X24 PROJECTOR ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION TO YOUR X24 PROJECTOR
Congratulations on your purchase of the Rosco Laboratories X-24 Projector. (Also known as the X-Effects).
This modular projector is intended to provide a range of unique lighting effects with high brightness in a compact package.
These effects include, but are not limited to, light reflecting off water and fire of varying intensities.
A variety of lenses provide a wide range of beam angles suitable for any situation. In reality, the effects are limited only by your imagination.

WARNINGS
The light beam near the front of the unit (< 1m / 3.3 ft.) is very concentrated.
Make sure that no object or person comes into the light beam at this range as burns or fire may result.
The top lid of the unit may become hot to the touch during operation. Contact during or immediately following operation may result in burns.
The lamp is subject to high temperatures and pressures during operation. Do not attempt to operate unit with lid open. Also do not attempt to handle lamp within 1 hour of operation.
High voltages are produced when the unit attempts to strike the lamp. Only apply power to the unit when a lamp is attached properly seated in the unit, and the lid is closed.
High voltages and stored energy are present inside the unit. Only trained service personnel should engage in repairs or replacements beyond the modules or lamp.
At very cold temperatures the lamp may need to warm up close to room temperature before it will properly strike.
The use of a safety cable is strongly recommended when hung overhead. Also make sure not to block the top, bottom, or rear vents when mounted during operation.
Ventilation openings are not to be obstructed during the operation of the appliance.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children shall be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
