Introduction
The Dome .....................................................................................................................intro-1
Optional Acces sori e s . .............. ............... ............... ............... ............... .............. ...........intro-1
Congratulations on your purchase of the Ecodome® architectural housing. Ecodome is a
weather-resistant, modular outdoor housing system designed for the Studio 250™ series
and the Studio 575™ series of fixtures from High End Systems
ergonomic styling is both attractive and unobtrusive and gives a clean look to any
architectural setting in which it operates.
Ecodome’s high-density polymer is colored neutral gray. However, Ecodome can be
ordered in custom colors to match existing architectural schemes. For more information
on ordering a custom color, see “Optional Accessories” below.
®
, Inc. Ecodome’s
The Dome
The dome is made of high impact, UV-resistant polycarbonate and allows full use of
Studio 250 and Studio 575 series fixture’s pan movement. However, the Ecodome
housing limits the fixture’s visible tilt range to the available 180° tilt ar ea of the dome. Once
the light beam passes b e yond the available 180° tilt area of the dome, it will be blocke d by
the Ecodome housing.
Note:If you plan to use a Studio Spot 575 or Studio Spot 250 fixture in Ecodome,
you must install light blocks to protect the Ecodome housing from possible
damage due to the fixture’s light beam shining directly on the inside of the
housing. For more information on installing light blocks, see page 2-4.

You must observe the following warnings and cautions when performing any type of
service on either Ecodome or the fixture installed inside Ecodome:
Warnings: (1) Disconnect power before servicing.
(2) Consult the documentation provided with the fixture
installed inside Ecodome for important safety information.
(3) Do not operate this equipment without complete lamp
enclosure in place or if sh i eld s , lenses, or ultraviolet screens
are damaged.
(4) Change shields, lenses, or ultraviolet screens if they have
become visibly damaged to such an extent that their
effectiveness is im pa i red , for example by cracks or deep
scratches.
(5) Never look di rectly at the lamp whi l e the lamp is on.

Caution:This fixture must be serviced by qualified personnel. The
information listed in this section is intended to assist qualified
service personnel only.
Servicing the Fixture
Consult the fixture’s documentation for recommended fixture cleaning and maintenance
procedures.
®
Servicing Ecodome
Some basic recommended service procedures for Ecodome are listed below.
Cleaning Ecodome
To clean the housing, use a cloth and non-abrasive household soap and/or cleaner to wipe
away built-up dirt from the housing.
To clean the dome, leave the dome on the Ecodome unit and follow the steps below:
®
1.If mud or other debris has accumulated on the dome, first spray the dome off with
water.
Ecodome® User ManualPerforming Maintenance3-1
Page 38
2.After cleaning away built-up debris, use a soft cloth (a wet cotton rag, chamois, or
cheese cloth is recommended) and water or mild glass cleaner to wipe away dirt
and debris from the o ut e r do me surface.
Caution:Do not use paper towels or other abrasive materials to clean the
dome; doing so can leave scratches which may impair image
quality.
3.Optional. As a final cleaning, dampen a soft cloth with denatured rubbing alcohol
to thoroughly clean the dome’s surface.
Checking Intake/Exhaust
You must leave at least 24 inches (61 cm) clearance around both the intake and exhaust
vents, located on opposite sides of the Ecodome base. Because wind and weather
conditions can cause debris to build up around the vents, you should regularly inspect for
any of the following:
•Grass clippings or leaves: Use your hands or a vacuum to clear away leaves
and clippings.
•Water , snow, or soil: Accumulations of water or soil within 24 inches (61 cm) of
