Safety Precautions
BEFORE TURNING THE UNIT ON, MAKE SURE THAT NONE OF THE VENTS ARE
OBSTRUCTED. IT IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT THAT THE FAN, LOCATED AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE UNIT, IS NOT OBSTRUCTED. To operate properly, the unit requires ample
air circulation. Do not mount the unit in a cabinet or other enclosure.
NEVER TOUCH THE UNIT WHEN IT IS TURNED ON. If you wish to add or change accessories,
replace the GOBO or replace the lamp, wait at least 15 Minutes after the unit has been turned off.
DO NOT OPEN THE UNIT, EXCEPT TO REPLACE THE LAMP (See special instructions
"REPLACING THE LAMP"). There are no serviceable parts inside. To replace the thermal fuse,
please consult a licensed electrician or return the unit to DERKSEN (USA), INC. for repair by first
requesting a "Return Authorization Code".
Preparing for the Installation
For your personal safety and the safety of others, please have a qualified electrician install the
system.
The unit uses a special 150W metal halide discharge lamp and operates at 120V AC. Plug the
power cord into a standard 120V 60Hz AC outlet. DO NOT ATTACH the unit to a switched circuit
equipped with a dimmer switch.
The unit weighs approximately 18 pounds, excluding optional accessories. Make sure that the
wall, ceiling, pipe and/or bracket you are using, can support at least 40 pounds. Ensure that all
accessories are properly secured to prevent any from falling off. If necessary, use nylon or
cable ties to secure the lens holder and/or any accessories.
Follow the suggested sequence below to ensure a smooth installation and operation:
•Decide on how you wish to use the unit and where it should be placed.
•Take great care when handling the unit. The optics inside, the lenses, and any accessories
mounted on the two accessory rods have been factory-adjusted to provide a sharp rendering
of the projected image. NEVER use the accessory rods to lift the unit or adjust its position. A
minor misalignment can cause optical distortions.
•Insert the GOBO (a chrome-coated glass slide or a film negative slide) into the provided gate
in front of the light source. This may take a little effort, because the GOBO is held in place by
two clips. ONLY INSERT A GOBO OR USE ACCESSORIES DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY
FOR THIS UNIT.
•Attach the accessories needed to achieve your display results. Please read the instructions
pertaining to each accessory you plan to use.
•Connect any motorized accessories (not more than two at one time) to the RCA-type jacks
provided on the back plate of the housing.
•DO NOT BLOCK THE FAN OR ANY VENTS!
•Turn the unit on using the toggle switch on the back plate of the housing. If the unit does not
turn on, check if it is attached to a circuit that is controlled by a wall switch.
