The connection between controller and projector must be made
using a multicore cable with 8 wires of 0.25mm
2 section and a
DIN 8 PIN 45° plug/socket connector.
RS 232/423(PMX) - DMX 512 CONNECTION
Projectors are wired up to the controller and one to the next using two-core screened
cable and Cannon 5 pin XLR type plug/socket connectors.
To connect a DMX line, a terminating plug (15) with a 100
Ω resistor wired between
pins 2 and 3 must be fitted to the last projector connected in series; the plug is not
required when using an RS232/423(PMX) signal.
The wires must not come into contact with each other or with the metal cas-
ing of the plug.
The casing of the plug/socket must be connected to the screen and to pin 1
of the connectors.
Having completed the operations described above, press the on/off switch (16).
Check that the lamp comes on and that the auto-reset sequence starts.
• Projector address codes (for digital signals)
Each TIGER C.C. projector uses 3 control channels. To ensure that different projec-
tors are addressed correctly by the controller, a code must be assigned to each one.
This operation is carried out on each TIGER C.C. by setting the microswitches as
indicated in the table below.

Setting the TEST switch to the ON position for a few seconds with the projector pow-
ered-up, an auto-reset routine is carried out. Leaving the TEST switch at the ON posi-
tion for a longer period, a full self-test program will be completed; once the operation
has terminated, return the switch to the OFF position.
POSITIONING THE PROJECTOR 3
• Alignment procedure
Before positioning the projector, set the channels as shown in the following table:

After setting up the channels loosen the
knobs (3), and manoeuvre the projector
on its bracket (2) until the beam is
directed at the centre of the scene, then
retighten the knobs (3).
• Adjusting the lens
Move the lens (17) back and forward
until the projected image is satisfactorily
focused, then tighten knob (18).

The change of colour in response to
movement of the potentiometer is lin-
ear and continuous so that the slider
can be stopped in intermediate posi-
tions to obtain a two colour beam.
In the 0% to 50% range of adjustment,
the dimmer opens gradually to maxi-
mum aperture. Strobe effect is pro-
duced from 54.7% to 95%, with fre-
quency increasing from 1 to 7 flashes
per second.
The aperture remains fixed between
95% and 100% of the range.
