When unpacking and before disposing of the carton check there is no transportation damage before
using the projector. Keep the carton well for future possible transportation. Should there be any
damage caused by transportation, consult your dealer and do not use the apparatus.

The projector is for Indoor use only, IP20. Use only in dry locations. Keep this device away from rain
and moisture, excessive heat, humidity and dust. Do not allow contact with water or any other fluids, or
metallic objects.

SAFE USAGE OF THE PROJECTOR

The projector is not designed or intended to be mounted directly on to inflammable surfaces.

The projector is only intended for installation, operation and maintenance by qualified personnel.

The projector must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 50cm from adjacent
surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.

Do not project the beam onto inflammable surfaces, minimum distance is 3m.

Avoid direct exposure to the light from the lamp. The light is harmful to the eye.

Do not attempt to dismantle and/or modify the projector in any way.

Electrical connection must only be carried out by qualified personnel.

Before installation, ensure that the voltage and frequency of power supply match the power
requirements of the projector.

It is essential that each projector is correctly earthed and that electrical installation conforms to all
relevant standards.

Do not connect this device to any dimmer pack.

Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Never let the power­cord come into contact with other cables. Only handle the power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the
plug by tugging the power-cord.

Keep the lamp clean. Do not touch the lamp glass with bare hand.

The projector should always be installed with a secondary safety fixing. A safety cord is supplied for
this, it should be attached as shown in “installing the projector” section.

The lamp used in this projector is an MSD 250W discharge lamp. After being switched off don’t
attempt to restart the projector until lamp has cooled, this will require approx 15 minutes. Switching the
lamp on and off at short intervals will reduce the life of both the lamp and the projector. But occasional
breaks will prolong the life of the lamp and projector.

Never run the projector without a lamp.

There are no user serviceable parts inside the projector, do not open the housing and never operate
the projector with the covers removed.

3m

Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it
or before attempting any maintenance work.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to consult your dealer or manufacturer.

The projector should be mounted via its
bracket using 2 M12 bolts. The bracket itself
attaches to the underside of the projector
with 4 M8X25 bolts provided. Always ensure
that the projector is firmly anchored to avoid
vibration and slipping whilst functioning.
Always ensure that the structure to which
you are attaching the projector is secure and
is able to support a weight of 20.1Kg for each
PILOT WASH. For safety the projector
should have a secondary fixing with a safety
chain through the holes on the underside of
the unit. You can adjust the screw illustrated
to let the Fresenel lens in or out for
magnifying/lessening the images or
soft/focusing the beams.

WARNING: The projector should NEVER be

lifted or carried by the yoke.

INSTALLING THE PROJECTOR

FITTING THE LAMP

Loosen the 3 access screws at the rear of the projector and pull the lamp access hatch straight out
from the real of the projector. (When changing a lamp, you must let the old lamp cool sufficiently.)
Insert an MSD 250W lamp in the lamp holder.
Reinstall the lamp access hatch, then tighten the 3 access screws.

NOTE: Close the access hatch carefully and re-tighten the 3 screws. 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 (marked A, B, and C) may be gently turned to center the 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 this section to align the lamp.

The MSD series are high pressure lamps with external igniters (
when handling these lamps. Always read the manufacturers "Instructions for use" enclosed with the
lamp.
