INSTRUCTIONS FOR SETTING UP LUMINATOR
FOLLOW SPOTLIGHT
Packaged in 2 boxes; one contains follow spot head with yoke attached, second box; standpipe, base and
three casters with fasteners.
Assembling the Follow Spotlight
With the fins on base legs facing upward, install casters onto base. Screw pre-assembled threaded
standpipe into hole at center of base. Remove ½ inch bolt from telescoping pole and insert through hole in
bottom of yoke. Reinsert bolt into pole and tighten. When the head is attached to the pole the color boom
shall be on the right. “T” handles on each side of spot tightens head to the yoke. Some prefer handles kept
loosened for easier movement, adjust to your preference. Your follow spot is assembled and ready for
use.
There are two focus knobs, one on the underside for major
focus adjustments; the other located top rear for fine-tuning.
When first igniting the lamp you may see smoke. This is normal
during burn-in. It will disappear after a few hours usage. If
controls appear stiff, they will correct with use.
The iris leaves, constructed of stainless steel, must be tempered.
Igniting the lamp, closing the iris and letting it burn-in for 2
minutes will accomplish this. Reopen iris fully to allow for cool
down. Repeat this procedure until iris stops smoking and leaves
have turned a bluish/black color. Do not “burn-in” iris for
more than 2 minutes each time, you could cause severe
damage to iris leaves. Tempering should be completed after
a few burn-ins.
Lamping: Your follow spot is supplied with a factory installed
lamp. When replacement is necessary, use a cloth towel to
install new lamp. Apply slight pressure to slide lamp into
position. Be sure to wipe lamp clean of any fingerprints, oil or
dirt. A dirty lamp will blister and burn out prematurely. The lamp to use is the 360W FLE…..Always
keep a spare lamp with follow spot.
This follow spot draws 4 amps. If an extension cord is needed, the standard household variety is
acceptable. If you have any questions, the Altman dealer from whom you purchased this follow spot will
assist you. Be sure to ask him for an Altman follow spot brochure to learn about other models available.
