Steris Gemini OR light Service info request

I have a dual head Gemini with good bulbs but the fuse in each head was blown. (20 amp?).  I replaced both fuses and only one of the two heads worked OK, the other blew the fuse again.  I have no wiring diagram or service manual.  Can anyone help ?

I would do a continuity check on the wiring. It sounds like the wires might be twisted or pulled and the unit is drawing the extra amps to overcome the resistence.

The unit might also need a "slow blow" fuse. I had this problem when I was a tech at another lighting manufacturer. They used a "slow blow" fuse and when I told a customer just to go get a standard fuse the engineers went crazy.
