DISCHARGE LAMP WARNING: This fixture is fitted with a discharge  
lamp, which is highly susceptible to damage if improperly handled.  
Never touch the lamp with your bare hands, as the oil from your hands  
will shorten lamp life. Also, never move the fixture until the lamps have  
had ample time to cool. Remember, lamps are not covered under  
warranty conditions.  
This fixture emits intense UV radiation, which is harmful to the eyes and skin. The intense  
luminance of the lamp can cause severe damage to the retina. Never operate this fixture  
with the protective covers removed, these covers have been specially designed to shield  
against UV radiation.  
Epileptic Warning: Those suffering from epilepsy should avoid looking directly into the  
lamp at all times.  
Avoid switching the fixture on and off repeatedly in short intervals, as this will reduce lamp  
life and intensity.  
To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these lamps use a gas sealed in  
a high-pressure environment to emit a brilliant output. Due to the high pressure involved  
with the construction of the lamp, the lamp may explode during prolonged extensive use.  
This risk is increased with age; added care is encouraged when dealing with older lamps.  
Thus, lamp should always be replaced at the end of their recommended duty cycle.

5. LAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
Installing or replacing the lamp  
Only install the lamp with the device unplugged from the mains.  
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed.  
Before replacing the lamp be sure the unit has ample time to cool, to avoid injury to yourself  
never touch the lamp when it is hot.  
During the installation of halogen lamps do not touch the glass bulbs bare handed. Always  
use a cloth to handle the lamps during insertion and removal.

Focus Spot 250R™  
Lamp Optimization  
The lamp orientation and optimization must be adjusted after every lamp change. This  
procedure centers the lamp in the reflector. Proper optimization will increase lamp life and  
ensure a bright crisp output. Improper optimization may add a yellow tint to the lamp output  
and reduce intensity. The minimum deviation amount is 1.0mm. Running the fixture within a  
lower deviation can cause damage to the lamp and/or lens.  
The Focus Spot 250R™ lamp holder is aligned at the factory. However, due to slight  
imperfections in all lamps, fine adjustments will improve light performance. Please follow  
the procedure below for proper lamp optimization:  
1. Using either a DMX controller or the control panel on the unit, strike the lamp and  
focus the light on a flat surface (beam open, white, no gobo, no effects).  
2. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment screws.  
Turn one screw at a time to drag the hot-spot diagonally across the projected image.  
If you cannot detect a hot-spot, adjust the lamp until the light is even.  
3. To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws clockwise 1/4-turn  
at a time until the light is evenly distributed.  
4. If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low,  
the lamp is too far back in the reflector. "Push” the lamp out by turning each the  
adjustment screws ("1, 2, 3”) counterclockwise _-turn until the light is bright and  
evenly distributed.  
Do not operate this device with open cover  
Please remember that a MSD-250/2 lamp is not a hot-restrike lamp therefore, you must  
wait approximately 15 minutes after having turned the lamp off before you can attempt to  
strike the lamp once again.

6. Mounting and Installation  
Mounting  
The FOCUS SPOT 250R™ is fully operational in three different mounting positions,  
hanging upside-down from a ceiling, side mounted, or set on a flat level surface (see  
illustration below). Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m away from any flammable  
materials (decoration etc.). Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety  
measure to prevent accidental damage in the event of a clamp failure (see section “b” on  
the next page).  
Refer to regulations BGV C1  
(formerly VBG 70 ) and DIN  
VDE0711-217 for proper installation in Europe  
To ensure proper installation, only qualified staff should  
attempt installation.  
Mounting points  
The FOCUS SPOT 250R™ has been designed to hold multiple clamps on the bottom of the  
unit in several different orientations. Always use an appropriately rated clamp to mount this  
fixture to truss. Refer to the printed instructions on the bottom of the fixture for proper clamp

installation. Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.  
a) Cam lock System: This system allows a quick and efficient means to  
secure a clamp to the unit. To secure a clamp to the unit, attach a clamp  
that is rated to handle the weight of the unit to your cam lock. After a clamp  
has been attached to the cam lock, attach the cam lock to the designated  
position on the bottom of your unit. Lock the cam lock into position by  
turning the wing nuts 90°.  
90°  
b) Be sure to always use two cam locks mounted to the bottom of unit to  
ensure safe truss mounting.  
Secure the FOCUS SPOT 250R™  
Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your FOCUS SPOT 250R™ always  
be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable. The fixture provides a built-in  
rigging point for a safety cable on the underside of the fixture, be sure to use this  
point and never secure a safety cable to a carrying handle.

