4. APPENDIX
General Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage
and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should
be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off
fixture before c ond uc ti n g m ain tenanc e.
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust
collect ed on ext ernal ven ts and internal c om p on ent s . Cl ean all gl ass w h en the fixtur e is c old w it h a
mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply
solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical
surfac es un til they ar e fr ee of h az e and lint.
The clean in g of intern al and external op tical lens es and/or mirrors mu s t be c arri ed out p eri odi cally to
optimi z e ligh t output. Cl ean ing frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates:
damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. Always dry the parts carefully. Clean
the external optic s at leas t e very 20 days. Cl ean the int er n al opt ic s at leas t ev ery 30/60 d ays.
