4.0 USE OF THE LANTERN
4.1 Operation
The
DARDO 2000TH
followspot use a tungsten halogen lamp 2000W with base GY16.
It is a medium throw followspot suitable in situation where a discharge lamp is not
required. The advantage of this followspot is the compact size which doesn't requi-
re excessive space during operation.
4.2 Focus
Switch on the followspot using the switch located on the rear side of the lantern. The
focus control knobs are located on the side of the lens tube. The knobs located on
the rear side of the lantern allows to move the lamp longitudinally respect to the
reflecting mirror, optaining in this way the best beam definition.
4.3 Iris diaphragm
The iris diaphragm is located in the central part of the lantern and is fitted with a
lever which is used to reduce the diameter of the spot whilst maintaining the same
light intensity.
We suggest to re-open the iris as soon as the followspot is switched off to obtain an
even cooling of the iris leaves.
4.4 Accessories
The following accessories are available on request:
• Colour frame: to be fitted in the two guide slots on the front of the followspot. High-
temperature resistant colour filter is recommended.
• Gobo holder: to be fitted in the iris diaphragm gate.
• Colour changer: to be fitted on the front part of the followspot. 5 c blackout.
• 4 Shutter blades to modify the beam’ shape
• Tripod stand
5.0 MAINTENANCE
All lanterns require regular maintenance to ensure maximum performance and light output.
Please follow these instructions:
• clean lens and reflector regularly, as even a thin layer of dust can reduce the light
output and scatter the beam;
• replace the lamp if it has become damaged or it's thermally deformed;
• carefully check the electrical connections, particularly the earth connection;
• replace the lenses if they have become visibly damaged;
• replace all the damaged components
