Installing the Lamp
The Showtec Parcan 20 Long uses the Par 20 E27 Spot Osram lamp, 50W (ordercode 80118) and the Par
20 E27 Spot Showtec lamp, 50W (ordercode 82100) as manufactured by all popular manufacturers. Use
only the appropriate lamp for your unit.
Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product
specification label for information.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the
device was not designed for.

Procedure:
01) Disconnect the Parcan from power before installing the lamp.
02) Pull the spring lever in the direction of the arrow and remove the rear cover of the lamp (fig. 03 and
fig. 04).

lamp bulb glass. Oil on hands shortens the lamp’s lifespan. If you touch the bulb gla ss, wipe it off with
a clean, lint free towel and rubbing alcohol.
04) Insert the lamp (fig. 05).
05) Replace the rear cover of the lamp (fig. 06). Make sure that the screw at the bottom of the re ar
cover fits in the hole at the bottom of the front cover.

Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and
must not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Parcan 20 Long requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Otherwise, the fixture’s light output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and
then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and
a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light
output very quickly.
