SPX Operation Manual 4

Safety Warnings

Not for residential use.

CAUTION: Hot Surfaces, Avoid contact by persons or materials.

The SPX has some hot surfaces. Be careful to avoid burns. Take care with the lamphouse and heat-sink. We suggest the use of leather gloves when focusing these luminaires.

SAFETY – Double Insulated

The SPX range is a Class 2 appliance that is double insulated for increased safety and lower maintenance. Earth continuity testing is not needed. Refer to page 11 for testing procedure.

SAFETY - Mains Power Isolation

The SPX range is fitted with a micro-switch that automatically disconnects the mains power when the lamp holder is removed. However, it is also recommended that the luminaire should always be electrically isolated from mains power before re-lamping, cleaning or servicing.

CAUTION: Risk of fire - use with maximum 800W lamp.

CAUTION: These luminaires are not suitable for mounting on a normally flammable surface.

These luminaires are not suitable for outdoor use. They are rated at IP00.

The luminaire should be at least 1.2 metres/4 ft away from the nearest object it is lighting.

The SPX range can be operated only through a range of angles 90° either side of horizontal.

Operating your Luminaire for the First Time

Familiarise yourself with the way the shutter and reflector assembly can be rotated by loosening the rotating clamp (drawing page 9), and turning the assembly. Note how the colour frame is locked into the front of the lens tube with the front accessory cover.

The SPX provides for mounting 2 pattern holders. Practice inserting them into both the front and rear position as it is easier to familiarise yourself before rigging the luminaire.

The SPX has a shutter lock. Make sure this is in the unlocked position. Refer P.7

Lamping Procedure

Remove the lamp module by loosening the 2 locking thumbscrews on the rear. Align the pins of the new lamp to the holes in the lamp socket and push the lamp firmly home. Do not touch the quartz envelope of the lamp with your fingers. Replace the lamp module and tighten the locking thumbscrews. Reconnect the mains power. Always take great care when making adjustments to the lamp, as its filament is fragile. N.B. The mains power supply is

automatically disconnected by amicroswitch as the lamp module mount screws are loosened.
