THE XENON SUPER TROUPER SPOTLIGHT requires very little maintenance to
keep it in good working order.
THE REFLECTOR and heat filter glass should be cleaned periodically with a clean,
soft, lint free cloth to remove any dust from the reflective surface. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CHECK ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS periodically for tightness, espe c ially
the bulb connections and other leads in the DC circuit.
THE XENON LAMPHOUSE requires no lubrication other than the blower motor. This
should be lubricated with two or three drops of non-detergent oil at each oil hole every six months.
The lamphouse cover must be removed to expose the oil holes.
THE XENON BULB should be checked occasionally for presence of foreign material
on the quartz envelope. Any dirt or other foreign material must be removed immediately. CAUTION:
Observe all safety procedures when working around the exposed bulb.
THE INSIDE OF THE LAMPHOUSE and the blower should be cleaned peri o dically,
depending on the dust conditions at each installation. The blower requires cleaning to remove dust build
up which accumulates over a period of time. Keep the air inlet grille clean to permit free air flow.
AN ARC STABILIZATION MAGNET is mounted to the base of the lamphouse
below the reflector and is required by xenon bulb manufacturers for the correct operation of the
2000 watt horizontal bulb. If removed for any reason, it must be replaced with the NORTH seeking
pole (unpainted) toward the right (operator's) side of the lamphouse. The presence of this magnet is
not detrimental to the operation of 1000 or 1600 watt bulbs, if used in place of the 2000 watt bulb.
THE OPTICAL SYSTEM LENSES must be kept clean to prevent any light reduc-
tion in the projected spot. To gain access to the lenses, tighten the horizontal swing and vertical tilt
locking clamps, and remove the color boomerang and optical system housing.
CLEAN THE PROJECTION LENS and large lens with any cleaner approved for use
on coated projection lenses. If the projection lens is removed for cleaning, note the direction of the
lens when reinstalling. The lens tube is marked with arrows indicating the end nearest the iris.
WHEN TRANSPORTING the spotlight, it is recommended that the xenon bulb be
removed and placed in its original shipping carton with the cover on to insure against breakage. If
the spotlight is equipped with the standard 2 kW bulb shock mount, the unit may be transported with
the bulb installed, assuming reasonable caution is exercised. Under no circumstances should the unit
be moved until the bulb has cooled to room temperature.
