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 power cord from time to time.

Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the powercord 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.

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 symbol determines the minimum distance from lighted objects. The minimum distance between light-output and the illuminated surface must be more than 1 meter.

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 45° C must never be exceeded.

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 remowing 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 !

Screw "A"

Screw "B"

To insert the lamp open the small cover at the rear panel (see the drawing) by loosening the 2 Phillips screws "A" and "B" on the cover.

Gently pull out the lamp assembly.

If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket. Insert the 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.

Reinsert the lamp assembly and tighten the 2 screws again.

Do not operate this fixture with opened housing-cover!

Lamp adjustment

6

The 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). Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment screws "X, Y, Z". Turn one screw at a time to drag the hot-spot diagonally across the projected image. If you cannot detect a hot-spot, adjust the lamp until the light is even.

To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws "X,Y, Z" clockwise 1⁄4-turn at a time until the light is evenly distributed.

If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if light output is low, the lamp is too far back in the reflector. „Push” the lamp out by turning the screws "X,Y,Z" counterclockwise 1⁄4-turn at a time the light is bright and evenly distributed.

4.2 Inserting/Exchanging rotating gobos

DANGER!

Instal the gobos with the device switched off only.

Unplug from mains before!

Remove the top cover of the scan by loosing the 4 fastening screws.

Remove the fixation-ring with an appropriate tool. Remove the gobo and insert the new gobo. Press the fixa- tion-ring together and insert it in front of the gobo.

CAUTION!

Never unscrew the screws of the rotating gobo as the ball bearing will otherwise be opened!
