Caution:
Always replace with the exact same type lamp and fuse,
unless otherwise specified by an authorized American DJ
technician. Replacing with anything other than the specified part can
damage your unit and will void your manufactures warranty.
Warning:
If you continue to blow lamps or fuses, STOP using the
unit. Contact customer support for further instructions, you may have
to return the unit for servicing. Continuing to use the unit may cause
serious damage.
Lamp Replacement:
Caution! Never attempt to change the lamp
while the fixture is plugged in. Always disconnect the main power
and allow the unit ample time to cool before attempting to replace the
lamp. Lamp replacement has been made simple by incorporating the
a slide out lamp assembly that is retained by two phillips screws.
1. Be sure to follow the proper handling procedures that deal with
discharge lamps.
2. Remove the three small screws labeled A, B, and C on the rear of
the unit
3. After removing the screws, gently slide out the socket assembly
from the rear of the unit to expose the lamp.
4. Carefully remove the old lamp and discard it in the trash.
5. Replace the lamp with an exact match and reassemble in reverse
order.
6. After replacing the lamp follow the optimization procedures on the
next page to be sure the lamp is center in the reflector
Fuse Replacement: The fuse holder located at the rear of the unit
above the power cord. Disconnect from the main power supply. Insert
a standard flat head screw driver in to the fuse holder housing, located
on the back of the unit. Turn the screwdriver in counter-clockwise
direction to remove the fuse holder. Remove the old fuse and discard
it, replace the fuse with the same type. Insert the fuse back into it's
housing.

Optimizing Lamp Alignment: This procedure centers the lamp in the
reflector. Proper optimization will increase lamp life and ensure a bright
crisp output. Improper optimization may add a yellow tint to the lamp
output and reduce intensity. NOTE: The lamp adjustment screws
are labeled 1, 2, and 3.
1. Be sure main power is disconnected and allow the unit to cool. If
the you have just installed a new unit you can obviously skip this
step.
2. Make a preliminary adjustment: Turn the three lamp adjustment
thumb screws completely in (clockwise). Then back them each
out (counter-clockwise) about three complete turns.
3. Turn the unit on and allow it to reset.
4. Using either a DMX controller or the control panel on the unit,
strike the lamp and focus the light on a flat surface.
6. Center the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam) using the 3
adjustment screws. 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.
7. To reduce a hot-spot, pull the lamp in by turning all three screws
clockwise 1/4-turn at a time until the light is evenly distributed.
8. If the light is brighter around the edge than it is in the center, or if
light output is low, the lamp is too far back in the reflector. "Push"
the lamp out by turning the screws.
