Maintenance

To maintai n optimum per formanc e and minimi ze wear, the us er should cl ean the light
fixtures fr equentl y. Us age and envir onm ent are c ontr ibutin g f actors in det erminin g th e
cleani ng f requenc y. A s a rule, the user sh oul d c lean the fixtures at l e ast twice a m onth.
Dust buil d up red uces ligh t output perform ance and c an cause overheati ng. This can
lead to reduced light s ource life and inc reased m ec h anical wear .

CHAUVET® rec ommends cleaning t he fixtur e’s exter nal optic s with a s oft cloth usi ng
normal glass cleaning fluid.

To clean a fixture, follow the recommendations below:

• Unplug the fixture from power.

• Wait until the fixture is cold.

• Use a vacuu m (or dr y c ompress ed air) an d a s oft brus h to remove du s t coll ec t ed

on the external vents and r eac h abl e internal c omp on en ts .

• Clean all external optics and gl ass surfaces with a mild solut i on of gl a s s clean er or
isoprop yl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.

• Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the
outsid e of the lens.

• Gentl y polish the exter n al gl ass s ur f ac es unt i l th ey are free of haz e a nd li nt .

• When cleaning units w it h a mo vab l e mir r or , y ou s h ould keep the c ontact with th e

mirror surface to a minimum to avoid scratching or damaging it.

Technical Information

Dust Screen

Cleaning

Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them.

If the fixture ha s on e or m or e f an s, refr ain fr o m s pin nin g the m using co mpressed
air.

The Legend 1200E Spot fixture uses multiple fans. To prevent dust buildup on the
componen ts of t he optic path, eac h of th e fans on the for ward s ection of t he movin g
head have a dust screen as shown in the diagram below.

To acc ess th e dus t sc reens, r em ove the b ott om an d top h ous ings of t he m ovin g head ,
at which point you will have be able to remove the housing sides. Once you have
cleaned the dust screens, reverse the process to replace them.

Despite havi ng dus t scre ens, t he f ixt ure stil l nee ds r egu lar cl e aning of i ts len ses,
color wheels, and the other components in the optical path.
