- Page 3 PREFACE THE STRONG ULTRA 80 is a reflector type, direct current lamphouse for large for- mat (70mm+) motion picture projection which uses a horizontally mounted xenon bulb as the light source. Type 40001 is designed for use with the XH7000HS xenon bulb, and Type 40002, for the XH10000V(H) bulb.
- Page 4 Douser Kit, connected to the projector motor, is available as an option. This option automatically closes the douser when the projector motor is switched OFF. THE ULTRA 80 is not designed for use with 35mm projection. The highly intense radiant energy generated by high wattage xenon bulbs will damage 35mm prints.

- Page 6 MECHANICAL LAMPHOUSE ALIGNMENT ONE ALIGNING KIT consisting of an aligning cord, aperture plate, dummy lens, and centering plug is supplied with each lamphouse to provide an accurate and reliable method of optical alignment of the lamphouse to the projector mechanism. Because of the relatively small arc produced by the xenon bulb, good screen results can be obtained only by the careful use of this aligning kit.
- Page 7 STORE THE ALIGNING KIT in a secure location in the projection booth. If the Ultra 80 reflector is ever removed or replaced, it is necessary to repeat the entire cord alignment procedure, Likewise, if a different type or wattage bulb is used in a subsequent relampment, it may be necessary to re-align the anode yoke to position it for the optical center of the replacement bulb.

Page 8: Exhaust System Installation
EXHAUST SYSTEM INSTALLATION THE EXHAUST DUCT of the Ultra 80 is designed to fit an eight inch diameter exhaust duct. This size ducting, either rigid or heat-resistant flexible, must be used throughout the complete exhaust system. The exhaust system must be vented to outside air, and installed in such a manner as to eliminate any possibility of downdraft or rain dripping into the lamphouse. - Page 9 LAMPHOUSE - POWER SUPPLY INTERCONNECTION DIAGRAM Ultra 80 U80/007...

Page 10: Wiring Installation
WIRING INSTALLATION THE LAMPHOUSE LEADS must be connected to the xenon power supply as illus- trated on the Installation Diagram. CONNECT THE TWO HEAVY FIBREGLASS INSULATED LEADS to the DC outputs in the power supply. Observe correct polarity; red to positive (+), black to negative (-). Tighten connections securely to prevent overheating. - Page 11 SAFETY PROCEDURES 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. The bulb is stable at room temperature, but may still explode if dropped or otherwise mishandled.
- Page 12 QUALIFIED PERSONNEL with protective clothing and face shield. THE XENON BULB requires no adapters to mount in the Ultra 80. All bulb mount- ing fixtures and electrical connections are designed for use with the designated xenon bulb (7000 watt for 40001;...
- Page 13 TURN ON THE MAIN LINE SWITCH to energize the xenon power supply. The POWER light on the lamphouse instrument panel will glow, the blower will start, and the air vane switch will close to permit lamp operation. The lamphouse blower will operate continuously until the main line switch to the power supply is opened.

AUTOMATION SYSTEMS TO INTERCONNECT the lamp to an automation system, two #16 AWG wires (not supplied by Strong) must be installed as illustrated on the Interconnection Diagram. These wires must be shielded to prevent interference in the theatre sound system. -
Page 16: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE THE ULTRA 80 LAMPHOUSE requires very little maintenance to keep it in good working order. Cleanliness is the most important element. THE REFLECTOR should be cleaned periodically with a soft, clean, lint free cloth to remove any dust from the reflecting surface. If excessively soiled, use of a mild commercial glass cleaner (Windex or equivalent) is acceptable;... - Page 17 B2 Side Blower used on 10 kW Type 40002 only 5 & 6: 115 V.AC to Power Supply Contactor (K1) 3 & 6: 5 Amp.

#2, #4, #7 or #8 lead, or a defective stepdown transformer in the xenon power supply. The Ultra 80 has an in-line fuse in the 220 volt blower circuit; check the fuse and replace if blown. Do not overfuse; use 3 A. slow blow. - Page 23 See your power supply manual for its correct “No Load” rating. The standard 40913 igniter printed board in the Ultra 80 is designed for use with a Strong switching power supply with high DC “No Load” voltage. Consult the factory if using an older high reactance xenon power supply with normally lower DC “No Load”...

- Page 25 Bulb goes out during operation (con’d.) Lamphouse blower B1 failed or obstructed. Clean dust and dirt from blower inlet grille. Check for 220 V.AC at 7 & 8; replace blower if defective. Blower fuse F1 blown. Replace if defective (3 A. Slo-Blo). Lamphouse air vane switch S4 or S5 faulty.
- Page 26 Extremely long duration between ignition pulses. Low DC “No Load” from xenon power supply. Check “No Load” voltage; see power supply manual. Defective spark gap E101. A “Ping” sound is normal; excessive “Hissing” is abnormal. Re- place if defective. Low AC voltage to lamphouse. Check for 115 V.AC at 2 & 4; if below 95 volts, check stepdown transformer in xenon power supply.
