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 and/or
damaged. If the power cord is 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 the fixture will function properly for
many years to come.
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. 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.
UV RADIATION NOTICE
severe damage to the retina. NEVER operat
been specially designed to shield against UV radiation.
LAMP REPLACEMENT

Lamp and the optical path of the Elation SNIPER PRO™
the lamp MUST BE replaced at 2,000 hours.
Use only Genuine Original Phillips™
brand lamps may cause damage and void warranty!
