SAFE USAGE OF THE PROJECTOR

When unpacking and before disposing of the carton check there is no transportation damage before
using the projector. 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.

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

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

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. 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.

The projector should always be installed with a secondary safety fixing. A safety cord is supplied for
this, it should be attached as shown.

The lamp used in this projector is an HTI 150W/DX 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.

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.

Open the lamp access hatch at the rear of the projector 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 (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 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.
