1. all motors Because the lamp is a metal halide type when the lamp strikes and fires up it can create a certain amount of electrical noise within MM 200 that may possible disturb the microprocessor When this happens MM 200 s processor will initiate a second reset to ensure that the motors are registered in their correct position Once completed MM 200 will be ready to operate MOUNTING MM 200 Use an appropriately sized C clamp or threaded rod strong enough for mounting MM 200 The installation must always be secured with a backup safety attachment namely an appropriate sized safety cable Don t clamp the safety to the same threaded rod or the same C clamp That defeats the reason for a safety cable namely a SEPARATE backup to the primary hanging mechanism Never stand directly below the device when mounting removing or servicing the MM 200 Please make sure MM 200 has been installed correctly both from a mechanical and electrical aspect before powering up and operating for the first time Spending a few extra minutes double checking everything is better than rushing to turn the fixture on Care should be taken to mount MM 200 Make sure that MM 200 is mounted in such a way that no one can touch it directly For example when hanging MM 200 make sure it is high enough up not to hit anyone s head or run into any obstruction in its movement Always keep MM 200 away from any inflammable material Mounting MM 200 is a job that requires2. qualified personnel with experience If the personnel doing the installation lack these qualifications do not use them to do the installation DMX 512 CONTROL CONNECTION Connect the 3 pin XLR cable to the DMX controller and then to the first MM 200 in the daisy chain Doing it this way round avoids the pain of rewiring if you get the wrong end of the cable back at the controller Continue wiring from one MM 200 to another in a daisy chain manner Never try to Y split cables Never try to star wire a DMX cable run it will not work If additional cable needs to be made up then two core cable with a screen needs to be purchased For wiring please see the diagram below DMX output DMX input XLR mounting sockat XLR mounting sockat 1 Ground 1 Ground 2 Signal 2 Signal 3 Signal 3 Signal DMX has a maximum running distance of 330 feet When long distances are involved then there is a tendency for electrical noise to be evident In that case a DMX terminator will be required The terminator helps prevent corruption of the DMX signal To make a DMX terminator simply solder a 120 ohm resistor across pins 2 and 3 of an XLR male connector Then place that connector at the very end of the DMX cable run In other words at the last MM 200 1200 It maybe the case that you will need to connect a 5 pin XLR to the 3 pin XLR In a normal DMX wiring configuration the 5 pin is soldered identically to the 3 pin So in the 5 pin 1
3. then expect anything up to half an hour before the housing is cool enough to consider even opening up 3 When installing a new lamp do not touch any glass part of the lamp Always use a clean cloth to handle lamps The sweat from your fingers will cause the lamp to burn incorrectly and will shorten lamp life If you do touch the glass then check in the lamp box for a special wipe to clean the lamp 4 Only install MSD 200 lamps Any other lamp is not acceptable PROCEDURE 1 Remove the thumbscrews which secure the access plate of the lamp and open the housing 2 Hold the lamp in a clean cloth so as not to touch the lamp with your fingers 3 Carefully insert the lamp into the lamp holder Make sure the lamp is firmly in the lamp holder sockets 4 Replace the lamp housing and tighten up the thumbscrews 5 You may need to adjust the lamp for peak output To do this there are 3 screws on the lamp housing It s important to remember that the lamp is not a hot restrike type So you must wait approximately 10 minutes before trying to restrike the lamp Warning Never ever operate the lamp when it is not inside the fixture MSD lamps are volatile and could possibly explode Only turn on the fixture with the lamp securely inside the fixture and the cover plate screwed on SWITCHING ON THE UNIT When MM 200 is switched on the electronics perform a reset this function will allow the microprocessor control system to register the positions of
4. way you can create groups of fixtures having the same effects happen at the same time There is no restriction on how many MM 200s you have on the same starter address If you just bought 4 x MM 200 and it came with an Elektralite CP10xt the starter addresses in the CP10xt have already been set All you have to do is set the starter addresses on MM 200s If you have another controller then you will have to set it s starter addresses for each MM 200 before you will be able to control any MM 200 TIPS amp TRICKS 1 If you change the address on MM 200 it may appear not to have accepted that address Turn MM 200 off wait until the lamp cools down remember it is not a hot re strike lamp and then turn it back on again When you turn on MM 200 if there is no data getting to it then run a cable directly from the controller to the fixture and test it directly Do not have any other fixture or cable in line to the MM200 you cannot operate NON DMX FUNCTIONS There are two functions which are non DMxX and which can be activated using the DIP switches They are marked on the dipswitches 1 Automatic mode of operation Turn this dipswitch on to activate the auto mode 2 Focus function When this dipswitch is on the shutter will open and the color wheel will also be in open position This allows for easy focusing of the front lens without recourse to a controller Note MM 200 will not respond to any DMX control when in this mode CLEANI
5. Ground 2 Signal 3 Signal Pins 4 and 5 are not used Be very sure you read the pin numbering on the connector when you solder up the connector Do not just wire up the three pins to the left or right because the male and female connector has the pins on different sides of the connector Read the pin numbers FIT TERMINAL ON LAST MM 200 CONTROLLER last MM200 PROJECTOR DMX START ADDRESS SELECTION In order for the controller like Elektralite s CP10xt to control each MM 200 it has to know where it is in the daisy chain of DMX To do this all MM 200s have to be set to a start address To understand the concept of a starter address we also have to understand the concept of channels and the features those channels have MM 200 uses 4 channels of DMX Those channels control the features of MM 200 They are as follows CHANNEL 1 select one of the 10 colors color cycle or rainbow effect CHANNEL 2 select one of the 8 gobo s CHANNEL 3 Pan movement max 170 CHANNEL 4 Tilt movement max 85 So if we start with the first MM 200 its first channel is 1 So we refer to it as having a starter address of 1 The second MM 200 will then have its first channel or starter address at channel 5 The third MM 200 will then have its first channel or starter address at channel 9 and so on Now if you want two MM 200s to be always the same in color movement and so on then you can set both of them to the same address In this
