3. General Guidelines
4. Cleaning And Maintenance
• This xture is a professional lighting eect designed for use on stage, in nightclubs, in theatres, etc. Do not attempt operation or installation without a proper knowledge on how to do
so.
• This xture was designed for indoor use only.
• Consistent operational breaks may ensure that
the xture will function properly for many years
to come.
• Do not shake the xture around. Avoid brute
force when installing or operating the device.
• While choosing an installation location, please
be sure that the xture will not be exposed to
extreme heat, moisture or dust. The minimum
distance between the xture and a wall or at
surface should be at least 1 meter (about 3.5ft).
• Always install the xture with an appropriate safety cable. When installing the xture in
a suspended environment always be sure to
use mounting hardware no less than M10 x 25
mm, also be sure the hardware is insert in the
pre-arranged screw holes in the base of the
xture.
• When using the quick release “Omega” cam-
lock system, be sure the four quick lock fasteners are locked in the quick lock holes correctly.
• Do not attempt to operate this xture until you
have familiarized yourself with its functions.
• Do not permit operation by persons not quali-
ed for operating this type of theatrical xture;-
most damages are the result of operations by
nonprofessionals.
• Please use the original packaging to transport
the xture in for service.
• If a projector can’t start, please check if the
fuse is blown up. If it does, replace it with a
new fuse with same ratings. And the projector
has over-temperature protective device. If the
temperature is too high, the protective device
will be triggered to shut the projector o. When
it happens, please check if the fans run normally
or fan shield is blocked by dust. After the issue
is solved, restart the projector.
• The accumulation of oil, smoke and dust on the
lens will compromise the light output.
• Cleaning a projector is very necessary to ensure a reliable use of it. Cooling fans need to
be cleaned every 15days. Internal lens, reector
and hot mirror need to be cleaned periodically
to optimize light output.
• Cleaning frequency is to be decided by operations and its environment. Use soft cloth
and normal detergent for glass for cleaning
work. It’s advised external optical system be
cleaned every 20days and internal optical sys-
tems every 30/60days. Keep lens clean and do
not touch optical parts with bare hands.

6. Lamp Installation Instructions
7. Mounting And Installation
Installing or replacing the lamp
• For a proper and safe lamp change, please read
this chapter carefully and follow all instructions.
Lamp Protection Circuitry
• Because of the nature of the extreme heat
associated with the Platinum 20R lamp and
the tight nature of the internal optical system it
is imperative that the lamp be replaced every
2000 hours. This is done to protect the internal
optical system as well as prevent accidental
lamp explosion, which could lead to hot glass
particles falling from the xture.
Failure to change the lamp within 300 hours of
operation will result in automatic shut down of
thexture’selectronics.
• At 1400 hours the display will begin to ash
“Replace The Lamp” and the lamp will icker
for the rst ve minutes of operation. At this
point the lamp has reached the maximum rated
life and should be replaced immediately. After
the lamp has ickered for about ve minutes
it should strike normally allowing the xture to
be used temporarily until a replacement lamp
can be installed. The xture will continue to
operate for an additional 100 hours, however
the “Replace the Lamp” warning will continue to
ash in the display.
• Keep in mind that the icker protection circuitry
will only work for about 100 hours (lamp clock
life of 1400-1500 hours). After 1500 hours
the xture will no longer respond to DMX
commands and immediately enter a hibernation
mode that will electronically discontinue all
xture functionality with the exception of a
few menu commands. The xture will continue
to enter hibernation mode until the lamp is
replaced and the lamp clock has been reset. To
replace the lamp follow the safety guidelines
and procedures below;
Safety Regulations
• Always replace lamp every 1400 hours.
• Disconnect the unit’s main power supply.
• If you unit has been running, please allow
the unit to cool for at least 15 minutes before
attempting any type of service.
• When replacing an old lamp, always be sure
to replace with an approved replacement. In
this case a Osram MSD Platinum 20R lamp is
required. Be sure the replacement lamp meets
or exceeds the original lamp specications,
failure to do so may damage the xture and void
the manufactures warranty.
• Be sure to follow all the lamp handling
procedures included with the new lamp. Never
handle the new lamp with your bare hands as
the oils from your skin may damage the lamp
and cause premature lamp failure.
• Take 2 clamps and the safety cord out from the
package and mount 2 clamps on the undersi-
de of xture with 2 retainers attached to each
clamp.
• Hang the xture on the structure and fasten
the screws attached to each clamp.To pass the
SAFETY CORD through the HOLES for safety!
Always ensure that the projector is rmly anchored to avoid vibration and slipping whilst functioning.
• Always ensure that the structure that you are
going to mount the projector to is secure and
strong enough to support the weight of the
xture
