Figure 6-17. You can look at the lamp label text to make sure the lamp plate is oriented correctly; incorrect orientation can result in damage to the fixture and the lamp.
9.As you insert the lamp assembly, be careful not to crimp or trap the lamp wires and make sure the lamp is inserted into the reflector.
10.Firmly tighten the two lamp assembly screws to secure the assembly to the fixture.
Optimizing the Lamp
You should optimize the lamp after you replace the lamp, or if you notice a “hot spot” of brightness anywhere other than the center of the light beam.
The optimization procedure below describes how to optimize the lamp using the fixture’s onboard menu system. However, you can access the same options using your DMX controller.
1.Orient the fixture so that the beam will project onto a flat, white surface at least 10 feet (3 m) away.
2.Turn the lamp on (see “Turning the Lamp On or Off (LAMP)” on page
3.If necessary, set any lithos, colors, or effects values to “0” to achieve an open, white beam.
4.Make sure that the light beam is round and not oval. If necessary, adjust the pan and tilt construct values until the beam is round (see “Positioning the Mirror” on page
5.Adjust the focus until the edge of the light beam is sharp (see “Refocusing the Fixture” on page
