To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the
back plate of the fixtur e or re fer to the fixture’s specifications chart. All fixtures 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 0–100%
switch. Before applying power t o a fixture, check that the source voltage matches the
fixture’s requirement.

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 must make sure the clamp is capable of supporting the weight of this fixture.

(CLP-02, CLP-10 recommended).

There are 2 types of mounting options for this fixture: floor stand for up
lighting, and overhead use for down lighting. You must use at least one (1)
safety cable/chain for each fixture in addition to the mounting clamp.

4. APPENDIX

General Maintenance

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixt ur es should be cleaned at least twice a
month frequentl y . Usage and env ironment are contributing factors in determining frequency. Dust
build-up reduces li ght output performanc e and can cause ov er heating, leading to reduced lamp
life and increased m ec hanic al wear. B e sure t o power off fixture before conducting maintenance.

Unplug fixtur e from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remov e dust
collected on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with
a mild solution of gl ass 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 grim e to t he outside of the lens. G ently
polish optical surfaces until they are free of haze and lint .

The cleaning of internal and external opti c al lenses and/or mi r r or s must be car ri ed out periodically
to optimize li ght out put. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixt ur e
operates: damp, smoky or parti c ular ly dirty surrounding can cause greater ac c um ulation of dirt on
the unit’s optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. Always dry the parts
carefully. Clean the external optics at least ev er y 20 days. Cl ean the internal optics at least ev er y
30/60 days.
