XENON TROUPER

Follow Spotlight

Type 48057

Issue 4/98

PRELIMINARY

PREFACE

THE STRONG XENON TROUPER, Type 48057, is a direct current follow spotlight com-

plete with a xenon lamphouse, power supply, optical system, base and yoke assembly, and color boomerang. It

utilizes proven design features of the Strong Xenon Super Trouper combined with advanced properties of the

Strong Super Trouper II. Using a 700 watt xenon bulb as a light source, the Xenon Trouper meets or exceeds

all professional requirements for short- to medium-throw follow spotlight applications.

ONLY THE SPECIAL XENON POWER SUPPLIES manufactured by Strong International

can be used with the xenon spotlight. For installation and operation of the power supply, see the manual

furnished separately.

THE XENON LAMPHOUSE utilizes a deep ellipse dichroic (“cold”) coated metal reflector

designed to operate in a fixed position with a horizontally mounted xenon bulb as the light source. The dichroic

reflector coating reduces heat at the aperture and optical system.

BULB ADAPTERS, required to mount the 700 watt bulb into the lamphouse, are included in

the spotlight accessory kit. Two anode adapters are supplied; the 65259 adapter, measuring 2-5/8 inches in

length, is used with the Hanovia XH0700HS bulb, and the shorter 65199 adapter is used with the OSRAM

XBO700W/HS OFR bulb.

ADJUSTMENT CONTROL for positioning the xenon bulb is located at the rear of the lamp-

house. The adjustments are for the horizontal and vertical positioning, and focus control, of the bulb.

THE LAMPHOUSE INSTRUMENT PANEL is equipped with an ammeter and running time

meter. The ammeter indicates the operating current of the lamp, and the running time meter records the number

of hours the lamp has operated.

THE BULB is ignited and extinguished by use of the LAMP switch mounted on the instrument

panel. A DC Pulse Igniter Assembly requires no AC control circuit; it operates from DC open circuit voltage

normally generated by the xenon power supply. Remote ignition switching is accommodated by wiring a dry

contact across wires 3 & 6. See the Interconnection Wiring Diagram.

THE LAMP BLOWER, internally wired in the lamp, operates on 115 V.AC and is required to

keep the seals on the bulb at a safe operating temperature. This blower will operate continuously until power is

turned off at the main line switch to the xenon power supply.

THE LAMPHOUSE is supplied with a 13 foot cable containing the two DC leads, the ground

lead, and all AC control leads. The cable terminates in a multiple pin MS connector to mate to the receptacle on

the power supply.

WHEN TRANSPORTING the spotlight, it is recommended that the xenon bulb be removed

and placed in its original shipping carton with the cover on the bulb to insure against breakage.

INSTALLATION & SET-UP

THE XENON TROUPER is shipped in sections which must be assembled. The Folding Base

Stand Assembly 65838 is shipped collapsed, and requires only unfolding and securing the (4) base legs using the

T-bolts supplied.

WHEN INSTALLED in a permanent location, the leveling feet must be removed, and the

clearance holes in the base leg brackets used for hardware (user supplied) to bolt the base to the floor or

platform. If it is desired to have the unit portable, when operating, the leveling feet must be adjusted down until

the weight of the spotlight has been shifted from the casters to the leveling feet.

THE INNER TUBE and support yoke has three holes to permit adjusting the height of the

spotlight. The three holes are on four inch centers and will allow an optical height of approximately 53 inches,

57 inches, and 61 inches above floor level to the optical center of the lamphouse and lens system. The leveling

feet may be adjusted through an additional two inch range. Insert the height location pin through the hole in the

outer tube and one of the holes in the inner tube.

THE HORIZONTAL SWING and vertical tilt locking knobs are on the right hand (operating)

side of the yoke assembly. Tighten both of these locking devices securely before attempting to place the lamp-

house and lens system on the support yoke.

PLACE THE LAMPHOUSE and lens system on the yoke assembly, with the spot size control

handle to the right hand (operating) side, the same as the locking controls on the yoke. Line up the four

mounting holes in the bottom of the base rail with the four mating holes in the support yoke and secure with the

four 5/16-18 wing screws.

