Infinity iB-16R Lamp Adjustment You can adjust the lamp’s position by turning the 2 screws G, H. The lamp position is set in the factory. As the lamps, which can be used, differ from manufacturer to manufacturer, it can be necessary to readjust the position.

04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue. The iB-16R requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Otherwise, the fixture’s light output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth.
Infinity iB-16R Gobo Size 01) Disconnect mains power supply and set the switch to OFF. 02) Make sure that the gobo which you want to insert has the same size. For the right size, see below. Fig. 09 Replacing a gobo from the rotating gobo wheel Fig.
Infinity iB-16R 05) Gently lift up the gobo holder 10º and then gently pull out the gobo from its position. Fig. 11 06) Very carefully take the gobo out of the gobo holder with a pair of pliers. 07) Place the new gobo in the gobo holder. Carefully put the pinchcock back, gently press the pinchcock a little bit together.
04) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again. 05) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Infinity, as this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
