1. GETTING STARTED

What’s In The Box?

• 1 x RayGun COB™ LED PAR Fixture

• This Lovely User Manual

Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations! You’ve found yourself one super bright LED beam xture capable

of producing 16.7 million RGBW mixed colors! Have fun and use it wisely! So now
that you’re the proud owner of a RayGun COB™ (or hopefully, COB’s!), you should
carefully unpack the box 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 materials. 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 off a switched circuit and cannot be run off 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 specications 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).

Getting A Hold Of Us

If something is wrong, just give us a call or send an email. We’ll be happy to
help, honest.

• Please keep this User Guide for future use. If you sell the unit to someone
else, be sure that they also receive this User Guide.

• ALWAYS make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage, and that
the line voltage you are connecting to is not higher than that stated on the

decal or rear panel of the xture.

• This product is intended for indoor use only.

• To prevent risk of re or shock, do not expose xture to rain or moisture.

• Make sure there are no ammable materials close to the unit while operating.

• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least
20in (50cm) from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are
blocked.

• ALWAYS disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing fuse
and be sure to replace with same fuse size and type.

• ALWAYS secure xture using a safety chain. NEVER carry the xture by its

cord. Use its carrying handles.

• DO NOT operate at ambient temperatures higher than 104°F (40°C).

• In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately.
NEVER try to repair the unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people
can lead to damage or malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized
technical assistance center. Always use the same type spare parts.

• NEVER connect the device to a dimmer pack.

• Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged.

• Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
