The PR LIGHTING XS 250 (PR-2226) is a projector designed for indoor use, offering a range of features for professional lighting applications. This product manual provides comprehensive information for its safe installation, operation, and maintenance.
The XS 250 is a versatile projector capable of producing various lighting effects. It operates using a discharge lamp, with options for PHILIPS MSD 250W/2, OSRAM HSD 250/78, or GE CSD250/2/SE lamps, each offering different color temperatures and rated lifespans. The projector features a color wheel with 12 dichroic color filters plus white, allowing for variable speed bi-directional rainbow effects and step/linear color changing.
Gobo projection is a key feature, with one rotating gobo wheel and one fixed gobo wheel. The rotating gobo wheel holds 7 interchangeable gobos (glass or metal) plus white, which are indexable and bi-directionally rotatable at variable speeds. The fixed gobo wheel contains 10 interchangeable gobos plus white, offering bi-directional wheel scrolling at variable speeds. The gobos have a diameter of 22.5mm and an image diameter of 17mm.
Further enhancing its capabilities, the XS 250 includes a 1x3 facet prism that is bi-directionally rotatable at variable speeds, adding dynamic visual effects. The projector offers DMX-controlled focus, allowing for precise beam adjustments. Dimming is linearly adjustable from 0-100%, and the shutter features double blades with a speed range of 0.3 to 12 F.P.S.
Head movement is extensive, with a Pan of 540° and Tilt of 270°, both with auto position correction, ensuring accurate and repeatable positioning. The beam angle is fixed at 16°.
Control of the XS 250 is primarily through DMX512, supporting 3-pin and 5-pin interfaces. It also incorporates the RDM control protocol. The projector offers three DMX modes: short mode (12 channels), standard mode (16 channels), and extended mode (218 channels), providing flexibility for different control setups. Beyond DMX, it supports Master/Slave mode for synchronized operation of multiple units without a dedicated controller, and Stand-Alone mode for independent operation. A self-test mode is also available for diagnostics.
The XS 250 is designed for ease of setup and operation. Installation requires mounting the projector with two clamps and a safety cord, ensuring it is firmly anchored to a secure structure capable of supporting its weight. The manual emphasizes unlocking the PAN and TILT before initial use and lifting the projector by its handles.
Connecting the power supply involves a standard 3-pin connection, with clear instructions for live, earth, and neutral wires. It's crucial to match the projector's voltage and frequency requirements and ensure proper earthing. For DMX control, the projector uses 2-core screened cables with 3-pin or 5-pin XLR plugs and sockets. Multiple fixtures can be daisy-chained, with the last fixture requiring a DMX terminator to prevent signal corruption.
The projector features an intuitive operation menu accessible via press buttons and an LED display. Users can set the DMX start address, browse various setup options (AddR to Edit), and save settings. The LED display provides clear indications of the projector's status, including DMX signal status (OK, no signal, error), panel setting, power status, and operating mode (slave, self-test, master).
For lamp replacement, the manual provides detailed steps, including locking the yoke, opening the rear cover, gently pulling out the lamp holder, and inserting a new lamp. A critical note advises against touching the lamp bulb with bare hands to avoid affecting beam output. It also highlights the high-pressure nature of MSD series lamps and the importance of reading manufacturer's instructions.
Gobo replacement is also straightforward, with separate instructions for fixed and rotating gobos. For rotating gobos, the gobo holder can be removed, the spring pulled out, and the gobo replaced. Special care is advised for glass gobos, recommending handling with soft tissue or cloth.
The projector includes several other functions to enhance usability: adjustable Pan & Tilt speed, display of fixture and lamp usage time, an English language menu on the LED display, an energy-saving function for the ballast, a built-in analyzer for fault finding and error messages, and built-in demo sequences. Input signal isolating protection is also integrated for reliability.
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of the XS 250. The manual provides clear guidelines for cleaning and lubrication.

Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues:
The manual emphasizes that all maintenance work should only be carried out by qualified technicians. It also advises against operating the projector without a lamp or with covers removed. If the lamp or shields/lens become damaged or deformed, they must be replaced. After switching off, a cooling period of approximately 15 minutes is required before restarting the lamp, and frequent on/off cycles should be avoided to prolong lamp and projector life.
