SpectraNova 150SE showcase lighting system
Introduction
SCHOTT SpectraNova fibre-optic lighting systems have been developed especially for displays and showcases in shops. They offer some great advantages, such as cold light, a sparkle effect, and the existence of only one lamp to exchange.
The system has been developed with great care and is highly reliable. As with all high-end systems like this, it should be treated with care and certainlimited-steps of maintenance and cleaning are a prerequisite for good performance.
The following instructions explain simple and effective maintenance cleaning and faultfinding measures essential for the system’s operation and warranty.
Note: Failure to perform maintenance cleaning once a month, or any visual abuse or damage voids warranty. Please direct any questions or concerns about maintaining and cleaning your projector to: Gloria Uhler; 877.898.7708
