General features The Displayer 250 graphic projector is a result of the cutting edge design policy which all SGM products have had in common for years and has been expressly built for projecting logos, information and publicity. Like every SGM product, it passed the firm s long trail period and strict tests brilliantly before being put on the market, ensuring high quality and reliability up to customary SGM standards. The unit s carefully studied lines and optimisation of the bodywork ensure functionality, as well as enabling easy installation in any position and making light work of any necessary maintenance. Built to current CE norms, Displayer is a stand-alone projector, i.e. one that can be used without any remote control. It has a very low voltage 2-pin halogen lamp, definitely ideal for this type of fixture, as it combines reliability over its long life (up to 300 hours) and astonishing luminous power with a ludicrously low price tag - definitely nowhere near that of the metal halide lamps mounted on other projectors of the same type. The special SGM-designed reflector concentrates the beam and the condenser lens in selected glass with a high transmission factor undergoes special multi-layer anti-glare treatment to further accentuate brightness and luminous power. Focussing is very easy, fast and really precise, thanks to the Focus screw knob on the front of the projector. Displayer has 8 standard colours obtained with 38 mm. dichroic filters, which are easily replaceable, so custom needs can be met. The carefully selected top quality filters ensure perfect colour uniformity. The group which holds the logos comprises a single 8-position wheel. They are all easily replaced, so the operator can install new images very quickly.

focus Positioning and focussing To position the projector, switch it on, set it in the required position by turning it on the support bracket, then lock it in place with the knobs on the bracket. Focussing the Displayer is very easy, fast and really precise, using the Focus screw knob on the front of the projector. Focussing is precise for all the projected images, thanks to the positioning on a single projection plane. Attention: due to the different physical characteristics of images reproduced on dichroic glass or metal (thickness of the support), Displayer must be fitted with just one of the two. If a combination of glass and metal is used, focussing won t be precise for both. focus To position one image use the dip-switch option #3 to have little steps for the perfect positioning. page 5 focus EN I appendice
Access and Maintenance Displayer has a very unusual system for access to the inside of the projector. Although being left hanging in the position it s installed in, the projector can be opened in half length-wise, thus enabling extremely easy access to the components inside to carry out any necessary work (cleaning, relamping or maintenance work on any mechanical or electronic parts, etc.). To open the projector, unscrew the 2 knobs on the front (see illustration), making certain that the lower part doesn t drop downwards when the unscrewing is finished. The opening is automatically locked in the fully open position. Attention: before opening the fixture after it has been used for a while, wait for at least 10 minute (the ideal time is 30 minutes), as the lamp and reflector reach temperatures able to cause serious burns if touched. fig. 1 fig. 3 focus fig. 3 After carrying out the necessary work, before pushing the lower part upwards (fig. 2) to close the projector, release the locking lever by raising it (fig. 3). Tighten the 2 knobs one after another, making absolutely certain that they are correctly hooked on to the lower part, to avoid it unexpectedly dropping down again. Relamping page 6 Before replacing the lamp: - make certain that replacement is actually necessary; - disconnect the fixture from the mains supply; - if the fixture was on, wait for the lamp and the internal mechanical parts to cool down before opening (about 30 minutes are necessary). Remove the burnt-out lamp. Make absolutely certain not to touch the lenses, reflector or the lamp itself with your bare hands, as residue burns at this high temperature, blackening the parts and definitively damaging the lamp. Fit the new lamp, mounting it carefully in its holder. To ensure correct protection, it s important that the lamp is perfectly fitted into the holder. Every time the lamp is replaced, it s advisable to always carry out a complete cleaning cycle.
Cleaning the projector Clean optics - inside and out - are decisive for luminous output and this work must be carried out periodically. The regularity with which cleaning is done depends above all on the surroundings in which the fixture is used: in particular, damp, very smoky or dusty surroundings cause dirt to build up on the fixture s optics. Always clean with a soft cloth and normal products for cleaning glass, or methylated spirits, always drying the parts carefully. Clean the outside of the lens at least every 15/20 days and the inside optics group at least every 40/60 days (condenser lenses, reflector). Replacing images and logos After having disconnected the projector from the main power supply, open it. If the fixture was in use, wait for the lamp and mechanical parts to cool (approximately 30 minutes are necessary). Using a small screwdriver, remove the spring (C), replace the gobo (B), then replace the spring, taking care to fit it perfectly on the special goboholder ring (A). Close the projector correctly again. Replacing colours After having disconnected the projector from the mains power, open it. If the fixture was in use, wait for the lamp and mechanical parts to cool (approximately 30 minutes are necessary). The colorwheel is made up of two parts, between which the colour filters are fitted into place. To replace them: using your fingers, very delicately open the two locking disks in the position corresponding to the dichroic filter to be replaced, remove the filter and fit the new one. Close the wheel and the projector correctly again. A B C Periodical checks To ensure that the fixture is always in perfect running order, it s advisable to carry out a periodic check every 700 running hours. Electrical and mechanical parts must be checked by expert technical staff. page 7 EN I appendice
Displayer 250 functions The Displayer 250 was designed and built for projecting logos and publicity images. It was therefore intended for use in every possible situation. Its functions are divided into two main groups: static and dynamic. Static use is when the Displayer projects a single image, e.g. an arrow indicating an exit. Dynamic use is when the projector uses all its positions for images (8 all together), projecting them one at a time at intervals chosen by the operator. One example is an installation in a sports shop, in which the logos of the key brands sold are projected. In the event of a particular installation requiring it, Displayer can carry out animation work in both static and dynamic modes. In fact, a function called dimmer sweep can be used which carries out a crossfade according to the illustration alongside, where the time (t) is chosen from those available. It s also possible to use Displayer s colors thanks to the rainbow function, during which the colorwheel rotates continuously. The last effect available is a 4-sided prism, which can be used to create an eye-catching image multiplication effect. Displayer 250 operating modes As already said, there are 2 operating modes: Static and Dynamic. Access is gained via the 4-position function dipswitch, on the right looking at the projector from the rear. The combinations to which this switch gives access are as follows: PIN 1 Static mode PIN 1 Dynamic mode. When the fixture is used in Static mode, the remaining 3 pins have the following functions: PIN 2 rainbow effect PIN 2 fixed colour PIN 3 no effect and fixed gobo PIN 3 gobo rotation enabled (or fixed gobo positioning) PIN 4 4-sided prism disabled PIN 4 4-sided prism enabled. In static mode the image projected must be only the #1. 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 dimmer % 3/8 t 1/8 t 3/8 t 1/8 t time t = total sweep time page 8 When the fixture is used in Dynamic mode, pins 2, 3 and 4 effect the following functions: PIN 2 + PIN 3 rainbow colour PIN 2 + PIN 3 fixed colour PIN 2 + PIN 3 timed colour change PIN 2 + PIN 3 no effect PIN 4 image wheel rotates at fixed speed PIN 4 timed image change.
