Safety glass and colour filters made of glass strips
The glass is cut into sheets so it can resist high temperatures. These
sheets are held in place by strips of special adhesive tape; do not
unstick them. The filter used is inserted into the filter frame with
integral guard(CAD/PF/ACG). Make sure that the sheets are placed
vertically to obtain the best performance from the spotlight. The wire
guard must always be mounted in front of the glass filter to prevent
pieces of glass from falling. Then close the metal hook placed at the
bottom of the frame. Insert the upper part of the filter frame into the
upper slider of the spotlight. Then close the bottom of the frame on
the spotlight and secure it with the screw. Finally check the safety
cable.
Compact holder for gelatine filters.
This holder enables you to use gelatine filters on ACV spotlights. The
lifetime of these filters is +/- 50 hours. The gel frame is supplied with
fixing screws and caged nuts. Inside the spotlight, press the caged
nuts into the square holes provided for this purpose. The nuts are
fixed rapidly and cannot fall out again. Place the compact holder in
the side mounting lugs and secure the holder using the 3 screws
provided. Open the filter frame by lifting up the bolt and insert the
colour filter. The filter will shrink slightly due to the heat; we therefore
advise you to cut it slightly larger than the holders themselves.
Remark:
The compact holder may be fixed on all ACV spotlights, whatever the
mounting configuration: ACV 1001, 1002, 1003 or 1004.
Mounting the accessories for the ACP series
Consult the possible mountings on page 13 and the list of accessories
available on pages 14 and 15.
Horizontal and vertical barn doors
The horizontal barn door is placed on the lower edge of the spotlight.
The barn doors are supplied with fixing screws and caged nuts. On
the outside of the spotlight, press the caged nuts into the square
holes provided for this purpose. The nuts are fixed rapidly and will not
fall out again. Insert the mounting plate of the barn doors into the two
lugs situated on the side faces and on the lower face of the spotlight.
Fold the barn doors over the front face of the spotlight for easy
access to the fixing screws. Secure the barn doors using the screw
by turning it a quarter turn.
Wire guard
Insert the two lugs of the grid support into the mounting runners. Fold
the base of the guard to the inside of the spotlight and tighten the
fixing screws.
Placement of the lamp
In accordance with the safety regulations, ALWAYS disconnect the
power cable before working on the spotlight. If the spotlight has just
been used, leave it to cool for a while or wear gloves offering thermal
protection. For the type of lamp to use, here is the description;
Socket type R7s.
Length: 189.1 mm.
Supply voltage: 220-240 V.
Power: 625, 1000 or 1250 W.
Remove the guard and/or the protective glass so you can access the
socket from the front. Place the lamp in its socket.
Replace the guard and the safety glass. So as not to spoil the lamp
with greasy deposits, please handle it without touching the glass part
of the lamp. If this is not possible, please clean the lamp, after
placement, using a clean, lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol.
Refer to the manufacturer’s datasheet supplied with the lamp. The
lamp must be replaced if it has been damaged or deformed by the
heat.
Electricity supply
Your spotlight has been designed to operate at a maximum voltage
of 220/240 V. It must be connected to the mains by a 3-core silicon
power cable; each core must have a minimum cross section of
1.5 mm
2
. Consult the local regulations in force. The insulation of the
electricity cable must withstand the normal maximum operating
temperature indicated on the identification plate. For your safety,
make sure that the earth wire (green/yellow) is ALWAYS connected
to the mains earth. Refer to figure 3 page 10 for instructions to
replace a faulty power cable.
Unscrew the two screws at the back of the spotlight and remove the
perforated protective plate to access the terminal strip for the
electricity supply. Pass the cable through the protective rubber
sleeve and expose the extremity of the 3 conductors. Then insert the
cable into the cable grip. Connect the earth wire (yellow/green) to the
earth terminal and connect the other two wires to the terminal strip.
Immobilise the cable by tightening the 2 screws of the cable clamp
and put the protective plate back on securely.
Maintenance
We advise you to clean the reflectors each time you replace the lamp.
After having disconnected the power cable, remove the wire guard
and/or the safety glass, after having allowed the spotlight to cool.
Remove the lamp carefully using protective gloves. Watch out for hot
lamps. Clean the reflector using a soft, clean cloth moistened with
alcohol. Replace the lamp and the accessories.
