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. Extreme  
caution should be used when operated this or any fixture fitted with a gas discharge lamp.  
Never open this fixture while in use!  
During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the interior of  
the fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the  
casing burning off from the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over  
time.  
This device falls under protection-class 1. Therefore it is essential that the device be  
grounded properly.  
All electrical connections must performed by qualified personal.  
Be sure the available voltage matches the voltage requirements of the unit.

5. LAMP INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
For a proper and safe lamp change, please read this chapter carefully and follow all  
instructions.  
Safety Regulations  
Disconnect the unit’s main power supply.  
Allow the unit to cool for at least 20 minutes before attempting any type of service.  
Before you put the Design Spot 575E™ into operation be sure all covers have been  
replaced, otherwise you risk damage to the retina and expose to UV radiation!  
Replace the lamp with an approved replacement type. Be sure to follow all the lamp  
handleing procedures included with your new lamp. Never handle the new lamp  
with your bare hands, the oils from your skin may damage the lamp. Always replace  
with the lamp with a lamp that meets the orginal lamp specification, failure to do so  
may damage the unit and will void your manufactures warranty.  
Installation Procedure:  
1. Set the fixture on a flat surface and remove the four screws labeled “A” “B,” “C,” and  
“D” found on the back plate of the head assembly.  
2. Gently pull out the lamp/socket assembly to access the lamp.  
3. Gently remove the old lamp by grasping it by metal ends.  
4. Insert the new lamp securely, locking the lamp in place as illustrated in the diagram  
on the next page. Orientate the lamp filler tube towards the backside of the reflector.  
Before reassembling the unit, be sure the new lamp is securely seated in the lamp  
socket. Always be sure to only use specified lamp types! (MSR 575 SA/2 DE lamp or  
equivalent).

NO  
5. Once the lamp has been inserted into the socket, gently slide the socket assembly  
back into place and secure with the four retaining screws.  
6. Reset the lamp run time in the system menu.  
7. Always be sure to optimize the lamp after lamp replacement.  
Do not operate this device with open cover  
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, and even 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 Design Spot 575E™ 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 (see “SPOT” in the  
fixture menu on page 33), strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface (beam  
open, white, no gobo, no effect).  
2. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment screws  
labeled 1, 2, and 3 as illustrated on the next page. 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.

Design Spot 575E™  
3. To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws clockwise a 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 of the  
adjustment screws ("1, 2, 3”) counterclockwise turn until the light is bright and evenly  
distributed.  
Please remember that a MSR 575 SA/2 DE lamp is not a hot-restrike lamp therefore, you  
must wait approximately 15 minutes before you can attempt to strike the lamp once it has  
been turned off.

6. MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION  
Cautions:  
For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or in  
areas were the fixture might be reached by unauthorized personal.  
Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a  
minimum point load of 10 times the device’s weight.  
Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an  
appropriate safety cable.  
Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing, or servicing the fixture.  
Before taking into operation for the first time,  
the installation has to be approved by an expert.  
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly  
inflammable material within a distance of min. 0,5m  
Mounting  
The DESIGN SPOT 575E™ is fully operational in two different mounting positions, hanging  
upside-down from a ceiling, or set on a flat level surface (see illustration on next page). 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 and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.  
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.

Design Spot 575E™  
Mounting points  
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating  
working load limits, a fine knowledge of the installation material being used, and periodic  
safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do  
not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.  
CAUTION!  
Be sure all electrical connections are performed by a qualified  
electrician.  
Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before connecting the main  
power cord to the appropriate wall outlet.  
Clamp Mounting  
The Design Spot 575E™ provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that integrates the  
hanging yoke as well as the safety cable rigging point in one unit (see the illustration below).  
When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp to the  
hanging yoke using a M10 screw fitted through the center hole of the hanging yoke. As an

added safety measure be sure to attached at least one properly rated safety cable to the  
fixture using on of the safety cable rigging point integrated in the bracket assembly  
Securing the DESIGN SPOT 575E™  
Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your Design Spot 575E™ 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 hanging bracket as illustrated above. Be sure to only use the designated  
rigging point for the safety cable and never secure a safety cable to a carrying handle.

7.UNDERSTANDING DMX  
DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by most  
lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures  
and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions from the controller to the  
fixture. DMX data is sent out as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA  
“IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have  
a DATA “OUT” terminals). DMX Linking: DMX is a language allowing all makes and models  
of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long  
as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data  
transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible.  
The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX  
addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in  
a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. Therefore, the first  
fixture controlled by the controller could be the last fixture in the chain. When a fixture is  
assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address  
1 to that fixture, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.  
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation): The  
Design Spot 575E™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Design Spot 575E™ is a  
24 channel DMX fixture. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the  
LCD menu. Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR  
connector for data input and data output (Figure below is of a 3-Pin XLR connector). If you  
are making your own cables, be sure to use standard two conductor shielded cable (This  
cable may be purchased from your Elation dealer or at most professional lighting retailers).  
Your cables should be made with a male and female XLR connector on either end of the  
cable. Also, remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split. unless you  
are using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto Branch 4™ or DMX  
Branch/4™.  
©Elation Professional®  
16  
Design Spot 575E™

Design Spot 575E™  
Be sure to follow the pin configuration chart below 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. 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™.  
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

Design Spot 575E™  
a cable terminator (Elation part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic  
behavior.  
Fixture DMX addressing;  
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX controller, 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 head of the fixture.  
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different  
address for each individual fixture. 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 fixture. That means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the selected  
fixture.  
In the case of the Design Spot 575E™, which is a 24 channel fixture, you should set the  
starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 25 (24 + 1), the third unit to 49  
(24 + 25), and so on.  
Note: During start-up the Design Spot 575E™ 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

Design Spot 575E™  
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.  
A DMX terminator has been inserted into the last fixture in your DMX chain.

