locked in place with a safety lock on the top of the fresnel as pictured in Figure 12. In order to
unlock this lock and remove the barndoors, simply pull up on the lock and swing it over to one
side so it no longer attaches to the barndoor. Then just slide the barndoor up and out of the
accessory holders. There is a ring around the barndoor where it attaches to these holders to
allow rotating the barndoors 360 degrees around. This is useful in the light streak effects
mentioned earlier to get an angle on the streak of light on the wall. When closing the
barndoors for storage or shipping, the side flaps close first then the upper and lower fold over
the top of the side flaps.
Fixture transport
. When transporting the fixture, its best to take the delicate and fragile
bulb out if there is even the slightest chance of the fixture not being well protected from bumps
and mishaps.
Warning.
Wait until the bulb is well cooled down before moving the fresnel around or trying to
take it out of the socket. The bulb can be damaged during transport of the fresnel so wait until
cool and remove the bulb and store in a secure carrying case. Serious burns or injury can
result from touching the hot bulb during its cool-down period!
Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting any problem, always start with the simplest possibilities and work
forward to the more complex ones as you exhaust each scenario. Start with the power plug
and make sure it is not only securely plugged into the wall and the IEC plug adapter. The lamp
head to ballast connector as well should be securely plugged into the CDM 70 ballast. After
that, make sure you have the bulb securely fastened into the G12 socket and are working
within the suggested optimum operating temperatures of 60ºF and 125ºF (15ºC to 51ºC).
There is no fan in the ballast so it is highly recommended not to use it in overly hot conditions
for a long period of time.
If all trouble shooting options are exhausted, then you most likely have developed a bad
switch, ballast or socket. If the unit is still in warranty, you will need to acquire an RMA from
so the defective unit can be returned and repaired or replaced.
