1.0 INTRODUCTION

TheSkyTrackerisanoriginalproprietarylightingsystemdevelopedspecicallyforthe

display advertising industry and related technologies. Each unit is designed with highly

reliable mechanical, electrical and optical components to insure extended, trouble-free

performance.

An outgrowth from space age and military advanced technology applications, the Sky-

Tracker provides an easily transported base unit for the mounting and control of high inten-

sity searchlight(s). Searchlights for the four-beam system simultaneously move outward

and downward from a vertical starting position in a sweeping motion. They continue in a

“cloverleaf” pattern, converging momentarily at the vertical position to produce an intense

central column of light. The repetitive sweeping motion of the beams can be seen for miles

in every direction, pinpointing the location of the attraction.

Each light combines a xenon plasma arc light source with a precision electroformed metal

reectortoproduceacollimatedbeamofwhitelight(virtuallyidenticaltosunlight;color

temperature of 5600° Kelvin).

NOTE: This manual is intended to address the information requirements for

all “STX” models. Not all information is appropriate for both the STX-4 and

STX-1 models, or for all wattage lampheads. Be sure to apply the sections

2.0 SAFETY

The concept of achieving maximum safety through knowledge and understanding is basic to

SkyTracker equipment. This is applicable to its own personnel, those of the dealer, represen-

tative, operator, servicing agency or to any member of the general public who may be exposed

to or associated with the operation of a SkyTracker/Strong Entertainment Lighting product.

Safety features and concepts are designed into every SkyTracker/Strong product and

component regardless of whether its function is mechanical, electrical, or optical.