ATTACH THE COLOR BOOMERANG to the front of the optical system cover by inserting

the hinge pin through the hinge on the boomerang and optical system. Fasten the boomerang yoke to the slotted

angle bracket on the underside of the optical system pan. Adjust and securely tighten the wing nut and lock nuts

to hold the boomerang parallel with the front of the optical system housing.

ATTACH THE LAMPHOUSE CABLE CONNECTOR to the receptacle on the power supply.

Align the pins before tightening the locking ring. Do not energize the xenon power supply before first installing

the xenon bulb into the lamphouse.

EARLIER MODELS of Strong xenon spotlights included a heavy-gauge green ground wire in

the lamphouse cable assembly. This ground wire was attached to a ground stud connected to the power supply

cabinet. Current models of Strong power supplies include a 1/4-20 stud in the cabinet adjacent to the MS

connector to allow ground termination of older spotlights.

SAFETY PROCEDURES

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING XENON BULB

THE XENON BULB is highly pressurized. When ignited, the normal operating temperature

of the bulb increases the pressure to a level at which the bulb may explode if not handled in strict accordance to

the manufacturer’s operating instructions.

THE BULB is stable at room temperature, but may still explode if dropped or otherwise mis-

handled. Breakage resulting from transport and handling is not covered by the bulb manufacturer’s warrranty,

and it is strongly recommended to dismaount the xenon bulb when transporting the spotlight.

REFER bulb replacement and service to QUALIFIED PERSONNEL with adequate protective

clothing (face shield, clean cotton gloves, welder’s jacket). For routine lamphouse service, observe the follow-

ing rules:

1. Allow the bulb to cool to room temperature before opening the lamphouse. Put on protective clothing

described above.

2. De-energize the xenon power supply at the AC source before opening the lamphouse compartment.

3. When possible, encase the bulb in its protective cover when cleaning or servicing the lamphouse inte-

rior. The bulb, when outside the lamphouse, must be encased in the cover.

4. Clean the bulb after it has cooled to room temperature. Do not touch the quartz envelope of the bulb;

fingerprints will burn in and create hot spots which may shorten bulb life. If fingermarks are made,

they should be carefully removed with methyl alcohol and cotton prior to bulb operation.

5. Never view an ignited bulb directly. BLINDNESS OR PERMANENT EYE DAMAGE MAY BE

INCURRED.

6. Use only xenon bulbs designated as OZONE FREE. When possible, vent the lamphouse exhaust to

outside atmosphere.

7. Maintain the lamphouse blower in good operating condition. Keep the blower inlet clean for unre-

stricted air flow.

8. To insure maximum bulb life, operate the lamphouse blower and the exhaust system for at least ten

minutes after extinguishing the bulb.

9. If returning a bulb for warranty adjustment, pack it in its original shipping container. Complete and

return all required warranty information.

XG2/005

10. Dispose of expired bulbs that are beyond warranty in the following manner: Wrap the bulb tightly in

several layers of canvas or heavy cloth. Place it on a hard surface and shatter the envelope with a sharp

hammer blow. DO NOT place an unshattered bulb in an ordinary refuse container.

11. DO NOT PERMIT UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL TO PERFORM OR ATTEMPT ANY PHASE

OF XENON BULB HANDLING OR SERVICE.

CAUTION: OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PROCEDURES. Put on the protective face mask.

Wear clean cotton gloves to prevent marking the quartz envelope of the bulb with fingerprints.

REMOVE THE TOP COVER of the lamphouse by removing the four Holt head (tamperproof)

screws with the special screwdriver provided. Loosen the two knurled-head thumb screws (65152) on the front

bulb support yoke and pivot the retaining plate (65151) aside. Slide the 65131 clamp on the end of the igniter

lead over the brass socket of the rear bulb support collet (65844).

