2.Operating determinations
This device is a moving-head spot for creating decorative effects and was designed for indoor use only.
If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature uctuation (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.
Never run the device without lamp!
Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device.
Never lift the xture by holding it at the projector-head, as the mechanics may be damaged. Always hold the
xture at the transport handles.
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 1.3 meters.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the xture.
Always x the xture with an appropriate safety rope. Fix the safety rope at the correct holes only.
Only operate the xture after having checked that the housing is rmly closed and all screws are tightly fas-
tened.
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 must never be exceeded. Otherwise, the lamp is switched off and the
xture 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
qualied 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!
Please use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
Please consider that unauthorized modications 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 the lamp
DANGER !
Install the lamps with the device switched off only.
Unplug from mains before !
To insert the lamp , open the top cover of the projector head by loosening the 4 screws on the cover.
Then open the small lamp cover by loosening 3 fastening screws (see the drawing).
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 with 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 adjust-
ment” below) on the rear panel of the head.
Then close the small lamp cover by tighten 3 fastening screws again.
Reclose the top cover of the head and tighten the 4 fastening screws.
Before striking the lamp, reset the “LAti/rSEt” and “LASt/rSEt”counters in the “InFO” menu on the control

4.2 Lamp adjustment
The lampholder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, ne adjustment may improve light
performance.
Strike the lamp, cancel all effects, open the shutter and set the dimmer intensity onto 100 % and focus the light
on a at surface (wall) or use function “LAAd” in the Special functions . As the optimum distance of the 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 reector. Do
so by turning the 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 reector. In this case,
you need to move the lamp away from the reector until the light is evenly distributed and the beam appears
bright enough.
4.3 Installation of an optional lens
The device is delivered with a 15°-standard lens. If you wish to insert an optional 12° or 18°-lens (it is not the
standard part of delivery), please follow the instructions below:
Optional 12°-lens:
Remove the xation-ring of the 15°-lens with an appropriate tool. Remove the lens. Install the optional 12°-lens
