Lamp Installation

Warning
Remove the power cord before installing the lamp.

Keep projector-head upward (See Figure below.) and loosen three

screws on the cover with appropriate tool then open the top cover
and put it aside.

Loosen and grab the screws on the

shutter cover with appropriate tool.

Wear the gloves and extract the lamp from

the package, loosen the screws on both sides of
the lamp, then slide the lamp paralleled into the
lamp socket. Adjust the round point of the
lamp upward (See Figure.) and fasten the
screws snugly.
Reverse the above-mentioned processes for
the complete installation.

Rigging:

Oby-5 can be set on the flat stage floor directly or use clamp to mount on
any kinds of trusses for fitting the mobility of various venues.

Mount two attached brackets(a) on the bottom (See Figure ), and

collocate the appropriate clamps(b) to rig with trusses. Must use the
safety ropes that can hold the ten times as heavy as the fixture through
the eye bolts(c) on the bottom of the base and trusses; then join the
safety ropes with screw-on carabines(d).

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 Earth

The earth has to be connected! In general, lighting effects should not

be connected to dimming-packs.

Linking

Use 3-pin XLR data cables to link the controller to DMX lighting
equipment.

3-pin XLR connectors are follows:

DMX-output DMX-input
XLR mounting-socket: XLR mounting-plug:

2 1 1:Ground 1 2 1:Ground
2:Signal(-) 2:Signal(-)
3 3
3.Signal(+) 3.Signal(+)

Building a serial DMX-chain:

Connect the DMX output of the first fixture with the DMX input of the
next fixture. And execute all the setups following the above-
mentioned instruction.
Flip the DIP SWITCH #3 of last fixture to ON position for terminal
confirmation.

Instructions for gobo replacement
DANGER!
! Install the gobos with the device switched
off only. Unplug from mains before!

Please choose the suitable gobo dimensions of this fixture. (Appendix A)

Rotating GOBO wheel

1.Open the top cover (*Refer to the steps of lamp installation.), and
loosen the screws with appropriate tools then extract A . (See the
figures below.)

2.Turn the open (circle) of the GOBO wheel to

"U" shape gap in order to extract the rotating
GOBO easily.

3.Push GOBO & the spring ring out with the

fingers carefully. (*Caution: Avoid falling
the spring ring into the fixture.)

4.Insert the new GOBO and the spring ring (*Press the spring ring
tight with the appropriate tools in order to keep GOBO compact),
put A back and screw up the top cover.
Fixed GOBO wheel

The instructions are the same as changing the rotating GOBO; only
winkle the spring ring out with appropriate flat screw driver before
push GOBO out.

Maintenance

Refer maintenance to qualified technicians. Please disconnect power

and signal wire before maintaining fixtures.

In order to preserve OBY-5 in good condition, keep the routine

maintenance by following date.

The Steps are as follows:

Take the filter out (See Figure.) and clean it every two weeks.

Filter
The dichroic colour-filters, the metal gobo-wheel, the internal lenses
and cooling fans should be cleaned with soft brush monthly.

The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least half-yearly using

a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet.
Caution: Be careful not to damage the interior mechanical structures
or circuits when using the air-jet.

To ensure a proper function and smooth rotation of the gobo-wheel,

we recommend lubrication in six-month intervals.
Caution: Avoid the damage of interior structures when fixtures
rotated, do not use excess lubrication.

Due to emit fog frequently, the optical lens and gobos would be oily;
thus luminosity would be weak. We recommend using moist cloth or a
trace of detergents to wipe them every two weeks. (Prohibit using the
detergents consisted of alcohol and solvents.)

Replacing the Fuse

If the fixture does not function, that may be the fuse was burned out. It
may be time to replace the fuse of same type and specification for
eliminating this fault.

Remove the electric power and flip the switch to " off " position before
replacing the fuse.

Replace the fuse as follows:

Step 1: Unscrew the screw of the fuse holder on the housing

counterclockwise with appropriate tools.

Step 2: Remove the broken fuse and then replace the new fuse.

Step 3: Reinsert and tighten the screw on the fuse-holder.

Step 4: Turn the power on for test.

Please contact with the dealer if the fixture still cannot work or the fuse
burns out again.
