Installation 

 

Installing the Lamp 

The Showtec Titan Strobe uses the PX-1500 (ordercode 82690) lightbulb 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. 
DANGEROUS: Leave the device disconnected for 15 min before opening. Otherwise you could be  
                          seriously injured due to a power shock  !!! 

 

Procedure : 

 

1.

 Disconnect from main power supply, and leave for 15 minutes.  

2.

 Remove the glass cover. With the left hand gently pull the lamp out the spring, while pushing the spring   

    back with the right hand.  

3. 

Remove the lamp. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass. 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.)  
    Hold the lamp with one hand and Insert the lamp into the spring. Put the glass cover back. 
 
 

Set Up and Operation 

Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your preferred operation mode. 
Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification 
voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa. 
 

1. 

Plug the power cable into the wall.

 

2. 

Connect a DMX controller to the Titan Strobe, using a 3-pin XLR cable.  

3. 

Connect every unit with a 3-pin XLR cable. Every unit is set to the same DMX work mode and  

    the received DMX addresses are the same. When a DMX signal is received, the devices function  
    synchronously. 

4.

 Please follow the dip switch setting and operating mode for the desired lighting effect (see page 7).
