Setup & Operation
Unpacking
Unpack the fixture and carefully inspect for any signs of physical damage. Report any damage to Wildfire or
your local distributor immediately. Included with each unit should be the following items:
1. Pipe mounting clamp, designed to attach the fixture to a 11/2” to 2” pipe truss
2. Safety Cable, provided to secure the fixture when mounted on a pipe truss
3. Wildfire IronArc®Lamp, Model LMP-400D
Before mounting the fixture you will need to install the lamp. Refer to Lamp Replacement on page 6 for correct
installation.
Optional Accessories
Floor Stand- This aluminum stand set enables you to mount your Long-Throw fixture on the floor for footlight
applications. Contact Wildfire or your local distributor for pricing.
Installation
After installing the lamp place the fixture in desired location. The fixture is equipped with a yoke assembly for
mounting. The yoke may be fitted with either a pipe clamp (included) for mounting on a pipe truss or a baby bail
block or junior pin for mounting on a light stand.
If the fixture is mounted on a pipe truss, be sure to use the included safety cable, looping it through the yoke
assembly and around the pipe truss. This will prevent the fixture from falling and causing possible injury in the
event that the pipe clamp was not securely tightened.
To adjust the angle of the fixture, loosen the knobs on either side of the unit slightly, rotate to desired angle and
tighten. Care should be taken to support the front of the fixture while loosening the knobs to prevent the fixture
from rotating forward and causing possible injury.
The fixture comes standard with a 10” Bracket assembly for attaching dowsers and scrollers such as Wybron’s
Eclipse or Coloram Series, as well as barndoors and other accessories. When using accessories with this
fixture, be sure to attach the safety cable provided by the accessory manufacturer to the fixtures yoke assembly.
Plug the fixture into the appropriate power source. If you are controlling the unit with a lighting control board, you
will need to make sure it is plugged into a non-dim circuit. If the fixture is plugged into a dimmable circuit, it will
not operate.
Operation
To strike the fixture push the power/breaker switch to the on position. After striking the lamp allow at least 2
minutes for the lamp to get to full brightness. Once the fixture has been powered up and the lamp has ignited if
you shut it off you will need to wait approximately 5 minutes to allow the lamp to cool before the fixture can re-
strike.
If the power/breaker switch is left in the on position during the cool down period, the hot re-strike prevention
circuitry in the ballast will prevent the lamp from striking until it is completely cooled. Once it has cooled
sufficiently, it will strike automatically. This fixture is also equipped with automatic lamp failure protection circuitry
that shuts the fixture down if the lamp should fail for any reason, preventing any damage to the fixture. In
addition there is high temperature protection circuitry that shuts the fixture down if the ballast case temperature
exceeds 85° C. When the fixture cools it will strike again automatically.
