Installation

Installing the Lamp

The Showtec Unicorn uses the CMH 150 (ordercode 80925) or HSD 150/70 (ordercode 80940) reflectorbulb

as manufactured by all popular manufacturers. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.

Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product

specification label for information.

Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.

The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.

Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the

device was not designed for.

Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.

Procedure :

1. Loosen the screws ( W, X, Y, Z) on the backside of the lamp cover. See Backpanel Fig. 4

2. Gently pull out the lamp board. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass. (See Figure 3.)

Oil on hands shortens the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off the glass with a clean, lint-free

towel and rubbing alcohol.)

3. Hold the lamp socket with one hand. Insert the lamp pins into the holes in the lamp socket.

4. Push the lamp in to the lamp board. You can adjust the distance between the lamp and the lens (screw A)

5. Put the backpanel back and fasten the screws snugly.
