Power Wash 250™  
WARRANTY REGISTRATION: The Power Wash 250B™carries a two year (730  
days) limited warranty. Please fill out the enclosed warranty card to validate your  
purchase. All returned service items whether under warranty or not, must be freight pre-  
paid and accompany a return authorization (R.A.) number. The R.A. number must be  
clearly written on the outside of the return package. A brief description of the problem as  
well as the R.A. number should also be included in the shipping container. If the fixture  
is under warranty, you must provide a copy of your proof of purchase invoice. You may  
obtain a R.A. number by contacting customer support at (323) 582-3322.  
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.  
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 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. Extreme caution should be used when operated this or any fixture  
fitted with a gas discharge lamp.  
Epileptic Warning: Those suffering from epilepsy should avoid looking directly into  
the lamp at all times.  
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.

installation you can use the optional mounting plate (secured to the bottom  
of the fixture) to secure the fixture to a ceiling or a wall. The plate uses four  
M6x20 screws.  
3.2 Securing the POWER WASH 250™  
Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your POWER WASH 250B™  
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.

Connected load 500W <=> 4.4 A (blind current compensation)  
or 230V ~ 50Hz AC (EU),  
Connected load 500W <=> 2.2 A (blind current compensation)  
Operating voltage is pre-selected at the factory and is not user selectable.  
Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue, you should be sure  
your fixture voltage matches that of the outlet. The voltage requirements for  
the fixture are clearly printed on the side panel near the power cord.  
3.3.2 DMX-512  
3-Pin XLR Input/Output. [+] = Pin 3 / [-] = Pin 2 / [Ground] = Pin 1  
3.4 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 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” terminal). 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.  
3.5 Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation):  
The Power Wash 250B™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Power  
Wash 250B™ is a 14 channel DMX fixture. The DMX address is set electronically  
using the controls on the side panel of the fixture. Your fixture and your DMX

Power Wash 250™  
controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output  
(Figure Below). If you are making your own cables, be sure to use standard two  
conductor shielded cable (This cable may be purchased at almost all professional  
sound and lighting stores). 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 can not be split.  
2.6 Notice: 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.  
2.7 Special Note: Line Termination. 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 which 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 (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of  
erratic behavior.  
2.8 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 chart below details a proper cable conversion.

3.9 Fuse Requirements  
The POWER WASH 250B™ electronic system is protected by a 5x20 mm external  
fuse. 115V / T 6.3A (US model) or 230V / T 3.15A (EU model).  
The fuse requirements are clearly printed on the side of the fixture.  
WARNING:  
Always disconnect main power before changing a fuse!  
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 severely damage your  
fixture and will void your manufactures warranty.

Power Wash 250™  
4. Operation  
Operating Modes: The Power Wash 250B™ 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 LSC® Show Designer 2.™  
4.1Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512  
controller such as the LSC® DMX Operator II™ or LSC® 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 Wash™ uses 14 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.  
4.1.1 Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.This will allow  
you to create your own programs.  
4.1.2 Follow the instruction on page 18 to set the DMX address.  
4.1.3 For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) be sure to use a terminator on the  
last fixture.  
4.1.4 For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX  
controller.  
4.2 Stand-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.  
4.2.1 Mount your fixture in a secure and stable manner.  
4.2.2 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.  
4.2.3 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.  
4.2.4 Be sure the Master (MSTR) function is switched “ON,“ and the SVPT function is  
switched “OFF.“  
4.2.5 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.  
4.2.6 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.  
4.3Master-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.  
4.3.1 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  
4.3.2 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.

6.2 Removing the Lamp  
6.2.1 Be sure the unit is disconnected from it’s main power supply.  
6.2.2 Remove the 3 retaining Phillips screws that secure the lamp cover to fixture  
chasis.  
6.2.3 Once the lamp cover is free, expose the lamp by gently pull out the lamp socket  
assembly.  
6.2.4 Gently remove the old lamp from it’s socket. If the old lamp has exploded be sure  
to remove all of the old lamp fragments to prevent damage to the internal  
components.  
6.2.5 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.  
6.2.6 Before reassembing the unit, be sure to adjust the lamp distance from the main  
lens. The optimum distance between the lamp and the lens is between 1.0-1.5  
mm. Use the optimization screws located on the outer socket casing marked [A]  
to make this adjustment.  
6.2.7 Reassemble the unit in reverse order.  
6.2.8 Besure to reset the lamp running time (see page 19).  
Attention:  
Be sure the lamp is securely seated in the lamp socket. Also pay close  
attention to the lamp orientation, optimum distance between the lamp and  
the lens should range between 1.0 - 1.5 mm. Failure to comply with this  
warning may cause excessive heat build-up that may cause the internal  
lens to crack.

Power Wash 250™  
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 POWER WASH 250B™ lamp holder is aligned at the factory. However, due to  
slight imperfections in all lamps, fine adjustments may improve light performance.  
Please follow this procedure:  
6.3.1 Strike the lamp (for example in the LAMP menu) and wait a while until full  
intensity of the lamp.  
6.3.2 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).  
6.3.3 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.  
6.3.4 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.  
6.3.5 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 the  
screws  
Attention: Be sure that the minimum distance between the lamp and lens is more then  
1.0mm. If it is less then this distance, the lens has higher probability of shattering.

8. Maintenance and Cleaning the POWER WASH 250B™  
It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt, smoke, and fog-  
fluid residues do not built up on or within the fixture. This will reduce the risk of  
premature lamp life failure and will prevent a significant reduction in lamp output.  
Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light-output, but will also allow the  
fixture to function reliable throughout its life.  
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recom-  
mended, under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used!  
The inside optical system should be maintained only by authorized persons. Please  
contact Elation professionals for recommendation associated with internal cleaning  
procedures.  
8.1Safety Regulations  
Always disconnect main power before attempting any service related  
issues!  
Allow ample time for the lamp to cool (at least 20 minutes) before performing  
any cleaning procedures.  
Never attempt operation with any of the protective covers removed!

The above chart is a recommended cleaning schedule only. Cleaning frequency  
depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (I.E. smoke, fog residue,  
dust, dew). In clubs that observe heavier use, we recommend cleaning on a more  
frequent basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure fixture longevity and crisp lamp  
output.
