Replacing intellaspot XT-1 Lithopatterns

You can use the steps in this section to replace lithopatterns if they are damaged or broken, to
change their order in the wheel, to clean them, or to install a new or custom lithopattern or effect.
(See Related Products and Accessories on page 5 for ordering information.)
WARNING! To avoid electrical shock, disconnect power before servicing.
Equipment surfaces may reach temperatures up to 130° C (266° F).
Allow the fixture to cool before handling.
If applicable, remove all pieces of broken glass in the fixture before beginning.
To replace a lithopattern or effects glass in a rotating effects or gobo wheel:
1. Use the Pan and Tilt locks to position the fixture upright and remove the fixture's head covers.
2. Manually rotate the gobo wheel until the selected lithopattern is easy to access.
3. Locate the spring securing the litho or effect to the wheel. Pull the
spring tip towards the center of the aperture. The spring will release from
its groove inside the aperture.
4. Remove the spring, the underlying ring and the lithopattern.
5. Place the new lithopattern or effect into the aperture.
Note: Install lithopatterns with the coated side away
from the lamp. Install effect glass with the smooth
side toward the lamp.
To determine which side of the litho is coated,
place the tip of a pen against each side of
the litho and view it from a slight angle.
On the coated side, the tip of the pen
appears to touch its reflection.
On the uncoated side, there appears to
be a gap between the pen and its reflection.
6. Place the ring over the lithopattern and replace the spring.
7. After replacing the lithopattern, clean it by using a soft, lint-free cotton cloth and a mild glass
cleaning solution (containing no ammonia).
8. Replace the bezel.
