er continues to pop, stop using the unit and contact our customer

Lamp Replacement:
Caution! Never attempt to change the lamp
while the fixture is plugged in. Always disconnect the main power
and allow the unit ample time to cool before attempting to replace
the lamp.
1. Be sure to follow the proper handling procedures that deal with
halogen lamps.
2. Locate the lamp socket access door located on the top of the
unit and unscrew the two thumb screws that hold the door in
place.
3. After removing the thumb screw, lift the cover and remove to
expose the lamp socket assembly.
4. Carefully remove the old lamp and discard it in the trash.
5. Replace the lamp with an exact match and reassemble in reverse
order.
Halogen Lamp Warning:
This fixture is fitted
with a halogen lamp which is highly susceptible
to damage if improperly handled. Never touch the
lamp with your bare fingers as the oil from your
hands will shorten lamp life. Also, never move the
fixture until the lamp has had ample time to cool.
Remember, lamps are not covered under warranty
conditions.
COLOR SPLASH
Power Supply:
Before plugging your
unit in, be sure the source voltage in your
area matches the required voltage for
your American DJ
®
Color Splash™ before
attempting operation. See the next page for
lamp relplacement and breaker reset
Operation:
This fixture is designed to
operate as a stand alone unit and does not
require a controller of any type. The Color
Splash™ was created to meet the demands of theatrical groups and
production groups. The desire was to create a low cost unit with an
incredible effect, without any strong flashing lights or special fog
needs. This unit comes with nine built-in colors that can be used to
create a variety of unique effects. This fixture is ready to be plugged
in right out of the box. When the unit is plugged into a matching
power supply, the lamp will strike and the unit’s two internal effect
wheels will immediately begin to turn. On the rear of the unit there
is one toggle switch that is used to control the internal color wheel.
When toggle switch is in the “I” position the color wheel will automat-
ically and continuously scroll through the color wheel. When the color
wheel toggle switch is in the “O” position the color wheel will lock in
place.
Color Lock:
To lock the color wheel to a desire color or color com-
bination, wait for the wheel to turn to your desired color setting and
push the color wheel toggle switch to the “O” position, this will lock
the color wheel into place. You can also create a more dramatic effect
by using split color combinations by stopping the wheel anywhere
between two adjacent colors.
