Unpacking Instructions 

Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that 

all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and 

retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself 

shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture 

must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box 

and packing. 

AC Power 

This fixture has an auto-switching power supply that can accommodate a wide range of input 

voltages. The only thing necessary to do before powering on the unit is to make sure the line voltage 

you are applying is within the range of accepted voltages. This fixture will accommodate 100~240 

VAC, 50/60 Hz. All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a 

rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for 

a 0% to 100% switch. 

Safety Instructions 

 

 

 

Please keep this User Guide for future consultation. If you sell the unit to another user, be sure that 
they also receive this instruction booklet. 

 

Always make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage, and that the line voltage you are 
connecting to is not higher than that stated on the decal or rear panel of the fixture. 

 

This product is intended for indoor use only! To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose fixture to 
rain or moisture. 

 

Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the unit while operating. 

 

The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20 in (50 cm) from adjacent 
surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked. 

 

Always disconnect from power source before servicing or replacing lamp or fuse and be sure to 
replace with same lamp source. 

 

Secure fixture to fastening device using a safety chain. Never carry the fixture solely by its head. Use 
its carrying handles. 

 

Maximum ambient temperature (Ta) is 104° F (40° C). Do not operate fixture at temperatures higher 
than this.  

 

In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. Never try to repair the 
unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please 
contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center.  

 

Never connect the device to a dimmer pack. 

 

Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged. 

 

Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord. 

 

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

 

Do not daisy chain power to more than 37 units. 

 

Caution! 

There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or 
attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, 
please contact CHAUVET at: 954-929-1115.
