5. Installation
a) Fitting the lamp
• To insert the MSD250/2 lamp loosen the lamp cover at the rear of head by removing the 3
fastening screws which are marked "X, Y, Z".
• Carefully pull out the cover with the lamp socket assembly.
• If changing the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket and insert a new lamp into the socket.
• Do not install a lamp with a higher wattage! These lamps generate temperatures the device is not
designed for. Please follow the lamp manufactures notes! Do not touch the glass bulb with bare
hands during the installation!
• Make sure that the lamp is installed tightly into the lamp holder system.
• Close the lamp cover and tighten the 3 screws.
b) Lamp adjustment
• The lamp holder is aligned at the factory. Due to difference between lamps, fine adjustment may
improve light performance.
• Strike the lamp, open the shutter and the iris, set the dimmer to 100% and focus the light on a
flat surface (wall).
• As the optimum distance of the lamp from lens was adjusted during the installing or changing the
lamp (by turning screw "A"), it is necessary to adjust only the second position by turning screw
"B", in order to centre the hot-spot (the brightest part of the beam).
