GENERAL
Followspot fitted with single-ended metal halide lamp.
220V-50 Hz power supply through the relevant ballast.
It can be mounted with colour changer on the front.
The luminaire you have bought complies to 2006/95/EC,
2004/108/EC and 2011/65/EU European Directives.
The label located on the side of the luminaire contains
the following information:
• model
• maximum supply voltage (V)
• maximum power of the luminaire (W)
• IP protection index
• maximum admitted temperature of the
environment (°C)
• maximum temperature of the luminaire body in °C
• minimum distance from any inflammable surface
• information to find the 0° position of the luminaire:
when the tip of the arrow points upwards
• maximum angle of inclination upwards and
downwards. These limits, imposed by the lamp
manufacturer, should not be exceeded as they would
reduce the luminaire’s useful life or lead to its
deterioration.
INSTALLATION
The luminaire is usually mounted on a stand.
Remove the luminaire from the package and mount
it on the stand, then mount the colour changer, if
foreseen.
WARNING!
DO NOT INSTALL THE LUMINAIRE ON FLAMMABLE
SURFACES, AND MAINTAIN THE MINIMUM DISTANCE
INDICATED ON THE LABEL.
INSTALLING AND CHANGING THE LAMP

OPENING OR DISMANTLING.
- BEFORE OPENING AND/OR CLOSING THE LAMP TRAY
COMPLETELY ROTATE THE KNOB
⑪
CLOCKWISE SO
TO MAKE THE LAMP-HOLDER GO BACKWARDS AND
AVOID TO DAMAGE THE LAMP ITSELF!
Now open the tray
②
using the
knob
③
to access the
lamp-holder base. Mount the foreseen lamp, bearing
in mind that this can be damaged by contact with skin
or with other greasy and/or oily substances. Close the
lamp tray and reposition the mirror head to its previous
position using knob
⑪
.
Connect the followspot (through of the cable al ready
mounted) to the proper ballast and connect the latter
to the mains supply in compliance with the current
safety standards
.
Remember that these followspots operate with metal
halide lamps that emit UV radiation, and that can
explode when hot. Therefore, it is strongly advisable to
wait for the lamp to cool before replacing it.
Only use lamps of the power and model described (see
lamp table).
Monitor the effective functioning time of each lamp. In
fact, once the maximum estimated lamp life foreseen
by the lamp manufacturer is reached, the lamp must be
replaced even if it is still working.
CONTINUING TO USE THE LAMP AFTER EXPIRY OF ITS
NOMINAL LIFE GREATLY INCREASES THE RISK OF IT TO
EXPLODE.
