IV - CHANGING THE LAMP
2
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PROJECTOR BEFORE
OPENING OR DISMANTLING
Bear in mind that these Followspots operate with metal
halide lamps that emit UV radiation, and therefore can
explode when hot. Therefore, we strongly advise you to
allow the lamp to cool before replacing it.
Calibrate the lamp when it is hot, that is at least 4/5
minutes after ignition. Lamp calibration can be carried
out by using adjusting screws 8. The lamp must be
calibrated by checking that the luminous spot is uniform
by using knob 4 and simultaneously adjusting the
lamp's position in the mirror 8.
Always check that the mains voltage corresponds to the
one indicated on the label affixed on the projector or on
the relevant ballast before switching on the luminaire,
and that the colour codes have been conformed to if
you have mounted or replaced the power supply plug.
(blue = neutral; yellow/green = earthing). To ignite the
projector, switch on the general safety circuit breaker of
the ballast and press the relevant ON button for no
longer than 2 seconds. If the projector is not ignited, do
not insist. Switch off the general switch and repeat the
whole procedure after about 10 seconds. Take great
care since high voltage is present in the projector
during lamp ignition. When a new projector is switched
on, a thin thread of smoke might come out from the
ventilation openings: this is due to drying of any grease
residue left from working and/or coating and is
absolutely not hazardous. We recommend that the first
ignition last for no longer than 15 minutes max. so as to
allow the paint to dry and to favour extended
component life
V - LAMP CALIBRATION
VI - OPERATION
For utmost optical yield, the lens and mirror head must
be regularly cleaned. Always remember to disconnect
the projector from the mains and allow the lamp to cool
before proceeding to any cleaning or servicing. For
safety reasons check that all the electrical parts are well
insulated and that the mechanical parts are intact.
SWITCH OFF THE PROJECTOR IMMEDIATELY IF A
LENS IS BROKEN OR MISSING
VIII - MAINTENANCE
Widening or narrowing of the luminous beam (zoom
and focus) is carried out by co-ordinated shifting of the
lever 4 situated on the right side of the projector which
controls motion of the lenses' guides. The width of the
luminous beam can be controlled further by means of
lever 7, which controls shutter aperture/closure (also
allowing for total blacking out). By means of levers 5
part of the luminous beam can be blacked out, while the
entire shutter-blade holding unit can be rotated by
means of lever 7. If a colour changer or gobo is
mounted please consult the relevant instructions
