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

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.
