Safety Notes

Read all the following safety notes before working with this product. These notes contain important 
information about the installation, usage, and maintenance of this product.

Personal Safety

Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while the product is on.

Always disconnect the product from the power source before cleaning or replacing the fuse.

Always connect the product to a grounded circuit to avoid the risk of electrocution.

Do not touch the product’s housing when operating because it may be very hot.

Mounting and Rigging

Do not submerge this product (IP65). Temporary outdoor operation is fine.

When using this product in an outdoor environment, use IP65 (or higher) rated power and data 
cables. Secure unused power and data ports with attached IP65 covers.

CAUTION: When transferring product from extreme temperature environments, (e.g., cold truck to warm, 
humid ballroom) condensation may form on the internal electronics of the product. To avoid causing a 
failure, allow product to fully acclimate to the surrounding environment before connecting it to power.

Not for permanent outdoor installation in locations with extreme environmental conditions. This 
includes, but is not limited to:

Exposure to a marine/saline environment (within 3 miles of a saltwater body of water).

Locations where the normal high or low temperatures exceed the temperature ranges in this 
manual.

Locations that are prone to flooding or being buried in snow.

Areas where the product will be subjected to extreme radiation or caustic substances.

Mount this product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from adjacent 
surfaces.

Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the product when operating.

When hanging this product, always secure to a fastening device using a safety cable.

Power and Wiring

Always make sure you are connecting the product to the proper voltage in accordance with the 
specifications in this manual or on the product’s specification label.

Never connect the product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.

Never disconnect this product by pulling or tugging on the power cable.

Operation

Do not operate this product if there is damage on the housing, lenses, or cables. Have the damaged 
parts replaced by an authorized technician at once.

Do not cover the ventilation slots when operating to avoid internal overheating.

The maximum ambient temperature is 113 °F (45 °C). Do not operate the product at higher temperatures.

In the event of a serious operation problem, stop using this product immediately!

Expected LED Lifespan

LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, primarily because of heat. LEDs that are arranged in 
clusters experience higher operating temperatures than single LEDs. For this reason, operating clustered 
LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this 
lifespan is 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by 
improving the ventilation around the product, thus reducing the ambient temperature. In addition, limiting 
the overall projection intensity may extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Any reference to servicing in 
this User Manual will only apply to properly trained, certified technicians. Do not 
open the housing or attempt any repairs.

All applicable local codes and regulations apply to proper installation of this 
product.
