Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that
all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box
and packing.
AC Power
To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of
the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating is its average
current draw under normal conditions. All fixtures 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. Before applying power to a fixture, check that the
source voltage matches the fixture’s requirement. Check the fixture 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 internal multi-tap transformer is set to match the line voltage applied. All
fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

Safety Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully, which includes important
information about the installation, usage and maintenance?
Please keep this User Guide for future consultation. If you
sell the unit to another user, be sure that they also receive
this instruction booklet.
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 decal or rear panel of the
fixture.
To prevent risk of fire or shock make sure there are no
flammable materials close to the unit while operating.
The unit must be installed in a location with adequate
ventilation, at least 50cm from adjacent surfaces. Be sure
that no ventilation slots are blocked.
Always disconnect from power source before servicing or
replacing lamp or fuse and be sure to replace with same
lamp source.
Secure fixture to fastening device using a safety chain.
Never carry the fixture solely by its head. Use its carrying
handles.
Maximum ambient temperature is Ta: 50°. Do not operate
fixture at temperatures higher than this.
In the event of 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
Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or attempt
any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, please contact
CHAUVET.
authorized technical assistance center. Always use the
same type spare parts.
Don’t connect the device to a dimmer pack.
Make sure power cord is never crimped or damaged.
Never disconnect power cord by pulling or tugging on the
cord.
Avoid direct eye exposure to lamp while it is on.
Check your power cables carefully to ensure that
there are no cuts or breach of integrity of the outer
shell at any point. Moisture could be drawn up inside
the cable due to a vacuum generated by heat inside
the fixture.
Protect connectors for both power and data lines in a
weatherproof housing or a weatherproof junction
box.
If you don’t hard wire the fixture to a weatherproof
junction box, make sure to use an IP55 or better rated
connector for both plugs and connectors.
Do not connect to a dimmer system.
For your protection, the fixture must be grounded and
the AC mains supply must be outfitted with a circuit
breaker and ground-fault protection.

SETUP
Lamp
You will need to install a lamp prior to the initial operation of the fixture.
Warning! When replacing the lamp, please wait 15 minutes after powering down to allow the unit
to cool down! Always disconnect from main power prior to lamp replacement.
Do not touch the envelope (glass area) of the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp
with alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.

command the fixture to display a white beam. Visit the “Lamp Alignement How-To” section in this
manual for further reading and tips on the subject.
9) Place the back cover plate back on the fixture and screw on securely.

Setup
LAMP ALIGNMENT HOW-TO
Often, after a new installation of a lamp, you will find that there is an uneven field of light or what is
referred to as a hot spot. This is due to the most intense point of the lamp source not being positioned
optimally within the reflector.
There are three lamp alignment screws provided at the base of the projector head, behind the back
cover plate. Turning these screws allow you to
optimize the projection quality of the spot as well
as the overall intensity of the beam.

B
1. Project a white flood against any flat surface.
Preferably the surface should be white or
D E
pastel in color.
2. Turning the lamp alignment screws, try to
position the hot spot in the center of the beam
as best as possible. This could require many
attempts on your part.
3. Once the hot spot is in the center of the spot,
Lamp Alignment Screws, A, B & C
C
do your best to turn all screws equally as to
affect movement up or down within the reflector.
4. As you move in and out of optimum lamp focus, you will see the hot spot either gets wider or
narrower. The goal is to either totally diminish the hot spot by having it widen and spread across
the entire spot or moving the hot spot so that it covers as much of the beam spot area as possible.
