How to adjust the MAC Viper series lamp to center hotspot or remove for a more flat field.
For MAC Viper Series lamp replacement procedure please see MAC Viper Series Lamp Replacement
Procedure:
- Ensure a large white screen, canvas or wall is available for projecting the beam.
- Position the fixture approximately 8 to 10 meters (26 to 33 ft) from the screen.
- Aim the fixture so the beam projects onto the screen at a approx. 90° angle.
- To assist in identifying hotspots and evaluating beam flatness, use a mobile phone camera aimed at the projected beam on the screen, wall or canvas.
Do not aim the camera directly at the fixture! - Set the zoom to its widest position and focus the beam.
Lamp Adjustment:
To adjust the lamp, carefully turn the three T20 Torx adjustment screws (C, D, and E) until the beam appears as even and uniform as possible across the projected area.
