Fire prevention:

safety information

1. CF ZOOM AL utilises a Philips Fabolux 500W 55v; the use of any alternative lamp is not recommended and will null and void the fixture’s warranty.

2. Never locate the fixture on any flammable surface.

3. Minimum distance from flammable materials: 0,5 m.

4. Minimum distance from the closest illuminable surface: 2 m.

5. Replace any blown or damaged fuses only with those of identical values. Refer to the schematic diagram if there is any doubt.

6. Connect the projector to mains power via a thermal magnetic circuit breaker.

Prevention of electric shock:

1. High voltage is present in the internals of the unit. Isolate the projector from mains supply prior to performing any function which involves touching the internals of the unit, including lamp replacement.

2. For mains connection, adhere strictly to the guidelines outlined in section 7 of this manual.

3. The level of technology inherent in the CF ZOOM AL requires the use of specialised personnel for all service applications; refer all work to your authorised coe-

mar service centre.

4. A good earth connection is essential for proper functioning of the projector.

Never operate the unit without proper earth connection.

5. The fixture should never be located in an exposed position, or in areas of extreme humidity. A steady supply of circulating air is essential.

Safety:

1. The projector should alwasy be installed with bolts, clamps, and other fixings which are suitably rated to support te weight of the unit.

2. Always use a secondary safety chaing of a suitable rating to sustain the weight of the unit in case of the failure of the primary fixing point.

3. The external surface of the unit, at various points, may exceed 150°C. Never handle the unit until at least 10 minutes have elapsed since the lamp was turned off.

4. Always replace the lamp if any phusical damage is evident.

5. Never install the fixture in an enclosed area lacking sufficient air flow; the ambient temperature should not exceed 35°C.

6. A hot lamp may explode. always wait for at least 10 minutes to elapse after the unit has been turned off prior to attempting to replace the lamp.

Always wear suitable hand protection when handling the lamp.

4. Lamp: Installation and replacement

CF ZOOM AL utilises a Philips Fabolux 500W 55V lamp with a

GX 9,5 lampbase

The lamp is available from your authorised coemar sales agent: coemar cod.

105071 wattage luminous flux colour temperature base approximate life

500 W

11.880lm

3200° K

GX 9,5

200 hours

Attention

Turn off the power prior to opening up the unit.

The fixture’s internal temperature can reach 250° C after 5 minutes, with a maximum peak of 350° C; ensure that the lamp is cold prior to attempting removal. The fixture should be allowed to stand and cool for 10 minutes prior to its removal.

The lamp is part of the tungsten halogen family of incandescent lamps and must be handled with great care. The lamp operates at high temperature, and the slight risk of explosion of the lamp exists if operated over its recommended life of 200 hours.

We recommend, therefore, that the lamp be replaced within the manufacturer’s specified lamp life.

mounting the lamp

1) Using a 3mm hex (Allen) key, remove the two hex bolts (A) which affix the lamp assembly to the rear of the projector.

2) Remove the lamp assembly (B).

3) Locate the lampholder (C)

4) The GX 9,5 lampholder is symmetrical in construction; the lamp used is manufactured from quartz glass and should be handled with care; always adhere to the instructions supplied in the lamp’s packaging. Never touch the glass directly, use the tissue provided in the lamp’s packaging.

Insert the lamp (D) into the lampholder (C). DO NOT USE UNDUE FORCE. In case of difficulty, re-read the instructions and repeat the procedure.

5) Replace the lamp assembly (B) into its original position and replace and tighten the two screws (A) which were previously removed.

Attention: we recommend that the lamp be realigned in the optical train of the unit to avoid overheating of the dichroic filters and other internal components of the unit. refer to section 13 for instructions about this procedure.

Incorrect voltage selection will detrimentally affect the operation of the projector.Under no circumstance should you move the cables numbered 22,16 and 13.

The operating voltage, as distinct from the input voltage, does not need to be altered.

6. Mounting the unit

mounting

The CF ZOOM AL may be either floor or ceiling mounted.

The structure from which the unit is hung should be of sufficient rating to hold the weight of the unit, as should any clamps used to hang the unit.

The structure should also be sufficiently rigid so as not to move or shake whilst the

CF ZOOM AL moves during its operation.

