PREFACE
THE STRONG SUPER TROUPER II SYSTEM consists of an advanced design lens mecha-
nism and direct current xenon lamphouse constructed and aligned on a common base rail. Operator controls are
easily accessible from either side of the unit. The spotlight head includes a six-color, self-canceling color
boomerang, and mounts to a collapsible base stand and yoke assembly. A switching type, solid-state xenon
power supply with a keyed quick-disconnect lamphouse cable receptacle completes the follow spotlight system.
ONLY THE SPECIAL POWER SUPPLIES manufactured by Strong International can be
used with the xenon spotlight. Current level adjustments (DC output to the xenon bulb) are made at the power
supply by means of (2) output potentiometers. For information regarding installation and operation of the
xenon power supply, see the instruction manual furnished separately.
THE XENON LAMPHOUSE utilizes a deep ellipse dichroic metal reflector designed to oper-
ate in a fixed position with a horizontally mounted xenon bulb as the light source. The DC Pulse Igniter requires
no AC control circuit. A coated glass heat filter is located at the front opening of the lamphouse to reduce the
radiant heat at the optical system and color boomerang.
THE LAMPHOUSE INSTRUMENT PANEL is equipped with a LCD digital display volt/
ammeter and running time meter. The display continuously indicates the operating DC current (A), voltage at
the arc (V), and the actual wattage (W). The lower line of the LCD display reads out the elapsed hours of the
currently-installed xenon bulb (BLB) and the total number of hours the spotlight has operated (HR). In the
event of an ignition failure, the display screen reads out sequential diagnostic messages.
ONLY XENON BULBS designed for horizontal operation should be used in this spotlight.
The presently approved ratings for bulbs used in this spotlight are 1000, 1600, and 2000 watt. See the listing in
this manual for the approved types and necessary adapters.
ADJUSTMENT CONTROLS for positioning the xenon bulb inside the elliptical reflector are
located above the instrument panel at the rear of the lamphouse. The adjustments control the horizontal, verti-
cal, and focal position of the bulb.
THE BULB is ignited and extinguished through use of the LAMP switch mounted on the
instrument panel. A MODE switch provides circuitry required for remote or automatic bulb ignition control.
THE LAMP BLOWERS, internally wired in the lamp, operate on 115 V.AC and are required
to keep the seals on the bulb at a safe operating temperature. These blowers will operate continuously until
power is turned off at the main line switch to the xenon power supply. An air flow switch at the rear lamphouse
blower prevents operation of the xenon lamp if the blower is not operating, or if the airflow is inadequate. The
Super Trouper II lamphouse, when using a factory-approved, ozone-free xenon bulb, requires no external
exhaust system.
AN ARC STABILIZATION MAGNET, as required by bulb manufacturers for the operation
of 2000 watt bulbs, is mounted to the base of the lamphouse below the reflector. The magnet may be left in place
for operation of 1000 and 1600 watt bulbs. The SOUTH pole of this permanent magnet is marked with paint,
and must be pointed toward the left (off-operator) side of the lamphouse.
