PREFACE THE STRONG XENON TROUPER, Type 48057, is a direct current follow spotlight com- plete with a xenon lamphouse, power supply, optical system, base and yoke assembly, and color boomerang. It utilizes proven design features of the Strong Xenon Super Trouper combined with advanced properties of the Strong Super Trouper II. Using a 700 watt xenon bulb as a light source, the Xenon Trouper meets or exceeds all professional requirements for short- to medium-throw follow spotlight applications.

INSTALLATION & SET-UP THE XENON TROUPER is shipped in sections which must be assembled. The Folding Base Stand Assembly 65838 is shipped collapsed, and requires only unfolding and securing the (4) base legs using the T-bolts supplied. WHEN INSTALLED in a permanent location, the leveling feet must be removed, and the clearance holes in the base leg brackets used for hardware (user supplied) to bolt the base to the floor or platform. If it is desired to have the unit portable, when operating, th

SAFETY PROCEDURES READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING XENON BULB THE XENON BULB is highly pressurized. When ignited, the normal operating temperature of the bulb increases the pressure to a level at which the bulb may explode if not handled in strict accordance to the manufacturer’s operating instructions. THE BULB is stable at room temperature, but may still explode if dropped or otherwise mis- handled. Breakage resulting from transport and handling is not covered by the bulb manufacturer’

10. Dispose of expired bulbs that are beyond warranty in the following manner: Wrap the bulb tightly in several layers of canvas or heavy cloth. Place it on a hard surface and shatter the envelope with a sharp hammer blow. DO NOT place an unshattered bulb in an ordinary refuse container. 11. DO NOT PERMIT UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL TO PERFORM OR ATTEMPT ANY PHASE OF XENON BULB HANDLING OR SERVICE. Cathode End Cap Anode End Cap Envelope Seal Anode Pin Cathode Seal Cathode Pin Anode

700 WATT XENON BULB INSTALLATION Type 48057 Trouper CAUTION: OBSERVE ALL SAFETY PROCEDURES. Put on the protective face mask. Wear clean cotton gloves to prevent marking the quartz envelope of the bulb with fingerprints. REMOVE THE TOP COVER of the lamphouse by removing the four Holt head (tamperproof) screws with the special screwdriver provided. Loosen the two knurled-head thumb screws (65152) on the front bulb support yoke and pivot the retaining plate (65151) aside. Slide the 65131 cl

REMOVE THE PLASTIC COVER from the xenon bulb. Store the protective cover and the original bulb packing in a secure location. The spare anode adapter (65199) is for use with an OSRAM 700 watt bulb (XBO700W/HS OFR) should such a bulb be used as a replacement. SECURE THE LAMPHOUSE COVER with the (4) tamperproof screws using the special screwdriver provided. The cover must be securely in position to actuate the interlock switch and permit lamp ignition. IT IS RECOMMENDED to establish a routine fo

OPERATION PLACE THE MODE SWITCH (on units so equipped) in the “MAN.” position and energize the xenon power supply. The lamphouse blower will start and actuate the blower interlock switch to permit bulb ignition. This lamp blower will operate continuously until the xenon power supply is de-energized. PLACE THE LAMP SWITCH in the ON position and the xenon bulb will ignite. Allow a few minutes for the current to stabilize, and read the lamphouse ammeter. The 700 watt xenon bulb must be operated

MOVE THE SPOT SIZE CONTROL HANDLE on the large lens carriage to the forwardmost position to project the smallest spot possible with the iris, choppers, and dimming controls in their full open positions. Project the spot to a wall or similar flat perpendicular surface opposite the spotlight. TURN THE CENTER FOCUS CONTROL counterclockwise until a small black spot is pro- jected on the wall. It may be well to run this adjustment both directions to permit positive identification of the dark spot.

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 a

EXHAUST SYSTEM INSTALLATION IF THE SPOTLIGHT is installed in a closed booth, it is recommended to vent the lamphouse exhaust to outside atmosphere to remove the heat from the booth. THE EXHAUST STACK of the lamphouse is designed to fit a six inch diameter duct. The exhaust system must be designed and installed is a way to eliminate any possibility of a down draft or of rain dripping into the lamphouse. The exhaust fan must be capable of removing 750 lineal feet (150 cfm) of air per minute at e

OPERATION OF OPTICAL SYSTEM THE IRIS CONTROL is the front lever which projects through the top of the optical system housing. When this lever is to the left (as viewed from the rear of the unit), the largest aperture is provided. Smaller apertures are obtained as the lever is moved to the right. THE SPOT SIZE CONTROL HANDLE is located on the right hand side of the optical system just above the base rail. A variation of spot sizes from full flood to small spot can be obtained by moving the s

OPERATION OF COLOR BOOMERANG THE COLOR BOOMERANG is equipped with six color holders and an ultraviolet filter. Additional filter holders can be supplied by an authorized Strong International Dealer. TO OPERATE INDIVIDUAL COLOR FILTERS, lower the desired filter selector lever. A rocker catch located in the color disc housing holds the filter in position. TO RELEASE A COLOR, push the filter release lever or engage another color, thus releasing the previous color automatically. TO REPLACE A FI

MAINTENANCE THE STRONG XENON TROUPER SPOTLIGHT requires very little maintenance to keep it in good working order. THE REFLECTOR should be cleaned periodically with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to remove ® dust from the reflecting surface. If excessively soiled, the reflector may be cleaned with Windex or an equiva- lent glass cleaner. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners of any kind. Clean the heat filter glass; replace with the coated surface toward the lamphouse. CHECK ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WITH THE “LAMP” SWITCH in the “ON” position, a distinct high voltage arc ping should be heard at the spark gap in the igniter, and the flash of the xenon bulb should be visible through the ammeter as a high RF voltage pulse is applied across the bulb electrodes. IF THE HIGH VOLTAGE PING or the flash at the ammeter is not apparent, check the “No Load” DC Voltage between the lamphouse and power supply. Check the DC voltage across terminals #10 (-) and #15 (+). A reading of 85-150 V.DC should be
