LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular optimum conditions. For this reason, when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is significantly reduced. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall projection intensity.

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows of two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.
Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together, you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable, please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.
DAP Audio Certified DMX Data Cables
• DAP Audio Basic microphone cable for allround use. bal. XLR/M 3 p. > XLR/F 3 p.
Ordercode FL01150 (1,5m.), FL013 (3m.), FL016 (6m.), FL0110 (10m.), FL0115 (15m.), FL0120 (20m.).

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, next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the first channel with which the Phantom will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 13 channels.
When using multiple Phantoms, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Phantom should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second
Phantom should be 1+13=14 (014); the DMX address of the third Phantom should be 14+13=27 (027), etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Phantom correctly. If two or more Phantoms are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Phantom fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Phantom 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.
If not, the problem may be:
• The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Phantom 50 MKII.
• 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 is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 30 seconds
When no button is pressed for 30 seconds, the display will turn off.
To light up the display, you have to press the MODE, UP, DOWN or ENTER button.
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.

Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Phantom 50 MKII requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the lightoutput very quickly.
The cooling-fans, color-wheel, the gobo wheel, the gobos and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly, with a soft brush.
Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
Replacing the Fuse
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below:
01) Unplug the unit from electric power source.
02) Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Turn the screwdriver to the left, at the same time gently push a bit (Turn and Push). The fuse will come out.
03) Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
04) Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.

Replacing a gobo from the rotating gobo wheel
01) Disconnect mains power supply and set the switch to OFF.
02) Make sure that the gobo which you want to insert has the same size. For the right size, see below.
Fig. 07
Gobo Size
Fig. 08
03) Before removing the top part of the housing, make sure the lens is in the position as shown on the left. The lens position should be on the bottom, symmetrically speaking.
04) Loosen all the four screws on the back of the housing.
05) Gently tilt the head so that the small metal housing slides out easily.
06) Turn the gobo wheel until you reach the gobo which you want to remove.
Ordercode: 40200

Phantom 50 MKII
07) Gently lift up the gobo holder by 10º and then gently pull out the gobo from its position.
Fig. 09
08) Very carefully take the gobo out of the gobo holder with a pair of pliers.
09) Place the new gobo in the gobo holder. Carefully put the pinchcock back, gently press the pinchcock a little bit together. To do it, you can use a pair of pliers.
10) Put the gobo holder back. At first, you will notice some resistance which is caused by the way in which the holder was built.
11) Replace the maintenance caps and fasten all the screws.
Glass Gobo Orientation
Coated glass gobos are inserted with the coating against the rim of the holder (away from the spring).
Textured gobos are inserted with the smooth side against the spring. This provides the best results when combining rotating gobos.
When an object is held up to the coated side, there is no space between the object and its reflection. The back edge of the gobo cannot be seen when looking through the coated side.
When an object is held up to the uncoated side, there is a space between the object and its reflection. The back edge of the gobo can be seen when looking through the uncoated side.

Troubleshooting
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.
If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following steps.
No Light
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Response: Suspect three potential problem areas as: the power supply, the lamp, the fuse.
01) Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The LED. Return the Phantom to your Showtec dealer.
03) The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 29 for replacing the fuse.
04) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
05) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Phantom, as this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
06) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
No Response to DMX
Response: Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card malfunction.
01) Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct.
02) Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power.
Try your DMX control again.
03) Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with other DMX products? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light effect to a qualified technician.

Problem
One or more fixtures do not function at all
Probable cause(s)
No power to the fixture
Fixtures reset correctly, but all respond erratically or not at all to the controller
Fixtures reset correctly, but some respond erratically or not at all to the controller
Shutter closes suddenly
No light or lamp cuts out intermittently
Primary fuse blown
The controller is not connected.
3-pin XLR Out of the controller does not match XLR Out of the first fixture on the link (i.e. signal is reversed)
Solution
• Check if power is switched on and cables are plugged in
• Replace fuse
• Connect controller.
• Install a phase reversing cable between the controller and the first fixture on the link
Poor data quality
• Check data quality. If much lower than 100 percent, the problem may be a bad data link connection, poor quality or broken cables, missing termination plug, or a defective fixture disturbing the link
• Inspect connections and cables.
Bad data link connection
Data link not terminated with 120
Ohm termination plug
•
Correct poor connections. Repair or replace damaged cables
Insert termination plug in output jack of the last fixture on the link
Incorrect addressing of the fixtures • Check address setting
• Bypass one fixture at a time until normal operation is restored:
One of the fixtures is defective and disturbs data transmission on the link
3-pin XLR Out on the fixtures does not match (pins 2 and 3 reversed)
The color wheel, gobo wheel or a gobo has lost its index position and the fixture is resetting the effect
Fixture is too hot unplug both connectors and connect them directly together.
• Have the defective fixture serviced by a qualified technician
• Install a phase-reversing cable between the fixtures or swap pin 2 and 3 in the fixture that behaves erratically
• Contact a technician for servicing if the problem persists
LEDs damaged
The power supply settings do not match local AC voltage and frequency
• Allow the fixture to cool down
• Clean the fan
• Turn up the air conditioning
• Disconnect the fixture and return it to your dealer
• Disconnect fixture. Check settings and correct if necessary
