  • Page 7 Equipment Type 62-80106. If installing the Super Trouper II with an older model or type Strong xenon power supply, a ground wire must be connected to the power supply’s MS connector Pin M. Operation of the Super Trouper II with a xenon power supply other than a Strong 62-80106 will void UL compliance. ST2/005...

  • Page 8: Safety Procedures

    SAFETY PROCEDURES 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 mishandled.

  • Page 9: Bulb Installation

    WHEN ORDERED for 1000 or 1600 watt operation, the adapters required to install either of these smaller bulbs in the Super Trouper II lamphouse are supplied in the accessory kit. The front bulb support for the 1000 and 1600 watt lamphouses is a cast yoke (65117) which holds the stem of the cathode adapter. A retainer plate (65151) and two thumb screws (65152) clamp the stem of the cathode adapter into the yoke.

  • Page 11 1000, 1600 Watt Bulb Installation ASSEMBLE THE REQUIRED ADAPTERS to the 1000 or 1600 watt bulb as illustrated prior to inserting the bulb into the lamphouse. Be very careful not to apply any mechanical strain to the quartz envelope when installing adapters. Note the (2) different anode adapters; the longer anode adapter (24271) is for the 1000 watt Hanovia XH1000HS bulb only.
  • Page 12 2000 Watt Bulb Installation (continued) NOTE THE TWO NOTCHES at the center hole of the reflector. These notches allow addi- tional clearance between the grounded reflector and the energized bulb trigger wire. Rotate the bulb to align the trigger wire with one of these two notches to prevent the trigger wire from arcing to the grounded reflector. INSERT THE ANODE (+) PIN of the bulb into the rear support collet.
  • Page 13 BULB ALIGNMENT & LAMPHOUSE OPERATION PRIOR TO OPERATING THE SPOTLIGHT, verify the following conditions: The plastic protective cover has been removed from the xenon bulb. The strip heat filter is installed with the coated surface facing the bulb. The lamphouse access cover is in place and secured using all (3) phillips head screws;...
  • Page 14 THE TWO LARGE THUMB SCREWS to the left and right of the focusing control secure the horizontal and vertical position of the bulb. These two large thumb screws are spring-loaded to provide a degree of friction against the cast section of the control mechanism. BULB ADJUSTMENT CONTROLS Focus Control Thumb Screw...
  • Page 15 AFTER THE “HOT” SPOT is correctly positioned, tighten the two thumb screws to lock this adjustment in place. To verify that the bulb is at the optical centerline, turn the focus control clockwise to again project Spot “A.” The dark spot should remain centered in the spot projection as shown. ROTATE THE BULB FOCUS CONTROL (center section) to obtain the brightest light with even, flat light distribution (Spot “B”).

  • Page 16: Digital Display

    DIGITAL DISPLAY UPON ENERGIZING the LAMP circuit, the backlighting will illuminate the LCD screen. When the blower is operating and all access covers are closed and correctly secured, the display will appear as shown: 000V 000A 0000W 1234BLB 12345HR * FOR PURPOSES OF ILLUSTRATION, the above display indicates a non-operating bulb with 1,234 hours of use installed into a spotlight with 12,345 hours of operation.
  • Page 17 IF THE XENON BULB fails to ignite, additional diagnostic messages will display on the lower line of the LCD screen: CHECK PWR SUPPLY: If no DC current is sensed, and voltage does not exceed 125 V.DC, check the xenon power supply. Repair or replace as required. CHECK IGNITER: If the DC open circuit voltage reaches and exceeds 140 V.DC and the igniter fails to pulse, replace the igniter.
  • Page 18 HANDLING THE SPOTLIGHT THE SUPER TROUPER II can be operated from either side. Generally, the best position for the operator to stand is near the center of the spotlight, on the right hand side. The angle of tilt and the size or location of the porthole may alter the position for the most convenient operation.
  • Page 19 OPERATION OF OPTICAL SYSTEM THE IRIS CONTROL is the front lever which projects through the slots on 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.
  • Page 20 THE COLOR BOOMERANG is equipped with six two-part filter holders (51928 gel frame with slide channel and 51376 cover plate). Six sheets of assorted color gels are included in the spotlight accessory kit. Additional colors and filter holders can be supplied by your Strong International Dealer. Specify ROSCOLUX or equivalent high temperature gels.

  • Page 21: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE THE SUPER TROUPER II SPOTLIGHT SYSTEM requires very little maintenance to keep it in good working order. Routine cleaning is generally sufficient. THE REFLECTOR and the heat filter should be cleaned periodically with a clean, soft, lint free cloth to remove any dust from the coated surfaces. If excessively soiled, use a commercial liquid glass cleaner (i.e.
