3. General Guidelines.
The
Elektralite lightStream
is a lighting fixture for professional use on stages, in churches, theatres, etc.
The
Elektralite lightStream
should only be operated at between 120 to 240 volts and only indoors. By 240 volts we mean that the
neutral must remain a neutral and NOT be used as one phase in a 120v circuit to create 208 volts across the
Elektralite
lightStream.
The reason for this is simple, the neutral is not protected with a fuse. Any problem with that phase will not be protected
by the
Elektralite lightStream.
The
Elektralite lightStream
should not be operated 24/7 (24 hours a day; 7 days a week). The
Elektralite lightStream
needs
operation breaks to ensure that it will work for a long time without problems. Please do not shake
Elektralite lightStream
and avoid
using brute force when installing or operating it.
When choosing the location to install the
Elektralite lightStream
, please make sure that it is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture
or dust. The minimum distance between the
Elektralite lightStream
and the illuminated surface must be more than 3 feet.
Always mount the
Elektralite lightStream
with an appropriate safety cable/chain.
Operate the
Elektralite lightStream
only when you are familiar with the features of the fixture. Do not permit operation by persons
not qualified to operate it.
All modifications to the
Elektralite lightStream will invalidate the warranty. There are absolutely no exceptions. That includes
operation of the fixture at 208v using two different 120v phases.
If
Elektralite lightStream
is operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the
Elektralite lightStream
maybe
damaged and the guarantee will be void.
4. Installation
Please ensure that the
Elektralite lightStream
is hung using the appropriate "C" clamps or half cheeseboros and the U brackets
that come with the
Elektralite lightStream
. A safety chain or cable should also be used as a secondary point of holding the fixture
in case the clamp comes loose.
Never hang the fixture without a safety chain or cable
.
Mount the
Elektralite lightStream
either vertically upright or vertically down. DO not mount the
Elektralite lightStream
sideways.
If you are not qualified or have any doubts about hanging the
Elektralite lightStream,
then do
NOT
hang it.
Do not clamp the cable to the U bracket or clamp. That is not a secondary safety point.
A secondary safety point is any point that will adequately hold the
Elektralite lightStream,
if the "U" brackets, "C" clamps or half
cheese-boros fail. Then the safety cable would be the backup and stop the
Elektralite lightStream
from falling to the ground. So do
NOT
fix the safety to the same place that the "C"clamps/half cheese-boros are attached.
