SAFE USAGE OF THE PROJECTOR

When unpacking and before disposing of the carton check there is no transportation damage before
using the projector. Should there be any damage caused by transportation, consult your dealer and do
not use the apparatus.

The projector is for indoor use only, IP20. Use only in dry locations. Keep this device away from rain
and moisture, excessive heat, humidity and dust. Do not allow contact with water or any other liquids.

The projector is not designed or intended to be mounted directly on to inflammable surfaces.

The projector is only intended for installation, operation and maintenance by qualified personnel.

The projector must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 50cm from adjacent
wall surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.

Do not project the beam onto inflammable surfaces, minimum distance is 3m. 3m

Avoid direct exposure to the light from the lamp. The light is harmful to the eye.

Do not attempt to dismantle and/or modify the projector in any way.

Electrical connection must only be carried out by qualified personnel.

Before installation, ensure that the voltage and frequency of power supply match the power
requirements of the projector.

It is essential that each projector is correctly earthed and that electrical installation conforms to all
relevant standards.

Do not connect this device to any other types of dimmer apparatus.

Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Never let the power-
cord come into contact with other cables. Only handle the power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the
plug by tugging the power-cord.

Keep the lamp clean. Do not touch the lamp glass with bare hand.

The projector should always be installed with a secondary safety fixing. A safety cord is supplied for
this; it should be attached as shown in installing the projectorsection.

The lamp used in this projector is a Philips MSR575 discharge lamp. After switching off don t attempt
to restart the projector until lamp has cooled, this will require approx 15 minutes. Switching the lamp
on and off at short intervals will reduce the life of both the lamp and the projector. But occasional
breaks will prolong the life of the lamp and projector.

Never run the projector without a lamp.

There is no user serviceable parts inside the projector do not open the housing and never operate the
projector with the covers removed.

Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it or before

Connect the power cord as follows:
L (live) =brown
E (earth) =yellow/green
N (neutral) =blue
Use the plug provided to connect the mains power to the projector paying attention to the voltage and
frequency marked on the panel of the projector. It is recommended that each projector be supplied
separately so that they may be individually switched on and off.

IMPORTANT
It is essential that each projector is correctly earthed and the electrical installation conforms to
all relevant standards. Power consumption of the PILOT 575 is 780W.

CONTROL CONNECTIONS

Connection between controller and projector and between one projector and another must be made
with 2 core-screened cable, with each core having at least a 0.5mm diameter. Connection to and from
the projector is via cannon 3 pin (which are included with the projector) or 5 pin XLR plugs and sockets.
The XLR's are connected as shown in the figure above.
Note: care should be taken to ensure that none of the pins touch the metallic body of the plug or each
other. The body of the plug is not connected in any way. The PILOT 575 accepts digital control signals
in protocol DMX512 (1990).
Connect the controller s output to the first fixture
s input, and connect the first fixture
s output to the
second fixture s input and connect the rest fixtures in the same way. Eventually connect the last
fixture
s output to a DMX terminator as shown in the figure below.

DMX TERMINATOR
In the Controller mode, at the last fixture in the chain, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX
terminator. This prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120 (ohm) resistor connected across pins 2
and 3, which is then plugged into the output socket on the last projector in the chain. The connections
are illustrated below.

DMX TERMINATOR CONNECTION

Connect a 120(OHM) resistor across
pins 2 and 3 in an XLR plug and insert
into the DMX OUT socket on the last
unit in the chain.

14/22 Pilot 575 Manual_ Last Revision_En.doc

MAINTENANCE
If the projectors lens becomes damaged or broken it should be replaced. If the lamp becomes
damaged or deformed in any way it must be replaced. If the light from the lamp appears dim this
would normally indicate that it is reaching the end of its life and it should be changed at once, aged
lamps run to the extremity of their life might explode. If the projector does not function, check the
fuses on the power socket of the projector, they should only be replaced by fuses of the same
specification(200/220/230/240V: 6.35x32 T7A/250V; 100/120V: 6.35x32 T15A/250V). On the
PCBs inside the projector there are also 3 fuses. They are 1 fuse F2A250V 5mmx20mm on Pan
and Tilt PCB and 2 fuses F2A250V 5mmx20mm on 2 SLAVE PCBs. Should these be damaged call
a qualified technician before replacement. The projector has thermal protection device that will switch
off the projector in case of overheating, should either of these operation, check that the fans are not
blocked, and if they are dirty clean them before switching on the projector again. Check that the fans
are operational, if not call a qualified technician.
Any maintenance work should only be carried out by qualified technicians.

LUBRICATION

To ensure the continuous rotation of the rotating gobos and linear motion of the lens for focusing,
it is recommended that the bearings for the rotating gobos and the 3 shafts for the focusing lens
holder be lubricated periodically, preferably every two months. Use only high quality, high-
temperature resistant grease instead of any type of oil. When lubricating the bearings, a syringe
with a fine needle is the easiest way to introduce the grease to the bearings around each gobo.

KEEPING THE PROJECTOR CLEAN

To ensure the reliability of the projector it should be kept clean. It is recommended that the fans
should be cleaned every 15 days. The lens and dichroic colour filters should also be regularly cleaned
to maintain an optimum light output. Do NOT use any type of solvent on dichroic colour filters.

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoke or
particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit
s optics. A soft cloth
and typical glass cleaning products should be used in cleaning. It is recommended to clean the
external optics at least once every 20 days and clean the internal optics at least once every 30 / 60
days.

CHANGING THE OPERATION FREQUENCY
To be carried out by qualified engineers only
The power input settings of the PILOT 575 may be changed to suit the supply in your area that the
unit is to be operated. The voltage and frequency are pre-set at the factory and marked on the
exterior of the unit.
Any error or mistake in setting the voltage or frequency of the projector may seriously damage the
unit.
Make sure the specifications of the transformer match the power supply and if not, the suitable
transformer must be ordered (see the data).
It is strongly recommended that you immediately mark the new frequency on the projector so that it
may not be mistaken for the factory set frequency.

To change the frequency

Open the base of the projector by unscrewing the eight screws on the top of the base and do the
following operation.
Locate the ballast in the base of the projector, and select the required frequency from 50Hz or 60Hz
by moving the cable to the appropriate position. The ballast will be labeled to show the connections.
Never move or disconnect the cable attached to the connector marked L.

L 60 50H
Hz z

Once finished with the settings, re-assemble covers.
