Strong Enterprises FOLLOW SPOTLIGHT 48057 - Manual (Page 12)

HANDLING THE SPOTLIGHT
GENERALLY THE BEST POSITION for the operator to stand is near the center of the spot-
light, on the right hand side, although the angle of tilt and the size of the porthole may alter the position for the
most convenient operation.
EACH OPERATOR will, after a few minutes of operation, generally develop his own system
and position for operating the unit.
THE HORIZONTAL SWING LOCK LEVER and vertical tilt lock lever located on the base
assembly can be set to give the desired amount of friction on the spotlight swing to suit the individual operator.
THE LENS CARRIAGE FRICTION BRAKE is a nylon drag screw located on the outrider of
the large lens carriage, and is preset at the factory for most satisfactory operation. Individual requirements may
vary, and the brake can be adjusted to best suit the operator or allow for a severe “down” angle. Remove the
color boomerang and lens mechanism housing, loosen the nylon lock nut and adjust the screw on the friction
brake to apply the desired tension. Tighten the lock nut and replace the housing and boomerang.
REMOTE/AUTO OPERATION
TO IGNITE THE SPOTLIGHT from a remote location or an automation controller, the lamp-
house must be equipped with the MODE (Auto-Man.) switch. With the MODE switch in the “AUTO” position,
and the LAMP switch “ON”, the lamphouse will ignite by means of a dry contact across terminals 3 and 6 at the
lamphouse or power supply (See Lamphouse-Power Supply Interconnection Diagram). This type of installa-
tion is intended for use only if the spotlight is locked down as a fixed spot without an operator at the unit.
