adjustment may improve light performance.
Strike the lamp, open the shutter, set the dimmer intensity onto 100 % and direct the light towards a flat surface (wall). Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment screws "A, B, C". Turn one screw at a time to drag the hot-spot diagonally across the projected image. If you cannot detect a hot-spot, adjust the lamp until the light is even.
To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three until the light is evenly distributed.
If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low, the lamp is too far back in the reflector. "Push" the lamp out by turning the screws "A, B, C" counterclockwise 14 -turn at a time the light is bright and evenly distributed.
Overhead rigging
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the respective national norms during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.
Procedure:
The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.
The projector has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the projector shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The projector must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Projectors may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the projector!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the projector's weight.
DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5 m.
Mount the projector with the mounting-bracket to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp.
For overhead use, always install an appropriate safety bond.
You must only use safety bonds complying with DIN 56927, quick links complying with DIN 56926, shackles complying with DIN EN 1677-1 and BGV C1 carbines. The safety bonds, quick links, shackles and the carbines must be sufficiently dimensioned and used correctly in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations (e.g. BGV C1, BGI 810-3).
English
Please note: for overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be followed that this manual can only give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current safety instructions and consider them.
The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations or insufficient safety precautions!
Pull the safety bond through the hole in the mounting-bracket and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw.
The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.
A safety bond which already held the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again.
Adjust the desired inclination-angle via the mounting-bracket and tighten the fixation screws.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert!
DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures
DMX-512 Controller
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Please note, the starting address depends upon which controller is being used.
Only use a stereo shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
English
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
DMX-output
XLR mounting-socket:
1: Ground
2: Signal (−)
3: Signal (+)
DMX-input
XLR mounting-plug:
1: Ground
2: Signal (−)
3: Signal (+)
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (−) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:
| Cable Pin International | |||
| Brown Live L | |||
| Blue Neutral N | |||
| Yellow/Green Earth |  | ||
The earth has to be connected!
If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation.
The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC-standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current of 30 mA.
Lighting effects must not be connected to dimming-packs.
OPERATION
After you connected the effect to the mains, the PCC-1200 starts running. During the Reset, the motors are trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards.
Stand Alone operation
In the Stand Alone mode, the PCC-1200 can be used without controller.
Disconnect the PCC-1200 from the controller and call the internal program.
- Press [ENTER] for 3 seconds to enter the main menu "MODE" (display flashing)
- Press [ENTER] and select "RUN" by pressing [UP] button.
- Press [ENTER] and select "AUTO" by pressing [UP] button.
- Press [ENTER] and select "ALONE" by pressing [UP] button.
- Press [ENTER] to confirm, the display shows "AU-A".
- Press[EXIT/DN] in order to return to the main menu.
Please refer to the instructions under Control Board, Main functions, menus Run and Edit.
DMX-controlled operation
You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different occupation with different features. The individual channels and their features are listed under DMX-protocol.
Addressing
The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX starting address, which is defined as the first channel from which the PCC-1200 will respond to the controller.
Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each PCC-1200 correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX-chain.
If several PCC-1200 are addressed similarly, they will work synchronically.
Press the Up/Down-buttons for setting the desired starting address. Now you can start operating the PCC-1200 via your lighting controller.
Note:
The modes of DMX 512 data are shown via the display:
After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If the data is received, the display will show "A.001" with the actually set address. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will flash "A001" with the actually set address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the device.
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the input connector.
Note:
It's necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last device in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.

Error Messages
When you turn on the fixture, it will make a reset first. The display may show "XXEr" while there are problems with one or more channels. "XX" stands for the channels equipped with a testing sensor.
For example, when the display shows "03Er", it means there is some error in channel 3. If there are some errors on channel 1, channel 2, channel 3 at the same time, you may see the error message "01Er", "02Er", "03Er" flash repeatedly for 5 times, and then the fixture will generate a reset signal, all the stepper motors will reset. If the error messages maintain after performing reset more than 3 times, it will detect whether the fixture has more than 3 errors. If the fixture has more than 3 errors (including 3 errors), all the channels can not work properly; but if the fixture has less than 3 errors, only the channels which have errors can not work properly, others can work as usual.
01Er:
(Color-wheel 1 error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its drive circuit on the main PCB). The color wheel is not located in the default position after the reset.
02Er:
(Color-wheel 2 error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its drive circuit on the main PCB). The color wheel is not located in the default position after the reset.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1) All screws used for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
2) There must not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, suspension, trussing).
3) Mechanically moved parts like axles, eyes and others must not show any traces of wearing (e.g. material abrading or damages) and must not rotate with unbalances.
4) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation!
We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents!
CAUTION!
The lens has to be replaced when it is obviously damaged, so that its function is impaired, e. g. due to cracks or deep scratches!
The objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing the light-output very quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly.
The dichroic colour-filters and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.
To ensure a proper function of the rotating parts, we recommend lubrication in six month intervals. The
English
quantity of oil must not be excessive in order to avoid that oil runs out when the wheel rotates.
There are no serviceable parts inside the device except for the lamp and the fuse. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers.
Please refer to the instructions under "Installing/Replacing the lamp".
Replacing the fuse
If the lamp burns out, the fine-wire fuse of the device might fuse, too. Only replace the fuse by a fuse of same type and rating.
Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.
Procedure:
Step 1: Unscrew the fuseholder on the rearpanel with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anti-clockwise).
Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuseholder.
Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuseholder.
Step 4: Replace the fuseholder in the housing and fix it.
Should you need any spare parts, please use genuine parts.
If the power supply cable of this device becomes damaged, it has to be replaced by a special power supply cable available at your dealer.
Should you have further questions, please contact your dealer.
