GP 250™ General Instructions GP 250™ Controls and Functions

1. Power Cord Inlet and Fuse Holder

Power Cord Inlet - This unit is equipped with a removable I.E.C. power

cord. Be sure to only use the power cord included with the unit, this

cord is designed to match the electrical requirements of the unit. Other

cords may cause the unit to overheat or malfunction. Voltage may vary

from venue to venue, when connecting this unit to a power supply be

sure to connect to a matching power outlet. Never use this ﬁxture if

the ground prong has been removed or broken off. The ground prong

is designed to reduce the risk of ﬁre or electrical shock in the event the

unit suffers from an internal short.

Fuse Holder - This housing stores a 8 amp (4 amp 220v) GMA pro-

tective fuse. Never defeat the fuse, the fuse is designed to protect the

electronics in the event of severe power ﬂuctuations. Always be sure

to replace the fuse with an exact match as the one being replaced,

unless otherwise told to do so by an authorized American DJ® service

technician.

2. XLR Output Jack - This jack is used to transmit the incoming

DMX signal to another DMX ﬁxture, or transmit a Master/Slave signal

to the next GP 250™ in the chain. For best results in DMX or Master/

Slave mode terminate this jack if it is the last unit in the chain. See

“Terminator” on page 10.

3. XLR DMX Input Jack - This jack is used to receive an incoming

DMX signal or Master/Slave signal.

4. Dipswitches - These switches serve two functions. In master-slave

mode these switches are used to assign a speciﬁc head address. In

DMX mode these switches are used to assign a DMX address to the

unit. In DMX mode each switch corresponds to a speciﬁc value based

on binary code. See pages 8-10 for a detailed explanation of DMX

binary code.

5. Audio Sensitivity Knob - This will adjust the audio sensitivity of the

INTERNAL MICROPHONE. Turning the sensitivity knob in the clock-

wise direction will increase the sensitivity to sound. Turning the knob

in the counter clockwise direction will decrease the ﬁxture’s sensitivity

to sound.

6. MINI/C Controller Jack - This jack is for use with the optional

MINI/C controller only. This controller is used to control the blackout

function. Do not attempt to connect an audio signal to this jack, this

will damage the PC board and void your manufactures warranty!

7. Lamp Assembly and Access Plate - This plate accesses the

lamp socket assembly. The unit includes a spring mounted ZB-EHJ5

250w halogen lamp. Be sure to only replace with same type lamp.

After replacing a lamp be sure the lamp is centered in the reﬂector.

See pages 13-14 for details on installing and optimizing replacement

lamps. Never operate this unit with the lamp exposed, this lamp emits

strong UV radiation.

8. Cooling Fan - This unit is equipped with two high velocity variable

fans to aid in the cooling process. These fans are designed to vary their

velocity at different operating temperatures, to provide better cooling

when the unit reached higher operating temperatures associated with

long usage. Be sure to never obstruct the cooling fans during normal

usage. Also, be sure to keep the vents clean at all times. A blocked or

malfunctioning cooling system may shorten lamp life and unit reliabil-

ity.

9. Lens Assembly - This high quality lens is a fully focusing. Focus the

lens by manually turning the lens in a clockwise or counter-clockwise

direction until the desired effect is achieved.

Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source

voltage in your area matches the required voltage for your American

DJ® GP 250.™ The American DJ® GP 250™ is available in a 120v and

220v version. Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue,

you should be sure your unit voltages matches the wall outlet voltage

before attempting to operate you ﬁxture.

DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal pro-

tocol used 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 trav-

els from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR ter-

minals 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 sin-

gle controller, as long as all ﬁxtures and the controller are DMX com-

pliant. 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. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address

of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1

to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

Dip-switches in DMX mode: This unit uses dip switches to assign a

DMX address. Each dip switch represents a binary value.

Dip Switch 1 address equals 1

Dip Switch 2 address equals 2

Dip Switch 3 address equals 4

Dip Switch 4 address equals 8

Dip Switch 5 address equals 16

Dip Switch 6 address equals 32

Dip Switch 7 address equals 64

Dip Switch 8 address equals 128

Dip Switch 9 address equals 256

Dipswitches 10, 11, and 12 - Some units omit dipswitch 10, and most

units do not have dipswitches 11 and 12. When a unit does include

dipswitch 10 it is usually used for special functions such as sound

activation.

Each dip switch has a preset value. A specific DMX address is set by

combining the dip switches that sum your desired value. For exam-

ple: To achieve a DMX address of 21, combine dip switches 1, 3, and

5. Sense dip switch 1 has a value of 1, dip switch 3 has a value of 4,

and dip switch 5 has a value of 16, the combination of the create a

DMX value of 21.

Set DMX address 21: Set DMX address 201:

Dip-switches # 1 = 1 Dip-switches # 1 = 1

3 = 4 4 = 8

5 = 16 7 = 64

= 21 8 = 128

= 201

Data Cable (DMX Cable) Requirements (For DMX and Master/Slave

Operation): The GP 250™ can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol.

The GP 250™ is a four channel DMX unit. The DMX address is set on

the bottom panel of the GP 250.™ Your unit and

your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR

connector for data input and data output (Figure

1). If you are making your own cables, be sure to

use standard two conductor shielded cable (This

cable may be purchased at almost all pro 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.

Figure 1

Notice: Be sure to follow ﬁgures two and three when making your own

cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-

nect 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.

Special Note: Line Termination.

When longer runs of cable are

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic

behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-

nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and

DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last

unit 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.

Operating Modes: The GP 250™ can operate in three different

modes. This next section will detail the differences in the oper-

ating modes.

