Replacing Lamps

1. Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace either lamps or fuse.

2. Ensure that the unit is sufficiently cool, before removing blown lamps.

3. Never touch new lamps with your fingers; use a tissue or a cloth.
In order to replace the lamps, disconnect from main power supply first, and unscrew the three screws on

the side of the unit, which are highlighted on the diagram (fig.1). Only use the appropriately rated lamps as
use of any other lamp type may cause the unit to be non-operational.

Due to the nature of halogen lamps it is vitally important that you do not touch the new replacement lamp
with your fingers, as this will reduce lamp life considerably. Once again a tissue or cloth can be used for
fitting the replacement lamp.

Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new CHAUVET lighting effect. We are confident you will enjoy
many trouble free hours with this unit. To assist with the care and use of the product we have prepared this
short guide.

Operation

Before connecting this unit to the mains power supply for the first time you must first install the lamps.
(See ‘Replacing Lamps’ for details) and the simulated flame cloth.

This lighting effect has been designed to function on a mains power supply of either 120V~60Hz or
230V~50Hz and has been fitted with a suitable power plug for use with your local voltage. Check the label
and voltage selector switch (if fitted) on the unit and the power plug for the correct voltage.

When connected to the mains power supply the unit should illuminate. The fan will also start to blow.
Due to the high operating temperature of halogen lamps it is advisable that the effect be used in well

ventilated areas taking care not to obstruct the air vents. After use allow time to ‘cool’ for safety and to
ensure lamp life before moving or touching.

The simulated flame cloth has two magnets attached. The magnets should be affixed to the two metal
plates above the air grill.

Installation / Mounting

Finally before using, check that the lamps are housed correctly in the lamp holder and that the top has
been screwed back into place.

If after replacement of the lamp, the unit is still not working then please contact your dealer or CHAUVET
for servicing.

Replacing Fuses

If the unit does not function at all when connected to the main power supply i.e. the fan does not blow, then
it is highly likely that the fuse has blown.

Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to replace either lamps or fuse.
In order to replace the fuse, disconnect from the main power supply first, and then unscrew the fuseholder

cover to reveal the fuse. The unit has a label attached which indicates the correct fuse rating and you will
also find this listed as part of the specifications for the unit later in this guide. It is most important that
replacement fuses are of the correct rating. Failure to use the correct fuse could damage the lighting effect
beyond economic repair.

The fuse should simply be placed inside the holder and the screw cap replaced, when this is done connect
to the main power supply to check. If the unit is still not working then please contact your dealer or
CHAUVET for servicing.

Cleaning

The body of the unit should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. We recommend internal cleaning be carried
out by a fully qualified technician.

This unit is designed to be used either standing on three legs or hanging. The three legs attach easily to
the bottom of the unit by means of two screws each. The screws will be found separately in a plastic bag.

Alternatively, you can hang the unit by means of the included chain. The chain affixes to the unit by means
of tree clips. Be careful to properly secure the chain when hanging the unit.

Use in a well-ventilated area without obstruction to air vents.

Maintenance & Servicing

Work on internal parts should be carried out by a qualified technician. Removal of covers other than to
replace the lamps or the fuseholder is considered a breach of warranty and will not be covered under any
such agreement unless authorized first by the company.
