Installation

Installing the Lamp

The Showtec Polarscan uses the MSD 250 (ordercode 80920P / 80920O / 80933O / 82603 / 80935)

reflectorbulb as manufactured by all popular manufacturers. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.

Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product

specification label for information.

Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.

The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.

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 :

1. Loosen the 2 golden screws on the front.

2. Remove the cover and gently pull out the lamp socket. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp

bulb glass. Oil on hands shortens the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off the glass with a

clean, lint-free towel and rubbing alcohol.)

3. Hold the lamp socket with one hand. Insert the lamp pins into the small holes in the lamp socket.

4. Push the lamp and the socket in to the lamp holder.

5. Put the cover back and fasten all the screws snugly.

Set Up and Operation

Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your preferred operation mode.

Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification

voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.

One Polarscan

1. Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.

2. Plug one end of the electric mains power cord into the IEC socket on the unit.

Then plug the other end of the cord into a proper electric power supply socket.

Multiple Polarscans

1. Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.

2. Use a 3-p XLR cable to connect the Polarscans and other devices.

The pins:

1. Earth

2. Signal -

3. Signal +

3. Link the units as shown in (figure 3), Connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to

the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units.

4. Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's IEC socket, then plug the other

end of the mains power cord into proper electric power supply sockets, starting with the first unit. Do not

supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly.

Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure

proper transmission on the DMX data link.

DMX Protocol

The Polarscan can be operated with a controller in control mode or without the controller in stand-alone

mode.

Control Panel

When the indicator light is on, means the Polarscan is working

Fig. 4

B. Down Button

C. Up Button

Control Mode

The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.

The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,

the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the

first channel from which the Polarscan will respond to the controller.

Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 6channels.

When using multiple Polarscans, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.

Therefore, the DMX address of the first Polarscan should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second

Polarscan should be 1+6=7 (007); the DMX address of the third Polarscan should be 7+6=13(013), etc.

Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Polarscan correctly.

If two or more Polarscans are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’ (menu )

Controlling:

After having addressed all Polarscan fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.

Note: After switching on, the Polarscan will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If

there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED “ on the control panel will not flash.

The problem may be:

- The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Polarscan.

- The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are

swapped in the input connector.

Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure

proper transmission on the DMX data link.
