Unpacking the Starlite
Save the shipping materials
The shipping carton has been designed to protect the unit during transportation. If you ever need to
return the unit for repair or service, please ensure that the original cartons are used. Units returned in
inadequate packaging may void the warranty.
Flightcase (Roadcase) Design
Any case used for transporting the Starlite Mk 5 must be carefully designed. It must contain strong,
semi-rigid supports for the different sections of the unit, enclosed in a rigid outer casing. Ready made
flight cases can be obtained through your distributor. Starlite Systems Technology Ltd. (or its
distributors) will not be liable for any damage caused to a unit which is returned, to us, in a non-
approved flightcase.
Returning the unit to Starlite
All goods returned to the factory must be allocated a Return Number prior to shipping. This should be
obtained from your local distributor. The factory may not accept goods returned without a valid
Returns Number.
Electrical Connections
The Starlite Mk 5 is despatched without a plug fitted, allowing the user to choose the correct
connector for their particular circumstances.
Please observe the following colour code when fitting a plug to your unit.
• Green and Yellow Wire--- Earth (Ground)
• Blue---Neutral (Cold, Return)
• Brown---Live (Hot, Phase)
It is the sole responsibility of the owner / user to correctly fit the proper plug in accordance with
local regulations.
WARNING: CLASS 1 EQUIPMENT. THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED.
Power Requirements
Each Starlite Mk 5 should be powered from its own separately protected supply.
The cabling and circuit protection on these spurs must be of suitable rating for the units connected to
them. See the ratings label on the connector panel situated on the base of the unit for details.
Please also note the following points:
• Once the lamp has come up to temperature, the Starlite Mk 5 draws a constant current.
Therefore please allow for this when cabling up the unit(s).
(See Specifications (Electrical))
• DO NOT connect the Starlite Mk 5 to any type of dimmer circuit.
• On powering up, the lamp and its power supply draw a peak (surge) current that is
several times more than its normal operating current. For this reason, please ensure that
circuit protection is of the high-surge type. i.e. high-surge thermal breakers
• Because of the initial high-surge current, it is recommended that multiple units are
switched one at a time and allowed to come up to temperature.
• Magnetic circuit breakers are not recommended for Starlite Mk 5 circuit protection due to
the various different types and their different tripping characteristics.
