General Maintenance 

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently.  Usage 

and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should 

be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause 

overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off 

fixture before conducting maintenance. 

Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a 

soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to 

the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.  

The cleaning of external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. 

Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or 

particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on 

the unit’s optics. Clean with 

soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. Always dry the parts carefully. Clean the external optics at 

least every 20 days. 

Returns Procedure 

Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued. 

Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #). 

Products returned without an RMA # will be refused. Call CHAUVET and request RMA # prior to 

shipping the fixture. Be prepared to provide the model number, serial number and a brief description 

of the cause for the return. Be sure to properly pack fixture, any shipping damage resulting from 
inadequate packaging is the customer’s responsibility. CHAUVET reserves the right to use its own 

discretion to repair or replace product(s). As a suggestion, proper UPS packing or double-boxing is 

always a safe method to use. 

Note: 

If you are given an RMA #, please include the following information on a piece of 

paper inside the box: 

1) 

Your name 

2)

3)

The RMA # 

5) 

A brief description of the symptoms 

Claims 

Damage incurred in shipping is the responsibility of the shipper; therefore the damage must be 

reported to the carrier upon receipt of merchandise. It is the customer's responsibility to notify and 

submit claims with the shipper in the event that a fixture is damaged due to shipping.  Any other claim 

for items such as missing component/part, damage not related to shipping, and concealed damage, 

must be made within seven (7) days of receiving merchandise.
