Open the lamp access hatch at the rear of the pr ojector by undoing the 2 access screws as shown above.
Insert an HTI 150W/DX lamp in the lamp holder. Close the access hatch carefully and retighten the 2 access
screws.

NOTE: To optimize light output it will be necessary to adjust the lamp alignment to obtain an even distribution

of light within the beam. The three screws (ma rked A, B, an d C) may be g ently t urned to ce nter th e lamp within
the reflector. The projector should be switched on with the shutter open and the beam focused to do this, it is
also advisable to allow the lamp 5 minutes to come up to full brightness before starting to align it. Note: the three
screws will only need a small adjustment to centre the lamp, do not try to unscrew them completely. Read the
rest of this manual and then come back to thi s section to align the lamp.

The HTI series are high pressure lamps with external igniters . Care should always be taken when handling
these lamps. Always read the manufacturers "Instructions for use" enclosed with the lamp.