The mounting holes in the base of the unit allow it to be mounted at various angles to the mounting truss and to trusses of various dimensions.

The following is a diagram outlining the base of the CF ZOOM AL.

455mm n

°

6 asole 72x12 mm r= 6 mm

Note that in order to take advantage of the full articulated movement of the projector, it should be installed with the label marked ” Lato frontale/ Front” facing towards the main item to be illuminated; in this manner the “0” or “home” position of the CF

ZOOM AL will be in the most efficient position.

protection against liquids

The projector contains electric and electronic components that must not come into contact with water, oil, or any other liquid.

movement

The projector has a movement of 370° in the base and 280° in the yoke; DO NOT place any obstructions in the path of the projector’s movement.

safety chain

The use of a safety chain (cod. 069) - fixed to the CF ZOOM AL and to the primary suspension point, is highly recommended to protect against accidental failure, however unlikely, of the primary suspension point.

If using an after-market safety chain not manufactured by coemar, ensure that it is of sufficient rating to hold the weight of the fixture.

risk of fire

Each fixture produces heat and must be installed in a well-ventilated position. The minimum recommended distance from flammable material is: 0.5m. Minimum distance from the object being illuminated is: 2 m.

Mains connection

cabling

The mains cable provided is thermally resistant, complying to the most recent international standards. It meets or exceeds the VDE and IEC norms, IEC 331,

IEC 332 3C,CEI 20 35.

NB: In case of cable replacement, similar cable with comparable thermal resistant qualities must be used exclusivelly (cable 3x1.5 ø external 10 mm, rated 300/500V, tested to 2KV, operating temperature -40° +180°, coemar cod. CV5309).

mains connection

The CF ZOOM AL can operate at voltages from 208V-230V-240V at 50 or 60Hz

(operating voltage and frequency can be selected as described in section 5 of this manual).

Prior to connecting the unit to your mains supply, ensure that the model in your possession correctly matches the mains supply available to you.

For connection purposes, ensure your plug is of a suitable rating: 3,5 amps.

If the led is off, the projector is not receiving signal. check the cabling and the functioning of the controller.

10. DMX addressing

Each CF ZOOM AL utilises 13 channels of DMX 512 signal for complete control.

To ensure that each projector accesses the correct signal, it is necessary to correctly address each fixture. Any number between 1 and 495 can be generated via the multifunction panel of the CF ZOOM AL.

This procedure myst be carried out on every CF ZOOM AL. being used

When powered up initially, each projector will show A001 which indicates DMX

address 1; a projector thus addressed will respond to commands on channels 1 to

13 from the DMX 512 controller. A second projector should be addressed as

14, a third as 27 and so on until the final CF ZOOM AL has been addressed.

Altering DMX addresses

1) Press the + or – button until the display shows the DMX required, the characters in the display panel will flash to indicate that the selection is not stored in memory.


2) Press the enter button to confirm your selection; the display will stop flashing and the projector will now respond to the new DMX address.

3) To better understand the function of each channel, we refer you to section 12

“Control channel functions from a DMX 512 controller”.

Important Note: Keeping the + or – button pressed will cause the display to alter at increased speed, allowing a faster selection to be effected.

By pressing the – button, you may inadvertently select a DMX address which is not being communicated to the fixture by the controller, for example 500. If this is the case, the display will slow the data reception, (since it does not exist), and you will note that it is slow to respond to your commands (for example altering an address or requesting or confirming a reset). You may solve this problem by either sengin data to this address, or by altering the incorrect DMX setting of the CF ZOOM AL in question.

11. Display panel functions

The display panel at the rear of the CF ZOOM AL is used to display and set function information and various parameters.

13. Aligning the lamp in

Aligning the lamp in the optical system is achieved via the 2 adjusters at the rear

lamp in the optical

of the projector.

system

This procedure should be undertaken to properly align the lamp in the optical system and to avoid the possible overheating of the internal components due to the incorrect focusing of the beam onto components not intended to be exposed to this.

alignment procedure

Alignment is effected via the 2 adjusters A and B operating in conjunction with each other. The lamp should be on and not dimmed, black-out fully open, and no colour filters inserted.

