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

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 this voltage. Check the label on the unit and the power plug for
the correct voltage.

Before beginning operation refer to section on Installing/Replacing Bulbs. Connect to the mains power supply and
switch on. The unit should illuminate casting an ultra - violet glow.

The duty cycle for this effect should be no more than 15 minutes on then 15 minutes off.

Installing/Replacing Bulbs

1. Disconnect from main power supply before attempting to install/replace lamp.

2. Ensure that the unit is sufficiently cool, before removing blown lamps.
In order to install the lamp, disconnect from main power supply first. Gently twist flourescent bulb counterclockwise to

remove (fig. 1). Replace bulb. Only use the appropriately rated bulb as use of any other lamp may cause the unit to
be non-operational.

Finally, before using, check that the bulb is housed correctly.

Cleaning

The most important part of your lighting effect to keep clean is the bulb as this allows the light output to transmit. This
should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. The body of the unit may also be cleaned in the same way. We recommend
internal cleaning be carried out by a fully qualified technician.

Troubleshooting

• If the unit is not functional - check main power supply is ‘on’.

• If the bulb does illuminate - shipping may cause bulb to loosen. Tighten bulb.

• If the unit is functional but lamp does not light - lamp may require replacing.
If after trying this solution you still have a problem contact your dealer or CHAUVET.
