Congratulations, you have just purchased one of the most innovative and
reliable lighting fixtures on the market today! 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).
MARINE/COASTAL ENVIRONMENT INSTALLATIONS!
Please note although this fixture is IP rated, the fixture is NOTsuitable for marine
and/or coastal environment installations. Installing this fixture in a marine and/or
coastal environment may cause corrosion and/or excessive wear to the interior
and/or exterior components of the fixture. Damages and/or performance
issues resulting from installation in a marine and/or coastal environment will void
the manufactures warranty and will NOTbe subject to any warranty claims
and/or repairs.
Ensure ALL connections and end caps are properly sealed with a
non-conductive dielectric grease (available at most electrical suppliers) to
prevent water ingress/condensation and/or corrosion.
OPTIONAL CORROSION- RESISTANT COATING
Optional Corrosion-Resistant Coatings may be available for this fixture.
Please consult your Elation Professional sales representative for details.

DO NOT permit operation by persons who are not qualified to operate this type
of fixture. Most damages are the result of operations by nonprofessionals.
Consistent operational breaks may ensure the fixture will function properly for
many years to come.
DO NOT shake fixture, avoid brute force when installing and/or operating fixture.
Always install the fixture with an appropriate safety cable. When installing the
fixture in a suspended environment, always use mounting hardware that is no less
than M10 x 25 mm, also be sure the hardware is insert in the pre-arranged screw
holes in the bracket of the fixture.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Disconnect power before cleaning or 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.
