Installing the Lamp
The Showtec Parcan 56 Long uses the Par 56 GX16d NSP GE lamp, 300W (ordercode 80102), the GE Par
56 GX16d MFL GE, 300W (ordercode 80103), the Philips Par 56 GX16d Philips, 300W (ordercode 80103P),
the GE Par 56 GX16d WFL GE, 300W (ordercode 80104), the Philips Par 56 GX16d Phi lip s, 300W (ordercode
80104P). 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 of higher wattage! Lamps of higher wattage generate temperatures which the
device was not designed for.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
Procedure:
01) Disconnect the Parcan from power before installing the lamp.
02) Pull the fixation screw and remove the rear cover (fig. 03).
03) Remove the fixation ring.
04) Remove the lamp from the box and hold it by the base. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the
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 (fig. 04 ).
05) Pull out the lamp holder and insert the lamp (fig. 05).
06) Replace the fixation ring (fig. 06).

Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every year 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 56 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.
Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.
Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before supplying electric power.
