Installing the Lamp

The Showtec Titan Strobe uses the PX-1800 (ordercode 82692) lightbulb as manufactured by all popular
manufacturers. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.
Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product
specification label for information.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the
device was not designed for.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
DANGEROUS: Leave the device disconnected for 15 min before opening. Otherwise you could be
seriously injured due to a power shock !!!
Procedure :
1. Disconnect from main power supply, and leave for 15 minutes.
2. Remove the glass cover. With the left hand gently pull the lamp out the spring, while pushing the spring
back with the right hand.
3. Remove the lamp. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass. Oil on hands shortens the
lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off the glass with a clean, lint-free towel and rubbing alcohol.)
Hold the lamp with one hand and Insert the lamp into the spring. Put the glass cover back.
