Futurelight DJScan 300 - DANGER TO LIFE! - 1

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 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.

Procedure:

Step 1: Unscrew the fixation screws X, Y of the lamp system and carefully remove it from the housing.

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.

Lamp adjustment

CAUTION, HOT LAMP! Let the lamp cool down for 10 min. Change the lamp by loosening screws X and Y. Adjust the lamp position by turning screws A, B and C.

The lampholder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, fine adjustment may improve light performance.

Strike the lamp, open the shutter and the iris, set the dimmer intensity onto 100 % and focus the light on 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 hotspot, adjust the lamp until the light is even.

English

To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws "A, B, C" clockwise 14 -turn at a time 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.

Futurelight DJScan 300 - Overhead rigging - 1

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 device 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 device 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 device 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 device. 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 device has to be installed out of the reach of people.

If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

Caution: Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the device!

Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device's weight.

Futurelight DJScan 300 - Procedure: - 1

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 device 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 56927, 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).

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 attachment eyelet 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.

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 power-plug.

The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows:

Cable Pin International
Brown Live L
Blue Neutral N
Yellow/Green EarthFuturelight DJScan 300 - Connection with the mains - 1

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 DJ-SCAN 300 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 DJ-SCAN 300 can be used without controller. You can do without a controller as the DJ-SCAN 300 features a built-in microphone, which provides automatic sound control.

Disconnect the DJ-SCAN 300 from the controller and select the desired "Master Mode".

If you have connected a footswitch to the Blackout-socket, you can lock the light output (Blackout-mode) and turn it on again.

Master/Slave-operation

Connect the master and slave-devices and adjust the settings as described above.

DMX-controlled operation

You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different occupation with different features. In order to call up the different features, you first have to open the light output (control channel 6, DMX-value 250-255).

Addressing

The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel from which the DJ-SCAN 300 will respond to the controller.

Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each DJ-SCAN 300 correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link.

If two, three or more DJ-SCAN 300 are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

To set DMX address for the device, press the encoder and turn it clock-wise to increase the value and counter-clockwise to decrease it. Press encoder again to confirm.

English

Controlling:

After having addressed all DJ-SCAN 300, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.

Note:

After switching on, the DJ-SCAN 300 will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If the data is received, the green control LED lights up. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the green control LED does not light up.

This situation can occur if:

- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the DJ-SCAN 300.

- 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 lighting in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.

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.

Futurelight DJScan 300 - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE - 1

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!

Futurelight DJScan 300 - DANGER TO LIFE! - 1

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 gobos may be cleaned with a soft brush. The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.

The dichroic colour-filters, the gobo-wheel and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly.

To ensure a proper function of the gobo-wheel, we recommend lubrication in six month intervals. The quantity of oil must not be excessive in order to avoid that oil runs out when the gobo-wheel rotates.

There are no serviceable parts inside the device. 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 fine-wire fuse of the device fuses, only replace the fuse by a fuse of same type and rating.

Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.

Procedure:

Step 1: Open the fuseholder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver.
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.

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.
