3. General Guidelines.

The Elektralite ML602 is a lighting fixture for professional use on stages, in churches, theatres, etc.
The Elektralite ML602 should only be operated at between 120 to 240 volts and only indoors. By 240

volts we mean that the neutral must remain a neutral and NOT be used as one phase in a 120v circuit to

create 208 volts across the Elektralite ML602. The reason for this is simple, the neutral is not protected
with a fuse. Any problem with that phase will not be protected by the Elektralite ML602.
The Elektralite ML602 should not be operated 24/7 (24 hours a day; 7 days a week). The Elektralite
ML602 needs operation breaks to ensure that it will work for a long time without problems. Please do not
shake Elektralite ML602 and avoid using brute force when installing or operating it.
When choosing the location to install the Elektralite ML602, please make sure that it is not exposed to
extreme heat, moisture or dust. The minimum distance between the Elektralite ML602 and the

illuminated surface must be more than 3 feet.

Always mount the Elektralite ML602 with an appropriate safety cable/chain.
Operate the Elektralite ML602 only when you are familiar with the features on the fixture. Do not permit

operation by persons not qualified to operate it.

All modifications to the Elektralite ML602 will invalidate the warranty. There are absolutely no
exceptions. That includes operation of the fixture at 208v using two different 120v phases.
If Elektralite ML602 is operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the Elektralite

ML602 maybe damaged and the guarantee will be void.

4. Installation

Please ensure that the Elektralite ML602 is hung using the appropriate "C" clamps or half cheeseboros
and the U brackets that come with the Elektralite ML602. A safety chain or cable should also be used as
a secondary point of holding the fixture in case the clamp comes loose. Never hang the fixture without

a safety chain or cable.

Mount the Elektralite ML602 either vertically upright or vertically down. DO not mount the Elektralite
ML602 sideways.

If you are not qualified or have any doubts about hanging the Elektralite ML602 then do NOT hang it.

Do not clamp the cable to the U bracket or clamp. That is not a secondary safety point.

A secondary safety point is any point that will adequately hold the Elektralite ML602 if the "U" brackets,
"C" clamps or half cheese-boros fail. Then the safety cable would be the backup and stop the Elektralite
ML602 from falling to the ground. So do NOT fix the safety to the same place that the "C"clamps/half

cheese-boros are attached.
