RISK GROUP 3 - RISK OF EXPOSURE TO ULTRAVIOLET UV
RADIATION! FIXTURE EMITS HIGH INTENSITY WAVELENGTH OF
ULTRAVIOLET UV LIGHT FROM THE UV COLOR FILTER. WEAR
PROPER EYE AND SKIN PROTECTION. AVOID PROLONGED
PERIODS OF EXPOSURE TO UV COLOR FILTER. AVOID
WEARING WHITE COLOR CLOTHING AND/OR USING UV PAINTS
ON SKIN. AVOID DIRECT EYE AND/OR SKIN EXPOSURE AT

DISTANCES LESS THAN 11 feet (3.3m). DO NOT OPERATE
FIXTURE WITH DAMAGED/MISSING EXTERNAL COVERS. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO
THE UV LIGHT AND/OR VIEW UV LIGHT DIRECTLY WITH OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS THAT
MAY CONCENTRATE THE LIGHT/RADIATION OUTPUT. INDIVIDUALS SUFFERING FROM
A RANGE OF EYE CONDITIONS, SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE DIS-ORDERS, OR INDIVIDUALS
USING PHOTOSENSITIVE MEDICATION, MAY RECEIVE DISCOMFORT IF EXPOSED TO
THE ULTRAVIOLET UV LIGHT EMITTED FROM THE UV LED.

DO NOT TOUCH the fixture housing during operation. Turn OFF the power and allow

approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before serving.

DO NOT shake fixture, avoid brute force when installing and/or operating fixture.
DO NOT operate fixture if the power cord is frayed, crimped, damaged and/or if any of the

power cord connectors are damaged and do not insert into the fixture securely with ease.
NEVER force a power cord connector into the fixture. If the power cord or any of its
connectors are damaged, replace it immediately with a new one of similar power rating.
DO NOT block any air ventilation slots.
All fan and air inlets must remain clean and never blocked.
Allow approx. 6” (15cm) between fixture and other devices or a wall for proper cooling.
Always disconnect fixture from main power source before performing any type of service
and/or cleaning procedure. Only handle the power cord by the plug end, never pull out the
plug by tugging the wire portion of the cord.
During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may emit from the interior of
the fixture. This is a normal process and is caused by excess paint in the interior of the casing
burning off from the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over time.
Consistent operational breaks will ensure fixture will function properly for many years.
ONLY use the original packaging and materials to transport the fixture in for service.

MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE!

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is recommended to insure proper function, optimized light output, and
an extended life. The frequency of cleaning depends on the environment in which the
fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environments can cause greater
accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics. Clean the external lens surface at least every
20 days with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.

NEVER use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia-based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections are recommended to insure proper function and extended life.
There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture, please refer all other service issues
to an authorized Elation service technician. Should you need any spare parts, please order
genuine parts from your local Elation dealer.

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:
A detailed electric check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make
sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent overheating.
Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws may fall out
during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall.
Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware and rigging
points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the housing could allow for dust to
enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture
to fall and seriously injure a person(s).
Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments.
NEVER remove the ground prong from the power cable.

SPECTRACOLOR GUIDE

The Monet’s innovative SpectraColor system combines the established and well known CMY /
CTO controls with three Pure RGB flags that are seamlessly adjustable. These flags greatly
enhance the possible color range of the Monet for some truly outstanding colors that can be
difficult to achieve with only CMY controls.

It is recommended to familiarize youself with this unique color system, to fully unlock the
creative potential of the SpectraColor array.

Cyan, Magenta and Yellow saturation chosen for a wide color range and are aligned with other
colors in the Artiste range. CMY is a subtractive color mix which removes certain colors from the
light to create the desired color. Flags can be combined in any saturation to create a wide range of
mixed colors.

RGB are “pure” color points chosen for best saturation. These are also subtractive, e.g. adding the
Red flag will remove all other wavelengths. While it is possible to overlap the RGB colors it will
eventually black out the fixture as all colors are essentially reducing towards no output.
On consoles they should be shown as Pure Red, Pure Green and Pure Blue. This is done so
console colors pickers do no interact with the RGB flags. All color flags must default to 0% in the
console profiles.

Mixing CMY colors is identical to many other fixtures in the market. CMY colors can of course
combine with the CTO to create a warmer array of colors. Overall the behavior of the CMY system
should feel familiar and with the high intensity of the Monet all colors are brilliant and powerful.

The CTO filter is designed to adjust the Monet from its native color temperature of 6500K to
2700K. Full CTO in combination with Cyan Magenta or Yellow allow for a warmer color palette. For
example, Yellow shifts from a slightly greenish tone to a warm amber yellow. Utilizing the
adjustable CTO with the CMY system greatly enhances the color range of the Monet.

Using Pure Colors
Pure Red, Green or Blue are ideal colors to create subtle hues to saturated colors. Mixing a slight
blue shifts the Monet from White over CTB over light to medium purples until it reaches a rich
Medium Blue. Using Green allows teals and green tints similar to fluorescent fixtures until it
transitions into a bright medium green. These color tones makes the Monet an ideal tool for theater
and opera designers as the SpectraColor system allows to replicate many color spectrums
associated with unique light sources like metal halide, sodium vapor or fluorescent tubes out of
one fixture.

Creating Color Mixes Using SpectraColor
CMY and RGB flags can be combined as well to widen the color gamut of the CMY mix. Start with
a slight to saturated CMY color, then add a little of Red, Green or Blue to change the hue. Never
use RGB together, only one of those colors at a time will be useful. Otherwise the fixture will only
get darker as overlapping RGB acts like a dim to black.

Perceived Color Brightness
Please be aware that due to the very high intensity of the Monet the CMY colors may not look fully
saturated, especially when placed next to a lower intensity fixture. This is misleading as your eye
cannot handle the high intensity well and colors that are in fact identical may appear different to
your eye. To confirm simply dim down the Monet to match the output level of a comparison fixture.
You should find color appearing more saturated, even though nothing has changed on the color
itself. Reducing the output helps your eye to see the color better.

* * * IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING CUSTOM GOBOS * * *

Due to the high temperature optical system, special material as listed above is

required for custom gobos. Due to varying manufacturing processes and tolerances,

it is highly recommended to provide a gobo sample and holder from the fixture to the

custom gobo vendor for accurate sizing. Extended testing of custom gobo designs is

highly recommended prior to use. Contact ELATION SERVICE for further information.

GOBO INSTALLATION

3. The GOBO Wheel module is secured to the fixture frame rail with (4x) sliding slotted brackets.

To remove the module, loosen the (4x) Philips-head screws just enough (do not remove them) to
allow the slotted brackets to slide down.

4. The wire harnesses connected to the GOBO Wheel module are secured with a flexible metal stay.
Unbend this metal stay to ungroup the wires connected to the GOBO Wheel module.
