Vizi Spot 5R Important Discharge Lamp Warning
This fixture is fitted with a discharge lamp which is
highly susceptible to damage if improperly handled.
Never touch the lamp with your bare fingers as the
oil from your hands will shorten lamp life. Also, never
move the fixture until the lamps have had ample time
to cool. Remember, lamps are not covered under war-
ranty conditions.
This unit emits intense UV radiation which is harmful to the eyes and skin.
The intense luminance of the lamp can cause severe damage to the retina.
Never operate this unit without it's covers, these covers have been specially
designed to shield against UV radiation.
Epileptic Warning: Those suffering from epilepsy should avoid looking directly
into the lamp at all times.
Avoid switching the fixture on and off repeatedly in short intervals as this will
reduce lamp life and intensity.
To achieve the intensity associated with discharge lamps, these lamps use gas
sealed in a high pressure environment to emit a brilliant output. Due to the high
pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, the lamp may explode
during prolonged extensive use. This risk is increased with age, added care is
encouraged when dealing with older lamps. Extreme caution should be used
when operating this or any fixture fitted with a gas discharge lamp. Never
open this unit while in use.
VERY IMPORTANT:
This is for your safety and the life length of the unit.
The Philips® Platinum 5R Discharge lamp has lifetime of 2000 hours.
When the lamp reaches the 2000 hour mark, the display will begin to flash
"LAMP". When the lamp reaches the 2000 hour mark and power is applied,
the lamp will strobe for 5 mins. and the display will begin to flash "LAMP".
You may continue to run the fixture and use the lamp for another 300 hours.
Once 2300 hours is reached the LCD display will will begin to flash "LAMP",
the DMX signal will shut off, and the fixture will go into hibernation status and
will not move.
Any fixtures daisy chained to the unit will stay powered on, as long as their
respective lamp has not reached 2300 hours. The unit will start running again
once you have replaced the lamp and cleared the LAMP RUNNING TIME
(see top of page 25 "CLMP"). Clear the LAMP RUNNING TIME after you have
replaced the lamp. See page 53 for lamp replacement instructions.
Warning: DO NOT use this lamp more then 2300 hours. Using the lamp
any longer then the set life could seriously damage your unit.

When installing the unit, the trussing or area of installation must be
able to hold 10 times the weight without any deformation. When
installing the unit must be secured with a secondary safety attach-
ment, e.g. and appropriate safety cable. Never stand directly below
the unit when mounting, removing, or servicing the unit.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including calculat-
ing working load limits, installation material being used, and perodic
safety inspection of all installation material and unit. If you lack these
qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself.
These installaiton should be checked by a skilled person once a year.
The Vizi Spot 5R is fully operational in two different mounting posi-
tions, hanging upside-down from a ceiling or set on a flat level sur-
face. To avoid internal damage to the unit, never mount the unit on
its side as illustrated above. Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m
away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). Always use
and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent
accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails (see next
page). Never use the carrying handles for secondary attachment.
