CAUTION UV:
Hazardous visible radiation is emitted from this product. Eye or skin irritation may result from

Ensure power supply is disconnected prior to making any changes to cabling configurations.
Operate the unit in a well-ventilated area with at least 5 inches (12cm) clearance on both sides of the Controller
unit for proper air flow.
Avoid physical shocks or jarring of the LED Head, especially while the unit is operating.
The lens assembly includes a coated lens and lens holder. Improper handling and cleaning practices can damage
surfaces or coatings. Note that damage to the surface of the glass or coating can degrade the Controller’s
performance. Follow proper handling and cleaning technique.
Always handle the head and lens assembly by the metal body; never touch the optical window assembly with
your fingertips. The moisture or oils on your fingertips can damage the coating of the glass in the optical window
assembly. Fingerprints left on an optical surface for an extended period of time can become a permanent stain.
Even if you are wearing gloves, avoid touching the optical surface.
Never handle the glass lens/ window with metal implements or tweezers.
When not in use, store LED Head and Lens assemblies as described in
Section 5.4, “Storing LED Head and Lens
Assemblies”
