SAFETY GUIDELINES

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.

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 in for service.

DISCHARGE LAMP WARNING

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. NEVER move the fixture until the lamp has had ample time
to cool. DISCHARGE 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, it 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.

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

THE PHILIPS™ MSD PLATINUM 200 FLEX LAMP MUST BE REPLACED
EVERY 6,000 HOURS OR WHEN DAMAGED AND/OR DEFORMED!

USE ONLY GENUINE ORIGINAL PHILIPS™ LAMPS. OTHER BRAND
LAMPS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE AND WILL VOID FIXTURE WARRANTY!

DISCONNECT THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING LAMP!
FIXTURE MUST COOL FOR 60 MINUTES BEFORE REPLACING LAMP!

NEVER TOUCH LAMP WITH BARE HANDS, ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES!
OIL FROM HANDS WILL SHORTEN LIFE OF LAMP!

MAKE SURE ALL COVERS/PANELS ARE REPLACED/SECURED BEFORE
OPERATING FIXTURE TO PREVENT ANY RISK AND/OR DAMAGE TO EYE
RETINA FROM UV RADIATION EXPOSIURE!

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 review 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.

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.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

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

THE PHILIPS™ MSD PLATINUM 200 FLEX LAMP MUST BE REPLACED
EVERY 6,000 HOURS OR WHEN DAMAGED AND/OR DEFORMED!

USE ONLY GENUINE ORIGINAL PHILIPS™ LAMPS. OTHER BRAND
LAMPS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE AND WILL VOID FIXTURE WARRANTY!

DISCONNECT THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY BEFORE REPLACING LAMP!
FIXTURE MUST COOL FOR 60 MINUTES BEFORE REPLACING LAMP!

NEVER TOUCH LAMP WITH BARE HANDS, ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES!
OIL FROM HANDS WILL SHORTEN LIFE OF LAMP!

MAKE SURE ALL COVERS/PANELS ARE REPLACED/SECURED BEFORE
OPERATING FIXTURE TO PREVENT ANY RISK AND/OR DAMAGE TO EYE
RETINA FROM UV RADIATION EXPOSIURE!

LAMP PROTECTION CIRCUITRY

Because of the nature of the extreme heat associated with the Philips MSD Platinum 200 FLEX
lamp and the tight nature of the internal optical system, it is IMPERATIVE that the lamp be
replaced every 6,000 Hours. This is done to protect the internal optical system as well as
prevent accidental lamp explosion, which could lead to hot glass particles falling from the
fixture.

At 6,000 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.

After 6,000 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
instructions and procedures listed on the next page.
