Installation
Remove all packing materials from the StageBeam 300/500W PC. Check if all foam and plastic padding
is removed. Connect all cables.
Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly.
Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before cleaning or servicing.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
Set Up and Operation
Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your preferred operation mode.
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.
Connect the device to the main power supply.
Installing the lamp
The Showtec StageBeam PC 300/500W uses the GY9.5 Osram lamp, 300W (ordercode: 80703O), the
GY9.5 Osram lamp, 500W (ordercode: 80704O), the GY9.5 GE lamp, 300W (ordercode: 80703G) and the
GY9.5 GE lamp, 500W (ordercode: 80704G).
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 of higher wattage!
Lamps of higher wattage generate temperatures which the device was not designed for.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
01) Disconnect the StageBeam from power before installing the lamp. Allow 15 minutes to cool down
the lamp.
02) Loosen the locking screw from the color frame at the top view of the fixture.
03) Remove the locking screw at the back.
04) Remove the top cover.
05) Remove the lamp from the box and hold it by the base. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the
lamp bulb glass. Oil on hands shortens the lamp’s lifespan. If you touch the bulb glass, wipe it off with
a clean, lint free towel and rubbing alcohol.
06) Insert the lamp and fit it firmly within the lamp brackets.
07) Replace the top cover and the locking screw at the back.
08) Tighten the locking screw at the top view of the fixture.

Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related 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:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and
must not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The StageBeam 300/500W PC 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 lens clean with glass cleaner and
a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light-
output very quickly.
Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before supplying electric power.
Changing the lamp
01) Disconnect mains power supply. Allow the fixture to cool for at least 15 minutes before handling and
replacing lamp.
02) Read lamp instructions.
03) Follow directions for installing the lamp, page 8.
