Safety Warnings
Not for residential use.
CAUTION: Hot Surfaces, Avoid contact by persons or materials.
The SPX has some hot surfaces. Be careful to avoid burns. Take care with the lamphouse
and heat-sink. We suggest the use of leather gloves when focusing these luminaires.
SAFETY – Double Insulated
The SPX range is a Class 2 appliance that is double insulated for increased safety and
lower maintenance. Earth continuity testing is not needed. Refer to page 11 for testing
procedure.
SAFETY - Mains Power Isolation
The SPX range is fitted with a micro-switch that automatically disconnects the mains
power when the lamp holder is removed. However, it is also recommended that the
luminaire should always be electrically isolated from mains power before re-lamping,
cleaning or servicing.
CAUTION: Risk of fire - use with maximum 800W lamp.
CAUTION: These luminaires are not suitable for mounting on a normally flammable
surface.
These luminaires are not suitable for outdoor use. They are rated at IP00.
The luminaire should be at least 1.2 metres/4 ft away from the nearest object it is lighting.
The SPX range can be operated only through a range of angles 90 either side of
horizontal.
Operating your Luminaire for the First Time
Familiarise yourself with the way the shutter and reflector assembly can be rotated by loosening the rotating
clamp (drawing page 9), and turning the assembly. Note how the colour frame is locked into the front of the
lens tube with the front accessory cover.
The SPX provides for mounting 2 pattern holders. Practice inserting them into both the front and rear position
as it is easier to familiarise yourself before rigging the luminaire.
The SPX has a shutter lock. Make sure this is in the unlocked position. Refer P.7
Lamping Procedure
Remove the lamp module by loosening the 2
locking thumbscrews on the rear. Align the pins
of the new lamp to the holes in the lamp socket
and push the lamp firmly home. Do not touch
the quartz envelope of the lamp with your
fingers. Replace the lamp module and tighten
the locking thumbscrews. Reconnect the mains
power. Always take great care when making
adjustments to the lamp, as its filament is
fragile. N.B. The mains power supply is
automatically disconnected by a microswitch as
the lamp module mount screws are loosened.
