Description of the device
Features
The Blacklight Set is a blacklight from Showtec.
• 120 cm. Blacklight
• Plug-&-Play
Overview
Fig. 1
Installation
Installing the Lamp
The Blacklight Set uses the 240V/36W TL (ordercode 80302P / 80302G) tube, as manufactured by all
popular manufacturers. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.
Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product
specification label for information.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.
The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.
Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the
device was not designed for.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
Procedure :
1. Turn the old TL-tube 90 degrees and remove the tube.
2. Take the new TL-tube. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass. Oil on hands shortens
the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off the glass with a clean, lint-free towel and rubbing
alcohol).
3. Insert the new tube with the lamp pins into the socket, then turn the tube 90 degrees.
Set Up and Operation
Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification
voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.
Use a ruler to measure the distance between the two assembly holes of the device. Mark the correct
position for the two assembly screws and make two 1,6mm holes. Use a screwdriver and 2 screws, in order
to fasten the equipment. Tighten the screws carefully.

Maintenance
The Showtec Blacklight Set requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and
then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe glass clean with glass cleaner and a
soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe
the connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or
supplying electric power.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be inspected
by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be inspected
by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
1. All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must
not be corroded.
2. There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
