Safety
Warnings
Not for residential use.
CAUTION: Hot Surfaces, Avoid contact by persons or materials.
The SPX has some hot surfaces. Be careful to avoid burns. Take care with the lamphouse
and heat-sink. We suggest the use of leather gloves when focusing these luminaires.
SAFETY – Double Insulated
The SPX range is a Class 2 appliance that is double insulated for increased safety and
lower maintenance. Earth continuity testing is not needed. Refer to page 11 for testing
procedure.
SAFETY - Mains Power Isolation
The SPX range is fitted with a micro-switch that automatically disconnects the mains
power when the lamp holder is removed. However, it is also recommended that the
luminaire should always be electrically isolated from mains power before re-lamping,
cleaning or servicing.
CAUTION: Risk of fire - use with maximum 800W lamp.
CAUTION: These luminaires are not suitable for mounting on a normally flammable
surface.
These luminaires are not suitable for outdoor use. They are rated at IP00.
The luminaire should be at least 1.2 metres/4 ft away from the nearest object it is lighting.
The SPX range can be operated only through a range of angles 90
either side of
horizontal.
Operating
your
Luminaire
for
the
First
Time
Familiarise yourself with the way the shutter and reflector assembly can be rotated by loosening the rotating
clamp (drawing page 9), and turning the assembly. Note how the colour frame is locked into the front of the
lens tube with the front accessory cover.
The SPX provides for mounting 2 pattern holders. Practice inserting them into both the front and rear position
as it is easier to familiarise yourself before rigging the luminaire.
The SPX has a shutter lock. Make sure this is in the unlocked position. Refer P.7
Lamping
Procedure
Remove the lamp module by loosening the
2 locking thumbscrews on the rear. Align
the pins of the new lamp to the holes in the
lamp socket and push the lamp firmly home.
Do not touch the quartz envelope of the
lamp with your fingers. Replace the lamp
module and tighten the locking
thumbscrews. Reconnect the mains power.
Always take great care when making
adjustments to the lamp, as its filament
is fragile. N.B. The mains power supply
is
automatically
disconnected by a microswitch as the
lamp module mount
