2. Safety Instructions

• Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and the dealer

will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.

• A qualified technician should install and service this device.

• Do not switch the device on immediately after it has been exposed to changes in temperature. Protect the device

against damage by leaving it switched off until it has reached room temperature.

• This device falls under protection class I. It is therefore essential that the device be earthed. Have a qualified

person carry out the electric connection.

• Make sure that the available voltage does not exceed the voltage stated in the specifications of this manual.

• Do not crimp the power cord and protect it against damage. Have an authorised dealer replace it if necessary.

• Disconnect the device from the mains to clean it or when it is not in use. Handle the power cord by the plug only.

• There may be some smoke or a particular smell when the device is activated for the first time. This is normal and

any smoke or smell will gradually disappear.

• Do not look directly at the light source as sensitive people may go into epileptic seizure if they do.

• Note that damage caused by user modifications to the device are not covered by the warranty.

• Keep the device away from children and unauthorised users.

3. General Guidelines

• This device is designed for professional use on stage, in discos, theatres, etc. The VDP250SC6 should only be

used indoors with an alternating current of max. 230VAC / 50Hz.

• Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation: regular operation breaks will prolong their lives.

Be very careful during the installation: touching live wires can cause life-threatening electroshocks.

Do not touch the device during operation as the housing heats up.

Keep this device away from rain and moisture.

Unplug the mains lead before opening the housing.

• Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.

• Select a location where the device is protected against extreme heat (see “Technical Specifications”), dust and

moisture. Respect a minimum distance of 0.5m between the device’s light output and any illuminated surface.

• Use an appropriate safety cable to fix the device (e.g. VDLSC7 or VDLSC8).

• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow operation by unqualified

people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to unprofessional use of the device.

• Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.

• All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons.

• Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns, electroshocks, lamp

explosion, crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.

4. Installation

a) Lamps

• Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.

• Let a lamp cool down before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach 700°C during operation.

• When handling a halogen lamp, do not touch it with your bare hands. Use a cloth to insert or remove it.

• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage. They get hotter than this device was designed for.

• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same type (see “Technical Specifications”):

1. Unscrew the 4 screws at the bottom with the included hex screwdriver.

2. Gently remove the lower half of the housing.

3. Remove the old lamp and insert the new one.

4. Carefully reposition the lower half of the housing.

5. Fasten the 4 screws with the included hex screwdriver.

Remark: Do not operate the device when the cover is open.

b) Fuse

• Only fit or replace a fuse when the device is unplugged from the mains.

• If the lamp burns out, chances are you will need to replace the fuse as well.

• Replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the same type and rating (see “Technical Specifications”):

1. Unscrew the fuse holder cap at the back, below the power connector.

2. Remove the old fuse and install a new one.

3. Replace the fuse holder cap in the housing.

c) Mounting the Device

• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.

• The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for

one hour without deformation.

• The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.

• Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified technician

check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.

• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.

• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating work load limits, determining the installation

material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the

device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.

• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.

• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5m radius of the device.

• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.

• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Don’t connect it to a dimming pack.

• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.

5. Use

Switch the device on and off by means of the power plug. Do not operate the device continuously.

The device has 4 operation modes:

Single Mode

The device reacts to the music through the built-in microphone. All DIP switches should be placed in the OFF-

position.

Synchronous Mode (Music Control)

You can link several VDP250SC6's for synchronous movement to the music. The movements are steered by the

master unit.

Select a unique master device by placing DIP switch 10 in the ON-position. The built-in microphone of the master

device will now drive all slave units. Put DIP switches 1and 11 in the ON-position to use the other devices as slaves

and connect master and slaves with the supplied DMX cable.

When in this mode, the built-in microphone of the master device controls all the interconnected devices. The beams

of all devices will change colours rhythmically and synchronously.

Program Mode (Internal Mode)

You can link several VDP250SC6's and let them function with the internal program. The movements are steered by

the master unit.

Select a unique master device by placing DIP switches 9 and 10 in the ON-position. Put DIP switches 1and 11 in the

ON-position to use the other devices as slaves and connect master and slaves with the supplied DMX cable.

DMX mode

All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals. This digital

start address is the channel number from which the device “listens” to the digital commands from the DMX controller.

The start address/channel number is set by means of the DIP switches located at the back of the device.

You can set the same start address for a whole group of devices or enter an individual one for every device.

When using one single address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one particular channel. In other

words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If you set different addresses,

each device will “listen” to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the

device in question.

In the case of the VDP250SC6, a 6-channel device, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1, the

second unit to 7 (1 + 6), the third unit to 13 (7 + 6), and so on. The DMX start address is defined by the first 9 DIP

switches. The encoding is binary: DIP switch 1 has value 1, switch 2 has value 2, switch 3 is 4, switch 4 is 8, etc.

For example, if the start address were 95, the settings would be 111110100 (1+2+4+8+16+0+64+0+0=95).

The last DIP switch (10) is a selector. In the ON position, the device is music-controlled by means of the built-in

microphone. In the OFF position, the device is DMX-controlled.

The LED next to the DIP switches indicates the status of the DMX signal: if it’s flashing there’s a DMX signal; if it’s off

there’s no DMX signal.

Channel configuration

CHANNEL 1: 14 colours + white + shutter

CHANNEL 2: 14 gobos + white

VDP250SC6 5 VELLEMAN
