CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS • DO NOT HANDLE THE XENON LAMP WITHOUT PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, FACE MASK AND GLOVES. • EXPLOSION HAZARD EXISTS AS LAMP IS HIGHLY PRESSURIZED. • OBSERVE ALL HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY THE LAMP MANUFACTURER. • ONLY TRAINED PERSONNEL FAMILIAR WITH HANDLING XENON LAMPS SHOULD PERFORM LAMPING, UNLAMPING AND GENERAL LAMPHOUSE MAINTENANCE.
Model 1290 XLT Xenon Followspot Setup, Lamping and Operating Instructions SETUP The 1290 followspot comes in two parts: the head assembly, complete with electronic power supply and the base/yoke assembly. To begin setup, unfold the three legs on the base by pulling out each leg pin, lowering the legs and reinserting the leg pins.
Remove the lamphouse top cover by undoing the six security screws using the special torx wrench (TR25x100) provided with each followspot. On removal of the xenon lamp from its protective container, it is suggested by Lycian to remove the thin assist wire that goes across the lamp globe.
LAMPING (CONT’D.) Standing on the right hand side of the lamphouse, and holding the xenon lamp (+ve) terminal in the left hand, insert the (-ve) terminal through the hole in the rear of the reflector. Bring the front lamp holder up to meet the lamp and insert the terminal into the front lamp holder contact block. Do not tighten the two screws at this time.
DE-LAMPING (CONT’D.) Loosen the two socket cap screws (5/32) evenly on the front lamp support. Holding the negative terminal (front) in the right hand, ease the positive terminal (rear) out of the collar keeping hold of the lamp at both ends at all times. With the left hand ease the negative terminal out of the front support block and gently pull the lamp out from the back of the reflector.
LAMP OPTICAL ALIGNMENT With the fixture’s iris, fader and chopping shutter wide open, open the rear door of the lamphouse and rotate the bottom FIELD knob clockwise to obtain a ‘hot spot’ within the circle projected on a wall. This knob adjusts the xenon lamp in and out of the reflector. Loosen the top knob and by moving the knob around adjust the hot spot so that it is central within the main circle.
11 EFFECTS DIPSTICK SLOT Just behind the color boomerang is an effects dipstick slot which may be used for a fixed filter (eg: diffusion, color correction or UV). A two-filter dipstick is provided. 12 FIXTURE BALANCING The fixture is set at the factory for correct tilt balance with the front lens forward. There is a sliding weight in the front section of the fixture.
APPENDIX A TROUBLESHOOTING If the fixture fails to illuminate the following diagnostic guide may help to restore operation. 1) Fans not heard or felt to start when the 30A circuit breaker is switched on. a) Check that the supply voltage to the fixture is present and correct. 2) Amber STANDBY switch is not illuminated.
APPENDIX B OPTICAL SETUP AND ALIGNMENT SEQUENCE 1. Before the lamp is installed, ensure that the reflector mounting plate is square with the lamphouse sides. 2. Set the rear lamp adjuster so that the XY axis adjusting knob is in the center of its range of travel.

15. A circle of light will be seen on the front lens and should ideally be centered, although due to a small misalignment of the reflector it could be off center by about one inch. This is acceptable. (In order to make it centered, without adjusting the reflector, will require repositioning the iris until it is.
