1. Safety instructions
Every person involved with installation and maintenance of this device have to:
- be qualilfied
- follow the instructions of this manual
CAUTION!
Be careful with your operations. With a high voltage you can suffer
a dangerous electric shock when touching the wires!
This device has left our premises in absolutely perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this manual.
Important:
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of this manual or any unauthorized modification to the device.
Please consider that damages caused by manual modifications to the device are not subject to warranty.
Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables! Handle the power-cord and all connections with the mains with particular caution!
Always plug in the power plug least. The power-plug has to be accessable after installing the device.
Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Check the device and the power­cord from time to time.
Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord.
This device falls under protection class I. Therefore it is essential to connect the yellow/green conductor to earth.
The electric connection, repairs and servicing must be carried out by a qualified employee. Do not connect this device to a dimmer pack.
Do not switch the fixture on and off in short intervals as this would reduce the lamp’s life.
During the initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and does not necessarily mean that the device is defective.
Do not touch the device’s housing bare hands during its operation (housing becomes hot)! For replacement use lamps and fuses of same type and rating only.
CAUTION ! EYEDAMAGES !
Avoid looking directly into the light source
(meant especially for epileptics) !

2. Operating determinations
This device was designed for indoor use only.
If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.
When taking the device into operation, please make sure that the housing is closed firmly with all the necessary screws tightened up.
Never run the device without lamp!
Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
When choosing the installation-spot, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust. There should not be any cables lying around. You endanger your own and the safety of others!
The minimum distance between light-output and the illuminated surface must be more than 0,8 m.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture.
Always fix the fixture with an appropriate safety-rope. Fix the safety-rope at the correct holes only.
Only operate the fixture after having checked that the housing is firmly closed and all screws are tightly fastened.
The lamp must never be ignited if the objective-lens or any housing-cover is open, as discharge lamps may explose and emit a high ultraviolet radiation, which may cause burns.
The maximum ambient temperature ta = 45° C must never be exceeded. Otherwise, the lamp is switched off and the fixture is out of operation for 5 minutes.
CAUTION!
The lens has to be replaced when it is obviously damaged,
so that its function is impaired, e. g. due to cracks or deep scratches!
Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
CAUTION!
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged
or deformed due to the heat!
Wait at least 15 minutes before removing the lamp.
Please use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons!
If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like short­circuit, burns, electric shock, burns due to ultraviolet radiation, lamp explosion, crash etc.

4. Installation
4.1Fitting/Exchanging the lamp
DANGER !
Install the lamps with the device switched off only.
Unplug from mains before !
To insert the lamp (MSD 250 GY-9,5 or MSD 250/2, GY-9,5) open the housing by loosening the fastening screws at the side panels and by removing the focus-screw and zoom-screw. If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. Insert the new lamp to the socket. Do not install a lamp with a higher wattage! A lamp like this generates temperatures the device is not designed for. Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty. Please follow the lamp manufacturer‘s notes! Do not touch the glass-bulb bare hands during the installation! Make sure that the lamp is installed tightly into the lampholder system. Adjust the optimal distance 1-1.5 mm from the lens by turning the screw „A“ (see the drawings „Lamp adjustment“ below). Replace the housing cover and tighten the screws.
Do not operate this fixture with opened housing-cover!
4.2 Lamp adjustment
Correct Incorrect
The BEAM 250 XT lampholder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, fine adjustment may improve light performance. Strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface (wall). As the optimum distance of lamp from lens was adjusted during the installing or changing the lamp (by turning the screw „A“), it is necessary to adjust only the second position by turning the screw „B“, in order to center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam). If the Hot Spot seems to be too bright, you can lower its intensity by moving the lamp closer to the reflector. Do so by turning srew „A“ until the light is evenly distributed. If the light on the edge seems to be brighter as in the center, the lamp is too close at the reflector. In this case, you need to move the lamp away from the reflector until the light is evenly distributed and the beam appears bright enough.
Keep optimum distance to lens!
Screws „A” Screws „B”
Optimum distance 1 - 1,5mm
