Getting It Out Of The Box
Congratulations on your purchase of the way cool ProPar™ COB LED xture! Now that
you’ve got your ProPar™ COB (or hopefully, COBs)
and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep
the packing material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing materi-
als. If a xture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the xture be returned
in the original factory box and packing.
Powering Up!
All xtures must be powered directly o a switched circuit and cannot be run o a
rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.
AC Voltage Switch - Not all xtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that the
xture you receive is suitable for your local power supply. See the label on the xture or
refer to the xture’s specications chart for more information. A xture’s listed current
rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the xture or device
carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists that it is set to the correct
line voltage you will use.
Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line
voltage applied. Damage to your xture may result if the line voltage applied does
not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All xtures must
be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).
, you should carefully unpack the box
