SPX Operation Manual 4

SafetyWarnings

Not for residential use.

CAUTION: Hot Surfaces, Avoid contact by persons or materials.

The SPX has some hot surfaces. Be careful to avoid burns. Take care with the lamphouse

and heat-sink. We suggest the use of leather gloves when focusing these luminaires.

SAFETY – Double Insulated

The SPX range is a Class 2 appliance that is double insulated for increased safety and

lower maintenance. Earth continuity testing is not needed. Refer to page 11 for testing

procedure.

SAFETY - Mains Power Isolation

The SPX 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.

CAUTION: Risk of fire - use with maximum 800W lamp.

CAUTION: These luminaires are not suitable for mounting on a normally flammable

surface.

These luminaires are not suitable for outdoor use. They are rated at IP00.

The luminaire should be at least 1.2 metres/4 ft away from the nearest object it is lighting.

The SPX range can be operated only through a range of angles 90either side of

horizontal.

OperatingyourLuminairefortheFirstTime

Familiarise yourself with the way the shutter and reflector assembly can be rotated by loosening the rotating

clamp (drawing page 9), and turning the assembly. Note how the colour frame is locked into the front of the

lens tube with the front accessory cover.

The SPX provides for mounting 2 pattern holders. Practice inserting them into both the front and rear position

as it is easier to familiarise yourself before rigging the luminaire.

The SPX has a shutter lock. Make sure this is in the unlocked position. Refer P.7

LampingProcedure

Remove the lamp module by loosening the

2 locking thumbscrews on the rear. Align

the pins of the new lamp to the holes in the

lamp socket and push the lamp firmly home.

Do not touch the quartz envelope of the

lamp with your fingers. Replace the lamp

module and tighten the locking

thumbscrews. Reconnect the mains power.

Always take great care when making

adjustments to the lamp, as its filament

is fragile. N.B. The mains power supply is automatically

disconnected by a microswitch as the lamp module mount

SPX Operation Manual 5

screws are loosened.

Lamp Replacement and Adjustment

Isolate electrically before re-lamping the luminaire. Also be aware that the lamp and/or luminaire may still be

hot, so exercise necessary caution to avoid burns.

To ensure optimum performance from your SPX luminaire, follow the steps below:

Centringthelamp

1 Remove the lamp holder as described above.

2 Level the lamp socket plate by adjusting the lamp

alignment screws.

3 Turn the peak/flat gear

4 Carefully replace the lamp holder module and tighten

the thumbscrew to lock it into position. Reconnect the

luminaire to the power supply.

5 Turn the peak/flat gear clockwise towards the peak

setting. This is indicated by the raised peak setting symbol on the peak/flat

gear. 5 half turns will shift the lamp into the approximate centre position.

6 Centre the lamp in the beam if necessary by adjusting the lamp

alignment 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 towards the peak symbol) until you see light flare

around the edge of the beam.

3 Turn the centre gear anti-clockwise towards the flat symbol 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 towards the flat symbol until the distribution

appears even across the beam.

SPX Operation Manual 6

Lamps

The SPX range lamp module has a TP-22 (G9.5) lamp base and is designed to run with GKV range of lamps.

Lamps suitable for this module include:

220-240V 120V

GKV: 600W, 220V -240V, 300 hrs GLA: 575W, 115V, 1500 hrs

GLB: 600W, 240V, 1500 hrs GLC: 575W, 115V, 300 hrs

GKV: 800W, 220V -240V, 300 hrs GLD: 750W, 115V, 300 hrs

GLE: 750W, 115V, 1500 hrs

GLG: 375W, 115V, 300 hrs

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.

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.

MountingyourLuminaire

A safety bond MUST always be used when rigging luminaires on bars, ladders, etc. The SPX is

supplied with a rated safety bond permanently attached. This is the only recommended anchor point

for the luminaire. Be careful to allow sufficient slack to allow the luminaire to be focused freely.

An extra safety bond attachment point has been provided for accessories placed

in the front of the lens tube. Do not use to secure accessories weighing more

than 2.5kgs / 5 ½ pounds.

