Halogen Lamp Warning!
This fixture is fitted with
halogen lamps which are highly susceptible to dam-
age if improperly handled. Never touch the lamps
with your bare fingers as the oil from your hands will
shorten lamp life. Also, never move the fixture until
the lamps have had ample time to cool. Remember,
lamps are not covered under warranty conditions.
Fixture Cleaning:
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and exter-
nal lenses and dichroic colored dishes should be carried out periodi-
cally to optimize light output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing.
2. Use a soft brush to clean out the cooling vents
3. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
20 days.
4. Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
30-60 days.
5. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit
back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy use we recom-
mend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure lon-
gevity, and crisp beam output.
