LAMP (RE)PLACEMENT
In case of replacement of the lamp or maintenance, do not open the fixture within
10 minutes until the unit cools down after switching off. Always unplug the unit
before servicing! Always use the same type of spare parts (bulbs, fuses, etc.) When
replacing parts, please only genuine spare parts.
•
Unplug the mains cable.
•
Wait for about 10 minutes until the unit has been cooled down.
•
Unscrew the knob that closes the lamp compartment of the
fixture and open de top of the enclosure.
•
On the inside you will see the lamp socket. Tear the lamp
socket gently out of the lamp compartment.
•
Unplug the old lamp. Hold the lamp socket while unplugging
the lamp instead of pulling the cable!
•
Hold the lamp socket while pressing the new lamp gently in the
socket.
Attention!
Check the label on the backside of the device or
see the technical specifications in this manual to know which
lamp should be used. Never install lamps with a higher
wattage! Lamps with higher wattage generate temperatures
the device was not designed for. If the device uses a lamp
transformer, it will burn due to current overload.
•
Don’t touch the bulb inside the reflector of the lamp with bare
hands! This drastically shortens the lifespan of the lamp. If you
touched the lamp, clean it with a cloth and a little denatured
alcohol. Wipe the lamp off before installing.
•
Put the new lamp back inside the unit. Be sure that the wires don’t touch the lamp.
•
Close the lamp compartment.
•
Done!
OVERHEAD RIGGING
Best installation distance:
A projection distance of +/- 5 meters from the wall is perfect. From
this distance the projection will cover an area of 3.7 m x 3.7 m.
•
Important:
The installation must be carried out by qualified
service personal only. Improper installation can result in
serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead
rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits
should be respected, certified installation materials should
be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly
for safety.
•
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from
unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
•
Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed
at least 50cm
from surrounding walls.
•
The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or
be seated.
•
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the
device’s weight.
•
Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the
unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can
drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
•
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
•
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
•
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved
by an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a
skilled person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

input/output jacks on the back of each unit. If you like you can connect a CA-8 controller to the first unit
in the line.
•
Regular breaks during operation are essential to maximize the life of this device as it is not designed for
continual use.
•
Do not switch the unit on and off in short time intervals as this reduces the lamp life.
•
The units’ surface temperature may reach up to 85°C. Don’t touch the housing with bare-hands during
its operation.
