plate of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s speci fica t ions chart. All fix tures must be powered
directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer
circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch. Before
applying power to a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the fixt ur e’s requir em e nt.

Warning! All fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth Ground.

Mounting

Orientation

This fixture may be mounted in any safe position.

Rigging

The fixture includes a mounting yoke to which a rigging clamp can be attached. You

4. APPENDIX

General Maintenance

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage
and environment ar e c ontributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixt ur es should
be cleaned at least twic e a month. Dust build up reduces light output perf ormance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off
fixture befor e c onduc ting maintenance.

Unplug fixtur e from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collec ted
on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a mild
solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free c ott on cl oth or lens tissue. Apply
solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outsi de of t he lens. Gently polish optical
surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/ or mir r or s must be car ri ed out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixt ur e operates:
damp, smoky or partic ular ly dir ty surrounding can cause greater ac c um ulation of dirt on the unit’s
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleani ng fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean
the external optic s at least every 20 days. Clean the internal opti c s at least every 30/60 days.
