4.1Fitting the lamp

DANGER!

Installthe lampswith the deviceswitchedoff only.

Unplugfrom mainsbefore !

To insert the lamp MSD 250 or MSD 250/2 open the top cover of the head (see the drawings to identify which

cover is top) by loosening the 4 Phillips screws on the front and rear sides of the top cover.Then open the

small lamp cover by loosening 3 fastening screws (see the drawing).If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp

from the socket.Insert the lamp to the socket.Do not install a lamp with a higher wattage! A lamp like this

generates temperatures the device is not designed for.Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to

warranty.Pleasefollow the lamp manufacturer‘s notes!Do not touch the glass-bulb bare hand during the

installation! Make sure that the lamp is installed tightly into the lampholder system.

Adjusttheoptimaldistance1-1.5 mmfromthelensby turning

4.2 Lamp adjustment

Correct Incorrect

The SPOT 250 XT lampholder is aligned at the factory.Due to differences between lamps, fine adjustment may

improvelight performance.

Strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface (wall). As the optimum distance of lamp from lens was

adjusted during the installing or changing the lamp (by turning the screw "A"), it is necessary to adjust only the

second position by turning the screw "B", in order to center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam).

If the hot- spot seems to be too bright, you can lower its intensity by moving the lamp closer to the reflector. Do

so by turning srew "A" until the light is evenly distributed.

Ifthe light onthe edge seemsto be brighter as inthe center, the lamp istoo close atthe reflector.In thiscase, you

need to move the lamp away from the reflector until the light is evenly distributed and the beam appears bright

enough.

4.3 Installation of an optional lens

The device is delivered with a 15°-standard lens. If you wish to insert an optional 12° or 18°-lens (it is not the

standard part of delivery), please follow the instructions below:

Optional 12°-lens:

Remove the fixation-ring of the 15°-lens with an appropriate tool. Remove the lens. Install the optional 12°-lens

and fix it with the fixation-ring.

Keep optimum distance to lens

Optimum distance 1 - 1,5mm

Screw "A"

Screw "B"

15°- lens optional 12°- lens

Optional 18°-lens:

Unscrew the knurled-head screw on the plate of the light-output. Install the optional 18°-lens and fix it with the

knurled-headscrew.

4.4 Inserting/Exchanging gobos

DANGER!

Installthe goboswith the deviceswitchedoff only.

Unplugfrommainsbefore!

To insert the gobos open the top cover of the head by loosening the 4 Phillips screws on the front and rear sides

of the top cover.

ring together and insert it in the front of the gobo.

4.5 Rigging the fixture

Dangerof fire !

Wheninstalling thedevice, makesure thereis nohighly inflammable

material(decoration articles,etc.) inbetween a distanceof min. 0,5m.

Warning ! Use 2 clampsto rig thefixture on the truss.

Followthe instructionsmentionedat thebottom ofthebase.

Makesure that thedevice isfixedproperly! Ensurethat

thestructure (truss) towhich you areattaching the fixturesis secure.

The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1

hourwithout anyharming deformation.

The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g.an appropriate catch net.This

secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the

main attachment fails.

Whenrigging, derigging orservicing the fixture stayingin the areabelow the installation place,on bridges, under

highworking placesand other endangeredareas isforbidden.

Themoving-head can be placed directlyon the stage floor orrigged in any orientation on a truss without altering

itsoperation characteristics (see thedrawing).

You canfix the Spot250 XT ona truss via 2Omega holders orusing the mountingplate(it is notthe standard part

of delivery) or screw the clamps directly to the 2 holes (5) in the base.

For overhead use, always install a safety-rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.You must

only use safety-ropes with screw-on carabines.Pull the safety-rope through the two apertures on the bottom of

the base and over the trussing system etc.Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the fixation screw.

Fixation via Omega holders

1.Bolt each clamp (1) to the omega holder (4) with M12 bolt and lock nut through the hole in the holder.

2.Fasten the omegaholders on the bottomof the base byinsertingboth quick-lockfasteners(3) into theholes of

the base and tighten fully clockwise.

3.Fasten the safety-rope (2) through the two apertures on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system.