10.OPERATION  
Operating Modes: The Power Spot 700CMY™ can operate in three different modes.  
This next section will detail the differences in the operating modes.  
• Stand alone mode - The fixture will react to sound, chasing through the built-in programs.  
• Master/Slave mode - You can daisy chain up to 16 fixtures together to get a  
synchronized light show without the need of an external controller. The fixtures will react to  
sound chasing to synchronized light show.  
• DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits  
with a standard DMX-512 controller such as the Elation® Show Designer 2.  
10.1 Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512  
controller such as the Elation® DMX Operator II™ or Elation® Show Designer 2™ to  
control head movement, the color wheel, the shutter (strobe), and all other DMX traits.  
A DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual  
needs. The Power Spot 700CMY™ uses 16 DMX channels. See page 27 for detailed  
description of the DMX traits.To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up  
procedures on pages 13-15 as well as the set-up specifications that are included with  
your DMX controller. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture  
traits.This will allow you to create your own programs.  
9.1.1 Follow the instruction on page 18 to set the DMX address.  
9.2.2 For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) be sure to use a terminator on the last  
fixture.  
9.2.3 For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX  
controller.  
9.2Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active): This mode allows a single fixture to run to  
the beat of the music. Only use this mode when running a single fixture, or when  
running several fixtures as individuals.  
9.2.1 Mount your fixture in a secure and stable manner.

Design Spot 575E™  
9.2.2 Access the main menu and select the AUDI function, this will give you access to  
the audio submenu. See page 16 for the menu breakdown.  
9.2.3 In the audio submenu choose the audio chase speed, fast or slow. Slow (ASLW)  
will trigger the chase sequence to every two beats, while fast (AFST) will trigger the  
chase impulse every beat. See page 16 for more details.  
9.2.4 Be sure the Master (MSTR) function is switched “ON,“ and the SVPT function is  
switched “OFF.“  
9.2.5 Choose your room size. The size function allows you to choose a the approximate  
size of the room (NORM, BIG, MIDL, SMAL). The built-in programs will  
automatically adjust to your slection to optimize light output for your room.  
9.2.6 Use the sound sensitivity knob on the side control panel to make the unit more or  
less sensative to sound. Turning the knob in clockwise direction will make the unit  
more sensetive to sound, while turning the knob counter-clockwise will make the  
unit less sensetive to sound. Note: This unit will react to the low frequiencies of a  
sound source, tapping on the fixture or high pitched sound may not trigger the  
fixture.  
9.3Master-Slave Operation (Sound Active): This function will allow you to link up to 16  
fixtures together and operate without a controller. The fixtures will be sound activated.  
In Master-Slave operation one fixture will act as the controlling fixture and the others will  
react to the controlling fixtures programs. Any fixture can act as a Master or as a Slave.  
9.3.1 Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your fixtures together via the  
XLR connector on the rear of the fixtures. Remember the Male XLR connector is  
the input and the Female XLR connector is the output. The first fixture in the chain  
(master) will use the female XLR connector only - The last fixture in the chain will  
use the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator  
at the last fixture.  
9.3.2 Follow the same procedures listed in the previous Stand-Alone section. With two  
exceptions; Be sure the first unit in the chain is selected as the “master“ (MSTR) is  
turned on in the audio submenu. All other fixtures must be in “slave“ mode (SVPT)  
turned on in the audio submenu.

12. FUSE REPLACEMENT  
Caution: Always replace with the exact same type fuse, unless otherwise specified by an authorized  
Elation® service technician. Replacing with anything other than the specified part can damage your unit  
and will void your manufactures warranty.  
Warning: If you continue to blow fuses, STOP using the fixture. Contact customer support for further  
instructions, you may have to return the unit for servicing. Continuing to use the unit may cause serious  
damage.  
Fuse Replacement: Locate and remove the unit’s power cord from the main power supply. Once the  
cord has been removed located the fuse holders located on the side panel near the power input  
connection. Using a flat-head screwdriver unlock the fuse holder from its’ housing by turning the holder in  
a counter-clockwise direction. Once the fuse holder has been unlocked, pull back on the fuse holder  
holder to expose the fuse. Gently pull out the bad fuse and discard of it properly and replace it with an  
exact match. Reassemble in reverse order.

11.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.

12. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:  
1. Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws may  
fall out during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.  
2. There must not be any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware  
and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could  
allow for UV radiation leakage. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could  
cause the unit to fall and serious injure a person.  
3. All mechanical parts and motors should not show any traces of serious wear and  
should rotate freely.  
4. Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or  
sediments. Never remove the ground prong from the power cable.  
Further instructions depending on installation and usage have to be adhered by a skilled  
installer and any safety problems should be addressed before attempting operation.  
Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation.  
We recommend frequent cleaning of the device, this will ensure operational longevity and  
crisp light output. When cleaning, please use a moist, lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol or  
solvents.  
There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture with the exception of the lamp. Please  
refer all other service related issues to an authorized Elation service technician.  
Should you decide to service the fixture yourself please order genuine Elation parts directly  
from Elation.
