place. Before reassembling the unit, be sure the new lamp is securely seated in the lamp socket. Always be sure to only use specified lamp types! (MSR Gold 1200 FastFit).

4.Once the lamp has been inserted and secured into the socket, follow the lamp optimization instructions outlined below, then lock the lamp cover back in to place.

5.Reset the lamp run time in the system menu.

6.Always be sure to optimize the lamp after lamp replacement. Follow the instructions in the next section to properly align and optimize the lamp.

Caution!

Do not attempt to operate this fixture without the protective covers in tacked.

Lamp Optimization

The lamp orientation and optimization must be adjusted after every lamp change. This procedure centers the lamp in the reflector. Proper optimization will increase lamp life and ensure a bright, crisp, and even output. Improper optimization may add a yellow tint to the lamp output and reduce intensity. The minimum deviation amount is 1.0mm. Running the fixture within a lower deviation can cause damage to the lamp, reflector, and/or lens.

The Design Beam 1200C™ lamp holder is aligned at the factory. However, due to slight imperfections in all lamps, fine adjustments will improve light performance. Please follow the procedure below for proper lamp optimization:

1.Using a DMX controller or the control panel on the unit, strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface (beam open, white, no gobo, no effect).

2.Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3 adjustment screws located under the lamp cover labeled 1, 2, and 3 as illustrated on the next page. Turn one screw at a time to drag the hot-spot diagonally across the projected image. If you cannot detect a hot-spot, adjust the lamp until the light is even.

3.To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws clockwise a 1/4-turn at a time until the light is evenly distributed.
