Pacific Operation Manual

Safe Practice
Heat
The Pacific incorporates an innovative design to effectively remove the heat out of the luminaire, away from
the critical heat-sensitive components such as the lamp base and wiring. The components that form part of
the heat removal system, the heat-sink and lamp house, will operate at temperatures which can burn you!!!
Take care in handling the luminaire. We recommend the use of gloves when focusing.
Tilt Lock
Take care when releasing the tilt lock as the luminaire may suddenly swing down. Hold the lens tube with one
hand and release the tilt lock with the other.
Handles
The rear handle on the lamp house is designed to assist positioning of the luminaire during focusing. When
cold, cable can be wrapped around it for storage. Do not operate the Pacific with cable wrapped around the
handle.
Carry the luminaire by the Yoke or rear handle, NEVER by the lamp holder handle
The lamp module handle is designed for holding the lamp module when removing and mounting it into the
luminaire. It is not suitable for use during focusing.
Mains Isolation
The Pacific range is fitted with a micro-switch that automatically disconnects the mains power when the lamp
holder is removed. However, it is also recommended that the luminaire should always be electrically isolated
from mains power before re-lamping, cleaning or servicing.
Rigging Check-list
When rigging your luminaire check:
Shutter assembly rotating knob is securely screwed home
Lamphouse locking knob is securely screwed home
Lens access cover is closed and lens access knob is securely screwed home
All safety anchor bonds are fitted
Any accessories are correctly installed and secured
Colour frame retention clip is locked down
Lamp Module is secured in position and its thumb screw is finger tight.
Maintenance
Reflector and Mirror: Unscrew the screw that secures the heat sink into place. Lift out the heat sink. Wipe the
reflector and mirror with a soft cloth to remove accumulated dust. To clean the coated side of the mirror,
remove the lens tube and access through the front opening of the lamphouse. Take care when doing this as
the edges of the opening are sharp. When finished, reverse the above process.
The coated side of the mirror must always face the inside of the luminaire. To determine which side of
the mirror is coated, touch the surface of the mirror with your fingernail. If the reflection in the mirror
is touching you finger nail, then this is the coated side. If the reflection is about 3mm from your finger,
then this is the non-coated side, and should face the heat sink. If you put any fingerprints on the
mirror, do not forget to wipe them clean before replacing the mirror.
Note: severe contamination of the front or rear of the mirror could lead to loss of heat transfer and result in
over heating.
A soft cloth soaked in a mild detergent solution or alcohol can be used to remove dirt from the mirror.
Lens:
To access, undo the lens access knob located on the top and front of the lens tube, and slide the cover
back. Clean the lenses with a soft cloth. To remove baked-on dust use a window cleaner. When finished,
slide the cover back, and fasten the lens access knob.
The above are the only maintenance tasks which can be safely carried out by non approved personnel. Refer
