  • Page 3 PREFACE THE STRONG INTERNATIONAL XENON GLADIATOR II Model 47050 is a direct cur- rent follow spotlight complete with a xenon lamphouse, power supply, optical system, color boomerang, and base stand assembly. The spotlight assembly consists of the arc lamp, variable focus lens system, color boomer- ang, and base.
  • Page 4 See the SAFETY PROCEDURES section following, and permit only authorized personnel to handle the xenon bulb. IF AT ANY TIME you have a suggestion, or desire aid in securing anticipated results, write directly to STRONG INTERNATIONAL, 4350 McKinley Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68112. XG2/002...

  • Page 7: Safety Procedures

    SAFETY PROCEDURES READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING XENON BULB THE XENON BULB is highly pressurized. When ignited, the normal operating temperature of the bulb increases the pressure to a level at which the bulb may explode if not handled in strict accordance to the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
  • Page 8 Dispose of expired bulbs that are beyond warranty in the following manner: Wrap the bulb tightly in several layers of canvas or heavy cloth. Place it on a hard surface and shatter the envelope with a sharp hammer blow. DO NOT place an unshattered bulb in an ordinary refuse container. DO NOT PERMIT UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL TO PERFORM OR ATTEMPT ANY PHASE OF XENON BULB HANDLING OR SERVICE.

  • Page 9: Bulb Installation

    BULB INSTALLATION OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PROCEDURES when working around the xenon bulb. Open the lamphouse access door by removing the tamperproof screws using the special screwdriver supplied. The igniter lead and contact clamp are tied off for shipping. Free the clamp and slide it over the rear bulb support collet. THE BULB SUPPORT YOKE in front of the reflector has three horizontal positioning holes to permit setting the height of the yoke.
  • Page 10 The xenon bulb manufacturer will extend no credit for a replacement reflector if the defective bulb is beyond war- ranty. Explosion-damaged reflectors are to be returned to the bulb supplier, NOT Strong International, unless the bulb was supplied by Strong.

  • Page 11: Operation

    OPERATION INSTALL THE GLASS HEAT FILTER into the bracket mounted on the rear of the fadeout and douser support housing. NOTE: The coated side of the filter, with the XX or other marking, must be facing the reflector. Reach through the side door and nose opening of the lamphouse, slide the filter into the slot in the top angle bracket, and lower it into the bottom slotted bracket.
  • Page 12 THE CENTER SECTION of the bulb positioning controls is a threaded member that focuses the bulb in relation to the reflector. Turning this adjustment moves the bulb in only one plane, into or away from the reflector. Turning this section clockwise moves the bulb away from the reflector. The small knurled screw to the left of this section can be tightened to lock the focusing mechanism after the following procedures have been completed.
  • Page 13 THESE ADJUSTMENTS should not be disturbed until it is necessary to replace the xenon bulb. At that time, the procedure on obtaining a smooth, round black spot, or “hot spot,” may have to be repeated. Replace the cover plate over the bulb positioning controls. BECAUSE OF NORMAL BULB AGING, and manufacturing tolerances between individual xenon bulbs, it may be necessary to operate lamps at slightly higher or lower current settings to maintain uniform light output when two or more spotlights are used in one installation.
  • Page 14 OPERATION OF OPTICAL SYSTEM THE IRIS CONTROL is the front lever which projects through the top of the optical system housing. When this lever is to the left (as viewed from the rear of the unit), the largest aperture is provided. Smaller apertures are obtained as the lever is moved to the right.
  • Page 15 OPERATION OF COLOR BOOMERANG THE COLOR BOOMERANG is equipped with six color holders and an ultraviolet filter. Additional filter holders can be supplied by an authorized Strong International Dealer. TO OPERATE INDIVIDUAL COLOR FILTERS, lower the desired filter selector lever. A rocker catch located in the color disc housing holds the filter in position.

  • Page 16: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE THE XENON GLADIATOR II SPOTLIGHT requires very little maintenance to keep it in good working order. THE REFLECTOR should be cleaned periodically with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to remove dust from the reflecting surface. If excessively soiled, the reflector may be cleaned with Windex ®...

  • Page 19 PRINCIPLE OF IGNITER OPERATION THE IGNITER is energized through the 115 V.AC control circuit when the LAMP “ON-OFF” switch (S2) is depressed and all interlocks and air flow switches are closed. CAUTION: Do not use the Emergency Ignition switch (S102) in the igniter until it is deter- mined that the polarity of the xenon bulb is correct.

  • Page 22: Trouble Chart

    DC current to the igniter and bulb. If an early model Strong switching type power supply is used, the power supply blowers will start at this point. THERE WILL BE a distinctly audible high voltage arc ping at the igniter arc gap and across the bulb electrodes.
  • Page 23 IF THE HIGH VOLTAGE ARC is not audible or the flash of the bulb visible, the problem is in the igniter or igniter PC board assembly. EXCHANGE of components (i.e. igniters, printed circuit boards) between two similar Strong Xenon Gladiators to aid in diagnosis of a problem is encouraged. This will not lead to equipment damage, and will not void equipment warranty.