7. Understanding DMX  
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation):  
Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data  
input and data output (see figure below). If you are constructing your own cables be  
sure to use two conductor shielded digital cable rated at a 120 ohms (this cable can  
be purchased at almost all professional sound and lighting stores). Your cables should  
be made with a male and female 3-pin XLR connector on either end of the cable.  
Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use the ground  
lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug  
or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding  
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.  
DMX-512 control connection  
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the  
other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head (Please refer to the diagram  
below.). You can chain multiple moving heads together through serial linking. The cable  
needed should be two conductor, shielded cable with XLR input and output connectors.  
Always be sure daisy chain your in and out data connections, never split or “Y” your DMX  
connections unless you are using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto  
Branch 4™ or DMX Branch/4™.

Focus Spot 250R™  
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator  
When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last fixture to  
avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor that is connected  
between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This fixture is  
inserted in the female XLR connector of the last fixture in your daisy chain to terminate the  
line. Using a cable terminator (Elation part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities  
of erratic behavior.  
CONTROLLER  
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA  
transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX  
line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must  
be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The following chart  
details a proper cable conversion.

Focus Spot 250R™  
Fixture DMX address;  
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so the  
correct fixture responds to the correct control signal. This digital starting address is the  
channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent  
out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by  
setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the base of the device.  
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or make  
different address for each fixture individually. Be advised that setting all you fixtures to the  
same DMX address will subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other  
words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.  
If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start to “listen” to the  
channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of  
each unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only the selected  
fixture.  
In the case of the Focus Spot 250R™, which is a 11 channel fixture, you should set the  
starting address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 12 (11 + 1), the third to 23 (12 + 11),  
and so on.  
Note:  
After switching on, the Focus Spot 250R™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data  
signal is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display will show  
"A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a DMX

signal the display will flash "A.XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address).  
If your fixture is connected to a DMX controller and the display is flashing (not receiving a  
DMX signal), please check the following:  
- The 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected or is  
not inserted completely into the DMX input jack.  
- The DMX controller is switched off or defective.  
- The DMX cable or connector is defective.

10.ERROR CODES:  
When power is applied, the unit will automatically enter a “reset/test” mode. This mode  
brings all the internal motors to a home position. If there is an internal problem with one or  
more of the motors an error code will flash in the display in the form of “XXer” were as XX  
will represent a function number. For example, when the display shows “02Er,” it means  
there is some type of error with the channel 2 motor. If there are multiple errors during the  
start-up process they will all flash in the display. For example: if the fixtures has errors on  
channel 1, channel 2, and channel 5 all at the same time, you will see the error message  
“01Er”, “02Er,” and ”05Er” flash repeated 5 times.  
If an error does occur during the initial start-up procedure the fixture will self-generate a  
second reset signal and try to realign all the motors and correct the errors, if the error  
persist after a second attempt a third attempt will be made.  
If after a third attempt all the errors have not been corrected the fixture will make the  
following determinations: 1) 3 or more errors - The fixture cannot function properly with  
three or more errors therefore the fixture will place itself in a stand-by mode until  
subsequent repairs can be made. 2) Less than 3 errors - The fixture has less than 3 errors,  
therefore most other functions will work properly. The fixture will attempt to operate  
normally until the errors can be correct by a technician. The errors in question will remain  
flashing in the display as a reminder of internal errors.  
01Er – PAN movement error:  
The yoke is not located in the default position after start-up or after a reset command.  
This message will appear after a fixture reset if the pan-yoke’s magnetic-indexing circuit  
malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure  
(defective motor or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB).  
03Er – TILT movement error:  
The head is not located in the default tilt position after start-up or after a reset command.  
This message will appear after a fixture reset if the tilt magnetic-indexing circuit  
malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure  
(defective motor or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB).

05Er - Color-wheel error:  
The color wheel is not located in the default position after start-up or after a reset  
command.  
This message will appear after a fixture reset if the color wheel’s magnetic-indexing circuit  
malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure  
(defective motor or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB).  
06Er - Rotating gobo-wheel error:  
The gobo-wheel is not located in the default position after start-up or after a reset  
command.  
This message will appear after a fixture reset if the gobo wheel’s magnetic-indexing circuit  
malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure  
(defective motor or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB).  
07Er - Rotating gobo indexing error:  
The gobo is not located in the default position after start-up or after a reset command.  
This message will appear after a fixture reset if the gobo positioning magnetic-indexing  
circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet is missing) or there is a stepper motor failure  
(defective motor or a defective motor IC drive on the main PCB).
