Installing the HPL lamp

1. Disconnect power before installing the lamp.

2. Let the lamp cool before replacing.

3. Loosen the captured screw on the back of the raceway and open the raceway lid.

4. The raceway lid is designed to remain open using gravity. If lid swings shut,

reposition the MultiPAR unit using the hanging irons or trunnions to lock the unit
in position.

5. Remove lamp socket by loosening the gnurled knob and removing the socket

assembly. Remove the HPL lamp from its box, holding it by the base.

Note:

To avoid premature lamp failure, do not touch the lamp glass
with your fingers. If you touch the lamp during installation,
clean

it carefully with rubbing alcohol and a clean, lint-free

cloth before operation.

6. Insert lamp base into pin holes in socket assembly.

7. Push down on the lamp base until the lamp is firmly inserted. Make sure that the

lamp is fully seated, with the bottom of the lamp heat sink flush to the socket
assembly surface.

8. To reinstall the socket assembly, insert until the heat sink base rests flush against

the reflector, then tighten the knurled bolt to secure the socket assembly in
place.Figure 1

CAUTION:

Always replace the lamp if it becomes damaged or
deformed.

Verify that the HPL lamp you use is suitable for the
voltage at your facility. 115, 120, 230, and 240 v

olt
HPL lamps are available. Operating lamps above
their rated voltage reduces lamp life and can cause
premature lamp failure.

Improperly installed lamps will cause

premature lamp

and socket failures.

Gel frames and accessories

The MultiPAR does not use gel frame clips. However, both sides of the fixtures have
a bent sheet metal retainer to hold the gel frames in place. One side of the fixture
has a piece of spring steel that serves as a gel frame spring. The spring steel
pushes the gel frame into the MultiPAR. ETC identifies the side of the MultiPAR that
holds the gel frame as the gel frame retaining channel.

Note:

Use only color frames or accessories with 6.7” inside
diameter.

1. Insert the colorframe or accessory by pressing it against the spring. Figure 5

Once the edge of the frame has cleared the retaining channel, allow the edge of
