SAFETY GUIDELINES

PROTECTION CLASS 1 - FIXTURE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED

DO NOT PLUG FIXTURE INTO A DIMMER PACK! NEVER OPEN THIS FIXTURE WHILE IN USE! UNPLUG POWER BEFORE SERVICING FIXTURE! NEVER TOUCH FIXTURE DURING OPERATION, AS IT MAY BE HOT! KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM FIXTURE!

NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LIGHT SOURCE! RETINA INJURY RISK - MAY INDUCE BLINDNESS! SENSITIVE PERSONS MAY SUFFER AN EPILEPTIC SHOCK!

INDOOR / DRY LOCATIONS USE ONLY! DO NOT EXPOSE FIXTURE TO RAIN AND MOISTURE!

This fixture is a sophisticated piece of electronic equipment. To guarantee smooth operation, it is important to follow all instructions and guidelines in this manual. Elation Professional is not responsible for injury and/or damages resulting from the misuse of this fixture due to the disregard of the information printed in this manual. Only qualified and/or certified personnel should perform installation of this fixture and only the original rigging parts included with this fixture should be used for installation. Any modifications to the fixture and/or the included mounting hardware will void the original manufactures warranty and increase the risk of damage and/or personal injury.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

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, and 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.

When installing fixture in a suspended environment, always use mounting hardware that is no

less than M10 x 25 mm, and always install fixture with an appropriately rated safety cable.

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 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 periodically

with a soft cloth to avoid dirt/debris accumulation.

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

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections are recommended to ensure 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 electrical check by an approved electrical engineer every three months, to make sure the

circuit contacts are in good condition in order to prevent overheating.

- Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Loose 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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

A qualified electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or installations.

USE CAUTION WHEN POWER LINKING OTHER MODEL FIXTURES AS THE POWER CONSUMPTION OF OTHER MODEL FIXTURES MAY EXCEED THE MAX POWER OUTPUT ON THIS FIXTURE. CHECK SILK SCREEN FOR MAX AMPS.

DO NOT INSTALL THE FIXTURE IF YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DO SO!

Fixture MUST be installed following all local, national, and country commercial electrical and construction codes and regulations.

Before rigging/mounting a single fixture or multiple interconnected fixtures for custom matrix designs to any metal truss/structure or placing the fixture(s) on any surface, a professional equipment installer MUST be consulted to determine if the metal truss/structure or surface is properly certified to safely hold the combined weight of the fixture(s), clamps, cables, and accessories.

Maximum fixture ambient operating temperature is 113°F (45°C). Do not operate this fixture when ambient temperature exceeds this rating.

Fixture(s) should be installed in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or away from areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture by hand.

NEVER stand directly below the fixture(s) when rigging, removing or servicing. Overhead fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriately rated safety cable that meets all local, national, and country codes and regulations. Allow approximately 15 minutes for the fixture to cool down before serving.

CLAMP INSTALLATION

This fixture includes an adjustable mounting yoke with an integrated clamp mounting

point, as well as two (2) safety cable rigging points attached to the body of the fixture (see

the illustration below). When mounting this fixture to truss, be sure to secure an

appropriately rated clamp (not included) to the clamp mounting point on the yoke and

attach a separate SAFETY CABLE of the appropriate rating to each safety cable rigging

point on the fixture.

RIGGING

Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating

working load limits, understanding the installation material being used, and periodic safety

inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not

attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.
