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

When connected to the mains power supply the bulb should illuminate and the reflector
dish should rotate.

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

Replacing Lamps

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

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

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

screws to remove the lamp replacement cover, which is 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.

Finally before switching on, check that the lamp is housed correctly in the lamp holder and
that the lamp replacement cover has been screwed back into place.

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

Cleaning

The most important part of your lighting effect to keep clean is the colored dome and the
reflector dish as they allow the light output to transmit. These 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.

Maintenance & Servicing

Work on internal parts should be carried out by a qualified technician. Removal of any
covers other than the lamp replacement access is considered a breach of warranty and
will not be covered under any such agreement unless authorized first by CHAUVET.

Troubleshooting

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

• 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 CHAUVET.

Caution

No user serviceable parts inside, please refer to CHAUVET for service.

Power Connections

The unit is supplied with a power plug appropriate to its voltage and destination. Should
any other connections be required they must be carried out with the following
configuration.

Earth = Green/Yellow cable
Neutral = Blue cable
Live = Brown cable

In the USA & Europe, it is required that all plugs are 3-pin type i.e. with Earth/Ground
connection.
In the UK, it is required that all mains plugs are fitted with 5A fuses.
