Warning!

You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture. An HTI-150W high intensity discharge lamp is included.

When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the unit to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement.

Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp with alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.

L A M P I N S T A L L A T I O N

1. Remove screws labeled (S1) and pull out lamp socket plate.

2. If replacing the lamp, remove old lamp first.

3. Holding the new lamp by its base, align the pins on the lamp with the small hole in the socket and insert the lamp squarely until the retaining clips on the lamp socket secure the lamp tightly.

4. Clean the glass/envelope of the bulb with an alcohol wipe or equivalent.

5. Holding the lamp socket plate, insert the tip of the lamp into the fixture with extreme care.

Navigate the lamp all the way until it reaches the reflector and the lamp base plate touches the bottom plate of the fixture.

7. Turn the fixture on and adjust the lamp alignment screws (S2) until the brightest most even area of the beam is in the center of your spot. It may be necessary for you to use a controller in order to command the fixture to display a white beam on a flat surface with no colors.

Maximizing the life of your lamp

To ensure the longest and most efficient use of the lamp always wait between 10 and 15 minutes before re-applying power after a shutdown.

Failure to do so could result in premature aging of the lamp and failure to the electronics that drive it.

Lamp Alignment How-To

Often, after a new installation of a lamp, you will find that there is an uneven field of light or what is referred to as a hot spot. This is due to the most intense point of the lamp source not being positioned optimally within the reflector.

There are three lamp alignment screws S2 provided at the base of the projector head. Turning these screws allow you to optimize the projection quality of the spot as well as the overall intensity of the beam.

S2

1. Project a white spot against any flat surface. Preferably the surface should be white or pastel in color.

2. Turning the lamp alignment screws, try to position the hot spot in the center of the beam as best as possible. This could require many attempts on your part.

3. Once the hot spot is in the center of the spot, do your best to turn all screws equally as to affect movement up or down within the reflector.

4. As you move in and out of optimum lamp focus, you will see the hot spot either gets wider or narrower. The goal is to either totally diminish the hot spot by having it widen and spread across the entire spot or moving the hot spot so that it covers as much of the beam spot area as possible.

Power

Your product is equipped with switch-selectable AC power setting.

Warning! Verify that the power select switch on your unit matches the line voltage applied. All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

•

To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart.

•

A fixture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions.

Slide switch up or down depending on your line voltage.

•

All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.

•

Before applying power to a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixture’s requirement.

•

All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

Mounting

O R I E N T A T I O N

This fixture may be mounted in any position provided there is adequate room for ventilation.

R I G G I N G

Hanging Clamp

It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. Mount the fixture using, a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp. Adjust the angle of the fixture by loosening both knobs and tilting the fixture. After finding the desired position, retighten both knobs. o When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp replacement access and routine maintenance. o Safety cables should always be used.

Note!

Clamp is sold separately.

o Never mount in places where the fixture will be exposed to rain, high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.

Manual Focusing

To adjust the focus, please follow the instructions below.

1) If operating in stand alone mode, turn the music down so that the unit temporarily stops any activity.

2) In DMX control mode, create a static scene with any gobo of your choice pointed to a flat surface, ideally at a half-way point of the fixtures total coverage area.

Rotate the lens gun either clockwise or counterclockwise until the spot is defined by a hard edge.

Fuse Replacement

Disconnect the power cord before replacing a fuse and always replace with the same type fuse.

With a flat head screwdriver wedge the fuse holder out of its housing. Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exact same type fuse. Insert the fuse holder back in its place and reconnect power.

The fuse is located inside this compartment.

Remove using a flat head screwdriver.

Rotate lens gun clockwise and counterclockwise to achieve desired focus.
