1.2 Mains connection
Prior to the initial operation of the spotlight UP1200, a mains plug
must be attached to the power cord. Please use a commercially
available shockproof plug with a minimum power rating of 2.5 A
(220/240 V). The wires of the connecting cable are clearly marked
according to their function.
The spotlight can be operated from a power supply of max. 120 V/5 A
or 240 V/2.5 A AC. The mains frequency should be 50/60 Hz.
◊
Please note that your ULTRAPAR spotlight must be grounded
properly. For your own safety, you should not remove or
defeat the ground connection of the spotlight or power cord.
◊
Make sure that the spotlight will be installed by qualified
personnel only.
2. Lamp
The halogen lamp needed for using the UP1200 is not included
with the shipment. To start using your ULTRAPAR spotlight, use the
BEHRINGER 575H (575 Watts at 110 V/230 V) or any other compatible
lamp with the G9.5 socket. Make sure that the lamp you use is
compatible with local voltage.
◊
If the lamp is operated with a voltage surpassing its nominal
operating voltage, it can be damaged/destroyed or its
service life reduced considerably.
2.1 Disassembling the lamp casing/
installing a lamp
Lamps that have been damaged, must be replaced immediately!
Please proceed as follows to replace the lamp:
◊
The lamp gets very hot during operation of the spotlight,
so let it cool down sufficiently before you attempt to
dismount it!
•
Disconnect the spotlight from the mains power supply,
and unscrew the thumb screw on the rear of the
lamp casing
(3)
(G 9.5 socket)
•
Carefully pull out the lamp casing
(3)
from the rear part
of the spotlight
•
Carefully take the lamp out of its carton, by holding it
at its socket
◊
Never touch the glass bulb of the lamp, as this can reduce
the lamp’s service life considerably. If you touch the glass
bulb during installation, wipe it clean with a lint-free cloth
damped with ethyl alcohol (spirit).
•
Depending on socket type, use the corresponding
temperature-resistant rubber adapter provided
•
Press the lamp socket (and the rubber adapter) into the holder
inside the lamp casing
(3)
until the lamp is safely mounted
in place. The entire bottom side of the lamp socket must be in
contact with the casing
•
Remount the casing and connect it to the grounding cable
(2)
coming from the spotlight. Fasten the thumb screw until the
casing is safely mounted in place
•
Avoid touching the reflector with bare hands. Oily finger
marks can bake onto the glass surface and substantially
lower optical quality
3. Lenses
Your ULTRAPAR spotlight is delivered with four glass lenses.
◊
Never use your ULTRAPAR without the protective mesh in
combination with the color frame because it prevents direct
contact with the hot lamp surface. It also prevents pieces of
broken glass from uncontrollably dispersing in the event of
the lens being broken.
The shape of each lens determines the light beam produced by the
spotlight (Fig. 3.1). Also, use the turnable lens ring to optimally
adjust the direction of the light beam.
