Installation
Installing the Lamp
The Showtec Phantom uses the MSD 250 (ordercode 80920P / 80920O / 80933O / 82603 / 80935)
reflectorbulb as manufactured by all popular manufacturers. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.
Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product
specification label for information.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage
! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the
device was not designed for.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
Procedure :
1.
Loosen the 2 screws on the back of the housing.
2.
Gently remove the small metal housing.
3.
Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass. (See Figure 3.)
Oil on hands shortens the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off the glass with a clean, lint-free
towel and rubbing alcohol.).
4.
Insert the lamp pins into the small holes in the lamp socket. You can adjust the distance between the
lamp and the lens on the back of the cover.
5.
Put the lamp cover back and fasten the screws snugly. Then put the plastic housing back and fasten
the screws snugly.

Lamp Adjustment
You can adjust the lamp’s position by turning the screws A, B, C.
The lamp position is set in the factory. As the lamps, which can be used, differ from manufacturer to
manufacturer, it can be necessary to readjust the position. The lamp must be readjusted e.g., if the light
does not seem to be evenly distributed within the ray of light.
Ignite the lamp and focus the ray of light on an even surface (wall). As the optimal distance between the
lamp and the lens was already set during the installation with screw "A", only the "Hot Spot" ( the brightest
part of the ray of light) must be centered. Turn in addition screw "B". If the Hot Spot appears too bright,
you can weaken its intensity, by moving the lamp closer to the reflector. Turn in addition screw "A", until
the light is evenly distributed. If the light at the outside edge of the ray of light appears brighter as in the
center, the lamp is too close to the reflector. In this case move the lamp away from the reflector, until the
light is evenly distributed and the ray of light appears bright enough.
