Setup & Operation

Unpacking

Unpack the fixture and carefully inspect for any signs of physical damage. Report any damage to Wildfire or your local distributor immediately. Included with each unit should be the following items:

1. Pipe mounting clamp, designed to attach the fixture to a 11/2” to 2” pipe truss

2. Safety Cable, Provided to secure the fixture when mounted on a pipe truss

3. Wildfire IronArc Lamp, Model LMP-400D

Before mounting the fixture you will need to install the lamp refer to Lamp Replacement on page 6 for correct installation.

Installation

After installing the lamp place the fixture in desired location the fixture is equipped with a yoke assembly for mounting. The yoke may be fitted with either a pipe clamp (included) for mounting on a pipe truss or a baby bail block or junior pin for mounting on a light stand.

If the fixture is mounted on a pipe truss be sure to use the included safety cable looping it through the yoke assembly and around the pipe truss this will prevent the fixture from falling and possibly causing injury in the event that the pipe clamp was not securely tightened.

To adjust the angle of the fixture loosen the knobs on either side of the unit slightly, rotate to desired angle and tighten. Care should be taken to support the front of the fixture while loosening the knobs to prevent the fixture from rotating forward and possibly causing injury.

The fixture comes standard with a 10” Bracket assembly for attaching dowsers and scrollers such as Wybron’s Eclipse or Coloram Series as well as barndoors and other accessories. When using accessories with this fixture be sure to attach the safety cable provided by the accessory manufacturer to the fixtures yoke assembly.

Plug the fixture into the appropriate power source. If you are controlling the unit with a lighting control board you will need to make sure it is plugged into a non-dim circuit if the fixture is plugged into a dimmable circuit it will not operate.

Operation Electronic Ballast

To strike the fixture push the power/breaker switch to the on position Allow at least 2 minutes for the lamp to get to full brightness. Once the fixture has been powered up and the lamp has ignited if you shut it off and try to turn it back on the hot re-strike prevention circuitry in the ballast will prevent the lamp from striking until it is completely cooled (approximately 5 minutes). If the power/breaker switch is left in the on position during this cool down period the ballast will simply wait until the lamp is cool then strike automatically. The ballast is also equipped with automatic lamp failure protection circuitry that shuts the fixture down if the lamp should fail for any reason, preventing any damage to the components. In addition the ballast is equipped with high temperature protection circuitry that shuts the fixture down if the ballast case temperature exceeds 85 C when the fixture cools it will strike again automatically. If your fixture is equipped with DMX control you can switch the fixture on or off via a DMX 512 signal by setting the DMX address switch on the back of the fixture to the desired address (001 to 512). Once the fixture receives a DMX 512 data signal above 50% (127-255) the lamp will ignite. If the data signal falls below 50% (0-126) the lamp will extinguish. Setting the DMX address on the fixture to 601 bypasses the DMX control and allows you to switch the fixture on or off manually. The DMX input connector pin configuration is: Common Pin 1, Data Minus Pin 2, and Data Plus Pin 3. The lamp timer on the fixture counts the number of hours the fixture is on. The timer will only operate when the fixtures power switch is in the on position. This is used to determine when the lamp needs replacing. Wildfire recommends replacing the lamp every 1000 hours for maximum effect. The timer will automatically reset to zero upon reaching 9999:59:59. To reset it manually depress the small button on the timer.

Operation Magnetic Ballast

To strike the fixture turn the power/breaker switch to the on position Allow at least 2 minutes for the lamp to get to full brightness. Once the fixture has been powered up and the lamp has ignited if you shut it off you will need to wait approximately 5 minutes to allow the lamp to cool before the fixture can re-strike. If the power/breaker switch is left in the on position during this cool down period the fixture will simply wait until it is cool then strike automatically. This is not recommended however since it is hard on the ignitor.

The fixture is equipped with a lamp timer that counts the number of hours the fixture is on. The timer will only operate when the fixtures power switch is turned on. This is used to determine when the lamp needs replacing. Wildfire recommends replacing the lamp every 1000 hours for maximum effect. The timer will automatically reset to zero upon reaching 9999:59:59. If you need to reset it manually depress the small button on the timer.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Lamp Replacement

Unplug the fixture. Remove any accessories from the front. Make sure the fixture is cool to the touch before opening the front lens assembly cover. Unhook the clasps on either side of the fixture allowing the front lens assembly cover to swing down. Grasp the lamp in the center remove it by pushing it gently to one side sliding the other end forward. Reverse this procedure to install the new lamp. After installing gently rock the new lamp back and forth to insure the depressions on the ends of the lamp are firmly seated on the posts of the sockets. If the lamp is not firmly seated arcing could occur melting both the socket and lamp. Care should be taken not to touch the new lamp directly use a cloth or glove when handling if you have touched the lamp it must be cleaned with alcohol to remove any oils and fingerprints prior to striking. For maximum UV -A output always use Wildfire IronArc™ lamps, and change the lamp in your fixture every 1000 hours.

Cleaning

For best performance, the reflector, lamp and filter lens should be kept free of dirt and dust. At no time should any cleaning chemicals or abrasives be used to clean any part of the fixture. Do not spray or apply any liquid directly to any part of the fixture. Always unplug the unit before cleaning. For normal cleaning, a dry soft cloth should be used to wipe any surface free from dust and light dirt. Cleaning the reflector will require that the lamp be removed. Remove the lamp by following the instructions listed under lamp replacement above. Once the lamp has been removed, gently wipe off the reflector using a soft dry cloth. In the event the reflector is heavily soiled, lightly dampen the cloth with a mild window cleaning agent and wipe clean. The filter lens can be cleaned in the same manner. The lamp should be cleaned with alcohol only.

Troubleshooting

Other than the lamp, there are no user serviceable parts in the fixture. The fixture will not light – Check to make sure there is power to the unit. Make sure the power/breaker switch on the back of the fixture has not been tripped. Unplug the unit. Open the front lens cover and check to see if the unit has a lamp installed and that it is seated properly in the sockets (see lamp replacement above). Check to see if the safety cutoff switch is making contact by closing the lens cover and listening for a clicking sound. If the unit still is not lighting try replacing the lamp. If you have checked all of the above and the fixture still won’t light contact Wildfire or your local distributor.

The fixture turns on and off – Check to see that the lamp is seated properly in the sockets (see lamp replacement above). If the lamp is seated properly and the fixture is still turning on and off the lamp may be bad try replacing the lamp. If the fixture is still not working properly contact Wildfire or your local distributor.

The effect is not working anymore – Try changing the lamp. The lamp in your Wildfire fixture is rated at 1000 hours. This does not necessarily mean that the lamp will “burn out” or not light after 1000 hours it may continue to burn for much longer period of time however the amount of UV it produces will be reduced considerably causing the effect to appear as though it isn’t working. Wildfire recommends for maximum effect to change the lamp every 1000 hours.
