Pacific Operation Manual

Version 4 October 2010
Centre the lamp in the middle of the beam if necessary, by adjusting the three
levelling screws. Optimising the output
The lamp position can be altered to 'Peak' or 'Flat' light output. The peak
beam gives a central hot spot falling off evenly to the beam edges. This
setting is useful for normal stage lighting purposes where beams are
overlapped to achieve an even cover. Flat adjustment provides a visually
even light beam suitable for gobo projection. Take care to move the lamp
carefully as the lamp filament is burning white hot and at its most
vulnerable. Don't over-tighten the knobs; finger tight pressure is all that is
required.
1
Adjust the beam to its narrow angle, with a sharp edge.
2
Peak the output (turn the centre gear clockwise) until you see
light flare around the edge of the beam.
3
Turn the centre gear anti-clockwise until the flare is removed and you have a clean sharp-edged
beam. This is the position of maximum light output.
4
A useful technique to check how well the lamp is centred is to push two of the shutters into the beam,
and then check if any reflection off the shutters is visible in the beam. If so, adjust the screw on the
side opposite to the reflection until it disappears.
5
To set a ‘FLAT’ beam, turn the centre gear anti-clockwise until the distribution appears even across
the beam.
Lamps
The Pacific range is available with 5 different lamp holder modules.
The lamp holder module with a
RED
handle has a GY9.5 type for use with BP1000W 'Blue-pinch' type lamps
or 650W lamps. Lamps suitable for this module include:
GAD 1000W Blue Pinch, 220-240V
GAB
1000W Blue Pinch, 230V
GAC 1000W Blue Pinch, 115V
M38
300W, 2000 hrs
M40
500W, 2000 hrs
T/25, T/18
500W, 500 hrs
T/26, T/27
650W, 500 hrs
The lamp holder with a
BLUE
handle has a TP-22 (G9.5) lampbase and is designed to run with GKV600
range of lamps. Lamps suitable for this module include:
GKV: 600W 220v -240V, 300 hour
GLB: 600W, 240V, 1500 hrs
GLC: 575W, 115V, 300 hour
GLA: 575W, 115V, 1500 hrs
GKV: 800W 220v -240V, 300 hour
Important note:
The GKV range of lamps uses a very compact filament in order to achieve its highly efficient
output. For this reason, the lamp filaments are close to each other and are therefore sensitive to shocks.
Great care should be taken when adjusting the lamp and focusing the luminaire to avoid shocks.
For information on the 80V 1200W lamp module, 575W MSR lamp module, and 150W CDM lamp module,
please refer to the separate instruction sheets.
Important Note:
The quoted performance figures are achieved with Philips lamps. Other manufacturers
lamps can be used, but no assumptions should be made as to relative performance.
Please refer to the instructions of the lamp manufacturer when disposing of failed lamps.