The SPX uses universal burning position lamps. When possible however, it is

considered best practice to mount the luminaire so the yoke is horizontal and the

power cable at the bottom. Please note that the maximum tilt angles of the

luminaire are 90°either side of horizontal.

ToMountonaTheatreStandardScaffoldPipe

(48mm O.D.) Use a theatre hookclamp (Order Code: 20HC). Your luminaire is supplied with an M12 (or ½”

for North America) set screw, two washers and a nut. Pass the set screw through the yoke hole from the

inside, put on a washer, then the hookclamp, another washer and then tighten the nut.

The luminaire should be at least 1.2 metres / 4ft away from the nearest object it is lighting.



SPX Operation Manual 7

OperatingyourLuminaire

Please note that as the handles and knobs on the SPX range can reach high temperatures

depending on the position or orientation of the luminaire, and gloves should always be worn when

focusing these luminaires.

PanandTiltAdjustment

To pan the luminaire, loosen the nut at the top of the yoke and adjust, then retighten. To tilt, loosen the

locking clamp handle on the side of the luminaire, tilt and retighten finger tight.

FocusingSPXZoomspotModels

The beam of the SPX can be adjusted to a well controlled

soft-edged focus useful when merging one beam to the next,

or to a hard-edged focus useful for projections, specials, etc.

The variable beam of your SPX luminaire is altered by

adjusting the front or rear lens in relation to each other. The

front lens defines the beam spread; the rear, the focus degree

of "softness" or "sharpness" of the beam edge or shutters.

To focus your zoomspot, first define the beam size required

using the front lens. Then set the hardness/ softness of the

beam with the focus lens. A reference scale is on the bottom

of the lens tube. The reference scale allows you to record

your preferred beam settings.

Finger tight pressure only is necessary to lock the lens off in their chosen positions.

FocusingSPXFixedBeamProfiles

The lens can be moved to adjust the beam to in focus (sharp), or out of focus (soft). A

focus direction label is on the bottom of the lens tube.

To set a soft focus, move the lens forward of the hard focus

position.

NB: If you move it too far, the beam will become unusable and may cause the colour filter to fail prematurely.

ShutterSystem

The shutters are used to mask a portion of the beam, shaping it, masking light off scenery, curtains, etc. Note

that on the SPX range of luminaires, individual shutters are not removable.

ShutterLock

The shutter lock is used to fix the shutters in position

after they have been focused. To lock, slide the lever

to the closed position. To unlock, slide the lever to the

unlocked position.

NOTE: Do not run the luminaire with the shutters fully closed, as this may cause the luminaire to

over

heat

SPX Operation Manual 10

SafePractice

Heat

The SPX 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 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 handle on the lamp module is designed to assist positioning of the luminaire during focusing. When cold,

cable can be wrapped around it for storage. Do not operate the SPX with cable wrapped around the handle.

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:

Lens tube clamp is clipped in place correctly

All safety anchor bonds are fitted

Any accessories are correctly installed and secured

Accessory cover is locked down

The lamp module is secured in position with the lamp module locking knobs tightened.

Maintenance

ElectricalTestProcedure

The SPX is a Class 2 Electrical appliance. It is double insulated for maximum safety and simplified

maintenance. All exposed metalwork is separated from the conductors by two layers of insulation. An

earth conductor is not required in a Class 2 Electrical appliance.

Two tests must be performed on the SPX, a visual inspection and an Insulation Resistance Test for class 2

appliance. The SPX must have the Lamp Base Module correctly fitted to the luminaire in order to perform the

Insulation Resistance Test.

Before performing any electrical test a suitably qualified or competent person (as defined by the standard or

local laws) must first carry out a visual inspection.

Ensure the SPX is unplugged and at a safe handling temperature.

Check that the outer casing of the SPX is not damaged in a way that will give rise to electrical or

mechanical hazards.

Check that the plug is not damaged.

Check the electrical cable is not damaged, cable sheathing should be securely held at both the plug

and the fixture and should not be cut, twisted, kinked, perished or damaged in any way and must

not have been repaired with insulating tape or an unsuitable connector. The individual conductor

insulation should not be exposed and wire conductor should never be visible. Check under

insulation tape for damage. Damaged or defective cable should be replaced with the correct Philips