ASSEMBLE THE ADAPTERS to the 700 watt bulb prior to inserting the bulb into the lamp-

house. Be very careful not to apply any strain on the quartz envelope when installing adapters. Screw the

cathode adapter (65198) onto the threaded negative stud so it seats firmly against the shoulder of the (-) end cap.

Slip the 65259 anode adapter over the positive pin up to the shoulder of the (+) end cap. Tighten the set screw

(00720) securely to insure a good electrical connection.

REMOVE THE PLASTIC PROTECTIVE COVER from the xenon bulb only if necessary.

Insert the bulb through the top of the lamphouse, between the reflector support and the front casting. Pass the

anode (+) end of the bulb through the hole in the reflector, taking care not to touch the surface of the reflector.

INSERT THE ANODE ADAPTER STEM into the rear support collet. The stem must be

inserted as far as possible to permit full focus travel of the bulb. Place the cathode adapter into the 65117 front

bulb support, pivot the retaining plate to its closed position, and tighten the (2) thumb screws. Tighten the

socket head clamping screw in the anode contact securely to insure a good electrical contact.

INSTALL THE CATHODE LEAD CONTACT over the end of the cathode adapter up to the

shoulder of the contact and tighten the clamping screw securely. Lay the lead in front of the air duct to minimize

the shadow.

A GLASS STRIP HEAT FILTER is supplied to reduce the thermal energy at the optical sys-

tem and color gels. Insert the heat filter in the bracket provided on the inside of the lamphouse at the front

opening. Place the filter in position with the coated surface facing the bulb. The coated surface is indicated by

a small XX or other marking. This filter is a narrow strip that covers only the center portion of the beam. To

prevent damage to optical system components, do not operate the spotlight with the filter removed or reversed.

REMOVE THE PLASTIC COVER from the xenon bulb. Store the protective cover and the

original bulb packing in a secure location. The spare anode adapter (65199) is for use with an OSRAM 700

watt bulb (XBO700W/HS OFR) should such a bulb be used as a replacement.

SECURE THE LAMPHOUSE COVER with the (4) tamperproof screws using the special

screwdriver provided. The cover must be securely in position to actuate the interlock switch and permit lamp

ignition.

IT IS RECOMMENDED to establish a routine for periodically checking all electrical connec-

tions for tightness, particularly those at the bulb. A loose connection in the DC circuit will cause failure of the

contacts and leads, and may damage the bulb.

OPERATION

PLACE THE MODE SWITCH (on units so equipped) in the “MAN.” position and energize

the xenon power supply. The lamphouse blower will start and actuate the blower interlock switch to permit bulb

ignition. This lamp blower will operate continuously until the xenon power supply is de-energized.

PLACE THE LAMP SWITCH in the ON position and the xenon bulb will ignite. Allow a few

minutes for the current to stabilize, and read the lamphouse ammeter. The 700 watt xenon bulb must be

operated within the current range specified by the bulb manufacturer, normally 36 amperes nominal; maximum

current 40 amperes. Refer to the manufacturer’s documents shipped with the bulb for the exact figures.

ADJUST THE POWER SUPPLY as instructed in the power supply manual for the correct

operating current. New 700 watt bulbs are normally first operated at their nominal current level (36 A.). The

current setting must be increased in time to compensate for bulb aging, but do not, at any time, exceed the

maximum current rating (40 A.).

REMOVE THE REAR COVER PANEL (two pull type knobs) located below the instrument

panel. This will expose the bulb position adjustment controls.

THE CENTER SECTION of the control is a threaded member that focuses the bulb in relation

to the reflector. Turning this adjustment moves the bulb on the horizontal plane, into or out of the reflector.

Rotating this section clockwise moves the bulb away from the reflector. The small knurled screw to the left of

this section can be tightened to lock the focusing mechanism in place after the bulb alignment procedure has

been completed.

THE THUMB SCREWS to the left and right of the focusing control lock the horizontal and

vertical position of the bulb. These thumb screws are spring-loaded to apply a degree of friction against the

lamphouse back casting.

TWO METHODS are recommended to align the bulb in order to project the best light to the stage:
