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 lamp has  
had ample time to cool. Remember, lamps are not covered under  
warranty conditions.  
UV RADIATION: 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.  
Only qualified personnel should perform all electrical connections.  
Be sure the available voltage matches the voltage requirements of the unit.  
Be sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged. If the power cord is damaged, replace  
it immediately with a new one of similar power rating.  
Always disconnect from main power before performing any type of service or any cleaning  
procedure.  
Only handle the power cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the wire portion of  
the cord.

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 30 minutes before attempting any type of service.  
• Before you put the Design Spot 575B™ 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  
handling procedures included with your new lamp. Never handle the new lamp with  
your bare hands as the oils from your skin may damage the lamp. Always replace  
with a lamp that meets the original 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 lamp or  
equivalent).

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 575B™ 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 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.  
3. To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws clockwise a 1/4-turn

Design Spot 575B™  
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 (  
counterclockwise. Turn until the light is bright and evenly  
"1, 2, 3”)  
distributed throughout the beam field.  
Please remember that a MSR 575 lamp is not a hot-strike 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 unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture.  
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 575B™ 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 (1.5ft) 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 575B™  
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 a qualified electrician performs all electrical  
connections.  
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 575B™ 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 on the  
next page). 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 575B™  
Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your Design Spot 575B™ 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. DMX allows all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together  
and operate from a single controller. This is possible as long as all the fixtures and the  
controller are DMX compliant. ADMX controller sends the DMX data instructions to the fixture  
allowing the user to control the different aspects of an intelligent light. DMX data is sent out as  
serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via data “IN” and data “OUT” XLR terminals  
located on the fixtures (most controllers will only have output jacks).  
DMX Linking: To ensure proper DMX data transmission always use proper DMX cables and  
a terminator. When using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible.  
Never split a DMX line with a “Y” style connector. The order in which the 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 the DMX chain, at the beginning, at  
the end, or anywhere in the middle. The DMX controller knows to send data assigned to  
address 1 to that fixture no matter where it is located in the DMX chain. The Design Spot  
575B™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The Design Spot 575B™ is a 15-channel  
DMX fixture. The DMX address is set electronically using the controls on the LCD menu.  
Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave Operation): Your  
fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for data input  
and data output (the figure below is of a 3-Pin XLR connector). If you are making your own  
cables, be sure to use two conductor shielded digital DMX cable rated at 120 ohms; this cable  
is designed for DMX transmission and 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. A DMX line must be daisy chained and cannot be split,  
unless using an approved DMX splitter such as the Elation Opto Branch 4™ or DMX  
Branch/4™.  
©Elation Professional, Los Angeles CA.  
17  
Design Spot 575B™

Design Spot 575B™  
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 that  
should be used is two conductor, shielded DMX cable with XLR input and output connectors.  
Remember to 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™.

Design Spot 575B™  
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator  
A DMX terminator should be used in all DMX lines especially in longer runs. The use of a  
terminator may avoid erratic behavior in your DMX line. A terminator is a 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 line terminator (Elation part: DMX T PACK) will decrease the  
possibilities of erratic behavior.  
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.  
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  
©Elation Professional, Los Angeles CA.

Design Spot 575B™  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Design Spot 575B™  
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 575B™, which is a 15 channel fixture, you should set the  
starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 16 (15 + 1), the third unit to 31  
(15 + 16), and so on.  
Note: During start-up the Design Spot 575B™ will automatically detect whether a DMX data  
signal is being received or not. If DMX data signal is being received, the display will show  
"Addr=XXX" (XXX representing the actual DMX address). If the fixture is not receiving a  
DMX signal the display will flash. 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 or 5-PIN XLR input plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not  
connected or is not inserted completely into the DMX input jack of the fixture.  
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.

9 MENU FUNCTIONS:  
9.1 Function Mode  
9.1.1. DMX address setting  
This function is used to set or adjust the fixture’s starting DMX address. Every device  
controlled by DMX has to have a unique starting address. The addressing feature is  
what allows DMX to function properly. The DMX address of a fixture is what allows it to  
communicate with a controller properly. The DMX addressing also allows the fixture to  
ignore any DMX information coming from the controller that is not meant specifically for  
the fixture. Because each fixture is connected in a daisy-chain fashion it is imperative to  
assign a proper and unique starting DMX address to each and every fixture. The DMX  
address is non-destructive and will remain in the fixture’s memory even when the power  
to the unit is switched off. Memory is backed-up and retain by an internal power source  
that should last about five years. For proper DMX addressing see Section 10/Page 32 of  
this user manual.  
9.1.2. Display the DMX 512 value of each channel  
With this function you can display the DMX 512 value of each channel. The display will  
automatically readout the changing DMX values as they are received.  
9.1.3. Slave setting  
With this function, you can define the device as slave for operation in Master/Slave mode.  
9.1.4. Auto Program  
This function allows the internal programs to run. The desired program is selected in the  
“Select program” section of the control menu. You can set the number of steps under  
“Edit program”. You can edit the individual scenes under “Edit scenes”. With this  
function, you can run the individual scenes either automatically, i.e. with the adjusted  
Step-Time.  
9.1.5. Music control  
With this function, you can run the internal program via sound.

