SET-UP AND OPERATION

Inspect the unit on arrival and report any damage to the freight carrier immediately.  It is
the responsibility of the consignee, not the shipper, to initiate any damage claims.  Strong
Entertainment Lighting will provide any required shipping records on request.

The four feet of the MiniTracker base are threaded to permit leveling the unit on an uneven
floor.  The leveling feet are adjustable through a two-inch (5cm) range and can be secured
by tightening the locknut provided.

Do not connect the power cord to a receptacle before first installing the metal halide lamp.

The MiniTracker lamphead was designed to use the Philips MSR 1200/2 single-ended
metal halide lamp.  This lamp is not supplied with the unit by Strong Entertainment Light-
ing, and any lamp other then the one noted above must be certified by its manufacturer as
being 100% interchangeable with the specified lamp.

Do not touch the quartz envelope of the metal halide lamp with bare fingers!  Skin oils will
burn into the envelope material and shorten lamp life.  Alway wear clean cloth gloves or
use a clean towel when handling the lamp.  If the envelope is accidentally touched with
bare fingers, remove any fingermarks with alcohol before igniting the lamp.

Dismount the light baffle and front cover of the lamp-
head by removing the three 10-32 truss head screws
and weathertight washers from the front cover ring.
Locate the two-pin ceramic socket behind the para-
bolic reflector.  Insert the lamp into the reflector,
taking care not to scratch the surface of the reflector
with the metal pins.  Seat the lamp pins into the
socket and press the lamp firmly into the socket.
Replace the baffle and front cover; secure all three
screws and their weathertight washers.

Locate the two toggle switches (LAMP and MOTION) on the bottom of the base assembly
and make certain that both are in the OFF positions.  Connect the AC power cord to a
grounded 115 volt AC outlet.  The cooling fans in the lamphead and in the base will start.

Turn the LAMP switch to the ON position, and the lamp will ignite.  Allow three to five
minutes for the metal halide lamp to reach full intensity.  Once ignited, leave the lamp burn
throughout its duty cycle; a metal halide lamp does not readily restart when warm.

Lamp focus is set at  the factory by positioning the depth of the socket in relation to the
parabolic reflector.  This setting should remain unaltered when the correct lamp (noted
previously) is installed.  Manufacturing tolerances between individual lamp however will
require fine adjustment of the lamp position after installation.
