OPERATION OF THE FOLLOWSPOT:
1. Plug the followspot to the electronic PSU. Please note that each followspot has been factory tested with relevant
PSU. Both units are recognized by a serial number (on the outer box, on the units and on the front cover of the
instruction manual). Make sure you match each followspot to the relevant PSU.
2. Connect the PSU to your 120 volt power supply.
3. Turn to the right (1/4 turn) the on/off selector on the PSU (fans will start working).
4. A RED LIGHT comes up from inside the ballast (visible from the ventilation slots beside the on/off selector
5. WAIT UNTIL THE RED LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND FINALLY CYAN (GREEN+BLUE) (3/5 seconds)
6. Turn to the right (1/4 turn) the on/off selector positioned at the back of the luminaire (lamp is on).
The lamp will only switch on once the green light in the ballast is on. Should you have waited too long the PSU will not have
found the lamp when trying to strike it. The ballast will try for 10 times and then stop, assuming no lamp is inserted after
which the lamp will not go on. In this case please switch the PSU off and start again
CAUTION: ONLY PERFORM SERVICING AFTER THE UNIT HAS BEEN COOLED DOWN, UNPLUGGED
FROM POWER SOUCRCE, AND OFF FOR 30 MINUTES.
LAMP SETTINGS AND ALIGNMENT:
For an optimum performance of the followspot, lamp alignment must be checked and performed each time a new lamp is
fitted or an old lamp is replaced. Please proceed as follows:
1. Turn the followspot on and project the light on a flat surface about 3-6 feet away.
2. Completely de-focus the zoom so that you can see the lamp projected on the surface.
3. Close the douser to a slightly bigger size than the height of the lamp. You should see a circle of light and the
image of the lamp on the surface.
4. If the lamp is not exactly centered in the circle of the light, set the alignment by loosening/tightening one of the
three adjustment screws positioned at the bottom of the lamp holder block until the lamp is aligned.
CAUTION: ADJUST EACH SCREW VERY SLOWLY IN ORDER NOT TO CAUSE THE LAMP TO TOUCH THE
OPTICAL SYSTEM. THIS WILL CAUSE BOTH THE LAMP AND THE FRONT LENS TO EXPLODE.
Once the alignment is correct, you can begin using the followspot.