11.OPERATION  
Operating Modes: The Design Spot 575B™ can operate in several different modes. This  
next section will detail the differences in the operating modes.  
• Auto Program Mode (Master) - The fixture will chase through the built-in programs,  
sending a DMX control signal to all other fixtures connect via DMX cables instruction for a  
synchronized light show.  
• Auto Program Mode (Stand-alone) - The fixture will chase through the built-in program.  
This feature is great for store front with custom logos, where as the logos need to be  
displayed but the use of a controller is unwanted.  
• Music Control Mode (Stand-alone) - The fixture will react to sound, chasing through the  
built-in programs. Great for small clubs or DJs that do not want to bother with programming.  
• Music Control Mode (Master/Slave) - 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 a synchronized light show.  
• Set To Slave – This function will set the fixture to slave mode for use in either the auto  
program or music control program modes.  
• 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 or Show Designer  
3.  
11.1  
Stand-Alone Operation (Auto Program or Music Control): This mode allows a  
single fixture to run to the built-in programs with or without sound. Only use this  
mode when running a single fixture, or when running several fixtures as individuals.  
•
•
Mount your fixture in a secure and stable manner.  
For functionality without sound control: Access the “Function” menu and  
select the “Auto Program” function, this will give you access to the “Auto  
Program” submenu. See page 22 for the menu breakdown. Once in the  
“Auto Program” submenu select “Alone”  
•
For functionality that chases to sound: Access the “Function” menu and  
select the “Music Control” function, this will give you access to the “Music  
Control” submenu. See page 21 for the menu breakdown. Once in the

Design Spot 575B™  
“Music Control” submenu select “Alone”  
11.2  
Master-Slave Operation (Auto Program or Music Control): This function allows  
up to 16 fixtures to be linked together to provide a synchronized light show without  
the use of a controller. Only use this when linking several Design Spot 575B  
together for use without a controller. Any fixture can act as a “Master or a “Slave.”  
•
Using XLR DMX cables, daisy chain your fixtures together via the XLR  
connectors. 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.  
•
•
For the unit functioning as the “Master” unit follow the same procedures  
listed in the previous Stand-Alone section.  
For the “Slave” units, access the “Set To Slave” settings in the “Function  
Mode” menu and assign each slave fixture a designation (Slave 1, Slave 2,  
Slave 3…etc).  
11.3 Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512  
controller such as the Elation® Show Designer 2™ or Elation® Show Designer 3™ 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 Design Spot 575B™ uses 15 DMX channels. See page 41 for detailed description  
of the DMX traits. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures on  
pages 17-19 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.  
•
•
Follow the instruction on page 32 to set the DMX address.  
Be sure to use a terminator on the last fixture, especially for longer cable  
runs (more than a 100 feet).  
•
For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual that was included with  
your DMX controller.

Step 1B – Building Scenes from an External DMX Controller.  
The fixture includes a simple built-in DMX recorder. This recorded allow you to build a scene  
using your own DMX console and then send that scene to the fixture to be stored inside one  
of the fixture scene storage banks. Many people may find this procedure easier and quicker  
than using the on board menu functions as in “Step 1.” To store a scene from an external  
DMX controller follow the procedures below:  
-
-
Using your DMX controller build and store scenes as you normally would.  
Once you have built all your required scenes, enter the fixtures main menu  
and toggle to “Edit Programs” – “Edit Scenes”  
-
Using the UP and DOWN buttons to select a scene bank to store your scene.  
You may choose a bank from 1 ~ 250.

Once you reach your desired bank press the ENTER button and use the UP  
and DOWN button to reach “Input by Outside”  
Next, select a scene on your DMX console and press the ENTER button on  
the fixture. The scene should then be stored to the fixtures internal memory  
EPROM.  
-
Follow the next section to build a program with your scenes.  
Step 2 – Editing Programs.  
The control will store a maximum of 10 programs. A program can store one or a maximum of  
64 scenes. Keep in mind that a scene can only be access when it is stored inside one of the  
10 available programs. Follow the procedure below to build an internal program:  
•
•
•
Access the main menu and toggle to “Edit Programs” which is menu function 8.  
Then tap the “ENTER” button and toggle to “Program 1” menu function 8-2-1.  
When you get to the “Program 1” function tap the “ENTER” button. The screen will  
then change to Edit Steps 01, this will be menu function 8-2-1-1. Use the “UP” and  
“DOWN” buttons to toggle through the scenes created in “Step 1.” Press the  
“ENTER” button to add a scene to the program. Tapping the “Enter” button will  
automatically lock the selected scene into the programs’ memory. Repeat the  
process until all the desired scenes have been added to the program. Each program  
can store a maximum of 64 scenes.  
•
To test the program access “Program Test” in the “Program Edit” menu function.  
Step 3 – Playing a Program  
To initiate a program follow the procedure below:  
•
Access the main menu and use the “Up” and “Down” to toggle to “Function Mode”  
and tap the “Enter” button.  
•
•
In the next screen select “Auto Program” and tap the “Enter” button.  
There are now two selections, “Master” and “Alone.” Select “Master” when running  
multiple fixtures in a master/slave configuration. See section 11.2 “Master/ Slave  
Operation” on page 36 for proper set-up instructions. Select “Alone” when running a  
single fixture or when multiple fixtures in stand-alone mode. See section 11.1  
“Stand-Alone Operation” on page 34 for proper set-up instructions.

14. 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 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.

15.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.  
Pan Er  
(PAN-yoke movement error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the  
yoke’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunction (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the  
stepping-motor is defective (or its driving IC on the main PCB). The PAN- movement is not  
located in the default position after the reset.  
Tilt Er  
(TILT-head movement error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the

16. 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.  
We recommend frequent cleaning of the fixture to 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.
