Installation
Installing the Lamp
The Showtec Multi Profile Spot uses a GKV-600 Lamp (ordercode 80824 / 80825 / 80826), 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. Disconnect the Multi Profile Spot before installing the lamp.
2. Loosen the knurled bolt on the back of the lamp housing and pull the housing out.
3. Holding it by the base, remove the lamp from its retention box. 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.)
4. line up the lamp base with the hole of the retention box (Fig. 3).
5. Push down on the lamp base until the lamp seats firmly. Caution! Improperly installed lamps cause
premature lamp failure and socket problems.
6. Reinstall the lamp housing by aligning the bolt hole and tightening the knurled bolts.

Shaping the beam
You may shape the beam with the shutters, a pattern, an optional drop-in iris, or by rotating the barrel.
Pattern Projection
The pattern holder slot is on the top side of the barrel and in front of the shutters. It accommodates A-size,
B-size and glass pattern holders (Fig.9).
Fig. 9
Note: Because the Multi Profile Spot is 3 inches wide, you can use A-size patterns for maximum pattern
effectiveness.
Use an optional donut in the accessory holder to enhance pattern projection.
Drop-in Iris-Slot
The Drop-in Iris slot is located on the top of the barrel and in front of the pattern holder slot. It
accommodates either a drop-in iris or a motorized pattern device. When the slot is not in use, a small
sheet metal cover secured with 2 screws prevents light leakage (Fig.10).
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws on the drop-in iris slot cover. Do not remove the screws.
2. Slide the cover completely forward to expose the slot.
3. Insert the iris or motorized pattern device. For an iris, install the flat side towards the shutters and make
sure that the iris handle extends from the slot.

Maintenance
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.
3. Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Showtec Multi Profile Spot requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Otherwise, the 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 glass will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light-
output very quickly.
Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections
with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying
electric power.
Changing the Lamp
1. Disconnect mains power supply, and allow 15 minutes to cool down.
2. Loosen the knurled bolt on the back of the lamp housing and pull the housing out.
3. Holding it by the base, remove the lamp from its retention box.
4. Follow directions for installing a new lamp, page 6.
