INTRODUCTION
Followspot fitted with single-ended metal halide lamp.
220V-50 Hz power supply by means of relevant ballast.
It can be mounted with colour changer on the front.
The luminaire you have bought complies to 2006/95/EC,
2004/108/EC and 2011/65/EU European Directives.
The label located on the side of the luminaire contains
the following information:
• model
• maximum supply voltage in (V)
• maximum power of the luminaire (W)
• the index of IP protection
• maximum admitted temperature of the
environment (°C)
• maximum temperature of the luminaire body in °C
• minimum distance from any inflammable surface
• information to find the 0° position of the luminaire:
when the tip of the arrow points upwards
• maximum angle of inclination upwards and
downwards. These limits, imposed by the lamp
manufacturer, should not be exceeded as they would
reduce the luminaire’s useful life or lead to its
deterioration.
INSTALLATION
The luminaire is usually mounted on a stand.
WARNING!
DO NOT INSTALL THE LUMINAIRE ON FLAMMABLE
SURFACES, AND MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM DISTANCE
INDICATED ON THE LABEL.
Remove the luminaire from the package and mount
it on the support, then mount the colour changer, if
foreseen. Now open the top door
②
to access the
lamp-holder base. With the aid of knob
④
, make the
mirror head advance completely in order to install the
lamp. Mount the relevant lamp, bearing in mind that
this can be damaged by contact with skin or with other
greasy and/or oily substances. Return the mirror head
to its previous position and shut the top door.
Connect the Followspot (by means of the cord al ready
mounted) to the ballast and connect the latter to the
mains supply in compliance with the safety standards
in force.
CHANGING THE LAMP
WARNING!
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE LUMINAIRE BEFORE
OPENING OR DISMANTLING.
Remember that these Followspots operate with metal
halide lamps that emit UV radiation, and which can
explode when hot. Therefore, it is strongly advisable to
wait for the lamp to cool before replacing it.
Only use lamps of the power and model described. The
luminaire is also provided with a time meter
⑪
which
must be used to check the actual running time of each
lamp. In fact, once the maximum lamp life estimated
by the lamp manufacturer is reached, the lamp must be
replaced even if it is still working.
CONTINUING TO USE THE LAMP AFTER EXPIRY OF ITS
NOMINAL LIFE GREATLY INCREASES THE RISK OF IT TO
EXPLODE.
LAMP CALIBRATION
Calibrate the lamp when it is hot, that is at least 4/5
minutes after ignition.
Lamp calibration can be carried out by using the
adjusting screws
⑨
. The lamp must be calibrated
by checking that the luminous spot is uniform, but
using knob
④
and simultaneously adjusting the lamp
position in the mirror.
OPERATION
Always check that the mains voltage corresponds
to the one indicated on the label affixed on the
luminaire or on the relevant ballast before switching
on the luminaire, and that the colour code has been
conformed to if you have mounted or replaced the
power supply plug.
