GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTION

This fixture has been designed to perform reliably for years when the guidelines in this
booklet are followed. Please read and understand the instructions in this manual carefully
and thoroughly before attempting to operate this unit. These instructions contain important
information regarding safety during use and maintenance.

IP65 RATED

An IP rated lighting fixture is one, which is commonly installed in outdoor environments and
has been designed with an enclosure that effectively protects the ingress (entry) of external
foreign objects such as dust and water. The International Protection (IP) rating system is
commonly expressed as "IP" (Ingress Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65) where
the numbers define the degree of protection. The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection)
indicates the extent of protection against particles entering the fixture and the second digit
(Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection against water entering the fixture.

An IP65 rated lighting fixture is one, which has been designed and tested to protect against
the ingress of dust (6) and high-pressure water jets from any direction (5).

ENSURE ALL CONNECTIONS AND END CAPS ARE PROPERLY SEALED
WITH A DIELECTRIC GREASE (AVAILABLE AT MOST ELECTRICAL
SUPPLIERS) TO PREVENT WATER CORROSION AND/OR ELECTRICAL
SHORT CIRCUIT.

UNPACKING

Every fixture has been thoroughly tested and has been shipped in perfect operating
condition. Carefully check the shipping carton for damage that may have occurred during
shipping. If the carton appears to be damaged, carefully inspect your unit for damage and
be sure all accessories necessary to operate the unit have arrived intact. In the event
damage has been found or parts are missing, please contact our customer support team for
further instructions. Please do not return this unit to your dealer without first contacting

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND 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, avoid brute force when installing and/or operating fixture.

DO NOT operate fixture if the power cord has become 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, these 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 attach 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 in for service.

DISCHARGE LAMP WARNING

UV RADIATION NOTICE

This fixture emits intense UV radiation, which is harmful to the

eyes and skin. The intense luminance of the lamp can cause

severe damage to the retina. NEVER operate this fixture with

ANY of the protective covers removed. These covers have been

specially designed to shield against UV radiation.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

Please note that due to the nature of the Philips™ Platinum
21R Lamp and the optical path of the fixture, the lamp MUST
BE replaced at 1,500 hours.

Use only Genuine Original Philips™ Platinum 21R Lamps.
Other brand lamps may cause damage and void warranty!

This fixture is fitted with a DISCHARGE LAMP, which is highly
susceptible to damage if improperly handled. NEVER touch the
lamp with your bare hands, as the oil from your hands will shorten
the life of the lamp. Also, NEVER move the fixture until the lamp
has had ample time to cool. Lamps are NOT covered under
warranty conditions. Avoid switching the fixture ON and OFF
repeatedly in short intervals, as this will reduce lamp life and
intensity. To achieve the intensity associated with discharge
lamps, these lamps use gas sealed in a high-pressure
environment to emit a brilliant output.

Due to the high pressure involved with the construction of the lamp, the lamp MAY
EXPLODE DURING PROLONGED EXTENSIVE USE. This risk is increased with age;
added care is encouraged when dealing with older lamps. Thus, the lamp must always
be replaced at the end of their recommended duty cycle. Extreme caution should be
used when operating this or any fixture fitted with a gas discharge lamp.

LAMP INSTALLATION

LAMP REPLACEMENT

Please note that due to the nature of the Philips™ Platinum
21R Lamp and the optical path of the fixture, the lamp MUST
BE replaced at 1,500 hours.

Use only Genuine Original Philips™ Platinum 21R Lamps.
Other brand lamps may cause damage and void warranty!

INSTALLING OR REPLACING THE LAMP

To ensure a proper/safe lamp change, carefully read all the following instructions.

LAMP PROTECTION CIRCUITRY

Because of the nature of the extreme heat associated with the Philips™ Platinum 21 R lamp

and the unique IP65 rated sealed optical system, it is IMPERATIVE that the lamp be

replaced at 1,500 Hours or sooner. This is done to protect the internal sealed optical system

as well as prevent accidental lamp explosion, which could lead to hot glass particles falling

from the fixture.

FAILURE TO CHANGE THE LAMP WITHIN 300 HOUR of the 1,500 HOUR RATED LIFE,
WILL CAUSE THE FIXTURE TO AUTOMATICALLY SHUT DOWN!

At 1,500 Hours the LCD control display will begin to flash, “Replace The Lamp” and the

lamp will flicker for the first five minutes of operation. At this point the lamp has reached the

maximum rated life and should be replaced immediately. After the lamp has flickered for

about five minutes it should strike normally allowing the fixture to be used temporarily until

a replacement lamp can be installed. The fixture will continue to operate for an additional

300 hours, however the “Replace the Lamp” warning will continue to flash in the display.

Keep in mind that the flicker protection circuitry will only work for about 300 Hours (lamp

clock life of 1,500-1,800 Hours).

After 1,800 Hours the fixture will no longer respond to DMX commands and immediately

enter a hibernation mode that will electronically discontinue all fixture functionality with the

exception of a few menu commands. The fixture will continue to enter hibernation mode

until the lamp is replaced and the lamp clock has been reset. To replace the lamp follow the

safety guidelines and procedures listed on the next page.

ROTATING GOBO SPECIFICATIONS

* * * IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING CUSTOM GOBOS * * *

Due to the extreme high temperature optical system, which can reach up to 842°F (450°C),

special BOROFLOAT glass material and design requirements are required. Due to varying

gobo manufacturing processes and tolerances, it is highly recommended to provide a

gobo sample from the fixture to the custom gobo vendor for accurate sizing.

Extended testing of custom gobo designs is highly recommended prior to using.

PLEASE CONTACT ELAT ION CUST OMER SU PP ORT FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.

CUSTOM GOBO DESIGN GUIDELINES

* * * IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING CUSTOM GOBO DESIGNS* * *

Full Color / Solid Area custom gobo designs are NOT RECOMMENDED due to the

extreme high temperature optical system which can reach up to 842°F (450°C)

Custom gobo designs as illustrated below can burn during extended use periods.

PLEASE CONTACT ELATION CUSTOMER SUPPORT FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
