4. Installation
a. Lamps
• Only fit or replace a lamp when the device is unplugged from the mains.
• Let a lamp cool down before replacing it as the temperature of a lamp can reach 700°C during operation.
• When handling a halogen lamp, do not touch it with your bare hands. Use a cloth to insert or remove it.
• Do not install lamps with a higher wattage than what this device was designed for.
• Replace any deformed or damaged lamp with a lamp of the same
type (see “Technical Specifications”):
1. Open the top cover of the rear panel by unscrewing the 3 screws
marked X, Y and Z.
2. Remove the old lamp from the socket and insert the new one
tightly into the socket.
3. Adjust the lamp holder (1 ~ 1.5mm from the lens) by fine-tuning
the 3 screws marked A, B and C to get maximum light output.
4. Close the lamp compartment.
b. Lamp Adjustment
The AERON 575W lamp holder is aligned at the factory. Due to differences between lamps, fine adjustment
may improve light performance. Strike the lamp, open the shutter and the iris. Set the dimmer intensity to
100% and focus the light on a flat surface. Centre a hot spot (the brightest part of the image) by using the 3
adjustment screws “A, B, C”. Turn one screw after another a quarter-turn clockwise or counter-clockwise .If
you cannot detect the hot spot adjust the lamp until the light is evenly distributed.
c. Mounting the Device

• The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for 1 hour without
deforming.

technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the installation
material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install
the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5m radius of the device.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Do not connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
