3. SETUP
The COLORbar™ SMD has an autovoltage range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and
wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or
refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the
product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect the product to a protected circuit
sure the product has
electrocution or fire.
Never connect the product to
if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0% to 100% switch.
Replacement
Follow the instructions below to change the fuse, if necessary.
Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.
1. Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
2. Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
3. Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same
type and rating.
4. Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
The product does not ship with a spare fuse; however, the safety cap has room
for a spare.

be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to
increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
• Unplug the product from power.
• Wait until the product is cold.
• Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
the external surface/vents.
• Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass
cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
• Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
• Softly wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the transparent surface.
• Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
