Installation
Installing the Lamp
The Showtec Explorer Pro uses the MSD 250 (ordercode 80920P / 80920O / 80933O / 82603 / 80935)
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 3 screws on the top cover and gently remove the small plastic housing.
2. Loosen the 2 screws on the small lamp cover and gently remove the lamp cover.
3. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass.
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.).
4. Insert the lamp pins into the small holes in the lamp socket. You can adjust the distance between the
lamp and the lens on the back of the cover.
5. Put the lamp cover back and fasten the screws snugly. Then put the plastic housing back and fasten the
screws snugly
