Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that
all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box
and packing.
AC Power
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of
the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating is its average
current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and
cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch. Before applying power to a
fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s requirement.
Check the fixture or device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection
switch exists that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.
Warning! Verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the
line voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits
with a suitable Earth Ground.

SETUP
Lamp
You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. An MSD250 high intensity
discharge lamp is included.
Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the
unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement.
Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp
with alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
Lamp Installation
1. Remove screws labeled (S1) and pull out lamp socket plate.
2. If replacing the lamp, remove old lamp first.
3. Holding the new lamp by its base, align the pins on the lamp
with the small hole in the socket and insert the lamp squarely
until the retaining clips on the lamp socket secure the lamp
tightly.
4. Clean the glass/envelope of the bulb with an alcohol wipe or
equivalent.
5. Holding the lamp socket plate, insert the tip of the lamp into the
fixture with extreme care. Navigate the lamp all the way until it
reaches the reflector and the lamp base plate touches the
bottom plate of the fixture.
6. Align the screw holes and fasten the screws back onto the
lamp socket plate.
7. If you are replacing the lamp, you may want to log the fixture
hours in order to track the lamps use. Navigate to the H000 on
the menu display to obtain this information. Please note that it
is normal for the fixture to have logged a few hours of testing
prior to your use.
8. Turn the fixture on and adjust the lamp alignment screws (S2)
until the brightest most even area of the beam is in the center of your spot. It may be necessary
for you to use a controller in order to command the fixture to display a white beam on a flat surface
with no colors.
Maximizing the life of your lamp
To ensure the longest and most efficient use of the lamp always wait
between 10 and 15 minutes before re-applying power after a shutdown.
Failure to do so could result in premature aging of the lamp and failure to
the electronics that drive it.
