Installation

Installing the Lamp

The Showtec Giant uses the HMI 575 (ordercode 80901O, 80901P) 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 metal housing.

2. Gently open the small metal housing. Loosen the 4 screws and remove the small metal plate, then take

out the lamp.

3. Unscrew the screw on the bottom and the screw on top of the lamp. 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.).

4. Insert the lamp into the lamp socket.

5. Put the small metal housing back and fasten the 3 screws snugly.

Maintenance

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be inspected

by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be inspected

by a skilled person once a year.

The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

1. All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must

not be corroded.

2. There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.

3. Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.

4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.

The Showtec Giant requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.

Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and

then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents.

The mirrors will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light-output

very quickly.

Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.

Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the connections with a damp cloth.

Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.

Changing the Lamp

1. Disconnect mains power supply. Loosen the 3 screws on the metal housing.

2. Gently open the small metal housing. Loosen the 4 screws and remove the small metal plate, then take

out the lamp.

3. Follow directions for installing a new lamp, page 6.

Replacing a Fuse

Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the fuse

burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below to do so.

1. Unplug the unit from electric power source.

2. Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the fuse cover. Turn the screwdriver to the left, at the same time gently

push a bit (Turn and Push). The fuse will come out.

3. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.

4. Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to

use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.
