7. Mounting And Installation
Installing or replacing the lamp
• For a proper and safe lamp change, please read
this chapter carefully and follow all instructions.
Lamp Protection Circuitry
• Because of the nature of the extreme heat
associated with the Platinum 20R lamp and
the tight nature of the internal optical system it
is imperative that the lamp be replaced every
2000 hours. This is done to protect the internal
optical system as well as prevent accidental
lamp explosion, which could lead to hot glass
particles falling from the fixture.
Failure to change the lamp within 300 hours of
operation will result in automatic shut down of
the fixture’s electronics.
• At 1400 hours the display will begin to flash
“Replace The Lamp” and the lamp will flicker
for the first five minutes of operation. At this
point the lamp has reached the maximum rated
life and should be replaced immediately. After
the lamp has flickered for about five minutes
it should strike normally allowing the fixture to
be used temporarily until a replacement lamp
can be installed. The fixture will continue to
operate for an additional 100 hours, however
the “Replace the Lamp” warning will continue to
flash in the display.
• Keep in mind that the flicker protection circuitry
will only work for about 100 hours (lamp clock
life of 1400-1500 hours). After 1500 hours
the fixture will no longer respond to DMX
commands and immediately enter a hibernation
mode that will electronically discontinue all
fixture functionality with the exception of a
few menu commands. The fixture will continue
to enter hibernation mode until the lamp is
replaced and the lamp clock has been reset. To
replace the lamp follow the safety guidelines
and procedures below;
Safety Regulations
• Always replace lamp every 1400 hours.
• Disconnect the unit’s main power supply.
• If you unit has been running, please allow
the unit to cool for at least 15 minutes before
attempting any type of service.
• When replacing an old lamp, always be sure
to replace with an approved replacement. In
this case a
Osram MSD Platinum 20R lamp
is
required. Be sure the replacement lamp meets
or exceeds the original lamp specifications,
failure to do so may damage the fixture and void
the manufactures warranty.
• Be sure to follow all the lamp handling
procedures included with the new lamp. Never
handle the new lamp with your bare hands as
the oils from your skin may damage the lamp
and cause premature lamp failure.
• Take 2 clamps and the safety cord out from the
package and mount 2 clamps on the undersi-
de of fixture with 2 retainers attached to each
clamp.
• Hang the fixture on the structure and fasten
the screws attached to each clamp.To pass the
SAFETY CORD through the HOLES for safety!
Always ensure that the projector is firmly ancho-
red to avoid vibration and slipping whilst func-
tioning.
• Always ensure that the structure that you are
going to mount the projector to is secure and
strong enough to support the weight of the
fixture
