Performer Operation Manual 17

Aligning the Lamp

Important note: The Performer Series Followspot is supplied with the lamp

already aligned. These instructions are only for alignment of a new lamp. Due to

the precise tolerances of the lamp in the optical system, only minimal adjustment

(if any) should be necessary.

To simplify aligning the lamp, ensure the following steps are completed.

1. Switch the followspot on

2. Allow the lamp to achieve its correct operating temperature and brightness.

3. Turn the Peak / Flat control knob to the peak setting.

4. On the side control panel, ensure the operator controls are set to the following positions:

a. CTO : Out

b. Iris : Open

c. Vertical Shutters : Open

d. Horizontal Shutters : Open

e. Dowser : Open

f. Frost : out

5. Slide the Zoom Control to the wide position, and focus the beam to a hard edge.

6. Remove any colour frames from the beam.

7. Shine the followspot onto a flat surface 10+ Metres (18+ feet) away. For distances under 10 metres,

turn the power output down until the beam can be observed comfortably or shine beam onto dark

surface.

The Followspot is now ready to align the lamp.

Using a Philips screwdriver, centre the hot spot in the middle of the beam by adjusting the three position

screws located in the centre of the lamp access cover. Turning the screw (clockwise or anticlockwise,

depending on the lamp) will move the hot spot towards the centre. Only minimal turning (if any) will be

required.

Once the lamp is aligned, the Peak / Flat control knob can be used to adjust the field of the beam to the

desired setting.

Safe Practice

Heat

The Performer Series Followspot incorporates an innovative design to effectively remove the heat out of the

luminaire, away from the critical heat-sensitive components such as the lamp base and wiring. The

components that form part of the heat removal system will operate at temperatures which can burn you!!!

Take care in handling the luminaire.

We recommend that the followspot is cooled down before any maintenance is performed inside the luminaire.

Fans and Cooling Vents

Check before use to ensure all fans are operational, and there is nothing blocking the fans or vents. Do not

operate if any of the fans are not working.

Tilt Lock

Take care when releasing the tilt lock as the luminaire may suddenly swing down.

Mains Isolation

The followspot is fitted with a micro-switch that automatically disconnects the mains power when the lamp

access tray is opened. However, it is also recommended that the luminaire should always be electrically

isolated from mains power before re-lamping, cleaning or servicing.
