When you turn the VR on
When you connect the power, the display will show

ABSTRACT
VR
will scroll across. The display will show
INI
until the VR has completed
its initialisation sequence, which takes about 10 seconds. You may hear some
bumping noises as the VR checks the limits of movement on the motors.
The VR8 lamp will take about 60 seconds from turn-on before it reaches full
brightness..
If you turn the VR8 off, you should leave it for about 15 minutes to allow the
lamp to cool before turning it on again. The discharge lamp will not restrike
while it is hot.
Positioning note for the VR8
Although the VR8 can be positioned in any orientation, the Arcstream lamp is
intended to be used pointing upwards, so you should try to have the mirror at
the top of the unit. The lamp emits a yellower light when it is pointed
downwards.
Maintenance of your VR
The VR has a usage timer which can help you determine when it needs
servicing. The VR should only require external cleaning. Ensure that all
ventilation grilles are kept free of dust and fluff to keep the fan cooling
working efficiently. The VR has an internal thermal trip which may cut out if
the cooling vents are obstructed.
To change the lamp in the unit, first disconnect the mains cable and remove
any DMX connections. Remove the back housing (the part with the display
on) by taking out the two hex-head bolts at the edges of the back moulding.
The lamp can be withdrawn by removing the two outer screws from the
circular plate in the internal metal panel. The VR8 has another three screws in
the circular plate which are for aligning the lamp in the reflector. You should
not need to adjust these unless you change the lamp.
You should not attempt to dismantle any other part of the VR.