• Stand alone mode -

The unit will react to sound, chasing through the built-in programs.

You can also use the optional MINI/C Remote Control to blackout the

units.

• Master/Slave mode -

You can daisy chain up to 16 units together to get a synchronized

light show without the need of an external controller. The units will

react to sound chasing through the several built-in programs.

• 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.™

Universal DMX Control: This function allows you to use a uni-

versal DMX-512 controller such as the Elation® DMX Operator™ or

Elation® Show Designer™ to control the colored gobo wheel, the

shutter (strobe), and the Internal programs. A DMX controller allows

you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.

1. The GP 250™ uses four DMX channels. Channel 1 controls the

colored gobo wheel, channel 2 controls the gobo rotation, chan-

nel 3 controls the dimmer, and channel 4 selects one of the 8

internal programs. See page 16 for a detailed description of the

DMX traits.

2. To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures

on pages 8-10 as well as the set-up specifications that are

included with your DMX controller.

3. Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.

4. This will allow you to create your own programs.

5. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on

the last fixture.

6. For more help operating in DMX mode consult the manual includ-

ed with your DMX controller.

Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active): This mode allows a

single unit or several units linked together, to run to the beat of the

GP 250™ Operation GP 250™ Operation

music.

1. To operate the unit in Sound Active mode. Set dipswitch #10 and

#11 to the “on” position. See dipswitch settings on page 15.

2. The GP 250™ will now react to the bass sound of

music via the internal microphone.

Stand Alone Mode (Internal Program):

1. To operate as a stand alone unit, via its internal program, follow

the dipswitch settings on page 15.

2. The GP 250™ will now run its own internal program.

3. You can also use the optional MINI/C Remote Control to activate

the blackout function.

Master-Slave Operation: This function will allow you to link up to

16 units together and operate without a controller. The units can be

sound activate or run the Internal program. In Master-Slave operation

one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to

the controlling units movements and programs. Any unit can act as a

Master or as a Slave.

1. Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units

together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remem-

ber the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR

connector is the output. The ﬁrst unit in the chain (master) will use

the female XLR connector only - The last unit in the chain will use

the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a

terminator at the last fixture.

2. For dipswitch settings on setting the Master and Slave, and also

the modes of operation, i.e. sound active, internal programs, see

page 15.

5. You can also use the optional MINI/C Remote Control to activate

the blackout function. If you want to use the optional remote con-

trol, connect the MINI/C controller to the first fixture in the line

(master)

GP 250™ Fuse & Lamp Replacement

Caution: Always replace with the exact same type lamp and fuse,

unless otherwise specified by an authorized American DJ® 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 lamps or fuses, STOP using the

unit. Contact customer support for further instructions, you may have

to return the unit for servicing. Continuing to use the unit may cause

serious damage.

Lamp Replacement: Caution! Never attempt to change the lamp

while the fixture is plugged in. Always disconnect the main power

and allow the unit ample time to cool before attempting to replace

the lamp. Lamp replacement has been made simple by incorporating

a slide out lamp assembly that is retained by two phillips screws.

1. Be sure to follow the proper handling procedures that deal with

discharge lamps.

2. Unscrew the two thumb screws (A,B) on the rear of the unit

3. After removing the screws, gently slide out the socket assembly

from the rear of the unit to expose the lamp.

4. Carefully remove the old lamp and discard it in the trash.

5. Replace the lamp with an exact match and reassemble in reverse

order.

6. After replacing the lamp follow the optimization procedures on the

next page to be sure the lamp is center in the reflector

Optimizing Lamp Alignment: 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.

1. Be sure main power is disconnected and allow the unit to cool. If

the you have just installed a new unit you can obviously skip this

step.

2. Make a preliminary adjustment: Turn the three lamp adjustment

thumb screws completely in (clockwise). Then back them each

out (counter-clockwise) about three complete turns.

3. Turn the unit on and allow it to reset.

4. Using either a DMX controller or the control panel on the unit,

strike the lamp and focus the light on a ﬂat surface.

5. 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. 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.

7. 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.

GP 250™ Fuse & Lamp Replacement

Optimizing Screws Optimizing Screws

Fuse Replacement: Locate and remove the unit’s power cord. Once

the cord has been removed located the fuse holder located inside the

power socket. Insert a flat-head screw driver into the power socket

and gently pry out the fuse holder. Remove the bad fuse and replace

with a new one. The fuse holder has a built-in socket for a spare fuse

be sure not to confuse the spare fuse with active fuse.

GP 250™ Cleaning

GP 250™ Trouble Shooting

Trouble Shooting: Listed below are a few common problems

that you may encounter, with solutions.

No light output from the unit;

1. Be sure you have connected your unit into a standard 120v

wall outlet.

2. Be sure the external fuse has not blown. The fuse is located

on the back panel of the unit inside the power socket.

3. Remove the lamp holder and be sure the lamp is seated in

its socket properly. Occasionally lamps become loose dur-

ing shipping be sure the lamp is push in to its socket all the

way.

4. Be sure the fuse holder is completely and properly seated.

Unit does not respond to sound;

1. Low frequencies (bass) should cause the unit to react to

sound. Tapping on the microphone, quiet or high pitched

sounds may not activate the unit.

Fixture Cleaning: Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust clean-

ing the internal and external optical lenses and mirror should be

carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning fre-

quency depends on the environment in which the fixture oper-

ates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use we

recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will

ensure longevity, and crisp output.

1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the

outside casing.

2. Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.

3. Clean the external optics and mirror with glass cleaner and a

soft cloth every 20 days.

4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth

every 30-60 days.

5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging

the unit back in.