If the lamp is not correctly aligned, a hot-spot will be noticeable. This is a function of the lamp’s positioning. Use the two adjusters (A and B) to bring the hot-spot to the centre of the beam and to flatten the beam to maximum uniformity.

vertical adjustment

Adjuster (B) acts on a lever and spring assembly to position the lamp via a vertical movement within the reflector; rotate it until correct positioning is achieved.

horizontal adjustment

Adjuster (A) acts on a lever and spring assembly to position the lamp via a horizontal movement within the reflector; rotate it until correct positioning is achieved.

15. Replacing dichroic

Dichroic filters on the colour wheel may be replaced at will; note that any

filters

replacements must be Ø 45mm, thickness 1.1 mm and made from tempax high temperature-resistant glass.

Attention

Disconnect mains power prior to attempting any replacement procedure.

replacing a dichroic filter

1) Remove the inspection lid A of the projector via the two clips A as shown below.

2) Locate the dichroic colour wheel

3) Manually rotate the colour wheel until you locate the colour you wish to replace.

4) Rotate the colour wheel until you reach the empty slot.

5) Remove the dichroic filter by sliding the filter gently up and towards the central retaining clips, thus releasing it from the two clips on the outer edge of the wheel.

6) Slide out the filter.

7) Insert the new colour filter by first sliding it under the central retaining clip, then sliding it back under the outer clips, ensuring that it is seated correctly in the colour wheel.

8) Replace the CF ZOOM AL inspection lid.

16. Automatic internal

The CF ZOOM AL has several automatic functions and features which at first glance

functions

may not be noticed. However, they serve to add functionality to the projector, and to assist in extending the serviceabilty of the unit.

thermal protection

A thermal sensor in the body of the fixture protects it against overheating.

The thermal sensor operates by removing voltage to the lamp if the ambient temperature rises above a preset maximum due to either less than ideal air circulation around the fixture or in the event of cooling fan failure.

automatic realignment

An internal 4 point encoder system allows the CF ZOOM AL to return to its correct position in case the unit is accidentally knocked out of alignment whilst operating.

This is particularly useful if the projector is to be mounted on the floor in a position where the performer or artist may accidentally bump the unit.

NOTE: this facility may be deactivated if desired (see section 11 ‘Display panel functions’).

17. Maintenance

Whilst every possible precaution has been taken to ensure the trouble-free operation of your CF ZOOM AL, the following periodic maintenance is highly recommended.

Attention

Disconnect mains power prior to opening the inspection lid

Opening the projector:

The front inspection lid allows complete access to the projector’s internals.

For more detailed access to the unit remove the 4 screws (C), disconnect all 8 motor, sensor and thermal contacts.

After this simple procedure, the whole motor assembly may be totally removed.

fuse replacement

Fuse replacement

Locate the fuse, which protects the lamp and electronics, in the base of the CF

ZOOM AL.

Using a multimeter, test the condition of the fuse, replacing it with one of equivalent type if necessary.

periodic cleaning lenses and reflectors

Even a fine layer of dust can reduce the luminous output substantially. Regularly clean all lenses and the reflector using a soft cotton cloth, dampened with a specialist lens cleaning solution. fans and air passages

The fans and air passages must be cleaned approximately every 6 weeks; the period for this periodic cleaning will depend, of course, upon the conditions in which the projector is operating. Suitable instruments for performing this type of maintenance are a brush and a common vacuum cleaner or an air compressor.

periodic maintenance lamp

The lamp should be replaced if there is any observable damage or deformation due to heat. This will avoid the danger of the lamp exploding.

mechanicals

Periodically check all mechanical devices for wear and tear; gears, guides, belts, etc., replacing them if necessary. Periodically check the lubrication of all components, particularly the parts subject to high temperatures. If necessary, lubricate with suitable lubricant, available from your coemar distributor.

electrical components

Check all electrical components for correct earthing and proper attachment of all connectors, refastening if necessary.

18. Electronic alignment

The display panel at the rear of the CF ZOOM AL allows for the electronic alignment

of motors

of the projector’s motors. This procedure is performed by coemar at the factory. It may be useful to perform this procedure in the case of internal components being replaced.

Altering the factory settings may redically alter the functioning of the projector.
